I rarely comment on the poems, but I do admire them, as I'm not great with words. I've also sometimes felt like my posts don't get noticed, but I know that if everyone commented on everything they read here, this place would be a chore instead of fun! No worries!

I got to the Nassau Coliseum around 12:30 PM. There were approximately 100 people already waiting by the ramp. That number grew to about 200 as the afternoon wore on. The barriers were 30 feet farther back from the ramp than they were last year and there were five security guards instead of two. Long Island’s local TV news station was there for a short while. There was a group of girls there from Finland. I also met a group from Boston who I had met last year. The woman, Laura, even remembered my name. I gave her a copy of Chris’s new CD because someone was delinquent in following through on her request last year for a CD…. Some of the Idols had street teams there. David Cook’s street team gave out free copies of Analog Heart. Michael Johns’ street team were giving out pictures with some info on the back and signing people up for his fan email list. I gave out paper with Chris’s websites listed on it to some of the people who noticed “Chris” and remembered him. I was the only vestige of Season 6 there. At least this time no one asked if I was Chris’s mother.<BR/><BR/>The buses arrived just after 2:00 PM. The Idols that came out to sign that afternoon were David Cook, Kristy Lee Cook, David Archuleta, Brooke White and Jason Castro. I got pics of David Cook, Kristy and Brooke with “Chris”. David C. said that Chris was a “good guy” ("in spite of the blog entry" was implied). However, the pic speaks for itself (lol). That pose made a big hit with the crowd. Another woman, Jen, who posts on David Cook’s site also took several pics of his pose and she is supposed to email them to me. David Archuleta skipped around the crowd and Jason only came part way down our line, before going back the other way, so I didn’t get good pics of either of them. They were all done by 3:45 PM. I had intended to go home for a couple of hours before returning for the concert, but when I got to my car, I found out that my car alarm wasn’t working and I was stuck. Harry joined me at the venue around 6:00 PM and fixed my car problem. <BR/><BR/>The concert was pretty good. The arena wasn’t sold out, but it was pretty full. There was a lot of screaming and a lot of young kids. The crowd was on its feet most of the time. The Idols all gave great performances. For the first half of the program, half of the top 10 contestants performed solo in descending order (Chikezie, Ramiele, Michael, Kristy, Carly). Each performed 3 songs. Then there was a group number before the intermission. The performances continued by Brooke, Jason, Syesha, David A and finally, David C. The Davids had an extra song or two. There was one last group number at the end. All did a very professional job. However, I liked last year’s format better with more group numbers. Harry was allowed in with his camera, but shortly after the show started, security threatened to confiscate it, so we mainly used my crummy one. We didn’t take any movies. Samples of the performances can be found on Youtube or try Mjsbigblog.com. The setlist is in the Idolforums in the AI 7 2008 Tour section. I was too busy obsessing about why my photos weren’t coming out and so did not pay full attention to the singing. After the show ended, we went out to the ramp, since I wanted to get more photos (I had no meet and greets). However, the crowd was several rows of people deep, and we decided to go home because I wasn’t going to get close enough.<BR/><BR/>There are new pics in my photobucket: <BR/><BR/>http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/ff4/rosaleeNY/American%20Idol%207%202008/?start=0rosaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02008139855126202575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-75575606083563876012008-08-06T14:19:00.000-05:002008-08-06T14:19:00.000-05:00Oh,.....and I also meant to address your "dork" co...Oh,.....and I also meant to address your "dork" comment, dork isn't necessarily a negative around here:)<BR/><BR/><BR/>djDJ in ALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688855990272617413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-76649764677475434032008-08-06T14:18:00.000-05:002008-08-06T14:18:00.000-05:00Ah APP, I went back and read the blog entry you re...Ah APP, <BR/><BR/>I went back and read the blog entry you referenced and other than our resident "Professor" Risa giving you the benefit of her many years in Education, LOL, I didn't see any other comments about your poem, good or bad.

I still feel funny because I didn't get to go to the picnic or knew Amanda. I'm sorry no one liked my poem-O.K., so it's not a slimerick or haiku. I forgot all those crazy rules from English class. Anyway, I felt kinda hurt-I was just trying to have fun like everyone else. Everyone probably thinks I'm a dork!
