New Tour Folder!!!!!

[realiTVlover 0]

Come visit our new David Cook/Gavin Degraw Tour 2011 folder!

For now, only the The Tour Is Coming thread is open but check out the announcements and stickies in the new forum to see what we've been up to in getting ready for the new tour. Now if only David would announce the dates...

I kept checking twitter all day long, on my breaks and lunches of course. BTW, do we have a mobile version of this site?

[Guest Guest]

Viv, I don't have a phone with internet access, but I know a lot of people check the site out via phone, so I would say the answer is yes.

Ed posted this last night (late for him) so hopefully we get some dates... in the immediate future.

Haha! Trust me, I'd love to never say 'soon' again or have to post lame news items to that effect because issues beyond my control or jurisdiction have every one of us twiddling our thumbs. Based on emails I saw today, though, I think that official announcement will come very, errr, shortly.

[Guest Guest]

Hopefully shortly is a lot sooner than soon!

I"m patiently waiting but my patience is wearing thin! WE NEED DATES!

My foot is getting sore from tapping so much, lol.

[cookie4tune 0]

Shortly is surely NOT a four-letter word, which I despise. Lol.

[Guest Guest]

Love the clock emoticon!

We have some dates, people! Check out the tour folder - we are starting planning threads for each of the confirmed shows now!

PHOENIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Serenity 0]

Damn. Always St. Louis. What's he got against coming to KC?



Ah well.....not my time yet!

[momtoknj 0]

They are coming to York, PA, but I can't do the day they are coming since I have Disney on Ice tickets with my kids. AHHHHHHH!!!!

[vsteph1 0]

You know what? Seeing those lovely tour planning threads is almost as wonderful as seeing David Cook live.

It feels like it's been forever, doesn't it?

It really does. I'm loving reading my twitter time line right now too. People are like, we could drive and share a room. it's only 5 hour drive. I can get his day or that day off work. I have this much vacation. lol. It's just such a lovely sight! I've done my share. I have already checked flights to San Diego for the 24th. Not sure if I'm gonna do it yet. I mentioned it to my Sister. We are gonna go see David here on the 23rd, but I told her I want to go to SD the next day. i think my sister thinks I'm nuts. lol

[Guest Guest]

Look what I saw on twitter...

I would be rolling on the floor if david had his fedora or whatever that hat he used to where in that picture. I was just checking out gavin and one of his bandmates twitter. They are really excited about this tour with David. And I had to laugh cause Gavin's fans are as nuts about him, it appears, as we are about David. The question is can Gavin and David fans co-exist in the same room? lol Maybe we could work something out so that Cook fans have the first 5 rows for Cook's set, then we step back for Gavin's set so his fans can have the first 5 rows. lol

[Sarah34 0]

Nooooooooooo!!! They're not coming anywhere in New England!! So disappointing.

[cookie4tune 0]

It's crazy how the dates are NOWHERE near me (by nowhere I mean the impossible), but I feel as excited and I thought "ooh I'm gonna be so busy these upcoming months!"

[CallieOheartscook 0]

Being a broke college student, I really don't need to be doing this....BUT I'M SO STOKED!!!!! My bank account isn't though.

[cookie4tune 0]

The NC one is more than a month away, Callie, you still have time to save!

I was thinking the same thing... just gotta make David wear a hat as well to even the poster out..

[pn112 0]

Hahaha Anna - Or, Mickey Mouse ears would be another option!

Seeing the tour threads makes this real!! I'm thinking the only show I will be able to make is the First show, which might be really fun! That's the closest to me - It's about a 3 hour drive. I just need to know how much tickets are going to be!!

LOL. Gavin seems to always be wearing a hat - he has all sorts of them. Much more variety than David's basic beanies, which only vary from black, to white floppy smurf hat lol!

But I bet David will look just as good or even hotter wearing Gavin's hats...

[realiTVlover 0]

Ana, he's hotter than Gavin whether either is with or without a hat or scruff or bangs or any of that. He is only not hotter than Gavin with... the pornstache lol. I miss his damned gorgeous face. Not to mention his voice. I really wish he were coming to the northeast this autumn. Sigh.

I know he won't hear me, or probably be inspired to or able to do anything about it if he did, but I really wish, especially given the incredible silence of any authority on DCO, I really wish David would just say that he has some, or just one, show booked in the northeast this fall. He wouldn't even have to say when or where, just that a show is confirmed in the northeast - something concrete. It would assuage SO much angst over the clusterfuck way this tour ticket-buying is so far geared wholly towards Gavin's fans.

All the fans of David and of Gavin amongst the 55 million people between Pennsylvania and the northeast Canadian border are all trying to get into one 1000-seat venue that's not even in the northeast, just the closest to the northeast they are coming. And only those who paid $10 to join Gavin's club, or $80 to join the Pullo theater, can get tickets today/tomorrow. We don't have any idea how many tickets will be left over from the pre-sales. David's northeast fans of modest income are totally shafted this tour. I've pretty much just given up being able to see him this fall.

And so I am SO grateful for the Great Adventure show in June. I thought it would be my first DC concert of the year. It appears it was the last as well. I'm glad I relished it as I did, it and the short set at Best Buy, and the Concert for Hope. All were particularly fantastic to me. The first live Circadian, TMAIA & TMO, my old favs Declaration & Heroes, finally getting to hear him acoustic at Best Buy, GTTG bringing me to tears - all I could have hoped it would be and more... those two shows, and the new albums (counting TQN)... June was fantabulous and exciting and very special, and I'll hold onto those memories as this tour passes me, and most DC fans (though not Gavin's) by.

That's very niecly said Stacy

All in All we will get videos from fan that will attend the shows.. so it will be an awesome youtube tour haha.

What I'm wondering is...who has more hats, Gavin or Monty?

[Serenity 0]

That's too funny!!! (And I'm betting the answer is Gavin! )

I posted this, this morning with the same idea in mind! HAHa! I love all their hats!!

I agree...I'm so bummed

[Bamachic80 0]

Hysterically laughing at all the hats!!!

Wasn't sure where to post something like this, but I'm uber disappointed. Memphis was an option for me until I saw it was on a Wednesday night. I'm not able to go to any of them and of course, he skips AL and even Nashville!!! I'm bummed, but hoping that since the album just came out this summer, he won't just do a month long tour and that's it. He'll be back out somewhere soon near me, or at least on a day I can go see him.

November 2009 has been WAY TOO long!!

[jmbdog5 0]

Just got to say I love David In Fedoras more then any other hats oh and of course Baseball Caps Too

this in case any of you didn't notice.

[vsteph1 0]

I just saw an article that was talking about David's show in Buffalo and it said the following:

David Cook's current tour wraps up at the Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas, NV on December 10.

Does anyone know if this is true? Is he done touring? it seems like tour just started.

If there is going to be a tour in the US in 2012, nothing has been announced yet.

It certainly seems he would *like* to tour as long as last time, but with album sales still not through the roof, maybe he'll go back to the studio soon? Who knows. I'm just glad I'm catching him again in a week since we have no idea how long it'll be 'til next time.

[vsteph1 0]

I sure hope he gets to tour Europe.

[Piper 0]

We are praying he could include some dates at South America at 2012... the fans here is getting nuts waiting to see him !!

[dinamata 0]

xD I'm not gonna say that he have to came here because it's obvious XD if the US sales are not good... here are worse.
Anyway, I think it would be a good idea if he could tour with another famous group/band/musician, then maybe a new international countries would be added. That would be cool but It won't happen...

But I don't give up! Everyday I'm spamming everyone in my facebook & twitter XD even tumblr and deviantart and sending messages to my local radio stations. haha

Does anyone know what the sales of TLM are like in other Countries? Like Brazil, or the Philippines?

TLM hadn't been yet released here in Brazil... Sony Music here S**KS.... David doesn't play at our radios....

[cookie4tune 0]

All I know is that it's not selling well at all here. *sniffs* I'd be surprised if it reached 1000 copies. [it's KILLING me to write that]
I'm still pulling my hair out about it.

I've been quite successful in getting people to listen to David's new music, BUT there's a catch. If they liked it, they would instantly look for the bootlegs. I never encouraged them to do that, but $10 is a lot for a casual fan (what's the exact definition of casual, again?) to spend (cause it's worth an average of three days of meal here). And I'm tearing myself apart between what I'm supposed to do (the right thing) and what realistic thing to expect.

[vsteph1 0]

There's nothing you can do. Here in the States I don't understand how anyone can steal music. I mean, it is stealing something. And it robs the musician and the label and everyone who worked on the project of their pay. But what can one do? Lay a guilt trip on them? Yeah, THAT works. lol Although I do lay a guilt trip on my kids if they do that. I don't care who the artist is. lol

[MalLuvsDC150 0]

I think that maybe the lack of dates for the new year could have something to do with his management switch.
If he really isn't touring next year, he's got to be doing something else. I trust that Simon Fuller is going to take care of him since he really seems to love David.

[vsteph1 0]

I'm waiting till the New Year or till I hear something definite from David. That is all.

[dinamata 0]

Oooh... Actually in spain isn't released yet either... Here sonic music also s***ks
here the music industry has been very awful, specially lately with the economic crisis. One day i asked a friend of mine who is an Amauri Vassili fan if she wanted the new cd that was only 5€, she told me: i will download it, it's even cheaper...
So sad to hear that, because I enjoy having the cd, the booklet, awww... Many people don't understand why I buy them instead of downloading for free...

I'm quite worried about that, I hope someday i will go to a concert!!! wait at least for that day David! xDDDD
