Its finally here!!!! Cant wait i hope to see everyone I was literally practicing my lines in my sleep last night.


P.S.Stupid question what did people do like about handbags and purses? lol

i'll be back to check in before i leave

[Guest Guest]

Have a blast, everyone going!!

[Guest Guest]

Both of the VIPs I went to, we just set our purses on the floor before we went up to talk to the guys. No one was bothering them.

[vsteph1 0]

I had my purse with me. I never thought to put it down. I also had my Dec Tour book in it for the guys to sign, so I kinda needed it. But never really thought about my purse. I think it is like a attached appendage or something. It's always with me.

Peg, Jan and everyone else who is going, have a wonderful time. I'm with you in spirit. I gotta admit, I was supposed to go to this show, so this morning, every time I think about everyone being there and about this show I get weepy. lol Guess I'm just a little emo today.

[BUFFALUVDAVEYSDANCER 0]

Getting ready to leave soon . I will probley be back with something very late tonight. O gosh then again this could be the end of me

[Piper 0]

Someone tweeted this... I think they may had soundchecked...
@tweetheart1982: cover Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" @thedavidcook @andyskib @montyanderson @TheRealDevinB @KYLESPEEK

[CookifiedTexan 0]

Believe me, if they'd soundchecked Lets Get it On, there are at least 5 people on my timeline alone who are at the show that would have freaked and tweeted it. That's probably more of a request to the guys.

[vsteph1 0]

If Dave sang Let's Get it On during soundcheck half my timeline would be dead. Of course he has been known to swear the fandom to secrecy which threats of Magic Rainbows. lol

Does anyone know if there is a ustream tonight?

Yay, Amanda! Can't wait to hear all about it tomorrow.

[Guest Guest]

Only got a few pictures. Me and my camera had a babysitter. The security guard never left my side. I've had friends less loyal.

[Guest Guest]

Great ones, though, Eve! Thanks for sharing.

[arali1111 0]

I watched ustream and my questions are:
why Declaration and/or Lie wasn't a single?
is there a possibility that the next single will be TMO ( so beautiful!!) or maybe TMAIA ?

[dsil 0]

Great pics!

Here are a few of my better photos...enjoy!

[Guest Guest]

Thank you, Hannah and Eve. Beautiful pictures, both of you. I just wish I had been there with you, but it's great to see what I missed.

[Guest Guest]

Thanks all for posting videos and pics!!!

So happy for you, Amanda and everyone who was there! And so sad for those who had to cancel

Marina, we all have wondered why they didn't release more singles from DCTR, especially Declaration which was the CD's promo tour

[BUFFALUVDAVEYSDANCER 0]

I find it makes me feel better if I'm going through a post-concert down to type a recap, because then I get to relive it all.

Hi E1 What a Great Show I had a great time and the best part of this show is now my Hubby is COOKIFIED. This was his first show and he got lucky beacuse some Girl who was standing in line with us GAVE my Hubby a VIP PASS for nothing the person that was supposed to go with her canceled so Peg and Mike were talking to her and he told her his birthday was comming up so she said Happy Birthday and gave him the VIP PASS I was so so Happy Beacuse we couldn't afford to get him one and the girl didn't want any thing for it we were floored we didn't know what to say . So hubby got to meet the guys and get a picture with them and he had them all sign the Picture. The Best part for hubby was Talking to Mr Andrew Cook he says now that there BFFS LOL Not sure what they talked about but Andrew now has all of our information, Email , Home Address, and Phone # I couldn't believe it. I didn't realize that Andrew was going to be there so for me that was an extra bonus. Love Andrew and such a Sweet guy i couldn't believe how much him and David look alike. Well the M&G was great for me i got hugs from All of the guys i was all tongue tied as usual i can't even remember what i talked to him about as a matter of fact i did remember asking him if he rememberd me from the Idol Tour and OH MY GOD he said Yes and i said no you don't but then he told me he remembers me beacuse i was so nervous that i asked him to sign this little fanny pack that i was carrying around with me all day and when he said that i just about PASSED OUT i was like No way he remembers that. WOW. I told him the last time that he was here in Niagara he signed a Birthday Card for me and he rememberd that too. AMAZING Truley AMAZING. We Didn't get alot of banter but we got good songs. The Hand that Feeds was Awesome and he sang a few songs that had a new twist on them which i thought were amazing. Met some other WNs and Amanda was a Sweetheart seeing her face when she met David was Priceless. Over All The Day and Night were Perfect even tho i was sick I had a Blast. I'll Treasure forever all those Hugs i got. I was a little dissapointed that AGAIN i didn't meet Eve, and other WNs that i wanted to meet i did meet some new WN Friends. I was so looking forward to meeting Jeannie but she got sick and missed out. Jeannie i hope your feeling a little bit better and im sure we will meet some day:) I saw alot of faces that ive seen around but didn't get the chance to get to talk to them. I Saw Kristen, Jules, Rachel, and a few others i don't know by name. I loved the Venue the way it was set up was nice Tables and Chairs on the side so if you wanted to sit for a bit you could. I didn't get any decent pictures beacuse i was too short and i had like 5 tall people in front of me so i had to take pics in between the arms and bodies I was so hoping to get right in front but that didn't happen but Peg, Rachel, and other ladies got some great pictures im sure once Peg Returns from Clifton park she will post every thing. Ok i rambeled long enough if i think of any more i'll add to this. So Worth the Money.

Here's my recap it might kind of be all over the place so i apologize.



Last night was just amazing it was the best for me and my first David concert and I hope more to come too. I really can’t remember much and I swear I blame it on the Dave trance. I actually got to meet a couple new people and it was so nice meeting some of you from here too. It was cool to see Andrew though he is so much like his brother though I got a smile from him as I was waiting for the meet and greet. When my turn came I took a couple breaths and walked over to Devin I got a hug and told him that I love him being in the band and he said “Aw thank-you, then I told Kyle something can’t remember what but whatever it was he liked what I said too and then David I cannot remember exactly what I said to him because when he just looks at you with those eyes and smiles I completely lost what I really wanted to say I think I said something along the lines like “I’ve been waiting for this day to happen and I finally get to see you” then he smiles again and says “aw come here girl “ and then I think I kind of smiled at him and sort of froze lol so he kind nudged me and said “here’s Andy and I think I just said Hi to him and Monty I was so caught up in my Dave moment I couldn’t focus straight so when picture time came I asked Dave if I could get a picture with just him and he couldn’t understand me so I had to talk into his ear and then he talked into mine (yeah i had a nice ear to ear moment with him) and said “Sure, but you need to ask Kyle and Devin if its okay for me” lol and then after that he hugged me again and said “Thanks for coming out and nice meeting you darling” . When it was show time I started balling at first for no reason the minute he started . I was so happy to hear "Lie" live when he stepped away from the microphone I just got chills and Omg! When he sang the NIN cover The Hand That Feeds i swear the feelings that came inside of me was i almost didnt survive the rest . I’m just so happy that I’m not a Dave concert virgin anymore I hope I have more amazing stories ahead of me. Let me also add that the smiles i got from him and those hugs were just amazing

[vsteph1 0]

Awww, I loved reading your recaps. Jan, about time Mike finally saw Dave live! lol. j/k, of course. I'm glad he finally went and how cool that he got to talk to Andrew. And I loved your recap.

Amanda, your recap had me grinning ear to ear, nodding my head yup, yup, ant your comments about how it feels when Dave first looks you in the eyes and smiles and boom!! You just go blank. I understand all to well davetrance. lol. But I hope you can at least always remember the moment and feelings and experience, even if the words are gone. kwim? And Yay! to not being a DC Concert virgin anymore! Hope you get to go more. His shows are sooooo addicting. Kind of like the old Lays potato chip slogan. No one can eat just one! Well, no one can attend just ! DC show. lol

Jan and Amanda, Thanks for sharing your recaps! I'm so excited for both of you. I totally understand about the Dave trance lol. I have that problem too. I have no problem talking to him. It's just that when I walk away, I have no clue what I said or what he said. My mind goes completely blank.
