am I the only one that didn't know that you and kioat were sisters? That's too cool.
I intend to finally write a blog for my profile now that archucookie has let the cat out of the bag. Actually, no cat was ever in the bag, just a personal preference not to mention it until she did. I'll try to explain that, how I arrived at DCO and why the gosh-awful spelling of coyote, some have asked me about, came to be.

archucookie (I assume kioat is doing her own recap?!)-I enjoyed your story more than I can tell you.
Are you kidding me!! Big sisters are much wiser than that. Never, ever, never retell one of archucookie's stories. I will, however, add a few thoughts.

The MsDarcy shirts, worn earlier in the day, were to attract other DCOers. We both neglected to pm LuvsDC and we wanted to meet some of you people. Other than feeling like a field trip for two, touring the Mariner Museum, it wasn't uncomfortable at all. After all, even if the words were big enough to read, no one but other DCOers would know what they meant. "Bacon?" didn't seem to help us make a connection either. We got a few startled looks and a few WTF looks but no takers. Between shows, out on the balcony, we tried, "Bacon?" again with similar results. One young lady asked us if we smelled bacon. I told her "No, that's just a code word. We're looking for some friends." She said, "You're right, it is a code word. It's the code for 'police in the area'." Aren't these young folks creative? Pigs nearby = smell bacon. The startled looks we'd been getting now made more sense. We need to come up with a new code word peeps. This one is frightening the young concert goers into behaving themselves.

Tis all true, archucookies tale of the Good, Bad, Ugly, Awesome and Sweet. The bus stalking from afar, the near miss Neal photo, the disgusting odor (I nearly ruined ac's shoes) crazy drunken fans, the security nazis, the awesome DC/EEB, Albertha the LOUD. (I'm pretty sure you can hear her on the krynicki2120’s You Tube of CBTM at about .18), The Look (an eye to eye, Bossy Dave, “How dare you, this is my concert, it’s supposed to be all about me”, tongue-in-cheek look) and The Hug.

It wasn't just a hug. I watched hugs going on with the fans before her and they were nice but obligatory on his part. This one was in appreciation for someone who had made his fan interaction part of the job amusing. It was our objective to amuse, if possible, and dang if she didn't accomplish that! That's little sister for ya! I was so happy for her, I forgot to be jealous.

So, we got to meet David Cook. This was a new David for me. I've met the Idol David Cook, I've met the interview David Cook, I've met the DCTR David Cook, I've met the You Tube performer DC with his EEB and even the in person Concert DC/EEB but this is the first time I've ever met the RL David Cook. Or, at least, as close to the RL DC any of us are going to get. This David is soft spoken, sweet, patient, funny, and extraordinarily ordinary. Just Dave. Watching him, I felt like the proud aunt of a talented, intelligent, cute nephew. I'd have no problem sitting down with "Dave" for an informal chat about how his life is going and other topics only a busy-body aunt would bring up. Will this change my perception of “The David Cook, Rock God”? Idk, we’ll see. I may be up to balancing the two. One to squee at and one to fuss at about his haircut.
