OK, now that I have had a week or so to let everything soak in, I have to say that I admire David and the rest of guys so much more now than ever.

We got tickets to Radford, VA. Got in line around 2 pm. Didn't mind the wait at all!! The weather was gorgeous, everyone around us were very frindly, got a little sun to boot. We ended up about 5th row dead center. GREAT VIEW!! Close enough to see everyone clearly, but back enough to take in the whole show. I had never heard anything from Ryan Star before, but after the show I bought his CD. He was very good and energetic. Must have had a few dozen energy drinks! lol Pycho Suicidal Girl rocked. I think I may know a few of those too. Then what can I say about David's set- It F'n Rocked. So much different and BETTER than the Idol tour. I loved every song he did. I don't think I could pick a favorite, however Hot for Teacher stands out--I mean hot, wet David--'nuff said!! This show solidified my sister as a Cook fan for life. We didn't get to wait after the show, had a 2 1/2 drive home, then about 3 hours of sleep to get until work the next morning.

Then to my surpise, Monday night I get messages about extra tickets to Knoxville. Hell yea!! This time I decide to suprise my daughter also. Her first concert ever! Everyone we encountered was absolutley wonderful, especially to my daughter (she's . We stood through "tropical storm rain", tornado warnings and all. And with only 1 umbrella. But once we walked inside that was a distant memory! Except for the soaked feet. We were front row, directly in front of Andy. L-U-C-K-Y!! Ryan now has a fan in my daughter also. He was so sweet to her. As soon as his set was done, she asked him for a pic, and he stopped right there and posed. That was one of her highlights, and a 8 x 10 in her room. Then David came out,and I thought she was going to hit the floor. She looked at me with tears in her eyes and lipped "Thank you". That made my weekend! That show was in a class of it's own. Radford was great, but words can't even express my thoughts for Knoxville. There were so many awsome moments about the show I couldn't even begin to sum them up. However, David, we don't think you "have something" because Doc wouldn't share your straw!! Anyway, to sum it up, I would like to say Thanks David for a truely amazing week. And for making me the "Best Mom ever" to a little girl
