I don't know if anyone else in Bloggerland has been watching American Idol this season, but for the first time since Kelly Clarkson won it 7 years ago, Abigail and I got wrapped up in this years Idol fever. Tonight was the big finale pitting the two David's (Archuleta and Cook) against each other. By some twist of good fortune, I was able to score 3rd row seats and Abigail and I skipped work for the day and braved the crowds at the Nokia Theater in downtown L.A.
We sat in a lot of long lines, but in the end it was well worth the wait. Fascinating to see all that goes into a live production like this, we rubbed elbows with a lot of very rich people up front just to the left of Simon Cowell. If you watched the episode you will catch a quick glimpse of Abigail in one shot behind David Cook's mom (Abs is wearing pink) and then a shot of both of us during Archuleta's second song (you really have to be looking). Alas, it was a fun and memorable day being together and dreaming our own dreams while watching these two live out theirs. Any other Idol fans? Who got your vote?

We're not idol fans, but I totally downloaded last night's episode to search for you in the crowd. I did see Ab in the first song, but I couldn't find you during the little guy's second song. How in the world did you get those tickets, Jacob? Is Jeff's bookie working for you now too?
Abigail and I have never really done the "Hollywood" thing and we've been here almost 10 years so I thought it'd be fun (kind of for her 30th b-day next week as well)
I put our names on a waiting list a couple months ago and we got contacted Friday about tixs. We had to wait in a line for about 3 hrs then they just handed us 2 free tickets for the show. Our just happened to be in the orchestra pit, row C. Random. Total cost= $5 (parking pass).
Hey...how cool that you got to go! I don't watch the show but I do know about the 2 Davids!
Did you hear Jimmy kimmel make fun of the cast. I think they were really mad. I think that was last night's show though. I'll try to youtube and find you guys.
