(Kristin / blaykee e-mailed me this report directly. Good job Kristin! The phone-in was phenomenal!)

We got to the venue at about 11:30 and waited about an hour and a half. The boys came out first, but David started at the other end of the line so we got to meet all the guys. They were all very nice (Jason was very quiet) Archie was taking forever so I walked down to the end and found out he was so popular and he was just chatting away. I have to say he looks soooo young. I mean I was prepared for it, but it was still a shock. He's so adorable and his laugh is even better in person! After forever the security guards said that he had to leave so we squished in and he saw me and said, 'I remember you!" Imagine him remembering me! (I know it was only from moments ago but hey, I felt VERY important.) He loved my shirt and asked where I got it. (It was the cartoon Archie and I wrote "Can I adopt him?) I told him I made it and he was impressed! He signed the back. I gave him a 8 1/2 by 11 picture of the San Diego Mormon Temple and the Angel Moroni and he loved it. He was like COOL! I also gave him some pics that my 5 year old drew (they were cute) and he laughed so hard and really seemed thankful. Then the Davids did a handstand contest and, of course, Archie being the most fit, won and I yelled "My David WON!" We stayed around for another 20 minutes just chatting while he autographed everyone's stuff. I asked about Wall E and he said he liked it but it was not his new favorite. We talked about the bracelet that Paula gave him and I said "You're allergic to it right?" And he was shocked. He said "I never told any press that, but yes it gave me a rash. Wow I'm surprised you knew that." (Proving what a true fan I really am!)

He had put the folder with the pictures down and they blew away so security picked it up. When he went to leave he panicked because he couldn't find them. He looked and looked then I yelled that the security had them and he looked relieved.

Some other tidbits

* He was humming a song that was stuck in his head and kept apologizing for it.

* Some obnoxious fan tried to get him to kiss her and he's like "I don't think I kiss people but I'll give you a hug." She kept shoving her face in his face. UGH

Oh I have video of him speaking spanish - very sexy!

I'm sure there's more but I have to get to uploading more vids. I will let you know how the concert went later.

(Kristin will send us updates as the day progresses... and we also have another report from mom4david coming soon!)
