David Archuleta in Arizona ~ T Minus 12 Days and Counting!
Posted by djafan on Sunday, September 4, 2011
May I have your attention please!!
Word. It is going to be very hot in Arizona (average temp this time of year 103 degrees). So please dress cool and wear red, white and blue. The most important thing is to be comfortable in the heat. Dress code is optional. You have to dress, but the colors I mean. Por favor don’t make him have to get after you with his sharpie. Now. Time is growing very short and we have a few updates to post and discuss. I hit publish last night and then took it down to work out some fine details. Sorry for the confusion. Oh, BTW…
*Update for Gifting*
For the Gilbert, AZ event on September 17, SweetonDA will be accepting letters, cards, donation envelopes and gifts for David. Please keep packages small and no larger than a shirt box or large packing envelope. To get her mailing address, email her at
*Wristband Update*
Over a hundred wristbands have been mailed out by Djafan. She has extended the time for ordering to the 6th which gives the mail 8 days to get back to you. Any left will be sold at the gate by the venue for fans who want to donate and get reserved seating but didn’t hear about it online. Some wristbands have been generously purchased for gifting. Thank you to you know who you all are! See me about that. I will be wearing a red hat. Or possibly a straw colored hat with red, white and blue scarves tied on. I can’t decide. 😕
*Update – We are getting Bracelets!*
SandyBeaches has generously purchased uber-awesome silicone bracelets for gifting to everyone going to the event! Anyone who has a wristband will receive a bracelet, shown below. Thank you SandyBeaches! Muwaah! A truer statement could not be worn. She has ordered a nice variety of sizes too, not just one size fits all. 🙂 I will let her post more on this in comments.
*Flower Power*
Two bouquets for sure will be purchased…one from the fans who could not attend and one from those attending. If you are not attending and would like to contribute to flowers, send a small donation to SweetonDA at her email above. Indicate that you would like the donation to go for flowers. For the other bouquet, those attending will be shaken down on the spot. 😉 We are only talking 1 to 5 dollars. Leftover money will go toward possibly having an Edible Bouquet (which would melt in the heat) delivered to his hotel room. <<<<This last would be delivered via event coordinators for obvious reasons. Here are some links for florists in the town of Gilbert if you are interested in making your own purchase. Bouquets should be brought to venue and hopefully we can get them to him after his set, along with the cards, small gifts, etc; sent to SweetonDA or brought by those attending. One large bag should do it. SandyBeaches is bringing a Canadian Hockey bag. I have no idea what that is but it sounds really cool…and manly. A little aside inside note..Djafan said Barbara Stowell (event coordinator extraordinaire and super nice lady) was surprised that we actually wanted to GIVE him stuff! BAHAHHAAAAAA!!! smh.

Hi all,
Angelica,
Thank you for a great new post, this is the event to look forward to after the “Archurest” . You all are very well organize with all the gifts, flowers, wristbands, bracelets ect. wish I could be there not only for the concert but also enjoy it with all of you, it could be a concert experience of a life time since we speak the same “lanuage… the Archuleta lanuage”. Anyway will be very happy waiting for recaps and ton of pictures and videos 🙂 from you all, I miss seeing him live already !!!
I was lost in all the glory of the vids you all post in the last thread, have to say that those vids from KL concert really bring back my fondest memories sighhhh… how I miss his concert !!! Watching those vids make me realize that it’s not just his voice that make the concert as memorable as it was, you have to “watch” him sing too, he sings with his whole body-being even his pinky can sing lol ( watch some vid closely you’ll see “the singing pinky” ) you just can’t blink… don’t blink haha. Some songs are best captured his whole body movement and some the close up is a must Idk hope you understand what I’m trying to say!!! I found this “elevator KL” that capture his whole body movement it was sooo funnn to watch it again, he’s too much here we go…

Pocoelsy, have to get ready to go to work, but going to check back on that pinky finger:) Love that video. David’s body moves in some way, to every single solitary note of music that is played.Its incredible isn’t it.From the top of his head to the tip of his toes, hes in the music with perfect timing.he’s stunning.
Have a great day everyone. I am off to labor!

pocoelsy, I had seen that Elevator in a closer version, much like TOSOD I posted, but did not see THIS video! LOOOOOOOVE it!
I remember you talking about the hops before :50, NOW I see what you meant, lol! And there’s that snap-to-turnaround-thing 2:22 right after he cuts the band off to give his marching orders. Ahhhhhhhh, can’t get enough. Never enough.
Kudos to all you hard working fans that make every one of his events so special!

Happy Holiday, we are having the same Labor Day holiday here in Canada.
After the performance in Arizona, there will be “Nobody Sings It Better” bracelets for all of you back here at the ranch. Please email me your size choice and I will give you my address for a return envelope with stamp. My email address is: thevoiceschat@yahoo.ca They are just a Little Shout Out to the WORLD! YES, nobody sings it better. (Fashioned after the song, “Nobody Does It Better”. You know the song!!)
PLEASE NOTE…to anyone here wanting a bracelet sent to you, as you do not have a Canadian stamp to place on your self-addressed envelope, please slip in $1.00 and I will place the stamp on it!
Also, there will be bracelets for gifting projects, so I will hope to see Karin and anyone else involved in a charity of David’s interest. That will be discussed when we return.
The bracelets will be in sizes 7, 7 1/2 and 8. The size of the bracelet that was included with his CD was size 8. My wrist is a 7 and I am wearing the 8 leaving room to get it over my hand.
That’s all for now!
