Best. Night. Ever.

May 22nd, 2008

I just returned home from the finale and it was incredible. I will tell the excruciating tale of the “will they/won’t they get inside” when I do my summary post tonight. But as luck would have it, my favor with the Idol Gods is high, and we ended up sitting in the second row. Yes, THE SECOND ROW. I was literally sitting next to Jasmine Trias. Like bumping elbows with her when I was clapping. Fantasia was sitting one row in front of us, and she still had the red hair (it was hard to miss her). Sanjaya and Ace were 5 rows behind us (Ace is even hotter in person, if that is possible). I said hi to Kim Caldwell and Justin Guarini. Carrie walked right in front of me. I was walking next to Teri Hatcher on the way out. And the highlight? I shook Simon’s hand. Woot!!!! There was confetti, and pyro (yes, it’s real) and Cookie took the Cake! It was amazing seeing him win. Wow. I can’t wait to watch it back.

Also, you can listen to David’s soon-to-be-a-hit-even-though-it’s-a-craptastic-coronation-song single here. And watch for it on the charts soon enough. Good luck Cookie!
