Here’s the rest of Brooke’s tour blog…which still isn’t complete, so I think we should all be anticipating a Part 3. LOL

And I’m back! So I now I need to construct a few run-on sentences to get back into “blog mode”. We are nearing the end of the Indianapolis show… I just heard “Hello” from my dressing room, David Cook’s first song of his set… that means I have three songs till I have to be on stage for the big ‘ol finale!

Back to the purpose of this blog… Intermission and Beyond! Intermission is all about Guitar Hero, the best game in the universe and also one of our sponsors! I pretty much developed an addiction to Guitar Hero during my time on the show, I’m not super duper good, I’m still on the beginner level, but I play it with all my heart:) Anywho, Right after we sing the first act finale… Lil’ Archuleta appears larger than life on the Jumbo-tron in a very hilarious and or adorable guitar hero commercial, that I’m sure many of you have seen (If you haven’t seen it you can YouTube it, Cook has one too, classic). Instantly the crowd goes into hysteria…just wait till he appears on the stage in REAL LIFE!

Alright so Cook is singing “Hero” which is my cue to hit the stage… BRB

well everyone, looks I’m struggling to find the time to finish this blog… I just have a few minutes here and there, just got back from the show not to long ago, it’s close to 2 am and I’m soooo tired, I’ve been tugged at in every direction today and have no activity left in the noggin:)

goodnight!

And here’s another blog Brooke posted yesterday titled I’m sorry Cincinnati :( :

I’m sorry Cincinnati :(
Current mood: drained
Category: Music

To the lovely people of Cincinnati that were at the show… you were a great audience, thanks for your kindness! This afternoon I met many of you before the show! My apologies, tonight I was not able to come out to meet you all and sign autographs after the show as I always do,! Unfortunately I started to feel really run down today, and by the end of my set my voice was barely hanging on and I was starting to get the chills and aches and pains… nothing to serious I just need to get some quality sleep tonight, take it easy, and rest my voice. This is a great gig, but it is definitely physically and mentally demanding! Thanks once again, and I hope that you had the time of your life at the show! I’m going to sleep here in my bunk on the bus…. Detroit here we come!

She’s just the sweetest thing ever!

TOUR DE IDOL: Part 2 “Intermission and Beyond”
Current mood: calm
Category: Music

Bonjour… I decided that part two deserved a whole new post of it’s own. By the way, This will be my THIRD and final attempt at creating this blog… I can’t possibly describe my frustration after drafting a lengthy blog jam packed with all kinds of great stuff… I click “preview and post” and all the sudden, POOF… it’s gone, this has not happened once, but twice! Long story short… I lost my internet connection in both instances yet for random reasons. I was feeling pretty t.o.’d about it, I just about had a lil’ explosion … but then I reminded myself, “Brooke… it’s just a blog” :) I decided this time I would put the post together in a word document and save it!

Wowsers…Okay so there was just an enormous crack of thunder and flash of lightning outside my hotel window, I find it quite exciting actually, I haven’t seen a storm like this in a long time! At the moment I’m snuggled under my incredibly soft covers with my laptop… listening to the rain and “Dalilah” on the soft rock radio station. Can I just say that I absolutely love soft rock stations, I dig the mellow vibe, and yeah… it’s full of cheesy adult contemporary hits from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, but seriously who doesn’t secretly love songs like “lady in red”, they’ve played so many songs tonight that I haven’t heard in quite a while and I’m writing them down so I can remember to go download ‘em on iTunes. Playing right now is Lionel Richie’s “say you, say me… say it together, that’s the way it should be… aaaaahhhhhh” …SO GOOD! Oh how I love Lionel! Now Jim Croce… I’m so happy right now:)

Alrighty, So since part one in Portland we have since been in Tacoma, Salt Lake City, St. Louis., Chicago, Columbus and now we are in Indianapolis! We now have 13 shows under our belt, 40 more to go! So where did I leave off…. Intermission right?

I’M SORRY, I JUST GOT REALLY TIRED AND CAN’T KEEP MY EYES OPEN… I WILL CONTINUE ON IN THE MORNING-ISH

Nighty night :) zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Brooke posted this super cute blog:

We are friends!
Current mood: sleepy
Category: Friends

hi everyone, so it’s kinda funny, and or interesting how seriously people take this myspace thing… I can’t believe I’m even writing a blog about this, LOL!!!

I have been receiving comments and messages of people asking me why David Archuleta does not appear to be in my top friends… Please Don’t fret my dears, David is one of my favorite people on the planet!!! However the function to search the URL address to find and arrange my top friends is not working, and has not been working for some time, it’s been driving me crazy… and so after going on a search through hundreds of pages of friends… I still can’t find Archie’s official page… along with a few other idol contestant friends of mine! In time, I will work it out, when I have few spare moments while on the road!

Rest assured, we all are all super duper friends, like family actually, enjoying this tour together… regardless of what our “top friends” situation looks like:)

Goodnight boys and girls!!

She also posted a couple new pictures - all of which we’ve seen, but her captions are definitely worth a look! =D

Another thing, Brooke will be on Ellen on Monday - it’s a repeat of the last time, but always worth watching a second (or third or fourth) time around LOL! :)

This is from Tim Simms:

“Songs From the Attic” is now available in retail stores such as Walmart, Borders and Barnes and Noble nationwide!!

Brooke is also #1 on Clear Channel’s online music portal and is going to possibly…possibly be added to on-air play by the end of the month!!
