I miss ALTNOY. ;'(
WHEEE!! I'm excited. :) 8 minutes of happiness. Thank you DavidLetting you guys know about the band auditions and meetings that have been going on aside from the NASCAR and blimp rides while in LA haha. Been keeping busy with that but really looking forward to how it's going to come about. Can't wait to get everything set up and to start performing again! Also came up with a little idea on the piano during the blog but I guess I'm a little too self-conscious in front of people and can't multi task when it comes to writing and blogs... both things I am self-conscious about lol. Apologize if this blog doesn't make a lot of sense but hope you enjoy it still.

Say "Ahh!" The singer posted this shot while getting his wisdom teeth removed. "Hopefully I'll recover soon enough," he said in a video blog.
At the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana right now! Wanted to let you guys see the track while the racers get ready for the Royal Purple 300 as well as the Sprint Cup tomorrow. Had such an AMAZING time riding the Goodyear Blimp! Thanks so much to Goodyear for the experience.

David Archuleta “holds” up the Goodyear Blimp just before a ride on the Spirit of America late last week in California.
When Goodyear heard of the 20-year-old musician’s wish to get a ride on the blimp, they made it happen! The official Facebook posted, “Pilot-in-Charge Jon Conrad flew them along the scenic route up the California Coast along the Palos Verdes peninsula, and for over an hour he was rewarded with a private performance from David and his friends as they sang a medley of hit songs a cappella. A highlight of the once-in-a-lifetime flight for David was watching a pod of dolphins playing and chasing the SOA’s shadow on the water as it passed overhead.”
David tweeted, “Just got to do one of the coolest things I’ve always wanted to do!! Got to go on a blimp ride!!”
The "American Idol" Season 10 Top 11 take the stage Wednesday night (March 23). The theme is Motown, which should prove interesting for country singers Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina.
But before this year's Top 11 get their Motown groove on, let's take a look back at some past Top 11 stand-outs. We've picked out the cream of the crop here, but let us know in the comments if you disagree with any of our choices (or if there's somebody we left out).
Also - which one was the best? Clay's "Somewhere Out There," Carrie's "Alone," Fantasia's "Always On My Mind," McPheever's "Come Rain or Come Shine," Daughtry's "I Walk the Line," Jordin's "I (Who Have Nothing," Archie's "Long and Winding Road," Cook's "Day Tripper," Glambert's "Ring of Fire," Lee's "The Letter" or Crystal's "Me and Bobby McGee." Vote below - honestly, we think it's pretty hard to choose.
This past January, American Idol favorite David Archuleta posted a blog on YouTube stating that his biggest New Year's wish was to fly in a blimp. We thought it would be great fun to make his wish come true, and last Friday it did as David and five of his friends took to the skies in the Spirit of America. Pilot-in-Charge Jon Conrad flew them along the scenic route up the California Coast along the Palos Verdes peninsula, and for over an hour he was rewarded with a private performance from David and his friends as they sang a medley of hit songs a cappella. A highlight of the once-in-a-lifetime flight for David was watching a pod of dolphins playing and chasing the SOA's shadow on the water as it passed overhead.
Thanks for riding with us David! We enjoyed having you!
