SnowAngelz: Canadian fans of David Archuleta

.

Just wanted to check in with y'all to let you know that you can get your own #PostcardsInTheSky on vinyl! They'll be available at my upcoming shows so be sure to check them out… and don't worry, we''ll be selling 'em on our website soon so everyone has a chance to get one!

I, personally, am MUCH too young to remember “big size albums” and absolutely 100% don’t still have the Consumers Distributing turntable on which some people played Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt and Poco albums (both sides) nonstop and obnoxiously sang along at full blast to get over that jerk in Russell House who only danced with your roommate for the ENTIRE frosh party.

No, not me.

But I have heard through the grapevine that EVERYTHING sounds better on vinyl so I can only imagine (see what I did there? heh) how mind-blowing a Postcards in the Sky vinyl will be.

If you’ve already picked one up at a show… please share how amazing it is!

And praise be that it will be available on the OS!!! IT’S LIKE CHRISTMAS IN JULY!!!!!!

p.s.

Watching David open a vinyl album like it’s some ancient artifact from prehistoric times was well, hiLARious… but seeing his enthusiasm over such a retro, hipster throwback absolutely made my day.

It also made my day that he’s “just checking in” every now and then… no more, no less… just checking in… LOVE IT!!!!

p.p.s.

A lovely fan friend who shall remain nameless sent me these very true words (hope she doesn’t mind me sharing 🙂 🙂 🙂 ):

Sat here thinking….right now in the old days maybe he’d still be “waiting for clearance from the big guys” to decide if “vinyl was a good investment…good idea…doing market research first”…instead….boy is FREE free freeeeeee to be as happy as he is in this little ole ADORABLE (did I mention that?) IG post!

SOOOOOO, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK??!!! AND HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU WATCHED THE VIDEOOOOOO?? 🙂

p.p.s.s.
I thought this tweet was appropriate for this post. 🙂

Today while giving high school students a tour of the Archives one asked what the microfilm reader was. He then realized "Oh, that's what people use in horror movies to find out the scary history of the town." WHAT. A. HOT. TAKE.

Sorry, couldn’t resist 😆 😆 😆

.

With all the excitement and amazingness of the Pacific Northwest leg of David’s tour, I forgot to actually post my Olympia videos here. AND THEY ARE AWESOME IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF!

Not because my videos are awesome but because that whole show was something special. It happened a mere couple of hours after David’s, ahem, revelatory insta post and I don’t know if that freed him up to let loose and be especially amazing but that’s what happened. Plus, the crowd was so enthusiastic and loving and he just fed off of that. PLUS, maybe some of the best acoustics I’ve ever experienced.

So for anyone who’s interested, please enjoy!!!

[in order of performance]

Spotlight Down… so much feeling… just remember what happened that afternoon

I’m Ready... the applause at the beginning was for David’s heartfelt introduction (which, of course, I didn’t record 😥 ) but it shows you how awesome the crowd was and how they showed him so much love. *sniff*

Thunder... I swear he rocked this even more than usual but it’s hard to tell because I was FEELING it! (Sorry for the cinema verité camera shakiness 🙂 )

Someone to Love… why oh why did I not leave the video running to catch David and Desmond and Jay nodding and thumbs-upping each other afterwards because they all felt how amazing this was! Soulful gahroovitude at its finest!

Other Things in Sight... same thing happened after this one… soooooooooo good!

Numb… SO much feeling, such an amazing song… wowed me all over again!

Intro to Beautiful... no shuffling, no rustling, just 100% rapt, mesmerized attention to every word. Amazing. (I am so sorry I didn’t get Scars but I love it too much and rock out too much to have been able to hold … well, anything… my arms were literally in the air like I just didn’t care… apologies!)

[EDIT… oh wait, the lovely Stephany caught it!!!!]

Greatest Showman Medley... everybody sang along, so cool

Postcards in the Sky… this song is life, I love it so…

Aiming for Hope... I openly sobbed all the way through this, I just hope you can’t hear it on the vid… heartbreakingly beautiful.

I Could Only Imagine… tears again… incredible… actual gasps from the crowd

Crush... and there was one… see next vid 🙂

Post Crush crush... love this!!!

(Note: Probably the lovely & amazing Shelley’s pic up top because she is lovely and amazing.)

p.s.
Dare you to find a thread better than this thread. 😆 😆 😆

You may have heard of “Beyoncercise” and “Rihannacise“… exercise classes inspired by those iconic singers’ moves… well, now we have… ARCHIECISE!

Let’s get you started on the latest fitness craze to hit the fandom since PX90!

Pull on that Invincible T-shirt, hydrate with Fiji water, and push play on those Groove Songs!

Move 1: The Boomerang

Grab one of your 18364380 copies of Postcards in the Sky, hold firmly with two hands and move through the air like you just don’t care.

Move 2: The Target

Find a wide-open space in your favourite department store, shoo away any actual shoppers, and stretch out your leg and torso muscles on the left, then the right. Beware carpet burns… and store security.

Move 3: The Hopscotch aka The So-Adorbs-It-Might-Just-Kill-You

.

Find yourself an oh-so-flattering yellow vest and some charming young folks and hop your way to total ArchuFitness! (Pro tip: Holding a cap in your hand improves balance.)

Move 4: The Point

I don’t know about you but I mumble the Lord’s name in every workout… usually just before I pass out. This move is perfect for stretching, warming up, cooling down or pointing out a spot on the ceiling where someone flung their gum. Do 10 reps of 5 each side… and if you’re really limber, try it with your feet.

Move 5: The Wind Tunnel

Head on over to your friendly neighbourhood wind turbine, stand in front of it and try not to be blown out into the ozone. Great core workout.

Move 6: The “Not a yes sir, not a follower…have a seat in the foyer, take a number”

Get your Thunder thighs in shape with these signature moves… and if you don’t know them by heart already after hitting replay on every Thunder video known to man, shoo, be gone, leave your fan card at the door. Pfffffft.

Move 7: The Plank

This is a tough one, designed to “kick your little booty,” to quote the man himself. (Cap and plaid shirt optional.)

Move 8: The “OMG I Can’t Believe He Just Did That!”

You need the perfect shoes for this one… and the graceful elegance of a gazelle. May the force be with you.

Move 9: The Signature Twirl

If you’re afraid of either parachutes or airplanes… or are an actual ballerina dancing on a wire… I’d avoid this move. If you do try it, keep away from stairs and airport lounges.

Move 10: The Up All Night

You will be up all night … in pain… if you don’t do some warmups before trying this advanced level move. Ideal for workout studios on groovy rooftops with a group of super friendly strangers.

Move 11: The Viking

Get your groove… and your viking helmet… on for this fun move targeting the gluteous maximus ….and minimus. Fling those hair flips to feel the burn… make sure there’s no one behind you.

Move 12: The Elevator

My personal favourite, eh. 🙂 Pretend you’re alone dancing in the elevator of life and just go with the flow till you’re feet are back on the grouuuuuund. A+ cardio.

Move 13: The “Kill Me Now With This Cuteness”

Great upper body workout, this move is simply 🤗🤗🤗. (If your cheeks hurt from smiling, ice every 20 minutes.)

Move 14: The Extreme Hunkerdown… like, right down

Yoga mat and knee pads required. Do NOT try this on a giant exercise ball.

Move 15:  The Salsa… TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

WARNING: For professional Archieciser Instructors or Advanced Trainees only! May cause muscle pulls, vertigo, alopecia, and severe concert withdrawal. YOU HAVE BEEN DULY WARNED!!!!

p.s.
Final Master Class
Try these moves… if you dare! 🙂
