Don't listen to Simon. :)

Awesome, best of luck! Let us know how it goes.

LOLOL!!! Simon.....i think i could even make HIM smile!
Man......had trouble sleeping. Had to get up to PEE every dang hour! Finally gave up and came here.
I'll let you all know how it goes today!

---

Well.....figured I'd follow up and let you all know how it turned out. Trippster showed up to watch me "live, and in person".

It didn't turn out as i planned..............in other words..............


I WON!!!!!
Thats right, FIRST PLACE!!!
A friend I met at last year's Idol competition showed up, and he told me he recorded it and will post it on youtube by tomorrow night. He had to leave before the end, so he didn't get the awards presentation.
But man........was it FUN! I wasn't nearly as scared as last year. (I was still VERY nervous, but had so much fun on stage!)
My wife dressed me up and picked the song for me, and off i went!
Now i have to sing at a "Summer Sounds" concert in Cedarburg in the next couple of weeks. And one of the judges is doing a gig at the "Milwaukee Ale House" in Grafton on the 14th, and wants me to come by and sing with him. So i might try to fit that in too.

I have been hanging around at the end of the bench... Waiting...

I FRICKEN KNEW IT ALAN! A Perfect Game!

I am VERY proud of you! I can not wait to see the video?

Whooo Hooo!

HEY RICK!!!
I just realized.......I have to sing the national anthem at a Milwaukee Brewers game........got any motivational speches for that??? (I thought i was nervous today......in front of ALL those PEOPLE!?!?) My history was being raised as a J.W.........so i didn't get to sing it when i was young......you know, when memorizing was easy? So my wife wants to hire you to hold the smelling salts so when i pass out......but i don't know when that will be, so why sweat it, hey???
And THANKS for the support!
My friend emailed me, he tried to put on the video, but had some problems with youtube. But he said he will keep trying, and will get it done as soon as he can.
My wife appreciates your thoughtfullness and belief in me!

Alan,

I NEED ANSWERS....

How many people were there?

Who finished second? Was it the other guy... or a girl?

What exactly did you win for coming in first? A trophy? Cash? Or God forbid, all of the Wisconsin Cheese you can eat for one year?

Does this move you into a State Competition?

Final Advice... Do not let this go to your head... Singers always get laid easy! You Be Faithful to Mrs. Cheesey young man!

Wow, that is pretty damn awesome! If you can win the competition, you ought to be able to do this without any problems, Cheesey. No reason to be nervous, at all!
