Elliot Yamin wants me to run away with him... but his timing is all off. After the hubby came through with such a great date, how could I even consider? (Now Elliot, you come around when I've had a day of nothing but diaper changes, ...

Oh, fine. He didn't want me to run away with him. He didn't even ask.

When he came up on stage, he had a "polite", respectful audience. I was close enough to see the subtle glances to his band members... "Ok, this is going to be a long set", but by the end of his second song, people now knew what they were in for and were in to it. The floor was vibrating with the foot tapping ( I can't stop my leg!) from behind me, teeny's in front of me were holding up signs "I HEART Elliott!" (put that down, can't you see I am trying to take a few hundred pictures here?)

I realized how long it's been since I've seen a live concert (um, I think it was Billy Squire, or Billy Idol... they were both in the same year--wait, it could've been Journey with opener, Bryan Adams) when the girls up front didn't pull out their lighters and sway to the music... they used their mobile phones! What a strange, new world I've been (not) sleeping through.


And speaking of "swaying",
See who is singing behind Elliot? Any American Idol season six people out there?

It was a great show (and he was polite enough to suffer through all of our "Idol" worship while probably suffering jet lag).


Never give your camera to someone shorter than you, the angle is not the most flattering...

:awe: :awe: :awe:

so hoping for some reports on the USO tour, what lovely reports
I love the Mr Yamin this and Mr Yamin that in the article, so respectful and
charming, love the reporter.
I had a lovely Valenties day with my own sweetie, flowers, a concert last night and now these reports, :thud:
Love that he remembered Jaime, what a doll...

Should we expect anything less from our boy? He will always touch hearts, no matter where he goes. There is just something about being in his presence that generates warmth and sincerity.

We have all been on this ride since the beginning and it is so wonderful to see him sharing his talent with the rest of the world!!!

A very proud Etrain Nana!!!

aww - must be hard for him to be away from his Valentine!

Thanks for finding and posting that HW. How touching....made me tear up too. I'm glad he got to go to the school and talk to the kids. He's a great ambassador for our country.

Thanks everyone-- Now I know you won't be upset that for the next YEAR or so, you'll be seeing pictures and hearing his tunes on my blog. I was SO impressed by this guy-- he was nice and the humility, wow. He just kept thanking our troops. I love people who support our troops!
USO= United Service Organizations. They make sure that the troops traveling have a place to rest in airports, bring entertainment to these guys and gals out in the middle of nowhere. The Husband met Brian Dennehy while in Iraq. Thanks for the comments!

awe Elliott looks so cute...I miss him....sniff sniff

Thanks for the find!

Thanks for the links. Those blogs and pictures are making me smile and cry at the same time. I'm so proud of Elliott and his band for entertaining our troops and their families. I'm happy that the audience appreciated it.

Elliott has now visited a Naval base and an Air Force base. I wonder if he will visit an Army base on this USO tour.

Can't wait for more blogs with recaps and pictures. :elliottcap2:

Only one more reason, to add to the long list of why we love him so;) How wonderful!!
