Happy 1 Year Since Rexburg!

So one year ago today, David performed at BYU in Rexburg, Idaho! In my opinion, this was probably one of his best shows ever! Remember this setlist?

1 – Touch My Hand

2 – Barriers

3 – A Little Too Not Over You

4 – Somebody Out There

5 – Not A Very Good Liar

6 – My Hands

7 – You Can

8 – Works For Me

9 – Don’t Let Go

10- Your Eyes Don’t Lie

11 – Parachutes and Airplanes

12 – Waiting for Yesterday

13 – To Be With You

14 – Zero Gravity

15 – Crush

16 – Imagine

17 – Be Still My Soul

That night, we got to hear David sing 2 new songs that we were told would potentially be on the album! Within the past year, Parachutes and Airplanes was added to his album and we got a studio version of Not A Very Good Liar.






And then, one of the most touching performances ever of Be Still My Soul:



One of the best nights of performances EVER!

So let's all just take a stroll down memory lane and remember the amazing cellcast that most of us listened to that night, and the excitement when hearing new music for the first time.

David gets lost in the clouds

David Archuleta Gets Lost in the Clouds

At the start of the new year, David Archuleta made a video blog for his fans talking about the new year and his resolutions. Amongst keeping up with the blogs and working harder on exercising, David threw in that he wanted to ride a blimp. Months went by, and as things became more complicated in David's career, a blimp ride was the least of everyone's thoughts.

This past St. Patrick's Day, David took to youtube with another video blog for his fans, and mentioned that the next day he would be going to California for a "fun thing". Many assumed he might have meant a blimp ride, but weren't certain. When the day came, David became more reticent, vaguely tweeting "Really excited for today!" Fans pondered what he could be so excited about, many guessing that he was finally going on a blimp ride.

A few hours later, David finally spilled the beans and announced that he did "one of the coolest things of his life", taking a Goodyear blimp for a joyride. He then tweeted thanking Goodyear for the invitation, and was obviously very appreciative of their offer. Fans too tweeted Goodyear thanking them for letting David take a ride, seeing how happy it made him to finally achieve his small, yet so meaningful new years wish.

It's obvious David's always loved being high off the ground, transporting upward in the air, in life or in mind. It's even more axiomatic in his music, with songs such as "Zero Gravity", "Elevator", "Parachutes And Airplanes", and an album titled The Other Side of Down. The Other Side of Down is indeed up, which is what all of those songs are about and where David always wants to be. So David's want to ride a blimp isn't too surprising considering the message he puts across in his songs.

Goodyear stated that they were happy to be a part of making David's wish come true, and his fans are happier than ever that David achieved his new years resolution and has gotten the chance to do something he's always wanted to do. In the end, the smile on his face makes everything worth it. 

Now what's next on the Archugenda? David tweeted recently that he misses riding a bike, so it seems that is David and his fan's next set goal!

Was wandering around youtube and found this. I thought it was really cool seeing the scenery with "Parachutes And Airplanes".

The Ultimate TOSOD Mug for St. Judes Hospital

For the longest time I've seen tons of David fans starting charity projects and helping out different foundations, and more recently I realized that I wanted to try and contribute as well. I went back forth about it, bouncing off different ideas, but none of them seem to stick. Finally my mom introduced me to the website Zazzle, where you can make all kinds of products and sell them. I know some fansites have even sold products on there before, so I thought this might be the perfect (and easiest) way to start my project.


I created this mug, with different images and lyrics to songs off of TOSOD, and decided that it would be the perfect item to sell for charity. I thought a mug would be a good idea, because, say for instance you're having guests over. You make coffee, and drink out of your TOSOD mug. Your guests notice the mug and ask you about it. There will surely be some interesting stories and some great TOSOD promo ;)





The mugs cost $14.95 each, and because of the way Zazzle works, I only get 16% of that, but a little is better than nothing right? And if lots of mugs sell, we could really raise a lot of money!




All the money (that I earn) from the mug will be donated to the St. Judes Foundation in David's name. Now why St. Judes? I know it's not one of the foundations David's been the most involved with, but this foundation is important to me, personally, being a childhood cancer survivor. I also saw this tweet of David's recently:

That, even more, made me want to give back to that foundation that helped me.

You can purchase a mug HERE, and be sure to email me at imaginearchie@yahoo.com with your name and how many mugs were purchased, so I can keep track. Maybe if lots sell I could compile a list to give to David!

Thanks everyone and spread the word!
