For the Idol Fans ~ An Oldie ~ James Durbin 5/14/2011 Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

Did I not give this post the longest title ever? Oh well, it almost describes everything.....
So, who is an American Idol fan? Gawd, I don't even know what season they're on. I quit watching this past season when Deandre was kicked off but I was glad to see Phillip win. Okay, back on subject.....remember when James was voted off just before the final three? He wasn't going to be able to have his hometown concert but they had made an exception for James because Santa Cruz had so much invested in it. I don't believe they aired it on AI but that's okay because we all had FUN! There is nothing quite like live music on the Boardwalk.

Do you SEE that dude on top of the roller coaster? The Big Dipper is a super awesome roller coaster but you wouldn't find me standing on top of it taking photos!

Ya, I know James isn't country but "metal" (I say this with quotations because I have his album and I would not describe it as metal) can be cool too.
