Live and lively in Denver...

Ace Young's homecoming concert in Denver tonight is bound to be a blast! You can catch a play-by-play of the Idol concert courtesy of the generous posters at Keeping the Boogie Alive and at the Gold Lounge on the official boards; word is that either or both boards will be doing a PBP of the LMBO show, as well. Bucky, Ace and Elliott are all expected to be there with Taylor and his once-and-future band--should be an exciting night for Denver music lovers. Here's the Herman's Hideaway link yet again, in case you're in the area--and via the Fox boards, here's an interesting rumor about tonight's afterparty:

I got word today that there will be a very special guest that has never sang with LiMBO before.... Sounds very exciting.

Yep, better put that pot of coffee on! (My guess? Maybe the whole Idol Rat Pack, including the intense-rocker member, will be there tonight...or perhaps Bucky's duet partner is filling in for Shirley MacLaine?)

And while you're waiting for the show to begin, why not help a creative IDF poster with some expert Bucky trivia? A fan is doing a "Scene It" style DVD game as a gift for the girls, and needs an obscure fact or two about Bucky. If you know something that'd stump the trivia competition, feel free to share.

Over at the official boards, the fans are looking ahead to Bucky's first solo tour, in a practical (and fun) kind of way. Nope, it hasn't been scheduled yet--bet all the Idols would like some serious time off to recover from the Pop Tarts marathon!--but here's a "preview ticket" courtesy of Says-It.com, where you can have fun giving yourself the best seat in the house. (Sure wish Ticketmaster worked that way.)

While we're on the subject of graphics, there's a lovely new LJ icon waiting for you at Team Covington today...

Cellcert's happening now, so I'll close--check out the Denver comments thread at MJ's Big Blog for a quick and snarky look at what's happening tonight. Mandisa just dedicated "If I Was Your Woman" to Ace's brother Ryan. Sounds like a fun show already! More later...
