Quick update, 9/6 (updated)*

By request, a few photos from Bucky's much-loved "Fat Bottomed Girls" performance on Idol--screencap by Rickey of Rickey.org. Thanks!

(Edited to add a link to a thread to watch at the Fox boards--somehow, a post titled "Bucky said he will have a single out by early next year" is hard to resist following, isn't it? The quote comes from a partygoer at Herman's last night; there might be a little more info there by the time you read this. Looking forward to hearing Bucky on the radio, no matter when it happens...)

Bucky and company have the day off today, thank goodness--sounds like last night was a wild time! Tomorrow, the tour stops in Texas for the first of four shows in the Lone Star State; you can try your hand at Ticketmaster for Thursday's Grand Prairie concert. Here's hoping you can cheer for Bucky from a fantastic seat right up front.

The Denver papers have already posted reviews of last night's concert--here's a generally favorable one from the Rocky Mountain News, and a snarkier take from the Denver Post, though the reviewer there shares my fondness for "Patience". (And hey, Colorado is one of the most beautifulest places in the USA! Bucky spoke the truth...)

Over at Idolforums, a few small but cute photos from the Pittsburgh concert were shared by a kind poster there--she got a few snaps by the fence before the show, as well as some nice stage photos. And if you're looking for Denver memories, stay tuned to Bucky's folder at the Fox boards...at least two of the devoted Bucky fans there went to last night's show, and their recaps are sure to be a joy to read! (Edited to add a link to the LMBO thread there, where a fan of Taylor's stopped in to share her Herman's impressions, including a conversation with Bucky.)

Oddly enough, there's very little Denver news posted at the Idol Concert Series 2006 folder as of this post...maybe everyone's sleeping in after that party at Herman's? However, a there's a freshly-posted and fun review from the LMBO show from a witty commenter at MJ's Big Blog--she has some nice things to say about Bucky. (Sounds like he was mainly there to cheer his buddies on; she mentioned that she didn't think he did any singing. And she didn't see Kat, but Bobby Bennett was definitely in attendance. Ace got some major hometown love--wish we'd been there!)

I'll close now, but there's likely to be much more in the way of Denver memories, so I'll probably see you very soon for an update. Have a great Wednesday!
