chicago 2016 olympics w/ “american idol” david cook

 

if  you follow me on twitter, you can get in on all my “behind the scenes” experiences as they are happening. like the time i told you all on twitter that i was about to interview david cook from “american idol” before his big dinner at sunda, and you all hit me w/ hundreds of tweets back wanting me to ask him specific questions! well, as promised, i gladly asked him some of them here for you….enjoy!  

oh, and i thought since i am launching one celebrity interview here a day until i land in copenhagen on oct 2nd to see if chicago/usa wins the honor of being the host of the 2016 olympics, that it would be particularly great to release this one today since ryan seacrest texted me that he is in town casting for the next “american idol” today! you know you have that one friend that needs to know about these auditions! that and it only helps chicago (and the entire usa in general) if you spread the news about these celebrity endorsements to help get the olympics back in our home country…..so spread www.achicagothing.com anyway you can!

chicago 2016 olympics w/ grammy nominated busta rhymes

busta rhymes is one of my favorite rappers….has been since the 90s….so it was a dream come true to have him perform live at my aChicagoThing blog launch party while nick cannon dj’ed and a packed room of chicago’s movers and shakers went bananas! 

he is a big fan of chicago and our rap talent, even picked up chicago management (whatup jon jon!), but what really struck me was his american pride and determination in improving our outlook to the rest of the word….that and his ability to stand in the middle of our room with a mic and freestyle with no music making the crowd go crazy…..enjoy! 

remember all, how can you show your love for the chi (& the usa as a whole)? take one minute today to tell all your friends and contact by email, twitter, facebook, phone calls, whatever….& ask all to listen to these wonderful personalities share their stories so the rest of the world knows how great our city (& country) is and how we want to share & strengthen friendships with the rest of our world! don’t forget, i am posting one new celeb interview per day here until the oct 2nd announcement that chicago (& the usa) will be the home of the 2016 olympics! so keep checking out who’s next! thx and….best of luck to all!

chicago 2016 olympics w/ nbc’s “tonight show” andy richter

 

i have been watching conan o’brien since the first day they came on back in the day! and andy, always just cracked me up…totally makes sense that he is a product of the whole improv, second city, columbia college….chicago phenomenon. glad to see he still supports his favorite town that made a huge impact on his life and career….enjoy!
