I've talked to you guys before about A Great Big World. It started out as Ian and Chad and then they made a band and iKeith and I sang with them at the Double Encore Holiday Bash!
Well....I have exciting news.
Their song...This is the New Year is going to be on GLEE tonight. As in GLEE is going to perform and dance to it.
Here....I'll let Ian and Chad tell you about how this came to be!
I'm so very excited to watch GLEE tonight and so incredibly proud of my friends Ian and Chad.

I Was Born to be a Rockstar
I went with the spanx that looked like a giant onesie. I decided taking my dress off to use the restroom was a pain and I didn't want to deal with that. Then I discovered that reconnecting the two pieces of material requires a headlamp and cirque du soleil moves. As my luck would have it...I have moves like jagger.
I also didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to feel my feet and sneezing would cause permanent nerve damage. Why don't these things come with warning labels?
This post isn't really about spanx. Wearing that contraption was just a small part of my transformation yesterday. It's not a coïncidence that I chose a nail polish called Fishnet Stockings either. I had a feeling that something wondrous was going to happen to me and I had to look the part.
The party was inside a large hanger at the Wings Over The Rockies Airplane Museum. There were airplanes and jets surrounding us and it made for a bit of an eerie atmosphere. It was a very unique place to have a cocktail party with a live band!
Soon after we arrived, Keith's boss found me and told me that he had shared the whole story with Ian. I asked if I should be worried and if there was added security because of me. He said, no and that he was going to bring Ian over to meet me.
He hugged me after Dan introduced us and I felt weak in the knees! We talked for a while about his music and how he and Chad came to decide to form a group together. I told him what his music means to me and that my kids love it and sing his songs all the time.
I was so excited when they started to play for the group! I stood right in the front and sang along. And I danced. I danced like no one was watching and I was the only one in the room. For this short amount of time, I wasn't someone's mom....I was a groupie and I enjoyed every moment!
They announced the next song was the last one and they asked me to come sing with them. This was the moment when I was thankful that I hadn't thrown my spanx on the stage because how awkward would THAT have been? Plus...someone would have had to cut me out of them.
I took my spot next to Chad and he asked me if I could sing. I told him I sing a little in the car and that he should have asked me that before he called me up! I sang. I sang like I didn't know the words and like no one was watching. Keith ran up at the end and joined us! It was such an amazing moment and I'll never forget it.
I know I professed myundying love appreciation for Dan (Keith's boss) last night but I just want to say again...Thank you! I think you must be my fairy godfather because you've helped make so many of my families dreams come true.
Ah ha ha....I was born to be a rockstar!
I woke up this morning with memories of a great evening and so happy to be back to my regular life. It's a great life and my kids think it's pretty cool that their Mom sang with Ian and Chad.

I Really Want It Right Now
I wrote most of this post before I went on my trip and then forgot to post it. Little did I know that there was a VERY good reason for this. You'll have to read to the end to find out why.
You may recall a few weeks ago I told you that Ian Axel had joined forces with his friend Chad and they formed A Great Big World.
Their album droppedyesterday on October 30th and it's fantastic! Just six songs and for sale on iTunes for just $5.94, I think you'll enjoy it as much as I do.
I know you're dying to know....my favorite song is Rockstar. Each time I listen to it I think about my kiddos and the fantastic futures they have in front of them. I love uplifting and positive music and this fits the bill!
Side note: After listening to the album 5000 times, my new favorite song is I Really Want It.
Thank you Ian and Chad for a great album. And come on already!!! Come to Denver!
So that is the post I wrote a month ago. Early Sunday morning, I opened an email from my husband that had been sent the night before while I was fast asleep. It was the invitation to the Double Encore Holiday Party. I've been waiting for this invitation for weeks to discover where it would be this year and to know the time so I could finalize my babysitter.
Imagine my surprise and delight to discover that A GREAT BIG WORLD is playing the holiday party.
I started jumping up and down and silently cheering because it was 5:30am and my kids were asleep. And then I started to cry. Have you ever cried because you were so happy and excited about something?
So...this Saturday night, I'll be with Ian and Chad and listening to their music in person!

A Great Big World
Do you remember me talking about Ian Axel? His music really touches me and I stood 10 feet away from him when he played a private concert for Double Encore in November 2010. If I'd realized then, that I was going to absolutely fall in love with his music.....I would have been all over him like stink on a monkey.
His song called We Are, touched me so much, it still makes me cry when I hear it. It was the song I played over and over when we were trying to get our son into school, and I even made a video of my precious kids with it. My son sings it all the time.
Someday, I hope to introduce my kids to Ian Axel. They love his music as much as I do.
Well....Ian has had some help along the way. His best friend Chad Vaccarino sings on many of his tracks and they have decided that they are going to partner up.
This means they are changing their name to A Great Big World.
I adore their music so much and I think you will too! Check it out!
