American Idol April 29, 2007 2:14 am

I brought home some goodies from the show! As a member of the Taylor Hicks Headquarters fan club, I was given a special ID card to wear at the concert. They were selling autographed copies of one of Taylor’s earlier albums ("In Your Time"), so I picked up one of those as well. For a while now, I’ve been talking with a new friend, Karen, who works with the Kid One Patrol of Soul group (or "KOPS"). KOPS is working on its second cookbook to raise money for one of Taylor’s favorite charities, Kid One Transport. I purchased the first cookbook last year…long before I met Karen. I’m working with Karen and KOPS now as they prepare to release their second cookbook, and I’d love it if everyone ordered one! Karen and I were finally able to meet face-to-face at the show, and she gave me a KOPS button to wear.

If you would like to learn more about Kid One, please visit their website. KOPS has a website as well. Cookbooks go on sale May 1st, and there are some exciting gifts to be won just by purchasing a cookbook. Please consider buying a cookbook (or two or twelve or eighty!)…they make great gifts and benefit an amazing charity. If you have a business and would like to advertise in the cookbook, please flickr mail me and I’ll get you the information you need.
