Blake Lewis returned home to Seattle for a busy day around town before heading back to Hollywood for the American Idol semifinals. I managed to get a couple of pictures and videos on my phone. A bunch of the pictures turned out well but the videos are questionable. I may post more pictures and the videos later. I have a number of pictures from the Bothell appearance as well from my real camera that are much better that will be on my next post.

The lame Seattle Mayor didn’t show up so a council member had to read the proclamation that May 11 is Blake Lewis Day in Seattle.

While it’s nice to see American Idol performances, there is so much that Blake does well that he can’t do on the show. He performed with all his equipment, with his band and with guest performers. One of the highlights was when Blake’s beatboxing accompanied Sir Mix-A-Lot while he sang Baby Got Back. Blake also performed with Patrick Monahan of Train and with the great Seattle band, Common Market.

Speaking of American Idol, their voting system sucks.  Read my previous post where I introduced my voting reform petition, or just sign the petition here.
