Here’s a fun news article from the Denver Post.
Eager young cast cheering on Fox’s super-promoted new musical, “Glee”

Gleek Tour DenverSo far, on their 10-city promotional tour for Fox’s “Glee,” the show’s cast has lost sleep, geographic bearings — and more than a few belongings.

Cory Monteith, who plays hunky but naive Finn, lost his Kindle.
Amber Riley, who plays larger-than-life Mercedes, lost her bank card.
Dianna Agron, who is deliciously nasty as head cheerleader Quinn, lost her camera.
And Jenna Ushkowitz, who plays an angry Goth named Tina Cohen-Chang, lost her Nintendo DS.

They’re not irresponsible high-schoolers. They just play them on TV.

Seven “Glee” cast members passed through Denver briefly last week, greeting fans at a mall and talking up the show for the local Fox outlet.

They’re due to be in Australia for the series’ premiere two weeks after its debut here. Clearly the marketing whirl is new to most of them. They are just beginning to understand that the amount of energy and money Fox is putting into the launch of this show is something special. Never has a network groomed a hit so intently.

At lunch in Denver they discussed how they are like and unlike their characters, what music they listen to, the genius of the show’s creator Ryan Murphy (“Nip/Tuck,” “Popular”) and how they replay certain of castmate Jane Lynch’s on-screen facial expressions admiring her comic acting.

The Gleek Tour – 8th Stop: Dallas

Today, the cast stops in Texas for a second time, this time in Dallas. The cast will be at the Dallas Galleria mall and will be doing the usual signing and Q&A. This morning Cory Monteith, Kevin McHale and Amber Riley were on Kidd Kraddick, a local radio show. Check out these pictures from KiddNation.com and then check out the audio (parts 1 & 2) below which you can also listen to here on KiddLive.com. I would have to say that this one has been my favorite radio interview the cast has done yet. Enjoy!

Also, Chris Colfer, Dianna Agron and Mark Salling stopped by the Fox 4 studio to be on Good Day Dallas. It’s interesting to learn that Mark Salling was originally from North Texas. :)

Here is a video that was on Good Day New York featuring Lea Michele and Cory Monteith. We will try to keep you updated as the day unfolds.


In possibly related new, Chris Colfer told me: “Well, right now I’m sitting on a window ledge hoping the glass I’m leaning on doesn’t break. Is that blog worthy?” XD
