David Cook Day, Parade and Concert in KC?

With Jason choaking and forgetting the words last night on American Idol, it looks as though KC native David Cook has a pretty good chance of making it into the final three contestants, if not the final two. David sang 'Hungry Like a Wolf' ala Duran Duran and 'Baba O'Riley' last night with decent praise from Randy, Paula Crazy and Simon.

Friday, May 9th is 'David Cook Day' in Blue Springs with a parade, official visits, and a free concert (tickets are already sold out, duh).

According to myfoxkc.com

Parade & Concert Schedule:
3:00 p.m. - parade starts at Stewart Title Co. at 700 NE Mize Road.
Parade route: south for three or four blocks across 40 Highway to Blue Springs South High School
3:30 p.m. - rally and concert in the Blue Springs South High School football stadium
4:45 p.m. - concert ends

Cook is also reported to have a noon concert, but the locale has not been disclosed as of today.

Is it weird that all this hoopla is happening and he hasn't been voted off yet? Are the other Idol's doing the same in their hometown's?
