Week(s) in Review - April 5 - April 18

Well, I didn't get a Sunday review done last week, so this one will be for the last two weeks. :)


April 5th was an acoustic show at The Mint and was a good one, from what I heard.  Christopher Hall of E! Entertainment posted a picture of Mark and Chelsie at the show, which I posted here

Also on that page is a picture Mark posted of him and the other musicians from the April 6th DWTS result show. Mark played Flamingo guitar with two other musicians while Derek and Chelsie danced a Paso Doble.  It was a wonderful performance.  I posted a video and screencaps.

On April 7th, we got a blog from Mark at Hollyscoop.  They claimed that Mark would blog every week, even though he was out of the competition, but we have yet to get a blog for week 4 of DWTS.  The blog posted on April 7th was for week 3 (even though it says week 2 in the blog). I'll be keeping a lookout for an update to Mark's blog; hopefully he updates it this week. :)

On April 8th, Mark tweeted that it was the first day off the crutches. :) Gettin' better! 

On April 11th, Mark was a guest on the Reality Cares radio show.  It is an hour long show.  Mark talked about DWTS, his music, his uncle's suicide, and the AFSP. http://latalkradio.com/images/Reality-041110.mp3

ChicaGirl magazine tweeted that they were going to interview Mark at his big show on April 12th.  According to their website, the interview will be available in Issue 11.  I'll post a link when it is available to read. :)

April 12th, Mark did a Twitterview or Twinterview (call it what you want) with Wonderwall MSN.  I posted the transcript of the interview here.

Also on April 12th, Mark posted a great pic of him and his dad, that I totally forgot to post on the blog:

The Mint show on April 12th was a sold-out, full band show.  It was treated as his album release party, red carpet and all.  The event was called "An Evening with Mark Ballas".  Check out this post for some pictures from the event.  Mark also posted a pic of the stage from one of the rehearsals for the big Mint performance, found in this post - which also contains pics of Mark's Vibe kids.  They performed on DWTS on April 13th.

Check out the Vibe dance team's performance from April 13th here.  There is also some footage of the kids rehearsing with Mark in this video (screencaps here as well).

On Friday, April 9th, E! posted an article with quotes from Mark stating that his knee needed a twitter account and then this weekend (April 16th), his knee began twittering (MBallasKnee). And then the other body parts started showing up to the party.  His shoulder is tweeting (MBLeftShoulder), as well as Cheryl's ring and various body parts belong to Derek Hough (Hair, Abs). Be sure to check them out, it's pretty hilarious. :)  Mark has been chatting with his knee and shoulder this weekend, which has been rather humorous. :)  It all started with Evan's Toe though. ;)

Mark has been posting a few pictures of his knee over the past week. I think he's getting bored not being able to dance. ;)

Mark says "Hot Wire my Heart" is the name of a new song...but right now it seems like it's "hot wire my knee"

Doing exercises to get strong again:

The knee got to wear some new jeans:

Since Derek's hair started tweeting as well, the knee and hair decided to post a picture together:

I think the pain killers have made Marky a little loopy. =P


Well, I think that about wraps it up for the past two weeks.  Here are some tweets that are notable from the past couple weeks. :)
