Quote: The Rock ‘n’ Roll Philadelphia Half Marathon announced today that American Idol star Haley Reinhart will headline the finish line concert on Sunday, September 16, following the 13.1 mile block party taking place throughout the streets of Philadelphia. Cobra Starship, who was originally slated to play, canceled due to a scheduling conflict.

Quote:Reinhart took third place on Season 10 of the hit talent show, singing her way into fans’ hearts with her smoky voice. Now, the 21–year-old is embarking on her own, and recently moved from her hometown in Illinois to Los Angeles to record her debut album. Listen Up! is a ten-track fusion of pop, R&B, rock and roll, and soul that’s both timeless and irresistibly fresh. After spending last summer on the American Idols LIVE! Tour, Haley is ready to rock the crowds live on stage at Rock ‘n’ Roll Philadelphia.

“Haley certainly earned her popularity on the show and we’re excited to see her perform live,” said Gary Rice, Entertainment Director of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series. “Her upbeat sound will keep runners energized as they celebrate their 13.1 mile accomplishment with friends and family in a beautiful setting like Eakins Oval in Fairmount Park.”

...Race day concludes with a finish line festival just in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art where participants join family and friends to kick back, relax and enjoy the sounds of Haley Reinhart.

Quote:After winning hearts on Season 10 American Idol, Haley Reinhart is on a mission to make her mark on the music world. Reinhart (who placed third on American Idol) moved from her hometown of Wheeling, Illinois, to Los Angeles and began furiously crafting the songs that would eventually grace her debut. The result is Listen Up! a ten-track fusion of pop, R&B, rock and roll, and soul. The album debuted on the Billboard Top 200 at #16, reaching the #2 Pop Album spot on iTunes and her new single “Free” is quickly becoming a mainstream hit.

Celebrate your accomplishment with friends and family at this FREE post-race concert!

Quote:As of Monday, ASAP has sold 610 of the 8,000 tickets available for its RamJam concert and is set to lose $62,000 — even if the other 7,390 tickets are sold.

That comes out to $2.40 lost per CSU student.

Last year’s RamJam event, with B.o.B and Sean Kingston, sold 5,241 tickets to generate $47,817 in revenue. The show’s budget was $172,000, which meant it lost ASAP $124,183. That’s about $4.80 per CSU student.

Students pay a $9.21 per semester in fees to ASAP, which provides the event-planning organization with about $442,000 this year. The organization also has a commitment to the Student Fee Review Board to generate an additional $50,000 in revenue per year, bringing the total yearly budget to just under $500,000.

ASAP officials are optimistic, however, that sales will increase as the Sept. 15 Cobra Starship and Breathe Carolina shows draw closer.

...“Booking is definitely an art,” said Heather Starbuck, the director of Program Council, a CU–Boulder organization that provides entertainment to CU students. “You want to hit that sweet spot where you book an up-and-coming act that’s gotten big when they finally do your show.”

...According to students the buzz around RamJam this year hasn’t been the same as years before.

“Last year [RamJam] was a big deal. I heard about it everywhere, but haven’t seen anything this year,” said junior equine science major Talon Speaect.

...As for the choice of entertainers at RamJam, ASAP Executive Director Heather Jones said lining up the right act at the right time can be tricky. She said in some cases performers don’t even want to do shows on college campuses.

Part of this year’s selection came about as the results of surveys and focus groups ASAP conducted on campus. The results said students showed an interest in acts different than the hip-hop shows which have been prevalent in the past.

Who is Haley Reinhart?

So, apparently this weekend, I have a hot date with Haley Reinhart...only problem is, I've never heard of her!

Oh, I should probably mention that she's the headliner at the Philadelphia Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon, taking place this Sunday, September 16th. At least the race website tells me so.

So, yes, the Philly Half. A race I will be running, not watching, this year. Last year, I was coming off of one of the worst illnesses of my life and was unable to complete my training and had to sell my bib. This year, it's on.

I'm a little nervous...my longest run in recent weeks has been 10 hilly miles...I did a good amount of running on Saturday and Sunday, but my legs were feeling it from all the hills I've been putting in, so I didn't cover as much distance as I would have liked. Here's hoping all that "Philly is Phlat" talk I've been hearing holds true!!!

All I know is Haley=finished, so it will probably be the happiest I've ever been to see someone I've never heard of.
