From the CV stream: The venue is beautiful - very ornate. A very large orchestra - in tuxedos. The theater is packed to the rafters (holds 2,100). Diane Bubel, Jaymes, Kristy, and Nick are all there (party at Casa Clay, I bet.) No sighting of Faye or other family members yet - Greensboro may be closer to Raleigh.

The orchestra's first number is Winter Wonderland. Of all the Christmas music, they do a song that the featured artist is going to be singing later? Odd.

8:36 and the intermission has started.

According to the certer, the conductor was very funny. He said they had a great time with Clay this afternoon, and that "Clay was hot stuff."

To enthusiastic applause - "Don't peak too early."

"Maybe we can have Charlotte SymphonyMates."

[Ansamcw]

From CB:

THE CONDUCTOR IS A COMEDIAN!! GETTING LOTS OF LAUGHS DURING HIS SONG INTRODUCTIONS!

THIS ORCHESTRA WAS GREAT!!!

STANDING O....

THEY ARE DONE NOW....INTERMISSION

THE CONDUCTER SAID HE HAD A GREAT TIME TODAY WITH CLAY AND THAT CLAY WAS HOT STUFF!

Orchestra conductor was hilarious. He said maybe they'll have Charlotte Symphony mates. Was very personable. Certer said Clay may have met his match. The conductor said that they had a great time in rehearsal today.

The certer can get a small glimpse of Clay backstage - dark suit, she thinks. They've brought out the stool.

CW

We're thinking the certer said Clay danced out onto the stage, but not positive.

So, Clay danced with his mom in Norfolk. Think he'll dance with one of his women tonight? Heads explode...

[Ansamcw]

From Cb:

[playbiller]

looks like no CH tonight.

CV is a bit fuddled - how spoiled I have gotten.

[Ansamcw]

YAY finally the CH is on...good reception so far.



He sounded really good for TFN...

the banter is not really clear

oops we lost it I think

[playbiller]

They are being busted -
The problem with the CV people is htat they are enthusiastic fans and really laugh into the phone - it hurts my ears. They are good people, but louder than Clay.

Is the CH back up yet?

[ldyjocelyn]

CH cellstream back up!

I never did get the CV cellstream to work after WMP was updated on my machine...

MCWL...and it's coming in pretty darn good.

[playbiller]

From CB

Binocular Banter. How much for seats $50.00. She's looking up my nose! No looking at my crotch with your binoculars.

That's funny talking to the men in the audience - they might be afraid someone from the ofice miight see them there.

[ldyjocelyn]

The CH cellstream keeps buffering. When it comes in, it sounds great -- but it's so intermittent, I'm not sure if I can take it.

He's doing HYAMLC at the moment.

He seems to be doing a LOT of vocal changeups this evening. Is it because he's feeling loose in his home state? (Have at that muski...) Or is he having problems vocally? Inquiring minds want to know....

SR...this should be fun.

[Ansamcw]

From Cv:

House Lights up --

never been here before, driven by -- very nice... everyone looks fine
how many men -- raise your hands, don't be ashamed...
no one from work is here ...

Alex? where do you work -- hardware... looking for someone else who works in hardware... something cigar shop... no one else from there is here... you're safe -- only guy in the front row

It's Gibson-girls's dad -- with his daughter -- he was her driver Oh! she must be thrilled -- he's taking to her !!! she Encouraged him to drive -- she's got to be over the moon !!

[Claygasm]

Any stubble reports???

Any clack nazi reports?

[ldyjocelyn]

Talking now about having vertigo...he hit his head, "maybe it knocked some sense into me."

Word of the Day banter at the moment...

Special guest for the word of the day -- Jaymes Foster. Hee.

I couldn't hear the word, though...

[playbiller]

Why are they giving Jaymes a round of applause? Was he testing her music knowledge - hee

[Ansamcw]

Jaymes brought out the word of the day...he just said the EP of the 2nd worse album of the year...

AWWWW...
