Recommended Posts

From the CV pre-WJ cellstream:

1759 tickets available to buy (box office told reporter)

configured for 7,000 people....

math sold 5,400 tickets

"Just browsing at the CB and a poster mentioned during today's soundcheck when Clay did the intros for the crew, he said Gregory's name. That would be great for Gregory to return for the home state crowd. "

The venue tonight is where Clay went to see the Bobcats basketball game the other night, so it is also a sports arena.

Hey, Ansa, and waves to anybody else who drops in tonight. Join in and chat with us even if you're not on stream!

I'm just relaxing and boppin' along to WJ, as he starts into Clay's favorite, Homeward Bound. (Particularly relevant tonight, huh? Raleigh is pretty close now...)

Anyway, an off-topic whine. Pointy-toed boots with a three inch heel may look great, but boy can they make your back and ankles ache by the end of the work day. I am so ready to have a nice young man in a white suit sing pretty for me.

Did you see pictures from last night of Quiana's new hair style? She looks so cute!

William Joseph is done already - his set seemed to be somewhat shorter tonight, and the banter was abbreviated. He got a standing ovation.

Some M&Gers from last night also got the impression also that Gregory will be there tonight.

A large crowd - diverse ages - lots of men and kids.

Cellceert! Cellcert! Cellcert! Where's the damn CH Cellcert?

Nevermind - got it on the 4th try.

Well Fear dragged her husband - funny thing he called me 3 days ago and asked me what Clay thing he could buy for his wife. Needless to say, I said it was too late. Shhhh.

Hee. The Clay Nation is out in force to prevent flashes. Tape and signs. Just give us a little direction Clay, and we are a force to be reckoned with...... B)

Smutting about William Joseph now - the cellcerter is a little smitten.....

Security guys lined up in front of the stage.

Christmastime, and the "Rejoice" is held for, oh, five or six minutes, at least. :P

MCWL - it might just be my stream, but I'm hearing some nice low notes in this version.

I bet Gregory's entrance gets a big response tonught...

Cell cert going in and out. I may call my sister for a personal cellcert.

Ah Merry Christmas with Love.

He is sounding in good voice.

Is anyone here not getting a cellcert or cellstream?

Oh yeah, Gregory will get a huge response - just under a standing ovation, I expect.

ETA I will pass on that message, Bottlecap. I figured I would call her at intermission and see how her hubby is enjoyingthe show. Now no telling her she is getting a clay present now. .

Just hear those Sleigh Bells rings! Clay sounds so wonderful. Its such a treat to hear his voice coming through this way. I wish I could tell him how much I've appreciated him putting so much joy in my Holiday season with his beautiful Christmas show!

Jingle Bells! I'll never think of this song the same way again - Clay can take a simple song like Jingle Bells and make it exciting! His voice is just soaring tonight. I bet he's really happy to have Gregory healthy and back on stage!

Clay sounds very peppy tonight - I swear I can hear the smile in his voice. Having Gregory back must reduce the stress level considerably.

Also, Raleigh is in right there in the headlights... Think Clay still bounces around in the front seat of the bus on the way back into town?
