Merrieeee, I am glad you checked in. That is so awesome regarding the celebration of Emily’s life. It is gratifying knowing that she touched so many people. Know that you’re still in my thoughts, and give it time. Grieve in your own way. We will be here for you.

Well, we are Claymates…

The Washington Blade has a photo album from the Gala. One good picture of Clay.

About the event: Equality PAC Pride Gala, Washington, DC. This Instagram Post has some short videos of Clay. Love the purple suit.

Clay was out and about last night, emceeing an event. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10226822799894991&set=pcb.10226823046261150

Jmh is our “behind the scenes” guru at the board, and she says that changing colors on the board isn’t quite as feasible as it used to be. Having said that, this isn’t a bad combo. I’ll have to talk with her about this more though, as I may have to limit myself to certain colors for banners. For those wanting information on the National Inclusion Project, it’s here. Would love to try to go, as I haven’t been to a Gala in several years. However, my husband and I are still trying to dig ourselves out of some debt when he didn’t have a job. (Yeah, so I did buy a couple of M&G’s during the tour. Sue me.)

According to my records, there's two new shows added to rubenandclay.com Tuesday, October 24, Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts, Springfield, MO Monday, November 6, Portland'5 Centers for the Arts, Portland, OR

I finally finished the podcast over the weekend, and the Marion jokes make sense now! I really enjoyed the entire podcast -- but you know me, I just like hearing him talk. This is cute.

No — Marion is actually further for me than the St. Charles show (Illinois is a LONG state), plus the Marion show is on a school night. I don’t get the rest of your comment — is that because I haven’t listened to the whole interview yet? I did start the interview in the middle (when I stopped scanning, Clay was talking about him being on Idol in a year when it was still so new). I’m hoping to listen to the entire interview over the rest of the weekend. Loved the camaraderie between the three of them, and how Jeremy Miller was fanboying out, along with his mentioning the National Inclusion Project. I do wonder how Clay got involved with these two — seems rather random, but hey, it worked, and we learned some new stuff about Clay in the process. Mik — girl, you need to learn how to TRAVEL. So many of us got to know each other by just going “what the hell, I’m going to fly to North Carolina” or “what the hell, I’m going to drive 5-6 hours to see our boyfriend.” Yes, we all had commitments in our lives, and many of us (thankfully) had supportive husbands/significant others. But it was that “what the hell” aspect of it that helped us along the way. (I do think that spirit has lessed somewhat for more than a few of us though — we’re getting ANCIENT! 😂)

On now. although I'm not listening at the moment. https://www.youtube.com/live/OBvEkCrUuDA?feature=share
