Yep -- definitely protistutin' for the chirrun. *g* $26,000. Amazing.... And YAY for video clack from this auction!

Did he say that he's gonna do 8 songs for the Christmas skating thing? And an auction to spend time with Clay rehearsing and such for this? Oh wow, another big bid thing.

No kidding! I want that kind of dough to buy this kind of stuff. What are they auctioning now? Is this the jacket from the Grammy's?

Oh. Mah. God. I want that LAA so badly. It's gonna go for a LOT. Next thread title: Protitutin' for the chirrun.

How many items were up for auction? In other words, how long is this going to take? I wanna hear Clay sing!!!!!!! (And I'm not a late night person, but I want to wait for the phone calls....) Wow, lots of screaming there....

Oh my. I think I like it. Not totally sure yet. I can hear him talking about friends on cellphones, but lost the conversation after that.

Yeah, I missed it too, but I did see the same thing CG did -- quick picture. Whoa, that's a beard. Cool.

While I would love to be able to hear what is being said.... I'm kinda hoping the general rule that seems to happen with most cellcerts will happen tonight -- bad reception talking, good reception singing. (During the holidays, didn't it seem it was either that, or else the other way around?) play, my Windows Media player says its Caperkeeper.

CV just switched over....but it is INCREDIBLY faint. Can't hear anything. play, I didn't watch the dotcert, so I can complain if I want. :medium-smiley-070:

I'd bid for that. Lots of money. LOTS of money. Are there any banks open on Saturday night? Oh wait, I could rob one....

I think this has only happened one other time with this person. I guess lightning does strike twice.

Oh dear....I LURVED the Leno look. Might as well practice this right now.... THUD! (What? We don't have a thud emoticon?????)

Oh God, I hope that means he doesn't turn into one himself. :medium-smiley-070: Right now, I think both ladies are scheduled to call into me. Not being selfish, just some mis-communication earlier in the week about who was going to call. I will keep you all posted if anything comes up -- I may have to postpone Tony Bennett. *g* Also, we're under a tornado watch at the moment -- just keep thinking good thoughts regarding the weather around here, so that I'm not in the basement at the time.

JennaZ, have a wonderfully relaxing vacation! What time does the gala start this evening? I've promised my husband an evening with Tony Bennett (via Netflix) this evening, but I think I can be back to my computer at a decent hour to hear most of the cellcert. That's actually me with IWCY. Never cared for it all that much, until I had a particularly bad day at work one time. Played that song over and over again for my entire trip home, and totally gained a new perspective on it too. I will say that MOAM is one that I understood was probably more "Clay" than anything on MOAM, but I didn't get into it either until the AOL sessions version. That....took my breath away. I thought BFM was fist pumping too. Hee. It's always interesting to read peoples "love it/hate it" songs from Clay. While I'm thrilled for CG that TOA was mentioned as Clay's favorite -- I was just as thrilled actually by the way he described EIH (one of my most favorite on the album). I almost drove off the road the first time I heard the song, I find it extremely beautiful. I also know that many do not feel that way. Different strokes for different folks, and that's OK. (BTW, my absolute favorite on ATDW is HYCA, so I really appreciated his podcast on that song. Those low notes get me every time). Since Claygasm did it, can I post a few pictures of my beloved kitties? They are my children, and I love them and squeeze them and stuff all the time. Spot is really my baby. He's named after the cat that Data had in "Star Trek: The Next Generation." He's my big dumb yellow cat, who is so loveable. His habit at the moment? I frequently lay on the bed, one knee bent and away from the bed, and the other ankle on top of it. Makes for a nice long leg for the cat to climb upon and spread himself out. It's really quite funny, when it isn't painful for me with his claws. Quincy is his adorable sister, and she spends much more time with my husband. She's the talkative one; we hold true conversations with her. *knocks on wood that three times isn't a charm for plumbing problems for FCA members* muski, good luck with the cleanup, and I hope your day isn't ruined too much! Oh dear. Thank you for this. While I still think it was probably best to NOT release this video, it doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it back then, and it was a great reminder of how hawt he was back in his younger days. That look at the end is KILLER. Hee. Actually, I do too. I actually think he likes the joke in that. He plays off it enough, that's for sure. Well, time for a nap before the show tonight.

CG, I'm sorry I can't help you with Waldo (that sounds really smutty, doesn't it?). Our two cats were brought up on Science Diet dry food (the vet says it's much better for their teeth for them to eat dry). We used to give them wet food on the weekends as a treat, but it got too costly. I hope you make the decision, though, that is best for you and Waldo. (And aren't kitties adorable? I love my furballs.) Clayzorback, sorry about your sucky day yesterday. Plumbing problems are a drain (probably didn't make you laugh there, did I?). I'm staying away from the boards most of the day, until about 7:30 or so CDT this evening. However, I'm thrilled for all those attending, and can't wait to hear the reports! jmh is calling me this evening once the gala is over.....

WORD on all counts. Terrible day for me at work, I'm ready to just fall into bed. Or else drink. Yeah, that would work. And for your other paragraph -- Amen. All I've got time for. I've been reading all day, and I've just gotta say that everyone here rocks.

Oh for fuckity fuck fuck's sake. Can you say "entitlement?" Can you say "royal bitch?" :angry22: :angry22: :angry22: Gayle did a fantastic job. I'm with you KAndre, I'll help you hurt someone.

Want a cigarette? You should know....NEVER diss the Clay podcasts. [/semi-rip off of Dirty Dancing] I love ATDW. These podcasts just add a bit more of a different flavoring for me -- adding salt to the chocolate to enhance the chocolate flavor, for example. JMO.

OMG, yes. I love hearing him tell these stories. I cannot stop smiling right now. Love him -- "just got kissed for the first time at 26." Heh. Clay funny. Since HYCA is my favorite on the album (today, at least), I love hearing him talk about this, and the work that went into making that version. BW is another favorite, and again, listening him talk about getting chills at the end with the poem, gave ME chills. His description of EIH cracks me up, because I'm one of those "females" that LOVES that song too, and think it is simply beautiful. I'm happier than a kitten chasing a cow right now. (It's that farm analogy that couchie started. :F_05BL17blowkiss: )

I've listened to 4 of the 5 (will get to number 5 after my other boyfriend, Jon Stewart). OMG. These are fan freakin' tastic. I love hearing him talk about how these songs came about, and how the originals got selected. His purpose in life? Yep -- agreed Ansa. Be back later to EEEEEEEEEEEE! more!

That was my first thought as well. But, whatever it might be, I'm sure I'll just be madly, passionately all over it. As for the discussion at hand today, I'll just interject here that I'm like Claygasm in that I don't have kids, and feel that it's not for me to really say much of anything. However, I have a SIL who teaches children with autism, and I know the fights she has to face. Also, my best friend is a special ed teacher, and she did her Master's thesis on inclusion. I guess I feel as many have said -- it's really an individual thing, but it's unfortunate that there seems to be neither the time or resources to do individual work with students to assess their needs in so many instances. And yes, most of my giving to the BAF is simply because of Clay's name attached to it. I'll freely admit that. But why do I do that, because of his name? IMO, I'm not doing it because I want Clay's attention; it's more because I want the foundation to be successful. But I also know that the "attention" thing is the reason why at least a few do it. *shrug*

Helloooooooooooooooo.... Anybody hoooooooooooooooooome?

Would you have rather they cast Randolph Mantooth? [/Emergency! connection] *g* I can agree to this...and yet, somehow, in the back of my mind, I think it will all tie together in the end, especially knowing that the show is going on for maybe 2 years more at most (isn't that what I read somewhere?). It's a fascinating show, for exactly that reason -- things not mentioned in 2 years will suddenly pop up again to nag at you. I read something yesterday (I think it was in the new TV Guide) that said "Jack's father is the glue for the entire show." The more I thought about it -- heh. It's kinda true. He seems to have popped up in almost everyone's backstories, somehow. Heh.

I'm starting this thread because Clayzorback said so. :F_05BL17blowkiss: Seriously, I've been needing a place to talk about the show, and finally, am just breaking down to do so with this thread. The only problem is that I NEVER get to see the show in real time -- my husband and I both have jobs on Wednesday evenings, so the DVR comes in handy. We've usually watched it by the weekend, though. I think I'm one of the few that is still liking this show. I know, it gets convoluted like crazy, which makes it frustrating more often than not. But yet...I can't stop watching. I have favorite characters -- Hurley is chief among them. I love that man -- he's so funny. I also love Sun, Jin, and Sayid (the latter mostly because of the eye-candy). And, people always stone me for this, but I do like Jack. I think he's a tormented soul, but he's shown himself to be a leader IMO, and he's pulled some pretty good stunts this season. I also still like Locke too, even though he should be nowhere near a computer or explosives. *g* Charlie and Claire are just "meh" characters to me. And the "seer" guy (I can't think of his name), he's cool, but I need to know more about him still. Hated characters? I cannot STAND both Kate and Sawyer. Again, I know the second one is not a popular opinion...but I find him smug, arrogant, and an asshole. Kate, she's just icky. Anyone else....

Well damn, my decoder ring is malfunctioning today. *throws ring against wall* *dunks it in Cheez Doodle crumbs* Ah, much better. Claygasm, you are so right -- I can see Clive Davis' evil fingerprints all over these orchestrations. So, are the boards raising bail money for Clay's left-behind pooch? And of course, forcing people to donate? *g*
