I like that, duckyvee, the board got a make-over!! Looks good! Thanks to all involved for effort and time. It seems there's always lots of that when something like this is done.

Seriously - yesterday I wasn't going to go to Raleigh. Somehow today, I ended up with a ticket to the taping along hotel and flight reservations with my travel buddy laughn. How the hell did that happen?

Behold the Allure of Aiken.... :thsign27:

Just lucky I guess!!!??? Congrats!!!!!!!!!

I'll be there too, coming in Thursday afternoon and leaving Saturday morning; am booked at the Marriott!!!

I am feeling horrible, miserable, sore throat, head stuffed up, nose dripping

The very best of luck to you in getting well. I hope you feel much better very soon. This mess is not nice. Get lots of rest!

Am I the only one who feels, below the surface quiet, a burgeoning roar of eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees?

Nope! Just want to be able to release it!!!!!

Congratulations, Couch Tomato!!!! That's wonderful!

I haven't had this much fun in a LONG time!!!!!!!! :04: :04:

He's such a keeper!!!

Of course! I shoulda known that!!! Of course, that makes it an hour sooner here, so that's always a good thing! (Or something like that.)

How much you wanna bet it doesn't get posted until just before midnight? Hey, at least we know it's too late for any tickets to be going on sale....

Which time zone?!!!

Now that's looking on the bright side of life!!!!!!!!

You know he just kept singing and singng like he was having a really good time. I haven't been able to really voice it too well but it, to me, just felt different. The evening felt so intimate like he was singing to a few good friends. His voice just wrapped around me and grabbed my heart! I almost felt like he "let us in".

Does that make any sense?

Makes perfect sense, and that was how it felt to me listening in on the stream at home!!

What a wonderful in person evening y'all had!

CV Cellcert: Saying Reed was mesmerized watching "the man on the stool." Oh my my my my.

Oh oh oh, I can add something!!!

Instead of the cellcerter (hippoga) saying Reed was mesmerized, she called him "the curly-headed one" was mesmerized watching th man on the stool! It was such a beautiful sentiment!!!

I got caught up reading the comments for the show. And I'm very proud to say that not one clay fan interrupted to point out that Clay was in the photo. I really did expect it.

Maybe someone got a clue! Hopefully!!

Lemmings to the sea: Clay fans.

Thousands of dollars on airfare and hotels and no idea what for. (LOL!)

And loving every minute of it!

Clay commands and we follow!

He makes me smile and all of this makes me downright giddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :04:

He sure knows how to keep everybody tuned in, watching, waiting and talking!!!

I hope there are enough tickets for as many fans as want to be there and can go, and more for local audience too!!

I've made the hotel reservation for HippoGA and me, and maybe a couple of others! Won't book airfare until we know more. Haven't looked at it yet though, since it doesn't matter right now.

The EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE's we've been able to expend lately sure do feel good!!!

On another note, I saw the new Harrison Ford movie, Extraordinary Measures, tonight and it was good. Harrison Ford is still good looking!!!

He is wearing Blue jeans. Casual hair.

Sounds quite yummy to me!!!!

keepingfaith, I'll raise you an :04:

I thought I misspelled mathematical! Your spelling looks better!!!

Yeah, these EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE's of late sure have felt gooooooood!!!

I'm thinking about the 2007 DCAT in Tampa, the pre-TWYMMF banter, when Clay made the "be proud of your instrument" comment to the french horn player and the audience went crazy and Clay said we had dirty minds. Just after that Clay called out for the oboe player and said, "Put your reed in" and Jesse looked at Clay with the funniest look on his face. In retrospect, could that have been an intentional double entendre there? Makes me imagine that Clay and Reed could have been seeing each other more than two years. Of course, he could just be saying "put your reed in" for no meaningful reason. Still, I haven't forgotten that from sitting in the audience that night. Maybe things just got serious two years ago. Ahhh, shipping! I've missed it!

Love this! Is this speculative math, or mathmatical speculation, meaning getting 2 and 2 to add up?!! Makes me smile, regardless!!!

OT, but... haven't logged in here in a while, but still reading! I hope someone can share some thoughts with me - it might produce a benefit for us all (thinking ahead to hopeful Clack gathered at GFI)!!!

INPUT REQUESTED!!

I'm in the market for a new camera for use at GFI and have been "studying" a lot. I think I've narrowed it down to one of the following:

• Canon PowerShot SX10 IS (replacement for the S5 so many have)

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS (upgrade from SX10, includes 720p HD video capability, reviews indicate photos aren't quite as good as SX10)

Canon PowerShot SX1 IS (upgrade to above, includes 1080p HD video capability, I think photos were improved--read so much I don't recall, a small number of reviewers had fatal

mechanical problems with their camera)

mblovesclay shared her experience (and some video, which is gorgeous) with me from the SX20. Thank you so much!!

Anyone else? I need to order soon to get it in time! I'll be in Dallas tomorrow for annual Doc. appt's. and hope there is time to swing by one of the larger Wolf Camera stores to hopefully see/feel/hold one of these in person!

Thank you in advance!!!

I don't remember now where I read this, but I think I remember reading that OTWOL was to be the B side of the single to Invisible's A. After BOTW was such a success on the show, OTWOL was replaced with BOTW on the single. Does anyone else remember this?

Yes...but it was originally going to be the B to TITN. Not Invisible. It was up on Amazon that way for awhile. That is the way they did it. Ruben's single was FWIW & Superstar.

You're absolutely right. If I had just pictured the cover in my mind when posting that, I would have caught the song error. Oops! Yikes, now that was a dumb mistake!! I've even got at least a couple of those little beauties!!! Should have consulted one. DUH.

Ok, coming out of lurking to add my 2 cents on why Clay sang On The Wings Of Love. Maybe, since it wasn't a song being judged, he decided to be different, and sing a song he liked(and possibly sang before, pre-Idol). Of course, this is just speculation on my part, and should be taken with a VERY small grain of salt.

Maybe he sang OTWOL since it was his number on the compilation CD, as were the songs that KLo and Ruben sang.

<snip> but it looks like all the Clay parts are there.

Wow, AAIT was looking for Clay's parts. Do you need some help, AAIT?

Thanks, Scarlett! I think I've got it handled!

Now, where's that fan? It's warm in here.

He is...therefore I fan.

Yesterday, now and forever.

Clay is Wicked Awesome!

Yes, he is.

I agree, totally and completely.
