  1. Loved the blog. Love the man!

    I have a ticket for Chicago, but may not be able to get there. My company is bidding on a HUGE proposal and the next step is rumored to be Oct 11. If true, I could go, but if they slip it until later that week, I will not be able to go, so I'm waiting until we hear the date for sure before trying to buy a ticket to fly.

    I wouldn't mind camping out to get a good seat. The weather in mid-Oct is my favorite... crisp but not too cold, with crunchy leaves underfoot. Crossing my fingers that the Oct 11 date is firm soon!

    tree... the 80's with that pushed up his forearm jacket and tight (sometimes) jeans is just it for me. He looks gorgeous in the 60's suit, absolutely, but when he starts off the 80s in that macho phase, I just melt into a puddle. We can duel about it if you like... you're younger, so you'd probably win, but I'm pretty stubborn. LOL

  2. Can anyone explain why I'm sitting here with a shit-eating grin on my face watching them pimp Lawrence Welk while I am waiting for Clay, and a show I watched taped and have already seen on DVD? Clay whom I have seen in concert, on TV, many many times (and even in person just a few months ago) for 7 years now?

    Nevermind--Clay's on. It explains everything. It's always like the first date all over again with Clay, and I always end up falling in love. :flirtysmile3:

    jmh... thread title???

    From UNCTV's Facebook page -- HOLY CRAP!

    Holycrap2.jpg

    ldyj... I'll double that HOLY CRAP! fo' sure! I right-clicked-and-saved so fast my mouse has whiplash!!!

    And a good time was had by all. Now, if we can just get Clay to change his name to Agoodtime....

    heh

    00lsee... BWAH!!!

    To see and hear Clay last night was amazing. I watched both showings. I was afraid to leave for a bathroom break. Although I was at the taping, I sat so far in the back I couldn't see his face, so it was like seeing a new show. The feed had some periods were it got really quiet and at one point speeded up and made it sound like Clay went way off key. But they were very few. I loved his version of Misty on tv much more than on the cd. I wonder if there is a way I could pull it off the dvd? I thought the editing was great but I did miss WKOFAI and Esso Besso. As I said yesterday I hadn't watched the dvd so had no idea how it had been edited.

    Sometime during the day yesterday we saw a promo for TnT and Mr Fear said he was getting excited about tonight. I thought that was his usual teasing. But after dinner he went downstairs to watch his tv. Other than the newshour, there are very few tv shows we both enjoy. He came back upstairs around 10 to tell me that he had watched TnT and that it was great and Clay was great. Well knock me over with a feather, I've got a claymate in my house. :cryingwlaughter:

    Fear... congrats on the conversion! Watch out tho, if he starts wanting to go along on all your Clay trips, that could be problematic, maybe??? LOL

    Got it!

    UNCTV10.jpg

    bottle... I'm so happy for you! Wasn't it nice of Clay to stick out his tongue just for you??? LOL

    ETA: My fave part of the Timeless Tour is the 80s. Not only Eye of the Tiger, but Footloose has me by the throat and hasn't let go yet. I was watching them all last night and noticed (and, I was there in person, too, but too far back to notice at the time) how well Clay's jean's fit him in Reno. I have five more venues to watch, so I can't say if he wore them again, but wowser!!!

    I'm visiting Reno again and again thanks to those jeans. Fans self vigorously!!! Whoever shrunk those jeans... thank you!

  3. :GA_FCA:

    The Houston folks described their evening with Clay so well that I quoted parts of several recaps in the new Carolina On My Mind blog. Included are Desertrose, jtgranny, texwriter, merrieeee, Cookie0, and Scarlett.

    In most cases, I edited down the recaps a bit; but there's still a lot there. Hope you enjoy! Thank you for your comments/visits/tweets/retweets/FB reposts/etc, which help with Google placement. For some reason, all my tweets go under "All Friends" and not "Clay Aiken," if you'd like to retweet the blog. :)

    Also included is the latest grouping by SueReu for National Inclusion Project voting in the Pepsi Refresh campaign.

    Thnx for sharing last night with us, Houston! Hope everyone is having an awesome day! :yahoo:

    Caro :listen:

    Caro... I LOVED this blog with the recaps and the pictures! I left a comment for you, too. N.I.C.E.!!!

    Oh keepingfaith, you write a wonderful recap, even with no sleep. I'm so happy for you and all you Houston fans!

    And this:

    There was so much snark, but there's sweet humor behind all of it.

    Even though I've never met the man, I can see that in him. Someday, someday...I will get to experience that in person.

    Question: how can I go about making a donation in order to get that interview? I wanna see!

    Ernie said the interview will air in two weeks. There should be some clack available from that when it happens.

    Now, THIS picture I cropped. It just happens to be 3/4 of our Biloxi roadtrip. 00lsee, where were you last night? It struck me after desertrose mentioned last night on the way home that it seemed the magic began in the Beau Rivage elevator when we were singing "The Time of My Life." It was just getting started!

    Great summer girls, or WHAT??? Orgasmic summer! We flat out had Clay Aiken all last night. Just fucking unbelievable. I signed up for this thing last night when they STRESSED to us, repeatedly, that Clay would definitely NOT be there. Oh My God. Was he ever THERE!

    keeping... your excitement just tickles me. I am sooo very happy for your happening with Clay and friends. Your recap is fantastic! LOVE your new avie... I'll bet that one stays up for a long while. Mavelous, dahlin', mavelous!

  4. He looked wonderful, brown shirt, tie and jeans....at one point he was standing in front of me, leaning over keepingfaith and let me tell you those are some nice jeans!

    The ass inside those jean, weren't too bad either, huh? And the stubble so close to my face, I could have licked it. And I can't spell while he's standing over me barking orders on how to fill out the form. At that point I couldn't find backspace on that computer to spell Ms. "Love"'s name correctly. He knew what he was doing to me. He knew I knew he knew. Merrieeee knew. Close contact, he was breathing on me, an autograph, a picture ...

    Jesus Christ.

    Best night of my life.

    keeping... Thanks! I have the biggest grin on my face reading this. I'm so happy for you! What a great night!

  5. Well, my life is beginning to get back to semi-normal after the rush last week.

    keeping and all other FCAers with Clay tonight... may your phones ring your ears off and may Clay blind you with his sexiness and funny (and everyone else who watches).

    I was out of work when the AI2 finale aired on my tv. I recorded both nights, but zapped the last night as I couldn't believe Clay lost and didn't think I wanted to keep it around. The first night with his three songs became a blankie for me. Everytime I would feel down about the job hunt, I would play that tape, starting from the makeover, which blew me away. Then fast forward while counting to 25 to get to the second song, then fast forward 22 seconds to BOTW, then rewind and do it again. I wore that tape clean out.

    After 8 months of unemployment, I found a job I really like and am still at and intend to stay at until they throw me out.

    Once I fumbled my way to the message boards (funny story, that), I have never left. I have thought about it before and Clay was the first time I really allowed plain unadulterated joy into my life. He still brings that joy. I have learned a lot of computer stuff, of course, but most of all the friends I have made have added so much to my life. I am no longer afraid to travel anywhere by myself. It's so cool to know that even if you really don't know anyone where you are going, you soon will. In seven years, I have only met one Clay fan I didn't like and it had nothing to do with her being a fan.

    Here are a few pictures from this tour that are my faves...

    Shorty... :bdayparty2::bdayparty2:

  6. Ok so I signed up to help out at the local PBS station. Well today I thought I would not be able to go because AT&T are supposed to come between 2&4 to install the cable etc. And i hsve to be there by 5:30. i was explaining to my DH that I couldn't go. He said to call them and change the day and time and he would be there when AT&T shows up. He didn't want me to miss a chance to see Clay! Hee he doesn't even like him.

    merrieeee... verra verra nice DH you have there! Glad you worked it out. It would have been just toooooo awful to have missed Clay upclose and personal!

    Why am I on this thing at 10:37pm when I have to get up at 4:50am???? Cause I'm Clazy!!!!!!! LOL

  7. shortyjill, thanks for the lovely pictures! You can always keep those coming! He's so lovely.

    So, the Houston peeps are getting live in the studio? Cool. Licking is out of the question, though -- or at least I think so.

    I got the HoustonPBS official pledge instructions last week. It didn't say nuthin' like that. Nowhere on the page did it prohibit licking. Don't go making up cumbersome rules now, LadyJ ....

    Speaking of licking, this picture makes me want to blow it up, I mean enlarge it, yeah that, and, and, and,

    986910207_ntoPt_L.jpg

    keeping... thanks for this treasure... of course, it's a Perma picture. The onlyest one in the yellow shirt that I like!!! Yeah, Perma!

    What's this about licking Clay? Can I have a turn? :whistling-1:

    For some reason, we tend to be "the licking board" from time to time. Now is one of those times, so....have at it shortyjill!

    OK, so licking is allowed, eh, kf? Did it say anything about sniffing?

    Oooh sounds good to me! Heheh

    A super sexy fave...talk about lickable!

    th_IMG_1026_filtered.jpg

    Those thighs... those thighs!!! Lickable is right!

    bottle... thanks for the store link. I got the t-shirt in Reno, but I wanted the bag, so now I can get it, too!

  8. :hello: FCA! I'm a newbie and so I'm trying to figure my way around here yet...seems pretty simple (I hope). Just wanted to poke my head into main as well and say hello.

    :hysterical: Clay's FB comment!

    shorty... WELCOME!!! When you bring purdy pictures, you are welcome any ole time (well, actually, you are welcome even when you don't bring the pretty!).

    Thanks guys. We wanted to downsize but it is only 200sq ft smaller but it is joy of joys one story and 6 miles from work with no freeway!

    Tomorrow I get to stay at the house all day waiting for appliances, alarm guys and i'm having painting done before I move in. One big problem, no internet yet and because of the energy efficient barriers no cell phone coverage! I have stocked up on Clay DVDs so I should be OK.

    merrieeee... I really like the looks of your house. Congrats!!! I have to ask, tho... is that no cell phone thing temporary? I know you can use your landline, but still... no cell phone???

    I bought a ticket for the Oct 14th concert in Chicago cause I had a good friend living there and my family lives there (well, part of it). Now, I have to have a thousand dollars of dental work done and I am having expenses around moving back into my house and I'm thinking it would be cheaper to eat the ticket than pay the extra to fly and stay there. My friend will no longer be there, so that adds hotel. I'll probably go, since I told my brother I was coming, but not sure I should, just from the financial point of view... but... a 650 seat Clay concert... how can I not?? What's debtor's prison like???? LOL

  9. <------------ Yeah, and he was the one who invented the Bieber, too. I remember the night THIS picture was posted, and fans were "Oh, noooooo'ing" all over the place.

    I think it's high time we accepted that Clay's hair IS what he wants it to be, what he intends it to be, and is not being "neglected" -- I think that's a ploy.

    We must accept the hair.

    Love the hair.

    Become one with the hair.

    I mean, if this is any kind of damn cult worth its salt, you guys are slipping!

    keeping... BWAH!!! Well, I think we're a great kind of damn cult!!!

    :starhugs: for Couchie.

    What is Nomads for Inclusion?

    KAndre, that b&w pic of Clay is like a work of art. He is so beautiful. Don't care about his hair because most of the time I'm too busy looking at that gorgeous face. The lips, eyes, perfect nose. I'm with ldyj, I'm just happy that he has a nice head of hair on him. And I sure can't complain about bad hair days because I rarely do more than wash mine, towel it down, and hope for the best.

    I enjoy the concerts where people get up and dance, although if they sing when Clay is singing, I want to smack them. Unfortunately, I'm more like his mom and friends. I will stand up but I don't dance. Well at least my whole body isn't usually moving. It's either the feet or the body, but they never work in tandem. I was definitely born without the rhythm gene.

    justclay... Nomads for Inclusion is a fan group that raises money all year-round for National Inclusion Project. They started in North Carolina, but have decided to ask some other smaller fund raising groups from around the fandom to join them, so dropped the NC from their name. They ran the ebay auctions, among other things.

    Couchie and everyone who needs one, I hope this brings a small laugh to your day :thbighug-1:

    I read this at GCA this morning -

    Speaking of politics, lol...from tammie4clay at OC: (I'm not a friend of a friend, so I can't see these, but here's a comment from Clay last Nov.)
    QUOTE

    I was looking around at Devin's facebook pics and saw he had posted one of the cover of the NE with Obama on it. The headline was about Obama's gay lover coming forward. Devin's captioned the photo asking wonder why this didn't come out during the election....Clay commented....

  10. {{{{{{couchie and family}}}}}}

    Had fun yesterday afternoon... there was a gathering of Clay fans in Santa Monica for lunch. Went with Permaswooned. We ate on four 10 people tables under a weeping willow tree in a large backyard at J's house. We had to keep moving the tables to stay in the shade and dodge the willow branches at the same time. Susz used her hair bands to tie the branches back. LOL I knew about 10 of the 30 people who were there and recognized about 10 more. Spooky was there and announced that the NC Nomads for Inclusion was expanding to the whole U.S. and taking the NC off their name.

    I saw one of the pictures Perma is donating to the Gala... a gorgeously framed, breathtaking Timeless Tour picture. It was similar to this one...

    PermaTimelessLA.jpg

    YUM!!! We discussed how he is so frickin' gorgeous now, that his hair usually doesn't matter... now that's gorgeous!!! LOL

    We had a talk about the skills so many of us have learned through being a Clay fan. Her fab photography, cindi's graphic design, etc. It'd be neat to know if Scarlett took video with such skill before Clay. Caro's fantastic blog skills??? Lot's of computer skills for many. I know I wouldn't be able to burn music cd's if not for Clay. Perma was talking about how she now knows the way to get great seats at the Greek. LOL How many of us are now at ease in traveling almost anywhere by ourselves for concerts, tho we're not usually by ourselves once we get there!

    It's been a great seven years... and that's not even factoring in the fun the concerts are and the friendships made. So many of us never did this before with any other performer and I, for one, will be forever grateful I did it for this performer.

  11. Beer-filled pretzel pockets? Huh!

    I just found this link to an interview I hadn't seen before from a New Zealand site

    Time has been good to Clay Aiken

    You just can see how at ease he is with "being the person I have always been but wasn't willing to be".

    I found myself playing and replaying that look at the beginning of "Can't Take my Eyes off you" at 1.03

    Lotus... now that needs some gif-maker extraordinaire to make it into a gif, hint, hint!!! LOL

  12. Heads up North Carolina peeps! From twitter:

    UNCTV Clay Aiken is coming to UNC-TV on Sept. 11. Want to find out how to meet him? Check back this week for exclusive details!

    ldyj... BWAH... I read that as, "Check back this week for exhaustive details!" BWAH! I need a vacation, stat!

    Just sent my first two papers to the teacher...we have to read 10 articles on Libraries and send our reactions in for each...we have all semester to do them, but I think I am going to get them done ASAP...so two down and eight to go...I figure two a night and I should have them done in the next week. Not long papers..we only have to do a couple of paragraphs.

    That was pretty easy!

    Kim

    aikim... once you break down a scary big task into smaller pieces, it always makes it seem more manageable. I read once, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." and try to remember that when I get overwhelmed.

  13. :whistling-1:aikim, :friends: go get im. Remember from "Ashes": What doesn't kill you.

    Talked to my "west coast" son last night who is in web development and design. His latest assignment is with an agency that specializes in Droople, a cool software tool or language (not sure which). He talked about his exhaustion at night because while you are working on a segment, you always have at least one other at bay and you have to remember to use at the right time.(My interpretation of what he does.) In a lot of jobs we tend to do things by rote and not expand our thinking. But when we have the opportunity to grow, the end result feels so good. Moral, I got a 10% raise yesterday. :twinklewhore:

    Have a fantastic day, don't forget that Clay reappears on NC tv, in person, on 9-11. I'm so there.

    Fear... CONGRATS!!! 10% is awesome in this day and age.

    Made a large and small gif of dancing la vida loca. :)

    avatar-size

    bigger

    Feel free to use wherever.

    00lsee... I L.O.V.E. the bigger gif... man, those shoulders KILL! The Big Bird shirt not so much, but it doesn't stop me from watching over and over! Thanks!!!

    Desertrose... I think it was part of this shtick for the show. I think he sang a couple of the 60s songs Ruben sang in the JBT, if I'm not mistaken and, of course, he killed. LOL

  14. Looking at this one, I'm just gonna call it a night. :dead-1:

    HamptonBeachNH.jpg

    I don't know if his surgery fixed the TMJ, but the result visually is a thing of beauty and a wonder to behold.

    keeping... Amen to that sistah keepingfaith! (I just watched SueReu and your posted Rival youtubes, can't you guess????)

    I laughed so hard during this. It takes several revival clips and puts them together. Enjoy, This was done by SueRue:

    gbm... thank you for posting this link. I laughed my head off. I absolutely LOVED when the mic when down into his drawers... BWAH!!!

    cagney... I remember Jack Jones, but he was a voice only to me. Never saw him perform.

    Besides a fantabulous voice, Clay has personality and is funny!!! I remember laughing at Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr trying to do skits and they had great voices, too. I liked Dean Martin and laughed a lot at his shows, but I adored Sammy Davis Jr. Now that I think about it, he and Clay have some similarities... big voices out of skinny bodies and f.u.n.n.y. However, Sammy could dance circles around any other vocalist I know of.

  15. I have my theory about the Idol Finale. I think Clay highjacked another one. He wasn't invited to the Finale, or if he was it was only to stand in line and sing hosannas to Simon with a group of also-rans who we don't remember the names of .... So he flew into LA very visibly. Was photographed at the airport. Was photographed at the bakery the next morning with Quiana. The internet is buzzing about Clay Aiken being in town for the Big Idol Finale -- The Simon Sendoff. The Finale was a predictable dud, and the next day the buzz is ... Where was Clay Aiken? Yep, he did it again! He's pretty damned good, because I think it's a positive achievement to fuck over the dark side! *g*

    keeping... I'm not sure Clay cared enough to do that on purpose, but I agree with you that he did it, on purpose or not. Clay is kewl! So many interviews afterwards asked him why he wasn't there. haha!

    I've been giving some deep thought to the topics of the day, and what I've concluded after much research is that Clay is one of very few people who can be both hilarious and lickable at the same time. :flirtysmile3:

    jmh... Thread Title!!!

    00lsee... I was so glad to read how great a time you had.

    RL has been kicking my butt lately, but it should settle down just a tad now... well maybe not. I just signed up for a once a week class for the next 6 weeks and am already taking an online workshop till Sept 9. During Sept/Oct I am also going to be moving. In Oct, I'm going to Chicago to see Clay and family. I really have to stop finding these really interesting things to do... nah! I'll just have to cope with being excessively busy... LOL

  16. Speculations-R-Us ~

    Here is the twitter sighitng Clay in Vegas (supposedly)

    Jeremy Jerbotz Abellera You'll Never guess who was a Surrender Night Club last night......... CLAY .... AIKEN!!!!! hahahhahah

    Side note: Surrender Night Club is at the Encore at the Wynn in Las Vegas.

    I'makinda hopin' it's "work related" and it is the ONLY way I would go to Vegas again! But GO I WILL IF CLAY IS THERE!!

    We shall see... :whistling-1:

    tree... if you go, I will follow and roomie wit ya' agin. LOL

    By the way... thanks for those youtubes! I loved them. I loved the three theme songs... they were all excellent!

    Anybody willing to take bets on how long Idol will last with Randy Jackson, Mariah Carey and Steven Tyler?

    I give it no snaps and a rest in peace.

    keeping... now I would say the first few weeks will be well watched to see how it works. If it is a trainwreck, that will end that. They are both musical legands and if their personalities are decent, it might work. If they are both diva's, if it is funny, even roll your eyes funny, that may work too. People used to watch Pauler to see what wierd thing she would do or say every week. We'll have to wait and see.

  17. I got the same tweet, excited to see when the St. Louis date, which was rumored, would be. Didn't find it. This makes me think that the list isn't TOTALLY complete.

    I'm also not real thrilled that the Chicagoland show, in Waukegan, is on a Wednesday evening. Really tough for me to get away for that one. Hmmmm.

    Nothing less than 5 and a half hours drive for us Claynadians (at least those in my neck of the woods). That's a long drive at that time of year. I don't want another Erie scenario. Good thing I grabbed those Charlotte tickets when I did....at least I can get to an airport in 2 hours. :P

    Yeah, but Cleveland is a Saturday. Just sayin :clay:

    So now we only want him touring on weekends? Heheheh.

    Either that or we all quit our jobs so we can follow him around, LOL!

    Kim

    Aikim... weren't merrieeee and keeping talking about a cult??? Whatcha think of robes the color of Clay's eyes? If we chant nicely, he might let us sing back-up. LOL

    cindi... I'm shocked, I say, shocked at your behavior, missy! Impersonating a lesbian (How does one do that, anywho???) BWAH! Swallowing the sun! Doing something kinky with shirts!

    Well, ok, maybe not!

    In fact...

    it kinda sounds like a whole lot of fun!

    (I wanna do that!!!)

  18. Hope you don't mind me sharing some personal news..found out over the week-end that are first grandbaby due in January is a boy...we are so excited! I have 4 daughters so having a little boy is going to be so much fun! He will be the first grandson on both sides of the family..my daughter's husband has 4 nieces.

    Back to your regularly scheduled drooling, thudding, etc.

    Kim

    Kim... are you in for it now... there is no.thing in this universe that is sweeter than rocking a grandbaby in your arms. Smoopie doesn't begin to describe it. Your heart just plain melts. It is also fun to leave them to their parents after a visit... LOL

    Found this great Hammond M&G recap by Banshee at CV:

    Finally getting a chance to post my Hammond M&G recap!

    Be warned, it is rather lengthy… (This post may travel) [snip]

    We made it to the venue in plenty of time to find the box office and scope out The Venue (yes, the name of the venue at Hammond is: The Venue………sort of reminded me of a Laurel and Hardy skit…..)

    As we were waiting and chatting, the lovely Nicki503 was introduced to me. She took me aside to ask me a favor regarding the M&G. Seems her good friend Cathy, aka Pennyb30 (WISCathylovesClay at the CB) also had a M&G. Actually, Cathy had PMd me a while back when we found out we both had won one, and introduced ourselves that way. It turns out that Cathy had not seen Clay live since '04. Her life was interrupted by a brain aneurysm. She had surgery (at least one) which had some lasting after effects on her brain function and left her with a titanium plate in her head. She was thrilled to win this M&G. Her daughter and daughter's friend had brought her to Hammond. Cathy was very concerned that she would not remember anything about the M&G and also that she would be too emotional too function, which was somewhat of an after effect of her surgery. Nicki503 asked if I would keep a special eye on Cathy, which I was more than happy to do. ....... Clay was going to ask everyone's name, he walked over to Cathy first, looked at her, waved his hand at her and said "you're crazy" in a dismissive tone. (Remember she had her hands over her mouth, her eyes were huge and she was probably chanting oh my gosh, oh my gosh). Of course this was Clay being snarky, I patted Cathy's leg and said, he's kidding you know. Clay went down to the opposite end or the row of us and then started there with names and handshakes. He then asked where we were from, he remembered one of the ladies from a previous meeting and knew where she was from. I told him I was from Michigan, and no, he didn't hold up his palm and ask me which part…. : When Cathy was telling Clay where she was from, she explained her health issues, and that she was emotional and would have trouble remembering things due to them. Clay listened attentively, when he found out that her daughter and a friend had brought her, he asked where they were. Cathy told him they were waiting out by the box office. Clay turned to Jerome and made a circular motion with his hand indicating for Jerome to go find them. We all looked at each other and grinned. First class, compassionate Clay at work right in front of us. Alas the girls could not be found, at least not right away.... [snip]

    This story about Cathy is what I was referring to in my (very brief) recap of the M&G. I was so hoping her story would be told because for me, it was really something special to see unfold. The subtle change in Clay's demeanor once he realized the situation was beautiful to watch. He was still teasing, snarky Clay, but just that much more gentle. I really did fall in love all over again in those few moments. The other very cool thing was the silent communication between Clay and Jerome (when indicating that he should go find the daughters). Jerome really never takes his eyes off Clay and there is no doubt in my mind that it wouldn't take more than that crook of Clay's finger for him to take you out.

    Also the 'take your t-shirt off' thing was me. OMG it was funny - I would have sworn that was what he said. In fact I actually leaned back out the door and asked him (laughing of course) to repeat it. I said dang, didn't realize it was that kind of meet and greet. He said 'you're gonna get me fired.'

    cindi... at least you will never forget a moment of that whole experience, even if some of the funny is on your shoulders. It sure would have been interesting to hear what he would have said about your design abilities! You might have been hired on the spot... LOL He would have for sure if he'd seen some of your fantastic work! Next tour, you need to give Jerome a scrapbook of your work to show Clay. I love the relationship Clay and Jerome have developed. I wonder if Jerome ever dreamed when he took the job of guarding Clay during the AI2 tour where it would lead. I bet Parker thinks he is another grampa.

    My life has been so enriched by knowing this Clay Aiken guy!

  19. And OH THAT KISS!!!!!!!!!!! :Thud:

    http://video.yahoo.com/watch/8087872/21413789

    interesting how he pulls away at the end though. LOL

    You cannot see his reaction from the straight on video. But from the side, he turned to the band and was quite animated and talking, then turned to Ben and lip readers reported that he said Casey was trying to French kiss him. Explains the jerk away. I love Casey.

    keeping... thanks for the added report. That sure 'splains it. LOL

    AND, I absolutely LOVED your recap. Just like almost everyone, I love to hear NJU stories, but one's from Southern men... I'm smiling all over, so thanks!

    Oh and for the record I still have at least half a pitcher of Koolaid left so I'm not about to shave my head for anyone! You kind of had to be there!Ok my recap...fun, laughter, good good friends, swanky hotel, good food, great travels, not enough sleep (who cares it's a Clay weekend)) and most of all one of the very best concerts I have ever been to! Clay or anyone!

    Half a pitcher of Koolaid left? The hell you do, I guzzled down that nectar after you went to sleep Saturday night. I'm now awaiting instructions from my Guru, Sri Clayananda.

    Where were you when Clay's duckbill-shaped spikes needed to be trimmed down, KAndre?

    I think she did get a hold of him. You didn't notice his immeasurable pulchritude in Biloxi? I did.

    Om Guru.

    BWAH!!!

  20. Totally catty gossip--feel free to scroll if you are pure of spirit.

    My friend had the good fortune to sit next to a "famous" Clack gatherer who gave her an earful when she found out Carol wasn't on the boards. (NOT Scarlett, by the way.) The woman said she is a personal friend of Clay's and was able to meet with him and take a list of questions to him, but when others are around, he acts very professional so people won't be jealous AND that she spends so much of her time providing Clack for others and doesn't get the appreciation she deserves for her sacrifices.

    Holy crap. It just never ends.... :cryingwlaughter:

    Oy vey... and I'm not even Jewish or Yiddish or whatever that saying came from. LOL Delusions of gran.du.re are great things, are they not?

    At work... must get back to it. Proposal is out the door on Wednesday afternoon. Then I can get to the wonderful multi-tudinous clack.

  21. Hee, I didn't forget, but I'm thinking maybe you had to be there. :P

    What?? It's not every day Pinocchio falls out of the sky at your feet! It's a sign I tell ya! Not sure exactly what it's a sign of, but it's a sign!

    - -

    I can't believe it's almost over.

    Thanks, Clay and Ruben and company for making this another summer to remember. It really was about damn time, and we really are so damn lucky.

    :bighug:

    I honestly did have the time of my life.

    cindi... now that is definitely a thread title! (see bolded above) And, you have to tell the pinochio story... curious minds want to know!

  22. Caro... loved your blog! I was rockin' here at home to that youtube. Footloose has to be my fave of the show! I love that movie and just watched it last month, so it was very fresh in my mind. I cannot think the new footloose could ever be as good.

    Ya know, I'm usually a full frontal kinda gal but....

    This pretty has been causing some serious discussion of "profiles" around the boards.... :hubbahubba:

    post-1277-128173003476_thumb.jpg

    Let's ask Clay what he thinks shall we :whistling-1:

    post-1277-128173013435_thumb.jpg

    tree... N.I.C.E. and then some!!!!!

    Five more days of work until the proposal is on its way and I can have a life again... except I can't cause I'll be in front of the computer every night trying to catch up with all the clack I have missed. LOL Oh, poor me, right??? NOT!

  23. маловато сопротивление! loosley translated means- there is no resistance!

    Hey, you need at least a little friction to enhance the experience, dontcha?

    BWAH!!!! Good one, bottle!

    36 hours and the hotel couldn't come up with better than that rearranged seating? Stooopid!

    At least that MTV idjit said they had great voices. The show didn't sell well in LA and NY, but other places sold out or almost sold out, especially two over 4000 seat places. Sounds like the "too cool for school" crowd still doesn't get Clay or his kind of entertainment. Their loss!
