Edited because the link didn't work...the interview with Clay at USA Week-end is already up if someone can bring it over. Kim

No M & G for Merrillville for me, but good luck to everyone else who entered! Kim

I was edited and threatened with suspension and inundated with PMs from "insiders" trying to tell me shit I didn't care about (because it was whacked and I knew it couldn't be true). I was made to feel like a traitor and I was made to feel unwelcome. I couldn't post anything without someone who thought they knew better than me trying to correct me or contradict me. I will never, ever be able to forgive some people for the way they acted and treated others. I, too, am waiting for an apology that I know will never come. These people did irreparable damage to the fandom, IMO. I am so thankful to couchie and ansa who allowed me to bitch and vent and gave me a place to call home. Also my fan buddies, especially cindilu2, who talked me off the ledge and kept me sane a number of times. I would have left the online fandom without them. Never Clay, though. I'm a fan of his for life. He is a class act, and that is something I have never doubted. Hee, me too. Sounds good. Yeah, I think that is an apology that will never happen. Luckiest1 thanks for saying what I have been feeling...having a really hard time feeling all warm and fuzzy about certain people right now and I really hate having that feeling. Helps to come here and see that I am not alone. Kim

Good Morning Everyone, 5 Days until Christmas in Merrillville! 8 Days until The Skating Special Airs! 21 Days until The BAF Golf Outing! 32 Days until Clay is on Broadway! Happy Birthday to all who are celebrating and to my DD#1 Emily, who turns 24 today (yikes, how did that happen?, LOL) Everyone have a great day! Off to download Scarlett's OHN clip! ' Kim

So many puzzle pieces falling into place for me now; but I still have to wonder about those who followed her so blindly. Kim

Probably wants to get the show done so people can get home due to the weather. Kim

I still can't believe that not one person has posted about receiving any meet and greet emails. Not one! I'm not buying it. After everything that's gone down; it wouldn't surprise me that people would be kind of hesitant to say they got one. Kim

From CB: On the cellcert, someone said that Jerome had come out and said for anyone with a meet and greet, to follow him. (Imagines 2000 fans stampeding after Jerome! ) Kim

Angie had a death in the family and had to go back to California Kim

I swear, I didn't see this thread earlier. A few tidbits...per CB only 200 people there, but CH says there are 2000...probably somewhere in between. Angela will not be there due to family emergency. Clay has a cowlick that is standing straight up...Alfalfa look tonight? (and don't tell me I am the only old enough to get that reference, LOL!)

Since there doesn't seem to be a thread for tonight's show...just bringing this over: From the CB: ClayFanNC wrote: My nephew just called me from the venue about 10 minutes ago. He said there are only about 200 people there. Kim

djs111 I just read your siggie... and how true! Kim

Not surprised at all by the recent announcement at CV...glad it is out in the open. Kim

So nice to see others echoing my thoughts about RCA and all the crap that was being bandied about in the great "Clay as Perpetual Victim of RCA" saga of '06. I never believed half of the stuff I was reading and any time I tried to post and offer logical explanations; I was pretty much handed my head...it is all starting to make sense now. Kim

Big hugs to all of you that are missing concerts this week due to weather...hoping to see some of you in Merrillville...it is actually supposed to warm up here this week and possible rain midweek which should melt some of the snow...keeping fingers crossed that we have fine weather next week-end. Honestly, I don't know what to believe anymore and I am still taking anything that comes out of a M &G, especially anything from Morristown with a grain of salt. Kim

Good Morning Everyone, Looking out my window at 8-10 inches of new snow; it looks pretty, although I don't think hubby thinks so, since he is outside shoveling and cleaning off the cars so we can head to the grocery store and fill up my new fridge! 6 Days until Christmas in Merrillville! 9 Days until The Skating Show Airs! 22 Days until The BAF Golf Outing! 33 Days until Clay is on Broadway! Everyone have a great day! Kim

Ain't that the truth! I am truly amazed at the amount of ass-kissing that goes on in the fandom and that is probably one reason why I tend to end up on a few shit-lists because I refuse to do it and pointed out flaws in their logic a time or two. Unfortunately, there are too many fans who are totally invested in their board popularity and that kind of power can be very dangerous. Kim

Good Morning Everyone, Safe travels to all those heading to Williamsport! 7 Days (1 week!) until Christmas in Merrillville! 10 Days until The Skating Special Airs! 23 Days until The BAF Golf Outing! 34 Days until Clay is on Broadway! :whoohoo: Everyone have a great day! Kim

And just to be sure; a Science Fiction sticker above that! Kim

Good Morning Everyone, Love his hair from last night; the color and cut are perfect! CG Sending prayers your way; hope everything goes well! Jamar No, I meant Rockford, that was the first time I ever went to the buses...my second Clay concert...but I will never forget Indy...hotter than heck and how long did we wait for him...2-3 hours? But it was worth it...even I got Aaron's hand and not Clay's, LOL! Good times! 8 Days until Christmas in Merrillville! 11 Days until The Skating Special Airs! 24 Days until The BAF Golf Outing! 35 Days (5 Weeks!) until Clay is on Broadway! :whoohoo: Everyone have a great day! Kim

Yep, that's my new favorite from this tour Mine too! Kim

In case anyone is interested...they have the "snuggle up with Clay Aiken" blanket available in the online store at the OFC...also check under Accessories...you can get a bucket hat! Kim

My very first time at the buses was during the NAT (Rockford, IL) and when Clay approached us (we were behind a fence) my first thought was "He's just a kid"...he was so young looking and had that boy next door thing going on...really brought it home to me that he just a normal person like the rest of us. Looks like Santa is coming early to our house; I normally do my grocery shopping on Friday mornings since it is my day off but have to wrap tomorrow, so I told hubby that I probably wouldn't get to it until Saturday. He said it was probably better that I wait since he has something being delivered on Saturday. Now, I can be a little slow and at first I thought he just wanted me out of the house, but then it dawned on me that I am probably getting a new refrigerator. I have been bitching about ours for months, but we have so many other things to get done that I didn't push to get one right away. We were out a few months ago; just looking and pricing and mentioned one that I really liked...keeping fingers crossed. Probably getting a maxed out credit card too, but I will deal with that in January! I'll let you know on Saturday! Kim

Good Morning Everyone, 9 Days until Christmas in Merrillville! 12 Days until The Skating Special Airs! 25 Days until The BAF Golf Outing! 36 Days until Clay is on Broadway! Everyone have a great day! Kim
