  1. Anyone interested in an Alaskan Cruise?

    I would like to go on a 7 day return Alaska cruise, leaving and returning to Seattle. It is Holland line, the Oosterdam, leaving on May 6.

    I would be joining goldarngirl and her husband but I need a room mate and would prefer to share with a Clay fan.

    Is anyone out there interested? Please let me know ASAP. Much appreciated.

    The cruise is the second one on this page. Holland Cruise Ship

  2. Happy New Year FCA ers

    Unfortunately I am not feeling well today, although the new blog did help lift my spirits. I will presently toddle back to bed with a cup of tea and my iTouch with its audio books.

    I am listening to the audio book of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. In this book fans of the circus call it Cirque du Reves, the Circus of Dreams, and themselves Reveurs. They follow this magical circus, some whereever it goes in the world, others just within comfortable travelling distance.

    When I heard this, I smiled, realizing how the words could so easily be applied to Clay fans. Just substitute Clay for the circus.

    "They are enthusiasts, devotees, addicts. Something about the circus stirs their soul and they ache for it when it is absent. They seek each other out, they tell of how they found the circus.......They sit over their drinks smiling like children and they relish being surrounded by kindred spirits if only for an evening. When they depart they shake hands and embrace like old friends even if the have only just met."
  3. Listening to the podcast right now......Clay just said "fuck". OMG!!! And "shit". And "homo". cryingwlaughter.gif This is truly awesome.

    And then there is his response to Adam's comment "you guys aren't known for your wrenching ability" "no but to our lubing ability...Oooh!" Now there is a very different and ballsy Clay! If not, then another instance of a comment coming out of his mouth totally by-passing his brain.

  4. Haven't heard of Survivors, but there's other BBC series I want to see including Downton Abbey and Pride & Prejudice.

    I just finished watching the 3 episodes on Masterpiece Theatre called Zen, based on the detective novels by Michael Dibdin. They take place in Rome and are very well done. Rufus Sewell plays Zen...mmm..very attractive.

    They are available on PBS Seattle in their video section until August 31st.You should have no trouble seeing them as you live in the US but for Canadians you need a programme to connect to the internet that disguises your IP address.

  5. So I spent this past week with a marathon watching of the BBC's Being Human, which I had wanted to see for a while and Xfinity finally had the whole series (3 seasons) available. I don't think I'll be too interested in seeing the 4th season cause the creator and writers screwed up royally with what they did at the end of the 3rd. But now I'm feeling a vampire void and am going back to re-reading Twilight and thinking of stocking up with the Interview with a Vampire series to remedy it...

    I have really enjoyed the BBC's Being Human, the American version, not so much. I will definitely watch the 4th season to find out how they will proceed given the shocking ending of the 3rd season.

  6. I’m beginning to feel like I’m the only fan in the Clay Nation who hasn’t scored some combination of pit seats / a meet & greet / a personal phone conversation with Clay during the course of the TnT tour. He obviously hates me. :P

    No, you are definitely not alone. You have lots of company in this club.

    MMM I wonder how many phones will be held up in the next concert and how many pairs of binoculars.

  7. Hi All...Lotus checking in from Singapore where I am just not able to keep up with the boards. I have been able to download videos and it does seem as tho his concerts are getting better and funnier.

    I wish I could carry a sign when I finally get to see him in San Francisco that says " I never would have found you or travelled thousands of miles to see you if it hadn't been for the videos on youtube"

    Does anyone know where I can find a chart of the reserved floor seating at the Warfield that shows seat and row numbers? I'd like to know where my seats are. Thanks.

    How cool that you are traveling all the way to San Francisco!

    Here are some charts: http://www.ticketmaster.com/seatingchart/360463/33871 and http://www.thewarfieldtheatre.com/seating.php

    Thank you. I found my seats and I am happy.

    I'm actually not travelling all the way from Singapore. I get home to B.C. on the 8th and then fly down to S.F. I will have been travelling in SE Asia for a month.

  9. Lotus, there is a thread at the OFC, under fanclub forum, called tour talk - under tour talk, if you click on San Francisco, California - The Warfield - March 2, 2011, there is a discussion going on, on page 8, about where people are staying for the SF show. If, you're not a member, people are saying that they are staying at The Powell Hotel, and Wyndham Parc 55. I don't know anything, first hand, about these hotels, but maybe you can check them out online, or talk to the people on that thread. Good luck!

    Many thanks I will give that a try.

  10. I wonder if anyone here can give me suggestions/recommendations for places to stay that are relatively near the Warfield in San Francisco. I posted this in the concert thread but wondered how many would see it there.

    I am wanting to spend 5 nights in San Francisco to do some sight seeing and have just spent way to long looking on the internet. I am now just feeling exhausted, having not found anything.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

  12. My cat wakes me up every morning..I do not need an alarm clock. I get up at 6:00 and promptly at 5:30 she is sitting up by my head patting me on the face with her paw until I wake up...sometimes if that doesn't work she will lick me and if all else fails..loud meowing. Then she will follow me into bathroom and wait while I get ready for work and then it is on to to the kitchen to get her breakfast. She does not like to be kept waiting...If I don't get the food right away and decide to throw a load of laundry in first she will meow until I get her dish and food out. Then when she has eaten...she goes back to bed. What a life!

    Kim your cat made me think of

    tho your cat sounds quite gentle in comparison.
  13. I find it incredibly frustrating not being able to vote from Canada.

    Me too every time I read a post exhorting me to vote and often.

    keepingfaith Thanks for the information on the Essential Clay Aiken on iTunes. On that page I noticed some podcasts and downloaded them. Clay Aiken 5 I had not heard before. In it he talks at length about his reaction to seeing the devastation left by the tsunami.

    Yesterday I decided to go through all the CD's I have burnt of Clack. There was a time when I had to have every bit of Clack I could find and of course had to burn CD after CD as my computer filled up. Now I don't need to do that. One can put so much more information on a DVD and thank Heavens there are vaults.

    What I did keep were all the photographs and someday I hope to get around to organizing them.

    I did feel a little sad as I consigned those CD's to the waste paper basket. Sad remembering the way I used to feel when I was so in love that I went to sleep every night and woke every morning thinking of Clay. It is so exhilarating being in the throes of infatuation and I miss that feeling, though I am glad that I experienced it.

    Tonight I watched part of the Concert for George. Every so often I take out that DVD and treat myself to the music of George Harrison. He wrote beautiful songs, songs which can take me back 30,40,almost 50 years and bring back such memories.

  14. It seems so few compared to you all.

    1 David Foster Star search

    1 SRHP

    2 CITH

    4 Spamalot

    1 Gala

    1 Raleigh Taping

    2 Timeless tour

    And since I shall be in SE Asia probably only 1 TandT

    Still it is a lot for me who became a fan in 2006 and has never become obsessed like this before.

    Ah Honeycrisp apples..just the right combination of sweet, tart, crunchy and juicy. What a treat.

    It has taken way too long to write this as my 2 little grand daughters are here and we have had breaks for shreddies, cheddar bunnies and blueberries.

    Of to a local Fall Fair in a few minutes.

    Huh. Looks like poor lil’ Devin is out of the picture already. Buh-bye, Devin – we hardly knew you. :P

    You're joking. Right? Perhaps Clay has friends that might actually go for a walk with him. Lots of folks have walking buddies.

    keepingfaith Thanks for posting the link to those pics.

  16. Caro, Kai is just adorable. Time sure goes by quickly.

    I know Fantasia is scared silly. NC law allows the abandoned woman to sue the woman who supposedly stole her husband. I know aspirin can cause ulcers but kill you? The sleep aid I'm sure could do you in though. I'm not a fan so I have no opinion on whether it was serious or not. But as i said she is in trouble.

    As a former lab technologist who was called in too many nights to do blood tests for overdoses/suicide attempts/"cries for help", I can tell you that, yes, take enough aspirin and it will kill you but that just works for aspirin...too much acetaminophen will just cause severe liver damage.

  17. keepingfaith Thank you for posting that information about Elton John and Leon Russell. Could you do me and possibly others here a favour and let us know when that album is available.

    I love "A song for you". Did he sing that in Mad Dogs and Englishmen? Your post prompted me to get over to iTunes and download it.

    KarenEh I was sad to read of your dog's condition. I have always thought that in that photo you have of him as your avatar he looks so handsome and debonair.

    FYI for those who have pledged for tickets for the San Francisco concert. I just called Escott Jones at the station and asked where generally those tickets might be.

    He told me that usually pledge tickets are mid range. That is to say not in the front rows but not in the nose bleeds either.

  18. Just found this at CH from hope. The entire Biloxi concert is uploaded and can be watched as a whole at wowzers's YouTube channel. This is Scarlett's full concert. Click on "Playlists" at the top and then the first video under Playlists and the entire concert will play in sequence.

    http://www.youtube.com/user/Wowzers4Clay

    I started watching the concert until I realized I'd be spending most of my morning on my computer.

    You computer/video savvy people...if I can watch this on my TV thru my laptop will the picture be too pixelly?

    Would it be better if I d/l the avi files?
