Hee! A 3 hour dinner with Clay, Jaymes, Faye, Jerome, & Cheryl! Sorry, but ESPECIALLY a 3 hour dinner with Clay?! Oh WOW!

Please forgive my bit of creative editing, but the words & sentiments are still clayzy's: Thread title? Edited to put the emphasis on 'OUR' per authoress clayzy!

Drive by posting... {{{ldyj & sis}}}

Hey! What am I? Chopped Liver? TM Patsy I resemble that remark... Glad MamaTomato is doing better! To both of you! Skimming quickly, I know I've missed stuff! School & main job are still kicking my butt. Hopefully things will settle down a bit this week...

If anyone's bored or looking to procrastinate further, you might want to check out our main thread from 1 year ago tonight.... TONIGHT'S THE KNIGHT! Knock 'em not-quite dead! Happy 1 year Spam-iversary!

People get dressed on the weekends? Who knew?! (TM King Arthur) Love the pic of pals Clay & Ruben!

Aww, I love that he's there to see his friend, Ruben.

That is so cool! :nana: Jaycee, thank you for sharing your thoughts & feelings today. If I were to guess, I'd say that a lot of other fans have felt similarly to you at different points over the past 5-6 years. Everyone has their own filters and experiences, as bottle pointed out, that create their own version of Clay Aiken in their minds. Then something is said or done that doesn't fit that version and people have to readjust. To say he's been through a lot since AI2 is an understatement and, of course, he's going to have changed in some ways, but I think the essence of Clay is still exactly the same.

Don't give up on going back at some point to finish your BA if that's what you really want to do. I just finally started back this past summer after lack of money, fear of working full-time & juggling school, and life in general got in my way for quite a while.

I believe the guy in the blue shirt is Rick Spaans & I believe the guy in the white shirt w/black jacket and tie is Andrew Fitch. I also believe the pics came from his FB page. In case anyone wants a "refresher" on the reason for 80's Clay, here's a link to the Kimmel clip on YouTube.

From toni7babe at CH:

Oh, {{{Couchie}}}}, what a day. I'm sorry. Here's to hoping things take a turn for the better over the weekend.

Good news about Mama Tomato! Hope you're feeling better yourself, Couchie. Sorry about your computer woes, cha cha & aikim! It's a lovely -4 with a windchill of -25 here tonight and work & school are kicking my behind this week! *Winks back at Scarlett before heading off to...*

ACK!! Am I in class or at FCA?! Grammar, pronouns and tenses - oh my!

OK, if you're having that conversation, I think the 1st, 2nd or 3rd person question would pretty much be a moot point....

Mmmmm... Professor Clay... I bet in that one, he's showing them pics of Parker.

The good doctor wishes he could do something to help. In the mean time, he's offering a boyish grin to cheer everyone up...

Oh dear, {{{Couchie & Mama Tomato}}}. How scary! Prayers & positive thoughts coming your way. Hope things went well - as well as possible, anyway - at the dentist, muski. Congrats on the new job & the good luck with your battery situation, Scarlett! Get well wishes to all the FCA'ers coughing, sniffling, sneezing, etc.

*Paging Dr. Aiken, Paging Dr. Aiken. Please come to FCA, STAT!*

Hope you're feeling better, Couchie & gbmifan & anyone else with the crud!

Re-posting the pic from the previous page with the recap by lisajluvsclaya:

Mmmmmm.... buttered popcorn....

Well, if you come up with another little scenario like the one at CH, he can buy himself a lifetime supply of bow ties....

BWAH!! Watch out if the next tour takes place in outdoor arenas - last time it was ... tribeca, every little bit helps. Good for you & your niece!
