Lucia

I am leaving Brazil tomorrow. That´s the beggining of my Clay journey. For the third time in one year, I´ll be in the USA just to see Clay, and I´ll love every moment of it, I love your country.

If you want some of my Brazilian pins, look for me at the concerts. Here´s a list of my seats:

Aug 15 - Kettering, OH – Seat: Section C - Row K - Seat 25

Aug 16 - Toledo, OH – Seat: Section D - Row P - Seat 15

Aug 18 - Indianapolis, IN – Seat: Center Section - Row 19 - Seat 26

Aug 19 - Interlochen, MI – Seat: Section 4 - Row W - Seat 8

Aug 21 - Meadville, PA –Seat: Section D - Row D - Seat 16

I posted this at the pins thread too. If here is not the proper place, please delete it.

Lucia couldn't you partner with someone here in the states that will take care of the mailing and packaging. That is what was so great about having a partner in taking care of this. I live in Canada so the mailing wouldn't be practical on my side. So Couchie had to take care of all those. But what I did was to organize the orders as they come in so that it would be much easier for her during packing. I didn;t feel so useless and we didn't feel so harrassed all the time. Although I hope its not too stressful for Couchie now as she sends them off in the mail.

Anyway, I hope we get to see your pin...you could still put it up on FCA...I'm sure it will be a hot item during concert trading...

Ansa, I have no time to do it right now, between my work and getting ready to fly to the USA. So I´ll only trade them. I will put it on FCA as sson as I have the confirmation from the manufacturer.

My name is ... Lucia (OK, not very creative). l live in Sao Paulo Brazil. I got hooked on CLay from AI2 beggining in Brazil. That was about december 2003-january 2004, so I was 7-8 months late, but I got everything pretty fast on the Internet and have been Brazilian #1 Clay Fan since. I am a founder and head of the Latin American Fan Club, along with other fans I met on line. I went to two NAT and two JNT concerts and it was the greatest emotion to see Clay live (it was my first concert ever in the USA). I am an Associate Professor and I teach Virology in Sao Paulo University. I post at Heartful House and Clayaiken.com boards. And now at OFC, where I am lucia4clay (Lucia was taken).

couchtomato I have thought about doing the same thing.  There are several sites that sell the frames with foam? to stick the pins in.  They are very expensive.  I think the cheapest one I found was about $60.  I would really like to see one in person so I can see what the material is inside.  I'm not sure what it would cost to make your own.  Shadow boxes can't be that expensive. 

Lucia, your pin sounds like a great idea.  What concerts will you be going to?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I am going to:

August

15 - Kettering, OH - Fraze Pavilion

16 - Toledo, OH - Zoo Amphitheater

18 - Indianapolis, IN - Indiana State Fair

19 - Interlochen, MI - Interlochen Center

21 - Meadville, PA - Crawford County Fair

I live in Brazil, so getting the pins is very difficult. I got some, but I am way behind. I am trying to do the Clay Aiken Brazilian Fan CLub. It was made by AikenAllTheTime (thanks AATT, you´re the best). But I will not sell it, I am making them for trade at the concerts I am attending. The mailing from Brazil is very dificult.
