Clayzy

I'm going to be leaving Friday morning! Hope that Google Maps is accurate when it says it takes 5.5/6 hours to get from where I live to Asheville. o_O

Off to read the thread... I have some catching up to do!

Urrp, so jealous. I can't really afford to buy the iTunes download and the physical CD and I really love having the actual CD, so I think I'm just going to have to wait. Y'all are making being fiscally responsible really hard, though! I can't wait until I can listen!

Aw, thanks for the birthday wishes, everybody!

I HAVE A COMPLAINT TO LOG, HOWEVER.

HOW DARE CLAY KILL ME ON MY BIRTHDAY????? 'Cause I just listened to UM and CTMEOOY and I'm about to die. *dead* Opes. There I went.

I bought my ticket!

Not to beat a dead horse, but what irritates me about the Setoodeh stuff is that people act as though since Setoodeh is gay, he can't possibly say anything negative about gay people or anything that is bad for gay people.

Anyway. I better stop before I start ranting.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, album news!

*thud*

That's all.

I'm so behind! Let's see... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE to everything! New PICS, new SNIPPETS, new VIDEO! *<i>cartwheels... falls over</i>* (Pssst... that was just a *thud* in disguise... )

In slightly random, but not entirely off-topic, news... I heard OMWH in a restaurant last night! I did the classic Claymate freeze, headtilt, and then exclaimed, "That's Clay Aiken!"

My companions were less enthused than I was, but hey. Even though I could barely hear him over the clatter of forks and knives and conversation, I was very pleased.

Hi, claysgalsal! *flails waves wildly* It's fun here!

Also, there's a Clay mention in this article talking about AI transformations. It's short, but not too bad. The highlight is probably where they say that his voice is "deep" and "manly". For the image, they used a Spam picture where he's wearing the wig... Here if anyone would like to read.

Sadly, no mention of his new album.

Yay for angst-free zones!

*angst angst angst*

OOPS.

I'm strongly considering going to this one! It should be exciting because f I go it'll most likely be the first time I've ever traveled on my own! I'm checking out bus fares and hotel prices right now. The Guesthouse Inn is looking good--close enough to the venue to walk and a good price.

I'd love to meet some FCA-ers, if I manage to get there! :^D

Thanks! It's a little scary--I'm looking at bus tickets, hotel rooms... and tickets to the show, of course! Eeeeeeee(k)!

Sooo, Asheville and Biloxi are the only ones for which it's remotely possible I could go, BUT I don't know yet if I'll be able to. Is there any way I could get ticket insurance or something if I bought a ticket and then wasn't able to attend? Would ticket prices increase as we get closer to the date?

(Sowwy, guys, I've never been to a concert before...)

ETA: Also, should I ask this in a different forum?

O/T, but... I just got a new phone!

Slightly on topic... I can't put ringtones on it, just download them from the service itself, but the phone service's website has 36 Clay songs, plus God Bless the USA and O Come All Ye Faithful from Idol. So... yay? I'll miss my current "recognize this voice" though. :'^( Also, the ringtones are $3/ea, so I might end up pretty poor! Let's see... 3 times 36... EEK. I guess I'll have to make a poll: What should Clayzy's new ringtone be?

I made the cover my laptop wallpaper... I used the high-res, though, so the top is cut off and all I'm left with is a big, huge, gorgeous picture of Clay... *thud*

Much as I like the other stuff too, I think I can live with this. *thud*

Gotta go to *thud* work now. Just as soon as I pick myself up... maybe regain control of my motor capacities...

*thud*

*mindlessly noms the new cover art*

If this is an April Fool's prank, I will cry. It won't be pretty at all.

*nomnomnom*

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

*returns to school-created cave*

Go for it clazy. I love Asheville . Lots of crafts.

Need a car first, unfortunately.

When is the Asheville concert? I just discovered that Asheville is about a 5hr drive for me... *devious thinking*

ETA: Thanks, luckiest1! I was too lazy to go back and actually find the date...

Ooooh, even though I can't go, I can't wait for this performance! Greedily, I hope there will be lots of amazing clack! ('Cause it goes without sayin' that Clay's gonna be amazin'!)

Clayzy, there's been all kinds of clack from the GFI and the Gala (both Project stuff from October and the other gala this past Feb.) posted. You can find it in the normal spots.

Haven't seen this posted yet. From Shamrock at the CH, in regards to Clay's jaw:

I was at the VIP rehearsal. During the question and answer session someone asked him about his jaw. He told us the surgery did not work.

Too bad...he went through all that pain, probably for nothing. Poor baby!

Oh, poor Clay indeed! I've heard that success rates for TMJ surgeries are indeed very low (I have a case of it myself), but it stinks that it didn't work for him.

I liked Paula in the early days of AI. Then she went... odd... :^(

And, EEEEEEEEEEEE just from reading all these recaps! I can't wait for the special to be on TV!

ETA: Also, a quick question. I haven't been around much lately, so I was just wondering if the GFI and Gala clack had been rec'd yet...

Clayzy, hope you are feeling better...and are you safe? Check in if you can...

Hey, you probably know by now, but yeah, I'm safe. It's been a pretty shitty day, though.

I am feeling horrible, miserable, sore throat, head stuffed up, nose dripping and we still haven't heard anything about the 12th.

I took the plunge and booked the shuttle to Seattle, overnite hotel,plane tickets for the next day and I still won't get in until after 700pm but I will be there for whatever it is that's happening.

I desperately need to be cheered up.

Clay must be feeling really PO'd by now...he promised his fans news 3 days ago and has had to watch us getting more and more restless as the days go by.

Ugh, me too. It's horrible.

In other news, YAY CLAY!

That is all. *crawls away to drink tea and play videogames*

Aww, I've missed y'all! School and life in general has just been crrrrazy lately!

Oi, those new pictures of Reed and Clay? YUM! They look so cute and happy!

I'm aliiiiiiiiiive! *puffpuff* Just barely, anyway.

I'm sure I'm very far behind, but, um... congratulations, aikim!

And... I forgot the rest. Oh! I'm new, so... what on earth was going on in the Prayer video?
