    Since the concert is coming up next month, I decided I better start clueing them into what they should expect.  Sunday lunches at Mom’s house generally feature more cross-talk then an Aaron Sorkin episode of “The West Wing”, I have to struggle to get my sisters to pay attention.  After getting everyone sorted out on the date and the venue, I thought I better bring up the pre-concert fan picnic at the site that I had signed us up for.  This is easily accepted once I spin it as allowing us to park close, avoid some of the crowds, and, you know, eat.  (Always a popular activity with my family.)  I manage not to spit my Diet Dr. Pepper when Sis 1 asks if Clay will be there.  I casually mention the prospect of games and raffles.

    I loved your post because I could relate SO much. For the IT when my mom got sick my bro in law "Mr. Ruben won so why is Clay everywhere" ended up with her ticket. Now I am totally out everywhere with my Clay obsession and my family also loves Clay but I didn't want him there or any negativity during my concert experience. But he went...and he was clayverted. No, he's not "fangirly" but he walked away seeing that the boy had talent and was a great entertainer and has not had a bad word to say since. He also defended him when one of his buddies had something to say about my Clay t-shirt. What's so funny is that Clay got him right from the start of the concert because they had first row seats on the side....and Clay walked right by them during his fantastic Kyrie entrance. The words that came out of his mouth was "wow, that was good." heee too funny.

    Anyway, I wish everybody could see concert Clay. Yeah a DVD would be good. I think all of his fans would rush out and buy it and it would do well. But what I would kill for (ok not kill but you know what I mean) is for Clay to have like an HBO concert or something free that gets repeated over and over again on TV. Clay seems to keep concert Clay separate from everything else...I don't know why that is..but it seems almost by design. I'm hoping GMA will be different and he'll really let loose!

    ETA my sister was looking at all my pins and she wanted to know what 13 1/2was on the CH pin. And even though it's just his "shoe size" I didn't want to say it in front of my bro-in-law LOL.

    Is Clay Aiken turning his back on Hollywood?

    Calls music industry types ‘not the most savory characters’

    It takes a brave singer to cover the likes of Earth, Wind and Fire. But Clay Aiken isn't afraid.

    In fact, when we caught up with him as he prepared for his upcoming tour, he told Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson that from here on out, he's going to do things his way.

    “I think the thing that is hard about L.A. for me is that it is so big and unfortunately people who I have met in L.A. — a lot of people who I work with who work inside the music industry — they are not always the most savory characters,” Clay revealed. “But there are people in the industry who spend too much time on the wrong things.”

    Harsh words from Clay — the unlikely heartthrob who has sold over 4 million albums to the legions of “Claymates” worldwide and is now apparently ready to give up the big city livin'.

    “I just miss the small town atmosphere,” he added. “It's so much slower and the people that I come into contact with daily in North Carolina don't necessarily have an agenda.”

    But before Clay packs his bags, he's got a brand new funky tour and only Access was there during the funky 70s rehearsal session, as Clay sang some classics from Earth, Wind and Fire to the Bee Gees.

    I think he might find that his problem is more celebrity based than location though, unless he keeps his circle of friends to the ones who knew him before AI. 

    BINGO. I do believe this is the case. All celebrities have their hangers on and people who want to be part of their inner circle because they're famous. The clamor for Clay, the not knowing if people want to be with him because of his celebrity will be with him in L.A. and North Carolina and all points in between. I think Clay has made a start in keeping strong those friendships that mean so much to him from when he was Clayton. He'll have to evaluate all of his "celebrity" friendships and he'll make some mistakes there. If he can manage to keep that privacy - that piece of himself for himself - he'll be better able to handle the rest of the sharks! And if he has a main residence somewhere quieter, I think that will also go a long way to getting that peace of mind he seems to be searching for.

    Just have to do this...

    SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    This is gonna be one hell of a fun show.
