Scarlett

A bunch of fans were waiting in the lobby area of the Indio Holiday Inn around 3pm because their hotel rooms weren't ready yet so KAndre "suggested" that we keep them entertained by taking over the TV in the lobby area. They included fans from Japan, New Zealand and Montana as well as several familiar faces at FCA. These are clickable pictures from that afternoon. Japanese fans w/o their kimonos: Watch out, Clay! New Zealanders: Montanamom: HBD, YSRN! {{{Claygasm}}}

Hello from Toronto! I'm here to hand-deliver KAndre's super sekrit rap lyrics and arrangements (do rap songs have those?) to LizinToronto /jk. *waves to all the concert-ho's from last week* I'm really behind on Clay stuff but since his Cedar Point pics were posted, I thought I'd upload the eHP ones: (no Clay unfortunately, just ehP) Taken by the Lemon/Strawberry Ice vendor (so a bit shaky) Really fast ride that looks like this. Dragster again with 2 people who know when to do (& not to do this)*wink* Another great stand-up coaster My dearest love Solo & my dearest love How crazy is it that I brought all the raw Clack to Canada with me even though I'll only be here 2 days and I have no means to render them. At least, if there's a terrorist attack tomorrow and I never get back home, I have the stuff with me. *g* See you Thursday/Friday!!! *smooches for driving us all over last week and for picking that car in the first place*

*Sighs resignedly then stops daydreaming and works on this first batch...* ETA: (sorry, lickiest, but the connections are maxed out right now; Eva is processing, though) I've sent the files to Eva but for those who can do XViDs, the first batch of Houston files are here as torrents. EasyDownloader only needs to be done once; and if you already have a BitTorrent client like Azureus don't even need it. *scans the real estate ads for something far, far away*

Excuse me? Where's all this fanfic recap coming from? AP? Fox? At least when Muski writes fiction, it has lots of good Clay parts in it. -- I called at the agreed time to arrange dinner but folks needed to go to a dealership to buy a car -- When I called again for dinner and it wasn't happening anytime soon, I said that I would take my son out for pizza and I didn't ask anyone for pampering -- I wanted to leave early for Tulsa but received word via voice mail that it wasn't happening, so I decided to stay up to do the AC Grapevine clack that lucky & goldarngirl requested a week ago -- Would have been at merrieeee's at the time people said we were leaving but I got a warning light on my tires and had to get them fixed, like I explained to everyone when I arrived Is there a moratorium on Diva Clay stories that created a gap I need to fill?

Lucky, I can't narrow it down enough to play, but I checked something for you instead... Hee, so what did you do? I'm hoping you've got a secret stash of Motown clack somewhere..... :F_05BL17blowkiss: It's on Clay from the 2nd half of Grapevine onwards, some of it close-up. Would have been all Clay, but on the 1st part Jacob went and stood directly in front of me and it would really have been rude to point away from him; still managed to get Clay on part of it, though. Overall I'd say 75-80% of it has Clay. I'm not ready to publish to ClayNation but will upload just this particular clip here soon (before leaving for Frisco). Meanwhile, folks who want an introduction to torrents might want to try it too. Warning: all the initial files out there are XViD avi's. I'll be adding some ipod clips soon, though. :F_05BL17blowkiss: back at ya! ========================================================== ETA: Hi Ansa! This site links a Vista XViD codec. I haven't tried it but from the discussion it seems to be alright. Mine too!!! The're so pretty! (& thanks for the heads-up, couchie!)

Bram Cohen's Blog, website & Wiki entry. Bram created BitTorrent.

Clay did jump the gun - If you listen to the banter after the Motown Medley (or maybe even a bit later than that? not certain) Clay mentions how he accidentally came in early during Jacob's song - he was a little sheepish & apologizes. eta sorry to post-ho, trying to catch-up! Not everyone followed. I remember this because someone had mentioned to me that I didn't have a clip of Grapevine and I was thinking that the tour was coming to a close so I should get at least 1 full clip of it. I intended to do that but then Clay came out early (*covers Muski's eyes*) so the plan went out the window.

Edits in blue... Then 5 more weekends of madness...

I'm sorry to be late to the party (like always) but belated Happy Birthday, couchie, and Happy Birthday Ansa!!!

BWAH...you are naughty...hee Yes, I was being naughty. *hides behind Ansa* BTW, someone pointed me to this button Luvya right back, ldyjocelyn. {{{Squishes couchie & YSRN}}} ETA: Hey, welcome back, Muski!

So where's this ignore button at the CH? LOL at your story, KAndre. Your niece is just adorable.

Will be at The Greek and Indio. Might get to do Pala as well. That winery sounds perfect!

{{{merrieeee}}} Just checking, Muski, do you have both the time and the tix for LA or just time? If tix are needed, there are several Section A's available right now thru TM/AmexGoldSale.

[Looked like I was in for a trouting & so did some preemptive editing...] ldyjocelyn, Karen Eh?, bottlecap and muski -- Thanks for all the purtiness!!! You're killing me but this is how I want to go. Please keep it coming! LOL! *waves and blows kisses to the token white girl for being my GPS/not-Damian to the Woodlands last night*" BTW, on the way back from Frisco we're stopping for a brunch pool party at sugrbugr's...

I triple-dared N people who have couchie's super-secrit decoder ring & said, "so when the story breaks about the award, should we go post that we knew about it all along and were just being polite/protecting his privacy"/snerk to go post over there but I've got no takers... sigh! some people have no sense of fun & too much integrity http://www.ncld.org/ Voices of Our Children, Voices of Our Future NCLD celebrated its 30th anniversary at its annual benefit dinner, "Voices of our Children, Voices of our Future," at New York City's Marriott Marquis. Clay Aiken, pop music star and special education activist, received the Children's Advocacy Award. Learn more about our award winners and how you can support the benefit.

Hee. That chart is going to give Clay and team a false sense of security. Great job, guys!!! Thank you and love y'all to death. Wheeeeee! Looking forward to partying with everyone! Love y'all to death too!!! (especially Solo who keeps me sane)

I will still get the one I asked for from Karen and I'll expect anyone who gets from me to get from her first, unless other people need them.

I have tickets too

I missed most of the last night's gnashing-over-gnothing, but here's what I would have said: The Brighter side of Teeth... 10. He can fund TBAF out of what he'll save on bronzer; when he needs a tan he can just look himself over. 9. If a snooty restaurant serves him a medium-rare steak, he can fix it right there. 8. We can toss the pricey ISO 1000 Clack cameras with beyond freaky low-light capacity; ISO 50 will do just fine. 7. No more water issues; if he gets too close to a body of water he can just evaporate it. 6. With his voice and projection, he can do Sound-and-Light shows all by himself. 5. It's a clean, renewable energy source. 4. He no longer sits on the whitest part of his body. 3. He can give bullies a hot seat from 2 blocks away. 2. Whenever he wants to show off, he can part the Red Sea. 1. Next time he wears white pants at a concert and turns to Jesse behind him... Voila! Instant backlight! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ luckiest, I saw your post about our meeting at the Interlochen pre-party. I'm really sorry about not remembering that. My only excuse is that Interlochen was the first time I ever came within 3 feet of that guy so my mind turned to oatmeal. Hoping to see you again at the next tour!

Where's KAndre? She can't be asleep?!! I can't fill in all the spaces since I'm in such a fog that I need to read her recap to make sense of it all. I also thought "Kenny" the second I saw him -- and last night we were just talking about Muski's Kenny story... *threatens to keep dialing KAndre's number until she logs on* (and dial merrieeee's in between)

I'm not Scarlett either, but man! Talk about your overpriced LA hotel room! And no pool boys to keep us entertained either! Muski cracked one eye at the Houston psychos (tsk tsk, we've gotten all of 3-4 hours sleep! We're good!), told us to go away and go eat while she sleeps like a normal person. I even LOOKED at the fitness center. Didn't go in, but a looked at it. That's my minimum daily requirement done.... Clay tonight! Kisses to all who rejected our tickets - we admire your maturity and wisdom, and remind you that the immaturity and silliness will build up and y'all will go REALLY Clay crazy in a little while. It's all good!

The hybrid posse is in Hollywood, y'all! Don't pay any attention to the name "Scarlett" over there on the left. It's me...Muski! We three finally made it to the hotel room. And there are only two DOUBLE beds in it---not queen beds, mind you. Should be an interesting night's sleep. heh. Scarlett and KAndre's plane was almost an hour late! And there were no chairs to sit in while I waited! So I sat on the floor and typed on Chapter 21! Then there they were! And we haven't shut up since.... It's after 2 in the morning for those two...and Scarlett wants to get in line at 9...and KAndre wants to get breakfast and get there by 10...and it doesn't matter to me! Scarlett picked up some guy on the plane and he knitted with her. KAndre made nice with the car navigation system. Damien is dead. Muski forgot to bring her laptop battery charger and has only two hours left. She will most likely pull out the extra money she pinned inside her bra in order to buy one tomorrow. The alternative is unthinkable. Night! Will check in tomorrow. :F_05BL17blowkiss:

{{{{{GeorgiaClay}}}}} Take care and hang in there! Sending you lots of good thoughts and prayers... ETA: Yes, great idea about the iPod!

I was also thinking about what was left out because I vaguely recall our spending 2 hours at the restaurant, even though we did arrive late. Commiserates with playbiller... I missed out on most of the after "dinner" part because I went to the ladies room and ran into a bunch of meers outside it. Luckiest! You were at Cary?!! Oooh, we've shared a sauna. We have a connecshun! bottlecap, Ohio is still one of my favorites! Hugs memories of Toledo (that I will find Clack of after ldyjocelyn's awesome Boston waiting. I'm really amazed that you two haven't driven here to hold me upside down and shake out the Clack by now. What patience! *gets an idea* How about doing just that next weekend and stopping by merrieeee's along the way. (pssst, sometimes yelling at me helps)

That reminds me. I need to call you to get the details about the party. Uh, you still have "Right Here Waiting" for your call tone, don't you? And when the cops show up, this time we must remember not to assume that KAndre hired us a stripper. Even if the cop's name is Officer Claypool like last time. I'm a bit late on the pictures and videos but here's a video where KAndre and merrieeee explain the difference between "Mary" (as in Mary Did You Know) and "merrieeee" (as in merrieeee the binoculars lady). There are lots of pictures but these pre-concert ones need to come first since they feature Muski: KAndre, Muski & DD merrieeee, KAndre, Muski & DD Solo, PerusingOne & the webcats Muski with Ficus Rare picture of the eHP together -- KAndre found a willing gentleman Because they took a picture of my rear, here are theirs I fully support regional chains... or visit them at least once KAndre gamely tries something new Realization Verdict I was trying to mop up the white space surplus that KAndre created, did anyone notice? *giggles*
