Thankful4Clay

Morning. I did two blends from the clips. The first one is Ashes: http://www.sendspace.com/file/k52chx The second one is Everything I Don't Need: http://www.sendspace.com/file/694z9j Enjoy! Paulette

Here's the pretty banner ad:

I should have posted it here, too. I guess I was too busy asking chicken questions. Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...A:IT&ih=007

Thanks for the picture of the chicken. Is there something sticking out it's bottom? Is that for roasting it over the fire? Can you tell I like to ask questions? ~Paulette

Did he autograph the chicken? If so, have you taken a picture of it? I'd love to see it.

I'm open to suggestions. One thing I will say about him- he REEKS! (The chicken, not Clay!!!!) My roomie (my dear cousin) wanted me to put him out in the hallway for the night! Does it reek of that horrible rubber smell? Did I miss where you explained all this? I assume you won a chicken auction and then also paid for a picture on another night?

You won't survive. It's been nice knowing you.

I agree with every word. LAA is beautiful just the way it is.

I didn't realize they were so expensive. I have a friend attending today and she was going to get one for me if she could easily get it home. Sounds like it will be a pain and that is too much money. I think I'm going to have to pass on that. Thanks for the reply!

Thank you. Someone at CV said it could be rolled up but didn't know the price.

QUESTION: For those who have seen the autographed poster, how much is it? Is it rigid paper or can it be rolled up? I'm thinking of asking a friend to pick one up for me, but I don't know how difficult it will be for her to get it home and then mail it to me. THANKS!! Paulette

I had to tear myself away from listening to the ukelele part of the snippet to tell you that if you go to Clay Fan Community/Clay Nation/International thread you will find what you need. You know, the kazoo effect with the ukelele is really kind of cool!!! Yes. I found myself humming along.

My "can't wait to hear the full song" keeps changing, but Everything is definitely a leading candidate. I wonder if that's Quiana on background vocals. I made another one for Ashes. I took a bit from WRAL and blended it with the snippet. http://www.sendspace.com/file/v0ehve

I don't think LAA was altered. Clay said it's the only song that Kipper did not produce. It does sound different on the Slov site but I think the speed is wrong. Clay sounds like a woman. On the Canadian site, it sounds the same to me. On another note, I combined the two different versions of Everything I Don't Need. You can tell where I joined them because I'm an amateur, but I like it. http://www.sendspace.com/file/8kbur1

PLEASE? I think they will be available in the stores. If not, I'd be happy to help.

That picture alone will sell thousands of CDs.

I bet you can figure out where I was visiting.

This has nothing to do with this board or any of the posters here, but sometimes I really, really wish.... that people were required to take an IQ test before posting. :dumb_people: That is all.

Sounds like Minnesota, too.

You wouldn't know it by the discussion here today! Maybe because I went through it, I only see it as discussion of past history. I do think Clay was royally screwed and I think he would have won if the phones could have handled the votes. That's why I was so passionate and why I supported him in every way that I could. He has a very successful career and what he went through made him who he is today, so I think it's all good. I don't feel like he 'needs' me the way I thought he did back in 2003.

I was not an intense online fan during AI2. When I voted for Clay, I voted maybe ten times. I had NO idea people were voting for the entire two hours. Now, take the thousands of fans online and add up the number of votes generated over two hours, and I do think that they could have made a difference. I really do think the majority of the fandom has let it go already. AI Rewind is bringing it all back and that is why it is being discussed. The passion that we had about this at the end of AI2 was out of this world. I don't believe most people are still passionate about this. Clay has risen above the results and so have most of us.

It appears the viral marketing is working:

I won't wear my Clay shirts in public unless it's a Clay event. I'm not embarrassed to be a fan of Clay, I just feel like I'm too old.

I'm making a Clay Mix CD for my van. I'm putting OMWH on it a few times and wanted to add some of my favorites. I'm listing to MOAM with my headphones (really nice ones) and I'm hearing things I never heard before in the instrumentation. I think I always focused on his voice. MOAM is my favorite song off of that CD. His voice soars on it and I like the message.

So I assume this texting relationship with Clay will also provide me with prime front row seats for Spamalot and the opportunity to be ignored by Clay in person at the stage door? 'Cause I might be willing to go for that. I think someone else has that market cornered.
