ldyjocelyn Posted December 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 Good article from Billboard about the tour. https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/clay-aiken-ruben-studdard-2023-joint-tour-dates-1235185111/ Quote Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted December 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Question: So the last time Clay was on tour, we started a whole separate section for the tour, listing each date, ticket information and reports. However, a ton of time has past since that time, and we've lost a LOT of members. Should I still do that, or should we just continue on and put all the information on our main thread?

ldyjocelyn Posted December 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 People Magazine picked up on the tour! https://people.com/music/clay-aiken-ruben-studdard-announce-20th-anniversary-tour-christmas-duet-the-view/?utm_campaign=peoplemagazine&utm_content=new&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_term=6397d347424cc10001c233b5 Quote Link to comment
gbmifan Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Going to talk to my traveling friend today to see what she would like to drive to. I really can not go the third week in May and those are places we have driven to before. The night of Carmel, Indiana I have my awards dinner and ceremony for work. I have my 50 year award so I really need to show up. On Saturday that same week I have a banquet for ski patrol. I could skip that if I had nothing to do for it but my DH is in charge and I have to help with everything. I do not think he would appreciate it if I left him doing everything. So right now I am thinking of Newark, Ohio. From here it is a 4 hours drive. A little shorter then the others. We also could go to Canada but the drive is longer. Maybe up to 6 hours. Have to see what she thinks since she will be driving. Newark goes on sale on Monday. Any other year I would not have any interference. Quote Link to comment

jmh123 Posted December 24, 2022 Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 Hope all of y'all who are in the path of this nasty weather are enjoying yourselves at home with hot chocolate and not even trying to go out! 🤶 🎄 Stay warm and have a happy Christmas!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted December 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 My husband and I just got back from 3 pm church. The handbell choir I conducted played for the service. We are now at home, waiting for "A Christmas Story" to start, and we'll have hot cocoa! Right now, the temperature is 10 degrees, and that's actually quite balmy compared to yesterday at this time. I think the high temperature yesterday was one degree! I hope everyone here has a very Merry Christmas! Quote Link to comment
jmh123 Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 We were at 9 degrees here last night. No snow though. Beaucoup rain a couple of days ago. A high of one?? Quote Link to comment
gbmifan Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 It is cold here. Finally up to 11 degrees. We went to church at 3pm yesterday then out for Chinese dinner. My oldest son and girlfriend came and picked us out. We had gotten about 4 inches of snow and the roads were horrible. Glad to get home and watched Die Hard(yes it is a Christmas movie) and then DH went to bed and I finished my book (was reading 12 days of Christmas by Patterson) and then went to bed. Today oldest son, x wife, and two of my grandchildren coming around noon for lunch. My son and his x continue to be on good terms and do not pit against each other for the kids. My son always says the love is there they just can not live together. 1 Quote Link to comment
FearofH2O Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 Merry Christmas to all. I will try to catch up this week. Making fourth big meal in five days. Shopping was not so good this year. Hopefully can send some late gifts. Feel bad about oldest son's girlfriend. Although she has been traveling since a week before Christmas. Quote Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted December 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 Fear! Great to see you. Hope you are doing well. Quote Link to comment
FearofH2O Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 I'm ok thanks. My husband needs a lot of help lately. What the heck, I do too. I got to the last gala , as I believe, I posted here but try not to drive as much. Although I haven't bought a ticket yet, will try to get to the tour near Raleigh. Not eager to drive to Charlotte so will probably miss that one. Glad to see you all still here. I'll try and do better. 1 Quote Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted December 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Good to hear from you Fear. I knew your husband wasn't doing so hot, but know that I've been worried about you. One of my friends got tickets for me and her to the Waukegan show -- row L. Not particularly close, but you know, I'm OK, with that! I've been fortunate to see Clay up-close and personal several times, and I'm happy to just be in the room! (OTOH, for the Bloomington, Illinois show...I'll try to be as close as possible, even if my husband is like "AAAAAGH!"). Quote Link to comment

ldyjocelyn Posted December 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 I am very impressed with Clay's episode so far -- and Clay's intelligence! He definitely knows his Presidents! (And he also knows electricity -- I bet he's happy he renovated that house!) 1 Quote Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted December 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 And the show is over. For some reason, it was only 46 minutes in length, they skipped several commercial breaks. Weird. Spoiler: Clay helped the contestant win $20,000! 1 Quote Link to comment
FearofH2O Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 Clay is a natural for quiz shows. Even if he is not sure of the answer, he is great at using the process of elimination. 2 Quote Link to comment
beanerknits Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 Format of show could use some streamlining, BUT Clay's performance was veryvery impressive, and so fun to watch. He also added several humorous quips, especially the one about 'always coming in second'! Quote Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted December 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 Now that I've had some time to marinate after watching the show: I think I would actually enjoy this show, even if Clay wasn't on it. Having said that, I also think it would really depend on the celebrities that they have each time. With Clay's episode, I only knew Clay, Chrissy Metz, and Loni Love (who I LOVE). I think with the right mix of celebrities, it would truly be fun. I also didn't find the whole premise of the show that confusing. I've read that others did find it confusing, I'm just not one of them. Regarding Clay: I'm THRILLED that he was the "smartest man in the room." I'm sure there had to be some people watching going "Clay Aiken as an expert on Presidents?!?!?!?!" But then he showed them. I'm also very happy that the final contestant picked him for the final question and that she won! Quote Link to comment
