Sapphire Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I put up some new wallpaper I had made and not uploaded, so here's the link: http://bestofclay.com/gallery/newest1024 I'm too lazy to link each new one individually, at least right now. *G* I'm really looking forward to the concerts and new pictures ::hint hint:: ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelleyC Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 You know, I think he's leaning back in that picture because if he tried to sit up straight he'd be permanently injured, if you know what I mean. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> BWAH!!! You're right... and we all know that Clay has said he wants to have children, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest huskerfalcon Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 (edited) He was so purdy then.. and now in this TVG shoot... he's a man, and just totally GAH... but all in all, he's such a chameleon. (does this sentence even make sense? ) I can't believe this week is finally here! Edited July 25, 2005 by huskerfalcon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couch Tomato Posted July 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Bottlecap For the last 6 months I've been saying i need to clear space on my hard drive.... did I do it? NO! I guess I have a few more days to clean up my house. I'm really pathetic. I don't want to wait until end of August to see Clay. That seems SO far away. But it just doesn't make sense to fly east twice in 30 days time. Sigh. I'll be good. I'll be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skatejoy Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Yeah, I'm trying hard to figure out a "sane" way to explain to friends and family two plane trips in 30 days. They aren't long plane trips, and with the price of gas, flying is actually very economical. Still - I look insane. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are there no direct flights from Indiana to Buffalo?? I'm getting excited and a wee bit nervous... I don't fly well, and I still have a lingering sinus problem from last week. So when ShelleyC picks me up at the airport on Friday, it could be with assistance. Heh. I even looked up the weather in Buffalo...in the 80's! much better than it is HERE today, which is just a few degrees short of you-know-where, only much more humid, I think. This is INDIANA, it's not supposed to be over 100 degrees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAndre Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Clear space on one's hard drive? One can actually clear space on a hard drive? What a concept! Not that I plan on doing that as long as I can continue to daisy chain USB 160 GB La Cies! That's perfectly normal. Really. Though I am tempted by the 250 GB Firewire. Eeee! Some of the Uganda stuff is starting to trickle out...UNICEF Ambassador Clay Aiken Returns from Northern Uganda's Conflict Affected Districts... and his tour has made Web India!!

Couch Tomato Posted July 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Clear space on one's hard drive? One can actually clear space on a hard drive? What a concept! Let me enlighten you. It takes real skill to prepare the hard drive for a Clay Aiken onslaught of clack. Before I bought my new computer ...I had maybe a 3 GB hard drive. Yeah...I'll let the laughter die down. So first thing you take out is stupid crap that is meaningless to you. Old work files for companies you no longer work for. Old spreadsheets that contain your personal bills and payment schedules. You know..useless crap. Once that's all gone, you start taking out programs that mean absolutely nothing to you. Programs you haven't used in the 4 years you had the computer. Next, you start taking out kind of fun stuff that you don't play that much and won't miss like "You Dont Know Jack" and the first few versions of Adobe something or other. And do I really need that Power Point? OK, so now things start to get tricky. Because basically you're getting down to clack and you don't want to erase that. So you start looking at what Clack you already have saved on disc somewhere and you delete that. That's an ugly picture, don't need that. Oops got AI2 on tape anyway...DELETE. And you also stem the tide by saving stuff to discs and deleting..... when you get to the point where you delete so much that your anti-virus doesn't work and you get all kind of "that program is missing, put in your windows installation discs to find" messages when you reboot it's time to buy a new computer!! And then after a year you'll discover the process begins again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skatejoy Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I know the feeling. I bought a new laptop in January and already had to do a big clean off. The 250 GB external hard drive helps though. I have a feeling that within the year the "stackable" feature of the hard drive will become more useful.

diamondjake2001 Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I use to have a laptop & 2 external harddrives that totaled 200GB. Last March I bought a new desktop computer with 500 GB & I'm still using the externals for a total of 700GB. The big question is how long before I fill these puppies up. Hee I love Clack way tooooo much. I'm glad to see the Uganda info beginning to trickle out. It must have really been hard for Clay to see the children suffering at the hands of other people. The trip to Banda Aceh had to have been so much easier to comprehend. In Banda Aceh people were working together & they had hope. I would imagine the children in Uganda have little hope. It had to have been gut wrenching for Clay. On to happier thoughts. The tour starts in ~76 hours! EEEEEEEEEEEE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAndre Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Eeeeeeeeeeeeee! Possible new song courtesy of the CB and CH: BACK FOR MORE (Title Code: 321596690) Writers: DANE ANTHONY DEVILLER KIPNER STEPHEN ALAN SEAN HOSEIN Performers: CLAY AIKEN Variations: (none found) Publishers/Administrators: SONIC GRAFFITI % EMI APRIL MUSIC INC C/O EMI MUSIC PUBLISHING 810 SEVENTH AVE NEW YORK , NY, 10019 Tel. (212) 830-2036 ASCAP website No variations! Does this mean an ORIGINAL that no freakin' brit boy band did first? YAY! As for hard drive space, my problem is that I'm actually using one of the external hard drive as backup for the other because I think I tried that "deletion of clack" you mentioned, and I vaguely remember awakening after my brain rebooted. So if I downloaded it once, I've got it on a hard drive, a back-up hard drive and back-up DVDs. No, I don't have issues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ansamcw Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Short Clay blog entry on the OFC.... He says he is excited about the tour, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.... I am so excited too... just to remind people we will be following the concert on Thursday...making commentaries in the Tour thread and make reporst on the cellstream. We are also asking people to share their experiences in the tour recap thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.O.L. Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 (edited) In just a few short days I'll be watching the Pasty One perform live! I am getting so fangurly again. I just can't wait. I read Clay is not selling as well as he did last year (not that he's selling badly) but I want to get a good seat. But frickin TomsRiver is price gouging something horrid. To get a good seat they now want you to basically purchase the tix, a premium upgrade, general admission into TomsRiverfest AND a fast pass something or another. I'm going to be there the whole 4 days, so it is really racking up the charges. Bastards. Edited July 25, 2005 by S.O.L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skatejoy Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 The Toms River guy came from Musikfest where last year he cut his teeth on price gouging Clay fans. Thus the drop in attendance for Clay at Musikfest this year. I'm guessing this week's Friday afternoon beer and cynicism meeting will be cancelled and replaced with champagne for all (or coffee for those who slept on the streets on NYC for GMA and are heading up to Mohegan Sun).

playbiller Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Well, I must really know how to pick them. I went to Musikfest last year and I am going to Tom's River this year. I was luck with Musikfest as other people always bought the tickets adn I was in the group that lucked out last year and got 6 row. So this year, my sister and I were talking about getting the sponsor tickets to Toms River and I just decided it was too much money. We were going to have to stay in line to get good seats, but TRfest screwed up my tickets and to respond to the anger I vented at them, they upgraded me to supporter, so I am happy. It did not hurt that the person I talked to was from my home town and lives just down the street from me. SO the only line I should have to wait on is GMA - anyone else waiting there this year?

bottlecap Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 New music, and a new tour book with purty pictures - Awhoo Hooo! I remember paging through the first scans of the NAT Tour book, and actually losing my ability to breathe when I saw the Tux in the Grass picture. Based on the quality of what we've already seen on the OFC, I'm not sure sure if any of the Colorado pictures, which I'm assuming would be used in the Jukebox Tour Book, are likely to elict the same response. Here's hoping, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm telling myself that they probably reserved the best JBT pictures for the program. *crosses fingers and toes* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skatejoy Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I was just thinking of the merchandise today.

Here are some screencaps from the Access Hollywood preview (not sure where they came from originally, but I got them on CH): Clay looking mighty fine while rehearsing More Clay rehearsing - is that a LEISURE SUIT!?

Ansamcw Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Here is a description of the Showbiz Tonight interview: Just saw it! He was great. He said they had an independent auditor announce that they spend .85 cent of every dollar on their charity!!!! He said it's probably true that BAF only spends 1/3 on grants because that is not their main focus. He said they (his critics) failed to take into account the Camps, Able to Serve scholarships, etc! He looked great. Angela, Quina and Jacob were with him and all decked out in very unusual costumes or something. They said he will be doing Barry Manilow, Bee Gees, Sam Cook on his tour and said he is still as popular as ever. Then some yahoo came on and said that chartiable contributions to celebrity foundations are a terrible waste of money because they always fizzle outl Clay said he was very disappointed in the reports because he's trying to do so much good. He said it's unfortunate that people are only interested in the sensational. He said BAF raised more money in the last 5 days than they have in the last 2 months.
