#29: EEEEEEEEEEEE!!! It's really happening!

[Gibby]

Greetings from NYC! YSRN and laughn and I all arrived early yesterday afternoon. We been to Central Park, hit some shops to buy silly touristy stuff (that might just have been me), and in general have walked around a ton.

Spamalot tonight for us! EEEEEEEEEE!

And the Tyra pics?

EEEEEEEE for YSRN, laughn and bottle! Sounds like you're having fun already. Have a great time at the show!

Clay sent me a text! He told me to CALL him.

All you other heifers get off the phone! I keep getting that stupid "all circuits are busy"

He played me a terrible clip of OMWH - he wants to know what I think.

Frankly I think the man needs to take me to dinner first.

Then I will probably give it all up.

I may be easy, but I ain't cheap.

Lord know, Clay isn't cheap either!

Heeeeee, I got the text from Clay, too. Cuz he loves meeeeee. I called him right back, just like he asked, and got right through.

I have 'threaded chat' on my pocket pc, and it categorizes my texts by phone number and name. So, I have 'chats' going with my family members, a couple of friends, and now Clay. Kinda fun to open that chat program see Clay's name amongst all of my other family and friends.

[KAndre]

That man is such a playa!

[ldyjocelyn]

Thanks to KAndre, I left the library for 5 minutes and made my call to Clay. And sadly, I'm both easy AND cheap.

Anyone else add Clay's "phone number" to their cell phone book? *g*

[playbiller]

I am so cheap.. Texting is not on my plan! Calling is, I wonder if I can cough up the 25 cents a text for Clay? I was on the phone asking how to block texting with the service because I have been getting spam on my phone lately and being charged for it. I want to know who sent my phone number to a sex texter!. I know some people think Clay is a sex texter, but it is not Clay who is texting me, sadly, jsut some porn dealer.

[00lsee]

I feel foolish for asking, since I KNOW I saw the original post about the texting somewhere...but now I can't find it. Can someone show me how to get the text from Clay?

Well for starters, you have to live in the USA...grumble, grumble

You have to call 919-883-5111 and get on his list, I believe.

[merrieeee]

Now....back to playing with Clay's widget. I think I should embed it somewhere, too.

Ah! No just too easy

I too have Clay Aiken in my contact list. He's my boyfriend now!!! He loves me best!!

God I really am 12!!!!!

From RCA Marketing

It's the Clay Aiken album hotline

Here's a fun one - call this number with your cellphone: 919.883.5111

You'll hear Clay, you can get on his mobile network and then he gives the first update which is about the album coming out on May 6th.

I called it already, they text you back. If you join, it gives you a website to hear another message from Clay.

RMD didn't say but I wonder if they will use this on the viral marketing campaign.

Now every one can get text messages from Clay!

Kim

Hope that helps. And that's the number you can call to get the latest message as well.

I am sooooo disappointed that picture number #1 is winning in the musicpass poll? According to the email I got from Clay, the artwork for the music pass is usually from the CD cover. That's what I would assume. Which, to me, makes perfect sense. Not to mention it is the best sexiest picture of the three. Why oh why did they let us fans choose? We never get it right. JMHO Oh well.............

Dear Abby,

I am so, like, TOTALLY, in love with this musician! He texts me every day all the time twice and gave me his number! It doesn't seem to be his home number though so I'm thinking he got a special number just for ME! In an AMAZING coincidence, the friends I went to go see him with seem to have hooked up with someone in his group who texted them at the exact same time! My hawt musician guy is clearly very tight with his group for him to let his band members text groupies at the same time he's texting me!

So, Abby, when do you think I should show up on his front porch, all ready to move in?

Signed,

Dear MeNClay4Evah&EvahLOL Anonymous

It is time you took off the blinders and realized that your boyrfriend will never be true to just you. And it sounds like he's texting on several phones at the same time! This is a no no. And it's time you pick your heart up off the black and white floor and realize you'll never be moving into his home. He's a playa for sure!

Abby, Ann,

So, has anybody ever bought the New York City Pass? I'm thinking of getting the 7 day one...

I figure the picture is winning because most fans (including me) like it best. IMO, if RCA thought it was dire that the CD cover be on there, they wouldn't give "us" a choice. I think it's cool that they did.

I bought a 7-day Metro pass when I was in NYC and it was worth it---subways, buses, anytime anywhere.

Didn't do the New York City Pass thingy 'coss sightseeing wasn't really on my list of things I HAD to do...heh.

I haven't called Clay yet....does that make me a bad fan?

That report from KarenEh really gets my blood pressure zooming---when will it end? Surely Clay sees and knows and....

Oh well...I guess if he can survive slimebucket and turdface and all those other media types, he can continue to ignore those within the fandom who've gone over the edge (and not in the fanfic good way )...

So I'm not going to think about that anymore....'coss I have enough going on here at work to make my blood pressure break records without any help from my hobby!

oy.

[ldyjocelyn]

The podcast is finally up, and it is as I suspected. Just imagine some nice lady reading the press release aloud, and you've got the gist of it. When the album will be released. The name of the first radio single. How Clay came up with the theme of the album. Blah blah blah.

But it's still cool that it got picked up that way. I think that is a way for entertainment journalists to get their information without having to read press releases.

I'm still loving the musical tie picture. His look in that one is lethal, and I'll be verra verra happy to have that on my MusicPass.

Dear Claymate #5625875 Abby,

Are you SURE you are being COMPLETELY impartial? My singer boyfriend is WAY DIFFERENT than those other guys - because after watching me constantly licking my lips while watching him on stage, he PERSONALLY sent me a chapstick for $29.95 and some teeny tiny buttons with his picture on them! And the package had MY name on it! And those pictures with that bitch Tyra Banks was hangin' on him wearing nothing but a raincoat didn't really MEAN anything or I'm sure he would have told me about it in my voice mail. You would be SURPRISED at how delusional some people are about my boyfriend!

Anyhoo, I went ahead and played his new podcast backward, and it turns out that if you run the phonetic pronounciation through a large number of translation programs and squint REAL hard, you get "Only you can slurpee me" which tells me he thinks I'm sweeter than sugar in a real artificial way and loves me forever using some strange woman's voice!

So you can get a Metro Pass (which should work really well) but it won't get you any closer to my boyfriend!

The only thing I would suggest is that you have your musician boyfriend wear a condom when he's texting you. You might get pregnant otherwise.

Dear YouAin'tHeardNothingYet Anne,

Clique Cla My hawt singer boyfriend has convinced me that after many days of working hard on Broadway, he has developed an exceptional sense of rhythm and we will be safe texting using nothing but alternate keystrokes...

But do you think he will be satisfied using this sloooooooow technique for our sorta first time?

Mostly sincerely,

BWAH!!!

[ldyjocelyn]

Dear ATrueFanOfUptempoYetDownBeatSingerBoyfriends YouCan'tProveIt'sMeAnonymous.

BEWARE of alternate keystrokes! It could mean that your hawt singer boyfriend is trying to let you know that he's trapped in a woeful record contract. Or it could simply mean that he wants a slurpee. Either way, BEWARE!

Dear YouCan'tProveIt'sMeAnonymous UnfortunateDeludedFan,

BEWARE of alternate keystrokes! It could mean that your hawt singer boyfriend is trying to let you know that he's trapped in a woeful record contract he is involved in other, or alternate relationships. In other words, he may be two, three, four or even 1500-timing you with other fans! Or it could simply mean that he wants a slurpee a hot pocket. Well, we already know you think his - er - jeans pockets are hawt. Either way, BEWARE! Especially beware of supposed 'secrit' messages. Those backward podcasts are like Rorschach Inkblot Tests - everyone sees, or hears, what they want to see or hear.

Sincerely,

Dear JustATadBitSchizophrenic Ann,

You may have a teensy point, as my hawt singer boyfriend has already told me I might not like all of the things he plans for me but I should buy seven copies do them anyway and this reminds me of my not-so-hawt nonsinging boyfriend who was the Oil & Gas Minster in Nigeria who emailed me to send him my bank account number so I could be rich, but I couldn't do that since I had already given all my accounts, credit card numbers and retirement fund to my current hawt singer boyfriend to invest in hair bleach. And besides, he warned me about all the confusing wannabe girlfriends (that suspiciously sounds a little a LOT like you) who would try and convince me to disregard all his declarations of luuuuuuv at $7.99 a copy on iTunes!

Instead of selling the last two pints of my blood, should I just buy some Nice 'n Easy for him?

No need to pay for me, darlin.' I'll go freely.

Oh, I get it.

You sent bottlecap to turn me into someone actually not-so-bitchy.

Heh.

It might be working.
