Penny Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hello all!! I'm cpnina, known also as Penny, I'm a 57 year old lady from Maryland. I post mainly at LBFCA, sometimes at Claymaniacs, sometimes the OFC. Clay had me from Wildcard Night. I'm married but we have separate lives so I am free to do what I want in Claydom as long as I can afford it! Lately money's TIGHT because of dental bills--YUK--but I am planning on seeing Himself in Spamalot next year, and I've seen him somewhere every tour he's done so far except this one.. Nice to meet y'all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couch Tomato Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hi Penny, Welcome to FCA... I also know about the money tight thing. But fortunately for all of us..Clay keeps on chugging along and there will always be that next thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I had been told about FCA by a friend who posts at CV and since keeping up with CV can take up so much time I rarely got over here. But I was reading here a couple of days ago really enjoying the tone of the posts. I have been totally addicted to everything Clay since June of 06 much to the detriment of my garden and housekeeping but oh what joy he has brought into my life. Still grieving for my DH of over 30 years, a sweet loving man and waiting for the results of the investigation of a medical situation which, in it worst case scenario, would leave me totally disabled, both mentally and physically, I was spending my evenings surfing the net. I would fall into bed exhausted but then able to sleep, my brain too tired to go thru all the what if's. So one night I happened to come across a video of Clay singing...one of the AI2 videos..and I wish I could remember which one it was and that was it. Who is this beautiful young man with the wonderful voice? There followed hours of video watching, blog reading (some of which made me heart sick) and I staggered off to bed at 4:00am, dazed and amazed. There followed more investigation and a growing feeling which I found puzzling. Never had I felt this way about a singer and here I was, a grandmother of 5, feeling like a teenager, a randy teenager at that. After days of downloading videos, magazine articles and pretty well anything else I could find, I discovered fan boards and found a place for myself at the LBFCA, a place which understood this mixture of lust and maternal feelings. Since then CV has been the board that I visit pretty well daily. For the following three months I would fall asleep at night with his voice in my ears, when I gardened, he was with me, when I woke in the morning his voice was singing in my heart. He got me through a rough patch. My children think my fandom is cute and are glad that I am enjoying life again. I have told a few friends and they too see what a difference there is in my attitude toward life but....there are those to whom I will not speak of Clay because of what I know will be their judgment of him and me. That's their loss. Monday I am flying to Minneapolis to attend the two concerts and at times it still seems so incredible that I would be doing this , let alone just a few days before Christmas. ETA I see that I am displayed as a dog walker. I don't know how that got on there or how to remove it. I love dogs and if I had one I would certainly walk it but I can't say it's a great interest at this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or else. Actually, that is the default setting based on number of posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couch Tomato Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hi Lotus..welcome to FCA... As DJS said..dog walker is just the little status set up for newbies. Don't worry soon enough you'll be Clay's bodyguard. I'm also going to Minneapolis and looking forward to everything but the cold weather!!

playbiller Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Welcome Lotus. The only danger here is being the butt of someone's joke and DJS can be very baaad or very goood depending how you look at it. If he fandom is not fun, what is it? So you get to know us I am including a picture of me now (except with dog not cats) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playbiller Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hey, tink. I had front row seat only once when Iwon a ticket, but then I spent too much time looking at shoes. Maybe I can't deal with front row, not everyone can. I had from row seats for the Idol show on broadway and that was downright unpleasant, I kept looking at shoes becaue my eyes were not on a good level to stare straight ahead, if you know what I mean. Sometimes it is good to sit back and just enjoy clay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIFAN Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hi All Just wanted to introduce myself. Have been reading and enjoying this board for several years. Like you, I tend to get upset when fans use these boards as an opportunity to criticize every little thing Clay does. My reasons for joining a board are to support Clay, to celebrate him and to communicate with others who love him as much as I do. He is such a gift (and not too bad on the eyes, either!!). I probably would have just gone on lurking, but the comment someone quoted from another board about the unclipped backflap just sent me right over the edge!! I never even noticed the backflap--guess I was too focused on those broad shoulders straining away on the jacket's fabric. ( Funny I remember reading about a similar incident back during the early part of AI2 when the backflap was unclipped and people seemed to think it was charming at the time.) Have not been able to get into the OFC--guess they are not taking new members right now. But, from what I read here sounds like there may be a lot of negativity over there--not sure I have the stomach for it. I will keep trying, though, because I really want to be able to read those blogs and next time I'd like to try for a meet and greet. Have been lucky enough to go to each concert once--starting with NAT in Rhode Island--last one was CITH at Mohegan. May play the game of "What's Your Favorite," but not sure I'll be able to choose--have loved them all. Not sure the intro. was supposed to be this long, but when it comes to Clay, I tend to get a little carried away. RIFAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
