Hi Pamela, Kat, Tiffany & Belly

Keep those great pictures coming.  I'll be in and out tonight--many things to do but I'll try to keep up.

Let's have a great time.

Barbara/NC

Hey Barbara

Me too - but we have a bunch of people there and two lucky meet and greeters!

By all accounts, last night's show was incredible!  I believe there were more tickets sold for tonight than for last night or tomorrow night, so it should also be a great show as well!

hey belly,barbara :wave
i know i so want to be there to!!!

wants some more??
you got it!!!

(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a375/ClayBrettsgirl2006/iaspotlightlovershirtgrabin.jpg) spicy hott!!!

Hope they show him the love and respect they did for him last night.

I listened to the cellstream and heard Judy say after her meeting Clay, he's so handsome. I love him.  :lol

i hope so!! why dispoint our sexy clay??

Hey everyone!  :wave(http://www.claymaniacs.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/promoposter1.jpg)

Wooh, sexy is just the *start* of all he is.  I wish he could truly see what *we* see in him!

Belly- Clay said in an interview today he still doesn't get why we see him sexy. We gotta set it to him straight.  :slick

:thud  :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :drool

(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a375/ClayBrettsgirl2006/yummytug.jpg)
that is sooo true!!!

Hi Cellcert Groupies!   :wave

We'll just wait here until somebody can get access to the cellstream!     :cheer

Speaking of William Joseph,  (well, so we weren't) he is talented and handsome and very personable.   He "fits" so well with what we expect at a Clay concert and/or event!   In Chicago, he hung around outside forever after the concert and posed for pictures and autographed things!

Just saying  . . .

Got a call from the venue. Very crowded looks sold out. ClayfaninVa used Scarlett's camera last night center up front

and got the entire concert. Jojoct was filming but they stopped her in the middle of DSIAFC

The ornaments are all sold out, but they are selling the ones from other concerts that were left for $10.  

(http://www.claymaniacs.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/EYECANDY.jpg)

Hey Barb. Heard a lot of great things about people meeting WJ.

Thanks Pamela for the info. That's great to hear. I got to see the whole thing of Jojoct's DSIAFCD last night. Loved the Hug is warmer when you're in it with Quianna.  :slick  Wonder if they don't allow video cameras tonight too.

Tiffany, the video thing was a misunderstanding.  It's a venue policy, but they didn't know Clay allowed it.  All was resolved last night!  YAY!

The concert should begin momentarily!

Oh, by the way - a friend of mine saw Merry Christmas With Love at Target the other day, and she called and asked me, "who is that on the cover of Clay's CD?"  :lol

(http://www.claymaniacs.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/lookinup2.jpg)

Thank you Pamela.  Great news. :cheer2

Hey barb :wave

Pamela....thanks for the info!!!

Hey Ladies, wonder who he is looking at? :dunno :lol
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a375/ClayBrettsgirl2006/PeopleInTheNews098.jpg)

Hmmmm - I dunno - maybe it's a good thing he doesn't recognize himself as *so incredibly hot I would never be able to keep my hands off you*

In a way, I hope he *does* stay this clueless.

He sure knows what we like to see and teases us but I understand what you are saying.

Or that he at least keeps saying he is.   :lmao

(http://www.claymaniacs.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/tourbook7.jpg)

 :wave    Hi Barb

I think it's because he was a nerd all his life and wants to stay that way.

Hello, Barbara !  :wave

Pamela... :lmao and hott pic!!!

here is one from last night!!!
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a375/ClayBrettsgirl2006/All20Black203.jpg)

 :wave Hi guys!

Hey Lorrie

(http://www.claymaniacs.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/tourbook3.jpg)

Lorrie- Lorraine and Judy are at tonight's concert too so we won't hear about it til tomorrow. Tammy didn't say much when they called her. Just that it went by fast and they couldn't hug him or kiss him.

Thanks Tiffany.

sweet flashing policy thats good!!!

pamela... :lmao

(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a375/ClayBrettsgirl2006/Shoes.jpg)

(http://www.claymaniacs.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/tourbook5.jpg)

Cute pic Kat. Never seen that one before.

Welcome Lorrie. If you heard from the cellstream last night, JUdy said Clay made fun of her accent. Would love to had seen that.  :lol

Pamela- Great updates. They wanted to go for the gusto. I heard some Meet and Greeters have had hugs. I sure hope they did too.

Wow, they like jazzy Jingle Bells in NYC

(http://www.claymaniacs.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10042/IMG_0505.jpg)

Christmas Serenade....Sssiigghhhhh.......(Actually, Season of Romance!)

It looks like a party, yeah a Christmas party.....

It was a party, a Christmas dance actually!

She smiles at him, he says hello
They stand beneath the mistletoe
Embarassed by the ackward circumstance.

Oh, those beautiful high notes in this song! 

(http://www.claymaniacs.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10042/IMG_0378.jpg)

I never have *any* complaints about his hair - or anything else!!

He sounds great!

Hey Glory. Great to see you. Glad you are feeling better.  :hugg They are on Season for Romance.

Hello Everybody! :wave Got home a couple of hours ago - great concert last night (Not Clay - Gretchen Wilson/Big & Rich), and spent all day running around with grandchildren, so I won't be here long - I need some sleep!  :lol I see that we will have to wait until sometime tomorrow for meet and greet picutres and reviews - can't wait for that! Just wanted to say Hi, and have a great cell cert. I would love to see another JNT concert - one is not enough!

I heard you were easy! That's OK...me too.  :wink

Ah....romantic Clay! 

ooohh, it'll get you
if you give it half a chance

With a full house, this is going to be incredible. Clay always feeds off the crowd.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas....

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us
Once more


Just perfect. So gentle and tender.  

Beverly and Tommy dancing.

Hello all :wave

There's predicted to be some sort of a snow and or ice storm here in the midwest...suppose to start after midnight tonight. Don't know how many inches or how it'll impact the electric here so if i'm not on tomorrow it's because of the electricity...my parent's just came back from relative's house and said they had a hard time just walking into the house with all the ice...so we'll see!

:wave

luvmyclay....spicy...hott...pic!!!!

This crowd is even louder than last night - boy they're really going to make it hard for us to compete tomorrow night!

Oh, how nice !! The audience applauded half way through the Allison/Clay duet ! How wonderful for her. This really is too lovely.  

Jerry - it was 80 degrees here today, and is supposed to get down to 30 by Tuesday night - we don't have to worry about snow, though - after one or two cold nights, it always goes back up into the 70s or low 80s - that is our winter here  :lol

Aw that is so nice of your mom Kat.

The stream is really coming in better than ever!!!!  He sounds beautiful.

Awww How sweet for Alison. She's a great singer.

so true pamela!!!

yes i know!!!! *jumps in circles* :lol

 :wave Hi back to everyone who said Hi.

Pamela - since I did not listen to any downloads, I was shocked at Alison's voice when I saw the concert - she is great - a perfect blend with Clay's voice.

Cooooookkkiiieeesss!!!

And

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire -- so poignant.

amazing how the crowd is so quiet during the vingnettes....

(http://www.claymaniacs.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10042/IMG_0437.jpg)

EDIT -  :wave to you, too, Jerry - hope you had a fun birthday

Angie's singing I miss you most at Christmas Time -
Her interpretation of the anguish of loss is heartwrenching.

I love this song by Angela - in person she sounds wonderful and
I really love her voice. TCS was too die for! I really hope some
of the people from the early shows are there to see him - if
people just see in concert they know what a wonderful talent he
is!  

(http://www.claymaniacs.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/normal_21galrow.jpg)

Celebrate Me Home... sounds beautiful.

I couldn't agree more.

Lorrie- I love CMH. Can't wait to see it live. I learned the words.

We've got a lot of Claymaniacs there tonight.   Gwenn, Christie, Micki, Becky, Lorraine and who else is with Lorraine?

I have got to go - can hardly stay awake -

Glory - so good to see you back.

This is the beginning of a good week - Clay selling out in New York, and he will be on T.V. lots of times (appearances up to 4 so far, I think!)  :purpbana Have a good night, everyone.

HI to everybody who has joined recently.

I have been jumping back and forth between the cellcert and doing a little Christmas shopping.  I am shopped out for tonight.

PAMELA... THAT PICTURE WITH HIS FACE IN THE SHADOWS ----  OMG

Lorrie- I love NY but only been there a few times. Be fun to see him in NY. I want to see him with a lot of Claymaniacs going too like Raliegh for the next tour or his last concert like AC sounded like a blast.

I heard a little growl.

Night Glory. Take it easy.  :hugg

AC was a lot of fun, and so was Raleigh for the NAT.

night glory :hugg
tiffany...wow! but they are still sexy!!

Good Night Glory Sweet Clay Dreams.

Hi all!  Just popping in for a few minutes.  Mr. D and I are watching a rerun of "Medium", have a roaring fire in the fireplace and I'm sitting in the recliner with my laptop.  Life is good!  (I know, I'm kind of simple  :bduh)

So glad to hear that NYC is appreciating Clay.  Frankly, I was very concerned that Clay would not be well received in NY, as they have the reputation of being too sophisticated for somebody like Clay.  Apparently I was way off on this one!

God bless internet shopping, eh, Barbara!  :bouncy

So excited for you, Tiffany, on your upcoming concerts.  Unfortunately Baltimore isn't going to happen for me, after all.... :bang

FRANKIE: I WANT your KIND OF WINTERS UP HERE. I'D MUCH RATHER HAVE 2 INCHES OF SNOW FALL INSTEAD OF ICE...BUT IT'S FREEZING RAIN, NOT OFFICIALLY AN "ICE STORM" LIKE I PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED...BUT ONE NEVER KNOWS!!

GLORY: WELL, FROM YOUR own WORDS YOU HAVE A CRIMP IN YOUR POSTS...WHEN YOU do GET UP AND AT 'EM I HOPE YOU SEE A CHIROPRACTOR FOR IT. MAYBE A CLAY-ROPRACTOR??

BELLY AIKEN: :wave I RARELY GET "OUT" MUCH ON CLAYMANIACS. I BASICALLY STAY IN A COTTAGE KNOWN AS THE OCD IN THE MEMBER'S CORNER SECTION OF THE SITE. I HAVE MY OWN PADDED CELL IN THE OCD THAT WOODSTOCK HAD BUILT JUST FOR ME :wave

hey dev :wave

glad to see ya!!!

Hi Thea!  I'm home alone, and that's always good.  :wink

I have the Charlotte concert from last year on DVD. Sounded like such a fun time.

Hi Thea and I am sorry you will nt get to go to the Baltimore concert.

Tiffany- Congrats on 13,100 posts.

Hee - I'm actually somewhat of a recluse as well.  Perhaps we could be cell mates!  LOL

 :wave everyone! I had "one of those days at work"....I haven't heard from college boy since he left......it was such a bad day till now. I came home and found out that my wonderful mother had cleaned out both of my rooms. :cry  :hugg


I'll be in attendance for a short while....my mom and I are going to hang out. How's Clay tonight.

Hey Thea.  :hugg

Jerry, I'm glad you came out to read your birthday thread!  :lol  Woody's skit was a great gift!    :clap

Hey Emily! :wave
Hey Thea! :wave

haha thats hott

awww thea...im sorry that you cant go!!
hey emily :wave

Emily- I am sorry you have not had a very good day and I am sorry you had a bad day at work.

Hello Jerry, Glory, Dev, Frankie, Tammy, Pamela, ok, out of breathe - how about just HELLO EVERYBODY  :wave
So glad to hear NY is receiving Clay with such enthusiasm!!!

Have we had to break out the bail money yet?  :smile

:wave Hi everyone!

Hi Kat, Lorrie, AC, Pamela, and everybody else!  :wave  And Glory, it's so good to see you posting on a cellcert.  Hope you're feeling better day by day.  :comfort



Sounds like a party to me, Lorrie!!! Especially if you're able to hear the concert live via cellstream.  Enjoy!  :bouncy

Hey Thea and thanks. Next Tuesday and Wednesday.  :bouncy I'm sorry you can't come.  :hugg I know what you mean cause I remember last year when he played MSG they were awful with flashes and it was a lot of screamers. It's great to hear it's a much better audience for NY this year.

Somebody gave my sister tickets to the Camden, NJ concert on the 11th and she is thrilled to death!!!  Does anybody know anything about the venue?

hey lori :wave

hey messa :wave

haha messa your funny!!!

hey wvclayfan :wave

One of the things that is the best part of going to these concerts (besides Clay of course) is getting together with all the people.  It's so much fun to meet everyone.  I was lucky enough to go on two different trips where a lot of people from a lot of different places got together.  It's so much fun!

Hey Lindsey, Meesa, Lori and Emily.

And, it's extremely clear tonight.  We can hear everything!  Even during intermission we can hear them talking, but they don't think we can.  :roflmao

Hi Lori, Lindsay, and Messa!

Pamela...told you i bring my brettyboy :wink
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a375/ClayBrettsgirl2006/070104_brett_logo.jpg)

Lorrie- The only time I went with a lot of Claymaniacs to a concert was Merrillville for the JBT thanks to you.  :wink Had so much fun. It is special to share seeing Clay in person with each other.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/HulasMom/7fc98f3e.jpg)

awwww miss jacob!!!

Greetings to Meesa and Woodstock!


Tiffany, it was very special to share the Merrillville experience with you.  :hugg  Wish I could have endured waiting in the bus line afterwards, but I had sore feet from those ridiculous shoes I was wearing!!!  Never again!!!!

i love that song "o holy night"

Meesa- Wanted to tell you I watched the DVD last night. It was sweet to see the Claymaniac We are family montage again. Love all the other montages too and thanks for putting my 3 montages in there.  :hugg

Woody:

I LOVED your skit to Jerry on his birthday thread - it sounded sooooo like him ---  are you sure he didn't write it for himself??? :roflmao

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/HulasMom/tryagain.jpg)

You're welcome!  :hugg

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/HulasMom/0091clayd.jpg)

ooo sock report *dies* lol

Indy was great! I met a lot of people there. I met some in Kansas City too, met Sarah in Council Bluffs and saw Alli again.

BELLY AIKEN: YOU AND I AS CELL-MATES! Hmmmm, BEING RECLUSIVE FOR THE MOST PART I BELIEVE WE'D BOTH INHABIT PADDED CELL-BLOCK #10 FOR A RECLUSIVE LIFESTYLE...IT'S REALLY NOT SO BAD IN THE OCD'S PADDED CELL...WOODSTOCK SPOON-FEEDS ME MY DAILY DOSE OF CHUNKY BEEF STEW THROUGH THE LITTLE PEEP HOLE IN THE DOOR...BUT SHE FORGETS SOMETIME TO BLOW ON THE SOUP TO MAKE SURE IT'S NOT TOO HOT. SHE MAKES AIRPLANE SOUNDS AS SHE'S BRINGING THE SPOON TO MY MOUTH BECAUSE OF MY DHL ASSOCIATION. SHE'S SO CLEVER!!

PAMELA: OH YES...I VENTURED OUT OF THE COMFY AND COZY CONFINES OF THE OCD TO READ THE BIRTHDAY THREAD...PLUS I POST THE AMAZON NUMBERS EVERY WEEK DAY... :lol

HELLO MAMA DEV; LINDSAY; EMILY; LORI; BARBARA; AND ANYONE ELSE...

Thanks.   :lol  To tell you the truth, it was a LOT of fun to write.   :purpbana

I am listening to my CD of JNT05 ...............so I am being doubly Clayed...... :roflmao  Nothin the matter with that!!!

Hey Pamela! I may have recruited a few more people for our board tonight.  :smile

scripture

The First Noel

I DID think Jacob was hot.  but I don't miss him in this configuration.  I wish him well in his solo career,  but - meh - I don't think he'll be a star.

Meesa- Wish I went to Indy. Gotta go to where a lot if people are going next time for the next tour like we said maybe Raliegh.  :wink

Sorry guys, but now we're watching the Country Music Awards and I must say.....Kenney Chesney is HOTTTTTT!

But this guy's even hotter!
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/clandy/ChicagoJNT05/IMG_0512.jpg)

I recruited some more people for a Raleigh trip too.  :lol

You got that right Thea.  When you live in a small town where just about all we have left is Wal-Mart you do what you gotta do.  It also saves gas because my only other option is going to Raleigh (which I have to do from time to time).

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/clandy/ChicagoJNT05/IMG_0497.jpg)

thanks pam love the shout out!!!yeah i miss him to!!!
dev...omg I AGREE 100%%%% HE IS HOTT!!!

Have to say this too. We were wrapping at Borders again and all the volunteers bought LTS. They only have a few copies left!  :purpbana

I'm definitely up for Raleigh!!

I've got extra tickets.... Do you need them????   I'm hoping... this is an unpaid solicitation.  :lol

Pammy,
Enjoy your "bite".......... :naughty
Thanks for bringing us this thread!!!  :hugg

Meesa- Yeah!!!! :cheer2 I think NC is going to be my summer vacation.  :wink

Thea- I saw Kenny Chesney in concert this summer. Doesn't do anything for me like Clay makes me  :thud.

My sentiments exactly, Belly.  And I also wish Jacob the best.

gosh soooo dreamy and he is MINE!!!

You've been talking to Clandy haven't you?  :lol

Thea.  :thud You trying to kill me?


 :wave Jerry, Woody, Tiffany, Sara, Kat, Pamela, Belly and anyone I missed!!!!  :para

That's great to hear Meesa.

Lorrie- Wish I could go for this tour but it's so close to Christmas.

Here ya go.... no Jacob.

Sorry to dash your hopes, Lorrie, but I think we're all talking about a trip to Raleigh next summer!   :lol

love the pic!!!

We lost the stream!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I'm going next tour... do you think my tickets will work.  :para

Correct Thea and her and Clandy have been tempting Meesa for this one.   :lol

:cry

Yes, next summer is what I was referring to...although I have to admit - I have been looking at airfare costs for *this* year - unfortunately no can do...

I definately have to be there to see you try that one!  :roflmao

Thea - My daughter really likes Kenny Chesny!!!  But she is seeing Rascal Flatts tonite.

MrILCLaymate sure made a hit with his Chicago pix, huh????????

That sucks. Hope you can get it back.

WOODSTOCK!!! HELLO!! WE MUST HAVE BEEN POSTING AT THE SAME TIME!!

LORI: THE THOUGHT did CROSS MY MIND TO WRITE MY own BIRTHDAY SKIT BUT I SCRATCHED THE IDEA. BUT I did INCORPORATE A BIRTHDAY-TYPE ROUTINE IN THE SCOTT AND GRACE SKIT I WROTE ON THE OCD LAST NIGHT BEFORE THE CELL-CERT.

i hope he comes to Oklahoma for the next tour!!! :cross

So far, no go.   That sucks.. it was unbelievably clear tonight.

wow that totally sucks!!

Woody- Hope your daughter has fun tonight.

Yes! :notworthy for Mr.Clandy's pics. TRuly Gorgeous.

Woh, he sure did!  Excellent job MrILClaymate!  I wish MRBelly would be as enthusiastic!

I hope a lot of us can get together in Raleigh.  I have not had the opportunity to meet anyone yet and would love to put some faces with the names.  I had an opportunity to meet some people in NH for the JBT but I never could find them.  Maybe I'll have better luck next time.

I was there, but never met you.

From CH :

Emmanuel is coming in unbelievable tonight! What a voice!

:cry

GREAT NEWS

Mr. Woodstock isn't either, but he is tolerant, so I don't complain.   :wink

Missed meeting you in Chicago!!!!!

CV is running so slow, I can't even get back on to the site.  But, everyone is so disappointed not to be able to hear Emmanuel.

(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a375/ClayBrettsgirl2006/70675af0.jpg)

I met Thea and Woody in Indy.  :hugg

DARN, MAYBE I'LL HAVE TO HANG A SIGN AROUND MY NECK NEXT TIME

Barbara- I'm sure a lot of people will go to Raleigh for this tour and the next one. Love to meet ya and hope you can meet more Claymaniacs too. Don't have a lot of Clay fans that live around here.

Right back atcha!!!  :hugg

I'm sorry guys that you can't hear it anymore. THanks for bringing in the reports.

They better be prepared.  They need the entire RBC Center and I hope they will figure that out.  The Christmas tour doesn't draw as many people as a pop tour.  They better make room for all of us.

 Belly, I assume you're from the Chicago area?  If so, have you looked at flights from the Milwaukee direct to Charolotte on Airtran?  They usually have excellent rates.  In fact, my goldendoodle was shipped from a breeder in Charlotte to Milwaukee via Airtran last April!!!!  But whatever, I'm hoping the rates will be good next summer!

NC Barbara, I know what you mean about having nothing but a Walmart nearby.  Before we moved up to the NW Chicatgo suburbs 4 years ago, we lived in a little town downstate Illinois.  The nearest mall was 20 miles away.  And the nearest Walmart was 10 miles away.  I don't know how I survived----except for Internet Shopping.  LandsEnd.com and the UPS delivery people became my good friends!!! 

I'm surprised it's not sold out. Think it would be special to see the Christmas show with his family there.

From CB :

MDYK.....Simply exquisite......his voice was soaring and loaded with yearning wonder at Mary's magnificent miracle.....loads of screams and applause at the end.......  

From what I understand, there are only upper level seats available.

i think im the only one or close to it that has never met anyone on here!!! i so want to!!

Thanks, don't have many Clay fans in my town either (at lease not that I know of).

Thea: Don't forget that you need to come to Salt Lake next year.  :wink

Absolutely, Lorrie!  Do you happen to know the capacity of the RBC center?  Is it, in fact,  the largest venue in the Raleigh?  Will the Chamber of Commerce at Raleigh be prepared for the massive onslaught of Clayfans???  :eek

Well, you two, I don't even have a WalMart!!!!   :shocking  Closest one is 25 minutes away.  The price you pay for living in a small town...and I am a Chicago native!!!!!

I met Thea, Clandy,Barb, Michelle, Pamela, Johanna, Christie, Gwenn, Micki, Amy and Sunny. Love to meet more of you and spend more time together.

woody!!! omgosh really!! well in carrie underwoods town there aint a wal-mart either!! i think!!

From CB :

Grown Up Christmas Wish......

She's gonna bring the house down again tonight....



Now I bet we have our own little Christmas list. don't we.......  

It's a promise, Emily!   :bouncy  And I may even bring hubby along to Salt Lake, as well!!!  But not to Raleigh---no way--girls just wanna have fun!   :purpbana 

I AGREE.  I HOPE THEY DON'T PLAN TO GO BACK TO CARY AGAIN--IT'S BEAUTIFUL BUT NOT LARGE ENOUGH AND THE STAGE IS TOO LOW.

Here's some Indy group pics!

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/KSChristian4Clay_3/groupshot_1.jpg)

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/KSChristian4Clay_3/indy.jpg)

THANKS FOR THE NEWS ABOUT THE ACM AWARDS BEING ON TONIGHT. I'M NOT WATCHING THEM...BUT I RAN IN AND CAUGHT MOST OF THE MERLE HAGGARD TRIBUTE WHICH I ENJOYED :bouncy

Aww Sweet pictures Meesa and what a great group.

nice pics messa!!!

HEY Y'ALL IF HE COMES TO OKLAHOMA FOR A CONCERT!! I AM SOOOO INVITING Y'ALL TO COME DOWN!!!

:jaw :eek  25 miles away, Woody???  You have my sympathies!!!  And I hope that Walmart is a Super Walmart!!!!

The secret is out....there isn't a WalMart in EVERY town!!!!!!   :roflmao  Life goes on.....  But there IS computer access to Claymaniacs!!!!!!!!   :yes That is more important!!!   :wink

Thanks Kat. You're sweet.

You're not alone, I haven't met anyone yet either.

Kat, you had better warn your parents that they're going to have a houseful of Claymaniacs next summer!   :shappy

Actually I'm in West Mich.  Took the train down to Chi.  we can't get *any*where without at least  *one* plane change.  It's a pain in the u-no-what, I tell you.

I don't know the capacity of the RBC Center, but they aren't using the entire venue for the Christmas tour.  They are using more than 1/2 venue but not full.

your welcome!!!

:roflmao :roflmao :roflmaoyes! omgosh thats why i said if he comes to oklahoma i am so inviting all y'all!!i know but its clay and next year i be driving WOOT!!

Ok... I am in L.A.... and you people may not believe this, but I am freezing my butt off here!@!!

Where do you live?

Weard Lorrie. Stay warm.

Thea - YEP, it is a Super WalMart.   :lol

Meesa - Great Indy pix!!!! I bet we had more people ther than at any other venue.  Don't ya think???

Woody - Probably! I told my friends I wrapped with tonight about our Indy get together.  :lol

I met a lot of those same people, where was that?

Is Clay talking now?

I just threw you a blanket.  We have PLENTY of them in IL.   :lol

Meesa, you need to put names with these pictures.

Lorrie- Merrillville IN I met Thea,Jonanna Barb and Clandy and Wolf Trap in VA I met Pamela and the others.

I think I read that the capacity in the configuration for Clay's show is approx. 10,000.  The last time I checked Ticketmaster, the only two seats together were in the back part of the very top level.  Maybe it will sell out.

LOL... Thanks!  My daughter is at a football game tonight cheerleading.  I'm sure she's freezing her little buns off.

 :wave My mom is taking me out tonight. Goodnight!  :hugg

Oh no, Lorrie.  Has the temperature plummted to 60 degrees?  :wink  Get out the down coats, gloves and hats!  :lol

your not alone...its flippin cold here to in the south!!!

night emily :hugg :wave

I'm wearing a Clay shirt in both pics. The End. :smile

I don't think that's right.  But, I could be wrong.  They aren't using the entire venue.  I know that there are only nose bleed seats left.  So, why doesn't anyone want me good seats? :para

audience is yelling for Clay to do the hip shake, lots of laughter, but I don't think he did it  

About 50 miles east of Raleigh in Wilson

Have a goodnight with your mom Emily.

LOL... I know who you are, it's some of the others I don't know.

DSIAFCD now. Tons of laughter at beginning...I have no idea what happened  

Heeeee - You can trade residences with me *any* time!

hip shake!! hip shake!!!...dont ask im still hyper!!!

I was only in Charlotte and Raleigh.  But, I really do want to come back and see more of NC.  I might even bring my family.  But, not to the concerts.... :roflmao

Shake it Clay baby. Bet he won't either.  :lol

Lorrie- If I was on my own and had money I would take your tickets in a heartbeat.

Meesa ~ I wondered why I was having problems with the stream.  I guess caperkeeper couldn't get the laptop to work??  :cry

No, actually I think it's in the low 50's and very windy!  But, really in the winter it sometimes gets down to the high 20's believe it or not.

Meesa, my friend Brenda and I were at Indy too, but somehow we didn't get into any of the pictures.  :cry

From the CB
he said it was a big undertaking and he may be going home and never leaving the house again

Girls were trying to get the hip move with the drums. Also included Allison

Tomorrow night the dancers will do a special bow

When he did Baby that's a fact he did it goofy, wide eyed.  

Great idea, Meesa!   :lmao  Kind of like the lady in "The Scarlet Letter"  I'm all for them being branded for life!   :cuss

Well, going to watch the news then go to bed.  Hubby and I lead such an exciting life, but believe me, that's about all I can handle these days!!!  :para
