I can't sleep.
I'm happy y'all could hear the concert! Sorry you could hear me laughing...
He cracked me up, many times. Clay is a roller coaster. He makes you laugh, makes you cry, makes you shmoopie, makes you mad, makes you want to stand out in the dark for an hour just to feel the breath of his hands as he passes by in a blur.
No bus line, for security reasons. I see that Mary blogged it.
But like I told Philly, there was a line of folks down the road in front of the venue waiting to wave at the bus. Amazing!
The laughing during "Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word" was because everytime he sang "What have I got to do to make you love me?" and "What do I do to make you want me?" resulted in a huge cheer, then laughter.
He took Quiana's hand during "Because You Loved Me" on the line "you were my inspiration." Very sweet.
He drank a whole can of Dr Pepper backstage and then burped twice before singing "Lover All Alone." He did say "excuse me" though.
He talked. A lot.
The "I'm not cool" bit was hilarious. He said he had a confession. He said he was going to tell the thing that everyone at work probably asked us about him, the thing that everyone has heard and talked about, and that he wanted to wait and break the news here at home...I....[pause] am not cool!" So brilliant.
Anyway, I have to go force myself to sleep now.
Perchance to dream.
Thanks for your work here Philly Girl!
