GOOD MORNING.
AS WE WAIT FOR NEWS IF THE NIP HAS WON CHRISTIE'S COOKIES, HERE'S A GREAT ESSAY FROM CLAY AIKEN NEWS NETWORK.
Seven years ago, most Clay fans had never checked out an internet fan site or posted on a message board. Little did we know that doing so would forever change out lives.
Total strangers who shared a common interest now are life long friends.
I am, at this moment, sitting in a small restaurant in the Outer Banks of North Carolina with two of my dearest Clay friends. We are spending a few days together before heading to Raleigh for the Gala. The three of us met via the internet over 5 years ago on a popular Clay fan site. Through the years, we became close as we shared our passion for one very special young man.
