What a great cell cert. Not many entertainers can reach out through a cell phone, and then again through an internet message board and touch so many people. Clay shines his light on everyone he can, and it reaches us even twice removed from the show. I've never been more in awe of him than I am at this moment.

Obviously, I am emotional again. LOL But I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here at Claymaniacs. Thanks for this board, and thanks for the friendships and kindnesses that happen here. I love you all.

Lord, that was incredible.  Amazing.  And awesome!!!

Thank you tiff for giving so much of your time and energy in sharing all the concert info from the other boards.  We appreciate you very much!  Thank you Linda for being so generous as to share your birthday cellcert with us!  Thank you to everyone who made us swoon with pictures, made us laugh with your humor, and made us feel warm with your friendship.

I never thought that way back on July 8 when we had our first concert thread that they would end up being such a great way to bring us all together.  (Mostly! Laughing)  

Most of all, thank you CLAY for singing to us.  I hope you keep singing to us for a very long time.  We'll be here.

Now I'm going to go have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  Just because.

MWAH!!

So true Kris!!!!

I usually just lurk during the cellcerts b/c my computer is so stinkin' slow that I try to post and I lose 5 pages but since it's the end I just wanted to say thank you to everybody for these cellcerts...They are GREAT!!

How cheesy am I, I actually cried when they said he was crying during or before Invisible.  I have made a decision the next time he goes on tour I am going to a show near where I live and than the last show of the tour also...wherever it is.  AMAZING    

THANK YOU CLAY - WE LOVE YOU!!!  Love    :love2    :love3    Not Worthy

AM SENDING YOU THIS THROUGH LORRAINES COMPUTER (MARILYN)
Lorraine and I got up at 2:00 and we were on the road by 3:15a.m. (after partying with Linda and watching MAP the night before- 2 ½ hours sleep- just enough to fuel us for the adventure ahead.
After about an hour on the road we arrived in Springfield Mass- saw a Dunkin Donut 24/7  store-COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE.  Well we saw someone sweeping, and it was a drive through, so we went to the window and waited, and waited and waited- beeped the horn- no one came. So we decided to go to the McDonalds down the street. Pulled up to the window- heavy accented man said-Be right with you. So we ordered coffees- THANK GOD THAT’S ALL WE ORDERED- because when we pulled around to get our order, this guy in work pants and a brown MUSCLE SHIRT gave us coffee- people, this is a food store, and I’m  sorry but exposed hairy armpits do not belong there!~Lorraine and I were laughing, and he asked if we had a time- I reached into my pocketbook and grabbed one from the bottom- put my arm out the window to give it to him, and knocked the flipping dime right out of my hand and out the window. By this time the two of us were hysterical (hmmm could it be lack of adequate zzzzzzzzzzz’s??)

Anyway, we left there and continued down to the entrance- went past the shed where they sold tickets to part- no one in sight. Waited for a few minutes, then drove waaaaaaayyyyy down this road past campers and trailers and finally located a security guard- I asked him where do we pay for parking? He said the shed where we had just come from- so we hang a U turn and follow him back to the shed (the guy was probably taking a nap). This guy told us we could go park and sleep in the car and come back at 7:00 to pay the $5.00 parking fee- there was no way in HECK that we would do that and lose our place, so we opted to pay the $15.00 camping fee and drive up to the venue. We parked pretty closed, and when we got there, about 20-30 people were parked by the entrance, most of them in chairs and sleeping bags, all wrapped up to protect from the cold. I had brought a blanket and two fold up chairs, so we promptly camped out. Only about 10 more people arrived behind us. The guard said they would open the gates early for us (7;30)
OH YIPPEDEE DOO DA, only 3 ½ hours to go until we can get into the park, then go halfway around the world to the venue and camp out there! Great times ahead!!

A gift from the gods- there was a porta potty about twenty feet away on OUR side of the gate- yippee!!
It was colder than Alaska ( although I have never been there, this is what it felt like) Picture if you will, two women of advance years doing jumping jacks in the parking lot to keep warm!- Heck, I haven’t excercised like that in donkeys years!!

We got to talking to the people around us- and this one guy Bob who was wrapped up like a cocoon said he had been at gate 5 (right by the stage) for a while before a security guard told him that we could only line up at gate 9 ( where we were). Anyway, another woman, her daughter and granddaughter stayed with us- we alternated sitting on the two chairs I had brought with us. ( the canvas kind) After we had been there a little while, talking to these ladies and the group of people in front of them, Lorraine started to say- wonder where Linda and Bob are- and I knew she was going to take it further- the woman next to me was shaking her head frantically- and pointing to the guy in front of her- and yes it was THE Bob- so I said Lorraine this is Bob- you know? And she proceeded to recover and we chatted with him a little- he said Linda was resting up for the ordeal. But he was there BEFORE Lorraine and I and waited just as long to get in. One of the ticket takers came and couldn’t believe ALL THESE PEOPLE were waiting this early to line up for Clay Aiken (okay honey, this was only fifty people at 7:00 a.m.- when you see the lines later they will BLOW YOUR MIND. She took pictures of all of us with our friends camera- then gave her address for this woman to mail her a copy so she could show all the nonbelievers!

7:30- they open the gates- ON YOUR MARKS< GET SET- GO!!!!!!!!!!!
 Lorraine and I race 10 miles ( oh sorry , that’s what it seemed like)  well we went a LLLLOOOOOOOOOOONNNG way  across the fair to the stage ( I needed oxygen and a stretcher by the time we got there)

The fair security men were very nice- and so were all the other fans. They told us we could line up behind these barricades- that there would be a show at 1:00 and at 4:30- then they would sweep out the people in there (with a broom?) and would let us in twenty at a time to occupy the seats to the left side of the stage. There was also a lineup of people on the right side of the stage who got the same instructions. So lucky for us we picked the side where the SUN CAME OUT later in the day. The other people were stuck with shade trees. And Bob chose the OTHER SIDE- poor guy. He came to visit and said hello,  said how cold it was over there, someone said so come right in with us since you were here as early as we were. And he said NO that wouldn’t be fair to the other people behind you. Have to say that he seemed like a really nice guy!

Guards also told us we could be let out of our pen  to use restrooms, walk, get food, etc, but we should always leave one person watching our STUFF so no one could sneak in.
Since we made friends with a group of CLAYDREAM BELIEVERS, this was easy to do because we spelled each other.

Well, got to go to bed now, need to get up early tomorrow and take the ferry home- will post more from my house tomorrow night (oops it IS tomorrow- oh well, later guys)

Love and hugs

Thanks Marilyn, you all really had an adventure today and tonight was the prize!  In honor of this being the last concert (before the NCT - the North Carolina Triumvirate!) I wanted to post this -- the entire cellcert compilation.  Thank you to Amanda for compiling all the cellcert posts!

Quote
People lined up to enter at 8:00 am this morning. Then spent ALL DAY in line until being allowed into the outdoor stage seating area at 5:00 pm for the 7:00 pm concert.

There are no tickets for this concert (it's free with fair admission) and therefore no assigned seating.

It's an outdoor stage (not a permanent structure) with fenced-in seating (hard wooden benches and a few metal bleachers - high school football stadiums have better seating!) for 3500 people. Another 6500 people can supposedly see the concert from outside the fenced-in area but from seeing the area in person a few weeks ago Madison is not convinced of that!

There are 2 not very big "jumbotron" screens outside of the fenced-in seating area and there is lawn space for people to sit on. But she is not convinced 6500 people can actually fit out there!

It's been a chilly, windy day here but the wind has calmed down a lot now. "Baby" will need a few more tees, some long johns, but no flip-flops tonight (and a raincoat from what I read above - I hope not on the last). It's 63 degrees now.

I had a call early this afternoon from someone in line - people were already there at 11 PM last night - lots of jackets and blankets this afternoon - two lines. Seating was supposed to start around 6. As an aside, there was someone on stage then named Michael Angelo. (Nice name.)

Found on another board. At least they're treating him right here!  She said that Clay arrived with a 5 motorcycle police escort--lights flashing and all. It was so exciting. She can't confirm it, but she heard from someone he had a police escort all the way from NJ. She saw Jerome giving the signal for Clay to come off the bus. The screams were deafening. Mix said poor Clay probably heard it and is afraid to get off the bus!

Okay.. dont know if anyone posted this yet.. I just jumped on.. but COMCAST sponsored a ticket giveaway contest.. the 2 winners could have front row seats tonight or.. watch the concert from a hot tub...!!!

SOoooooooooooooooooooooooo... they chose the hot tub!!!! so they are now in the hot tub waiting for the concert to start!!! I wonder what Clay's reaction will be!!! This will be fun!!!

THERE DEFINITELY IS A HUGE BUCKET OVER CLAY'S AREA OF THE STAGE... NOT SURE WHAT IT IS FILLED WITH. THEY SAW THE CREW PUTTING VASELINE A L L OVER THE MIC STANDS - SO THE MIC ACTION OUGHT TO BE PRETTY INTERESTING TONIGHT!!!

Okay I just got a call from TSU: She said they put vasoline on Clays mic stand that he uses for Solitaire. They also said there is a bucket of something that they plan to dump on Clay. Val said she hope its confetti and not water. It is very cold there.
 
Cellstream: The place is packed. They don't think it's water in the bucket, because it is very cold. There's a red bra hanging somewhere near Derek. There was no pranks for Ben.

CD just called back - said the place is PACKED. People are standing outside by the street. She said there are people in front of her from Alaska!

The crowd is seriously hyped. She's already called a few times thinking he was coming out but it's just excited people screaming. It's still not Showtime!!!

Pic of Clay up on the jumbotron!!! the place is nuts!! We want Clay!! We Want Clay!!

POYB Commercial - SCREAMS AT VARIOUS POINTS OF THE VIDEO - THEY ARE READY & HYPED FOR CLAY!!! ALMOST SHOW TIME !!!

Clay talking about answers to dreams coming true...obviously this year has been a dream come true for me... Crowd screaming.......reports that he is crying.... No doubt in my mind at all, that my fans are the best in the world.

HE RECOGNIZES THAT BOB AND LINDA ARE THERE FOR THE 81ST TIME. HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE FANS THAT GO TO THE SHOW AND SPREAD THE WORD TO THEIR FRIENDS OR WRITE ABOUT IT ON THE MESSAGE BOARDS. TONIGHT...THIS IS FOR YOU! INVISIBLE...

ONE OF THE BACKSTAGE GUYS IS WEARING A CLAY AIKEN TSHIRT AND LITTLE HOT PANTS AND GOGGLES! HE IS TALKING ABOUT HOW PEOPLE MAKE FUN OF HOW HE DANCES AND DRESSES, BUT THERE IS NO DOUBT IN HIS MIND HOW HIS FANS FEEL ABOUT HIM. AWWWWW

Thank you Clay for wearing the most beautiful outfit I have ever seen and having a face of an angel!  You made my birthday weekend one I will never forget!  Spending a day with Lorraine and Marilyn and then hearing your voice from the Big E Concert was more than I could have ever hoped for.  I can't even concentrate today at work!

Well.

Last night at the Big E was my first time ever seeing Clay in concert. I waited in line for three hours and had a HUMONGOUS stomachache all through Ben Jelen's opening. I thought I was gonna be sick the whole night. Plus it was 30 something degrees out, which nearly made my body DIE.

And then Clay came on. It sounds stupid...but I was fine after that. I almost started  crying when he started "I Will Carry You." I had to grab my friend Emily and hold her til the song was over so I didn't lose it. The night was UNbelievable. I won't even begin to try to tell you how awesome it was, because most of you know.

I just wish I'd been up on stage with him...:P

MY BIG E ADVENTURE.  HERE GOES!!!!!!  PART I

MARILYN AND I ARRIVED AT THE BIG E AFTER BEARLY TWO HOURS OF SLEEP.  I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE NO LINES BUT OF COURSE AT 4:00 IN THE MORNING I WASN'T SURE WHAT TO EXPECT.  WE ARRIVED TO APPROXIMATELY 30 PEOPLE OR SO WAITING AT THE GATE.  IT WAS FREEZING AND THANK GOD MARILYN HAD BROUGHT A BLANKET.  OF COURSE WE IMMEDIATELY STARTED CONVERSATIONS WHICH IS SO EASY WITH ANY OF CLAYS FANS AND AS MARILYN MENTIONED I MET THE FAMOUS BOB.  WE LAUGHED AND JOKED AND THE GATES FINALLY OPENED AT 7:30.  WE ALL RUSHED TO THE VENUE SECTION AND IMMEDIATELY SET OURSELVES UP FOR THE LONG HAUL.  IT IS SO AMAZING HOW FAST FRIENDSHIPS START AND I THINK THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING PART THAT HOW WE IMMEDIATELY BOND WITH EVERYONE.  HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE.  IT MUST BE THE LOVE OF CLAY THAT RADIATES THROUGH US TO EACH OTHER.   IT JUST HAS TO BE.  THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND AFTER MEETING UP WITH ANGELA, HUBBY, SASHA, SASHA'S FRIEND PAM AND TAMMY WE WALKED AROUND THE FAIR JUST ENJOYING THE DAY.  CHECKED OUT THE TWO BUSES THAT BELONGED TO CLAY BUT OF COURSE CLAY WAS NOT THERE.  I WOULD KEEP ASKING THE SECURITY GUARDS BUT I KNEW THEY WOULDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING.  YOU CAN'T BLAME ME FOR TRYING.  

DURING THE COURSE OF THE DAY THEY HAD ENTERTAINMENT IN THIS SAME VENUE AND THIS LATIN SINGER "MICHAEL ANGELO" STARTED TO EXCITE SOME OF US OUTSIDE OF THE VENUE AND I EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO MEET HIM ALONG WITH ANGELA AND MARILYN AFTER HE FINISHED AND BOY WAS HE GORGEOUS.  I GAVE HIM A KISS ON THE CHEEK AND SO DID MARILYN IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY AND ANGELA TOOK OUR PICTURE AND HE EVEN SIGNED MY GRANDDAUGHTERS PICTURE.  WHAT A CUTIE.  (SORRY CLAY)

WHEN CLAYS BUS FINALLY ARRIVED OF COURSE EVERYONE WENT CRAZY BUT HE NEVER WAS SEEN BUT WHO CARES IT WAS HIS BUS THAT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR US.  WE CONTINUED TO GO BACK AND FORTH FROM WAITING IN LINE AND ANGELA AND I MET JACOB AND SHE WAS ABLE TO TAKE MY PICTURE WITH HIM AND HE EVEN SIGNED MY GRANDDAUGTERS PICTURE.  (HEY MAYBE THIS PICTURE IS GOING TO BE WORTH MONEY WHEN SHE GETS BIG ENOUGH)

ON TO THE CONCERT.  HOW CAN I DESCRIBE WHAT THIS AMAZING MAN DID TO ME.  LIGHTS WENT OFF  AND I HAD LINDA ON THE PHONE FROM THAT TIME.  THE MOTHERSHIP OPENED AND OF COURSE HE KEEPS US WAITING AND THEN FINALLY HE EMERGES AND I IMMEDIATELY CHECK OUT THE OUTFIT HE HAD ON.  I KNEW IT WAS NOTHING I HAD EVEN SEEN BEFORE.  OF COURSE YOU ALL HAVE SEEN THIS OUTFIT BY NOW WELL LET ME TELL YOUR SEEING IT IN PERSON WITH ONLY ABOUT 10 FEET SEPARATING HIM FROM US MY HEART IS STILL RACING SO FAST FROM THAT FIRST MOMENT.  BE STILL MY HEART.  THIS MAN IS SO INCREDIBLY GORGEOUS THAT WHEN GOD MADE HIM HE THROUGH AWAY THE MOLD.  I WON'T DESCRIBE EVERY SONG BUT EACH AND EVERY SONG LEFT ME BREATHLESS.  WHEN IT CAME TO THE DANCING PART I TRIED MY BEST AGAIN TO GAIN HIS ATTENTION.  HELL I EVEN PURCHASED A LEOPARD JACKET THERE TO WEAR HOPING HE WOULD NOTICE ME.  WELL AS I WAS DANCING HE CAME OVER TO OUR SIDE AND I THREW KISSES UP TO HIM AND AT TIMES HE SEEMED LIKED HE WAS LOOKING RIGHT AT ME.  AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT I HOPED BUT NO LUCK AGAIN.  HEY YOU CAN BLAME A GIRL FOR TRYING.  ONE OF THESE TIMES YOU NEVER KNOW.  HE MOVED THAT BODY LAST NIGHT TO EVERY SONG THAT I HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH MOVEMENTS LIKE THAT BEFORE COMING FROM THAT BODY.  WHEN HE SANG "I SURVIVED YOU" HE HELD THAT NOTE LIKE I HAD NEVER HEARD HIM HOLD IT BEFORE.  IT SEEMS LIKE THAT SONG WAS MADE JUST FOR HIM.

PART 2  THE BIG E CONCERT


I ALSO WANTED TO MENTION THAT BEFORE THE CONCERT STARTED THIS GUY CAME OUT AND SAT OVER TO THE LEFT SIDE THAT WAS TAPED OFF.  I SAID TO MARILYN AND ANGELA ISN'T THAT NICK.  WELL FINALLY HE LOOKED OVER AND I YELLED OUT ARE YOU NICK.  HE SAID NO.  WELL I CHECKED WITH ANOTHER LADY THERE WE RUNS ANOTHER BOARD AND SHE SAID THAT WAS HIM.  WELL HE HAPPENED TO BE STANDING UP BEHIND THE FENCE A LITTLE LATER AND I WALKED UP TO HIM AND PUT MY HAND OUT TO HIM AND SAID "HI I AM LORRAINE AND I AM A MEMBER OF CLAYMANIACS AND WE JUST LOVE CLAY.  I ASKED HIM WHY HE SAID HE WASN'T NICK AND HE SAID I AM NICK AND SORRY NICE TO MEET YOU.  HE SEEMED TO RECOGNIZE THE THREAD NAME.  VERY CUTE GUY.  I ALMOST GOT HIS AUTOGRAPH BUT THEN THE CONCERT WAS JUST BEGINNING.

I KEPT TELLING LINDA EVERYTHING THAT WAS HAPPENING AND EVERYTHING THAT I WAS FEELING.  WHEN IT CAME TO INVISIBLE HE EYES WERE FILLED WITH TEARS FOR THE LOVE THAT HE HAS FOR ALL OF HIS FANS.  HE LOVES US AND WE FEEL THAT LOVE MORE AND MORE FOR HIM AT EACH AND EVERY CONCERT.  THE AUDIENCE REALLY GOT INTO THAT SONG AND YOU CAN JUST SEE HIM UP THERE LIKE HE WAS REALLY CHOKED UP.  "YOU WERE THERE" WAS MORE AMAZING THAN EVER.  I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE WHEN HE SANG "SOLITAIRE."   HE HELD THOSE NOTES SO LONG, THE LONGEST THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD THROUGHOUT THESE CONCERTS.  MY HEART SKIPPED A BEAT WITH THAT ONE.  WHEN HE WAVED GOODBYE TO US THERE WAS SUCH LOVE BEING SENT TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF US AND HE JUST KEPT WAVING.  THE TEARS IN MY EYES STARTED TO BUILD UP AND I REALIZED THAT THIS MAN TOUCHED ME THROUGHOUT EVERY PART OF MY BODY THAT I FELT SO DRAINED BUT MY HEART WAS OVERFLOWING WITH LOVE AND STILL IS TODAY AND WILL BE FOREVER.

I WAS A LITTLE LEARY ABOUT THIS CONCERT BECAUSE IT WAS FREE EXCEPT FOR ADMISSION SO I KIND OF DREADED IT AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.  WELL LET ME TELL YOU THIS ONE WAS THE BEST. AMAZING  FROM THE BEGINNING MEETING WITH ALL THOSE OTHER FANS FROM NUMEROUS BOARDS WHO BECAME NEW FRIENDS, BEING WITH LINDA ON THE CELLCERT, MARILYN, ANGELA, TAMMY, SASHA AND UNTIL CLAY SANG SOLITAIRE I CAME AWAY FEELING DOWNRIGHT BLESSED.  

IT IS SO HARD TO PUT DOWN WORD FOR WORD HOW A PERSONS HEART FEELS BUT MY HEART IS OVERFLOWING WITH SO MUCH LOVE FOR CLAY THAT IT SEEMS LIKE I CAN'T FILL IT ANYMORE BUT I KNOW THAT ISN'T TRUE.  IT WILL NEVER BE FILLED AND IT WILL NEVER BE EMPTY.  HELL GOD BROUGHT HIM TO US HOW CAN THAT NOT BE A MIRACLE.

Lorraine, thank you that was a beautiful review & I could not add more except to elaborate on what you said---Clay really loves his fans so much & you can tell how much he appreciates us. The tears that filled his eyes as he was singing TITN & was a true testament on how much Clay's  fans mean to him.  Clay is going to miss his connection with his fans, although Clay needs a break I think he is looking forward to rejoining his band & his fans after a needed rest.
Clay is handsome, but yesterday he went way past handsome to drop dead gorgeous.  His voice was so powerful & passionate.
Being so close to Clay (2'nd row) I felt he was singing to me.  Lorraine, Marilyn, Sasha & Tammy may argue with me on that,  because they may have felt Clay was singing to them.  Oh well I can dream.

I AGREE WITH LORRAINE ON THIS BEING THE BEST CONCERT.
The love in the air as we all waited for Clay in line for hours was so overwhelming,  that I found myself at time today--- sad, because I missed that beautiful feeling I had experienced yesterday.

Clay was powerful,  passionate, playful & beautiful (inside & out)during the whole concert.

I WILL NEVER EVER FORGET SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 19TH 2004.  NOT ONLY JUST FOR THE CONCERT BUT FOR ALL THE LOVE I FELT WHILE WE WERE WAITING FOR THE MAN THAT MADE THIS ALL POSSIBLE.

WELL I HAVE NOT READ ANY POSTS YET. I WILL HAVE TO READ THEM WHEN I'M THROUGH.

OMG.....WHERE DO I BEGIN. I REALLY AM TO OVERWHELMED TO GO INTO DETAIL AND I WILL LET THE OTHERS GIVE YOU A MORE DETAILED CONCERT DESCRIPTION BECAUSE I WAS PRETTY MUCH IN A TRANSE WATCHING CLAY THE WHOLE NIGHT AND NOT WANTING TO TAKE MY EYES OFF OF HIM.

HUBBY, SALLY AND I GOT TO THE FAIR AROUND 730. WE DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE LETTING PEOPLE IN EARLY SO WE MADE A STOP AT MCDONALDS AND HAD A QUICK BITE. I COULD NOT EAT MUCH BECAUSE I WAS TO EXCITED.

WE GOT IN THE GATE AT 8 AND WENT AND FOUND THE COMCAST ARENA. SOME PEOPLE WERE ALREADY LINED UP ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ARENA BUT IT DIDN'T LOOK TO BAD. I HAD CALLED MARILYNS CELL SATURDAY NIGHT TO WISH LINDA A HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUT ALL I GOT WAS THE VOICE MAIL AND ALSO TRIED CALLING WHEN WE GOT TO THE FAIR AND STILL GOT HER VOICE MAIL. I WAS CONCERNED THAT SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY SERVICE AND THAT'S WHY SHE WASN'T PICKING UP. I WAS SAD TO THINK I WOULDN'T MEET THEM BECAUSE OF ALL THE PEOPLE THERE AND HAVING NO CLUE OF WHO TO LOOK FOR. I DECIDED TO GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE AND ASK IF ANYONE WAS LORRAINE OR MARILYN. WHEN I DID SOME WOMEN THERE ASKED ME WHY AND I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS MEETING SOMEONE THERE THAT I TALKED TO ON A WEBSITE. HAVING NO LUCK I DECIDED JUST TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

IN LINE NEXT TO US I MET THIS NICE WOMAN NAMED JUDY AND HER HUSBAND. WE SHARED OUR OCD AND CONCERT EXPERIENCES. I FOUND OUT THAT I WAS SEATED AT A PREVIOUS CONCERT VERY CLOSE TO HER AND SHARED MANY OTHER CONCERT EXPERIENCES. WE BONDED SO WELL THAT WE TOOK EACH OTHERS PHONE NUMBERS AND EMAIL ADRESSES AND MADE PLANS TO LOOK INTO GOING TO FUTURE CLAY CONCERTS WITH EACH OTHER.

PART 2 COMING UP.....

AS HUBBY SALLY AND I WERE CHATTING WITH GREAT AND WONDERFUL PEOPLE THE PHONE RINGS. IT WAS MARILYN AND TOLD ME SHE HAD HER PHONE SHUT OFF TO SAVE BATTERIES. WE FOUND OUT THEY WERE JUST A LITTLE AHEAD OF US IN LINE. I GUESS THEY HAD SEEN ME WHEN I WALKED OVER BUT MUST NOT HAVE HEARD ME. I CANT DESCRIBE THE FEELING OF WHAT I FELT WHEN I SAW THEM. I WAS VERY OVERWHELMED AND INSTANTLY FELT A LOVE AND BOND WITH THEM. CLAY PEOPLE ARE SPECIAL PEOPLE. BETWEEN THE WOMAN I MET AND MY FRIENDS FROM CLAYMANIACS I FELT I WAS FINALLY HERE WITH PEOPLE WHO FELT THE SAME AS ME. SHORTLY AFTER THAT I MET SASHA AND ANGELA AND SASHA'S FRIEND PAM. I AGAIN HAD THE SAME FEELING AND ALSO FELT LIKE I WAS SEEING GOOD FRIENDS. I CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW COMFORTABLE I WAS WITH EVERYONE. MARILYN, ANGELA, LORRAINE AND SASHA I AM SO HAPPY I MET YOU. YOU GUYS ARE SO NICE AND ARE SO MUCH FUN TO BE WITH...

THE EXPERIENCE IN LINE WAS NOT BAD AT ALL. I ACTUALLY HAD FUN SOCIALIZING WITH EVERYONE. SASHA, PAM AND MY GROUP ALSO MET THESE SWEET YOUNG GIRLS. ONE HAD OVERHEARD ME SAYING I HAD TWO PUGS AND ONES NAME WAS ZOE. SHE TOLD ME SHE HAD A PUG NAMED ZOE AND WAS SO EXCITED AND WE SHARED OUR PUG TALES. A LITTLE LATER HER FRIENDS HUSBAND CAME BACK FROM PLAYING SOME FAIR GAMES WITH TWO STUFFED PUGS AND GAVE ONE TO HER AND ONE TO ME. IT JUST AMAZES ME HOW SWEET PEOPLE ARE. ALSO DURING OUR WAIT IN LINE WE GOT TO SEE THIS AMAZING LATINO SINGER... YES US CLAYMANIAC GIRL WERE CHECKING HIM OUT AND DOING A LITTLE BIT OF GAHHING BUT SAVING THE BIG GAHS FOR CLAY.... THE WORST PART IN LINE WAS WHEN WE STARTED SQUISHING UP TOGETHER AND GETTING READY TO GO IN. A FEW OF US HAD SORE FEET AND ACHING BACKS.

CONTINUED....

WE FINALLY GOT IN THERE AROUND SIX OR SO. UNTIL CLAY CAME ON IT SEEMED LIKE ETERNITY. WE WERE SO SO CLOSE AND I COULD ONLY DREAM OF EVER BEING THAT CLOSE TO HIM AND DON'T KNOW IF I WILL EVER BE CLOSE TO HIM AGAIN. WELL WHEN THE SHIP LANDED AND CLAY CAME OUT I WAS IN A DAZE.. LIKE I SAID I COULD NOT KEEP MY EYES OFF OF HIM SO THE REST IS KIND OF BLURRY. GOD I LOVE THAT CRANBERRY JACKET AND TURTLNECK.. I WOULD LOVE, LOVE, LOVE FOR THAT TO BE MY NEW AVIE.... DID I SAY HE LOOKED HOT AND I COULDN'T KEEP MY EYES OFF OF HIM... OH YAH I DID.... ANYWAY I CAN'T GO INTO A DESCRIPTION OF EACH SONG EXCEPT I FELT LIKE I WAS A PART OF THE SHOW WITH BEING SO CLOSE. THE JOKES THAT THEY PLAYED ON EACH OTHER WERE FUNNY AND JUST MADE THE EXPERIENCE EVEN MORE FUN TO SEE THE LOVE AND PLAYFULNESS THEY HAVE WITH EACH OTHER. HE SANG ALL HIS SONGS WITH SO MUCH PASSION.

I AM SO, SO, SAD THAT IT IS OVER AND WISH I COULD GO SEE HIM IN NORTH CAROLINA BUT I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THIS EXPERIENCE. I HOPE TO GET TOGETHER WITH MY SPECIAL FRIENDS FROM HERE I MET LAST NIGHT AND HOPE TO MEET MORE OF YOU.... MY HEART IS ACHING RIGHT NOW.... I DID WAKE UP THIS MORNING AND CALLED HUBBY AT WORK AND TOLD HIM REPEATEDLY THANKYOU FOR COMING AND HE SAID HE ENJOYED IT ALSO....DURING THE CONCERT MY NEW FRIEND JUDY SAID YOU KNOW...THIS IS ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT A HUSBAND SHOULD DO..... DID MY HUBBY GET AS MUCH OUT OF MY EXPERIENCE AS I DID? PROBABLY NOT....BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? HE ENJOYED HIMSELF AND ALSO HAS A SORE THROAT TODAY FROM ALL THE HOLLERING HE DID LAST NIGHT.... SO I GUESS HE DID A LITTLE....

I AGREE WITH LORRAINE ON THIS BEING THE BEST CONCERT.
The love in the air as we all waited for Clay in line for hours was so overwhelming, that I found myself at time today--- sad, because I missed that beautiful feeling I had experienced yesterday.

Clay was powerful, passionate, playful & beautiful (inside & out)during the whole concert.

I Agree with Lorraine and Angela.    I had so much fun yesterday I didnt want the day to end, being with Tammy,Angela,Lorraine,Marilyn and my friend Pam and all the other wonderful people I meet yesterday it was truely a day to remember.

   Then when we finally got to see Clay up close   gahhhhhhh  he absoltuley looked gorgeous last night and a magnifcant performance.  I could see the twinkle in his eyes last night and all the love he has for his fans and like Lorraine said I could see tears at one point.  It was truely an amazing evening.....  I will never forget.....

WE LOVE YOU CLAY IF YOU ARE READING THIS........YOU ARE TRUELY AN AMAZING TALENT AND PERSON......dont ever change....
