Yes, Clay will play
In case there was any doubt the Clay Nation still is going strong, I received an e-mail from a reader letting us know Clay Aiken does, indeed, have a Michigan tour stop on his upcoming The Joyful Noise Tour. In Sunday's Namedropping column in The Press, we reported the five-week Christmas tour did not stop "in the area."
The show is at 8 p.m. Dec. 23 in the Masonic Temple in Detroit; it will feature the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. According to the Pollstar magazine Web site,
www.pollstar.com
, it is the final stop on the five-week tour that will commence Nov. 21 in Pasadena, Calif.
"I would like to see Mr. Aiken sell a lot a tickets to the concert (my husband and I already have ours) and would love if something could be in The Press to this regard. It is going to be awesome," e-mailed the Aiken fan.
Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster.

Fair goes fast
Quote
Little remains of fair that saw second-largest crowd: more than 830,000
By KRISTIN COLLINS, Staff Writer
Tiny Tim didn't know the State Fair was over. The so-called "World's Smallest Horse" was still parked on the Raleigh fairgrounds Monday afternoon, munching lazily on hay -- oblivious that all around him, the remnants of this year's fair were disappearing at a breathtaking pace.
The Ferris wheel was in pieces. The coveted stuffed animals had already moved on to other towns. There was not a corn dog to be had.
The 2004 State Fair, which closed Sunday after a 10-day run, drew the second-largest crowd in history: 836,319 people. And Reithoffer Shows, the Florida company that ran the midway, paid the state $4.2 million, the second-most money ever.
But as they mopped up Monday, state officials refused to call this year's fair second best.
"We're just ecstatic about how it all turned out," Agriculture Commissioner Britt Cobb said. "It was truly one of the best ever."
It was the biggest ever. The midway was expanded this year, allowing a record-breaking 102 rides, about 20 more than last year. And it boasted the most star power. "American Idol" star Clay Aiken played shows that sold out in nine and 14 minutes, respectively.
The money the fair earned this year will go into making it even bigger. By next year, the midway will be nearly doubled in size. And a new $6.3 million exhibit building will stand on the fairgrounds.
Before state officials can do that, they must get rid of the smelly remnants of another successful State Fair: the piles of smashed french fries, half-eaten corncobs and discarded soda cups left when the rides pull out.
Judging by the view from Tiny Tim's trailer, they have a lot of work to do.

State Fair not what it used to be
Quote
Posted: 10.26.2004
Heather Cutchin
Somewhere in the bigger-than-ever Midway, the multitude of fried everything and the absolutely ridiculous traffic is the tiny amount of actual agriculture left at the N.C. State Fair, which is what it started out mostly being. While you still can find the cows, horses, goats, sheep, and the whole poultry building, they are often pushed to the sides and mostly forgotten about. People spend all of their money riding a thirty-second ride instead of not spending money at all and taking thirty minutes to teach their kids where hamburgers really come from.
Agriculture Commissioner Britt Cobb claimed, "The 2004 State Fair is chock full of food, rides, competitions and entertainment for the whole family. We're inviting everyone to come on down and help us celebrate N.C. agriculture."
I can see how food and most competitions are agriculturally related, but the rides and entertainment?
How is Clay Aiken a part of agriculture? And why did we spend $20,000 on him?
(snip)
The State Fair would have been better off directing money from the Clay Aiken concert and the larger Midway to providing more agricultural exhibits. This does not mean less people would go to the fair, it means people would get more out of the fair than a upset tummy from fried Twinkies and a completely empty wallet. Not just kids enjoy the animals either.
When I worked at the Chick Booth last year that the Poultry Science Club puts on, many adults of all ages would reminisce about "when they were younger, they had a yard full of chickens!" and how "kids these days do not know anything about real farming." More adults would rather walk through exhibits and pet the animals than ride the rides. So why not make the fair more fun for adults by giving them more to do?
Also, having more activities for the handicapped folks to do involving agriculture would be good. There are a lot of people that cannot ride any fair rides because of various reasons, and their little portion of fun times at the fair gets smaller every year. Why not devote some time and energy into showing the aspects of agriculture that people with handicaps regularly engage in? Or towards rides that are designed for people that cannot ride the regular fair rides, but are not the dorky little kiddie rides either.
The best use for the money that went to Clay Aiken and the extended Midway would have been better parking, or at least a better parking arrangement.
All of the folks at the College of Veterinary Medicine had to deal with bumper-to-bumper traffic almost every hour of the day trying to get in and out of the school. Hillsborough Street and Blue Ridge Road were a mess, and there were never enough parking spaces anywhere. If there had been other parking lots around Raleigh that offered the free park and ride, the traffic situation would have been much alleviated.
All in all, a person can still have a reasonably good time and blow a good chunk of money at the N.C. State Fair. There are several agricultural exhibits out there, but I still do not think there are enough. I am sure there are lots of people out there wishing to do away with all of the animals and other agricultural stuff at the fair and just have more rides. To them I quote the Collegiate FFA T-shirt: "Naked and Hungry." That's where you would be without agriculture.

Bringing the A-List to Its Knees
By BERNARD WEINRAUB
Published: October 26, 2004
OS ANGELES, Oct. 25 - Kathy Griffin calls herself a D-list celebrity and is proud of it. Ms. Griffin, a comedian who has a growing audience in clubs, at colleges and on late-night television, said she will probably never rise into the C-list because she offends so many celebrities.(snip)
Ms. Griffin, whose current show on Bravo is even titled "The D-List," frequently appears to sold-out crowds at The Comedy Club in West Hollywood as well as in colleges, and her comedy has made her one of the more controversial performers working today. Even Howard Stern, the radio shock jock, asked Ms. Griffin how she could still work in Hollywood and how she got away with some of her racier comments about the sex lives, silliness and strange behavior of celebrities like Britney Spears ("She's our Liza"), Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Celine Dion, Mel Gibson, Barbra Streisand,
Clay Aiken
, Whitney Houston, the Olsen twins, Oprah Winfrey and Sharon Stone.

CLAY AIKEN has a new gig and partner in comedy -- and ET was on the set with the idol-icious singer as he flexed his funny bone! Watch ET tonight for your complete Aiken fix!
America's favorite crooner is actually joining this year's American Music Awards host JIMMY KIMMEL in some cute promo spots for the show, where the two share some "Laverne & Shirley" like moments.
We caught up with Clay as they shot the promos, where he revealed that the AMA's last year was the very first show he had ever attended. And this year he'll be a presenter: "This will be my first time presenting, I just want to hold the envelope and know just a second before everybody else does (who the winner is)."
Things have not slowed down for Clay, who told us not only does he have a Christmas album that comes out Nov. 16th, but he's hitting the road again for a third tour this year.
"I try my best to stay in touch with RUBEN (STUDDARD)," Clay commented, adding that they talk once a month. He also said he just went and checked out KIMBERLEY LOCKE in concert as well.
Clay and a sea of superstars, including JANET JACKSON, USHER and ALICIA KEYS will be at the AMA's on November 14th. The show airs live from the Shrine auditorium on ABC.]

Morning everyone!
Can I go crawl back into bed? Can I? Slept okay last night except, grumble the cats had more space on the bed then I did and we're only talking 2 cats!!!! I love having them cuddle but sometimes I'd like to be able to move around at night. LOL. OY!
Here's Clay's horoscope for the day from yahoo.com.
Quote
Quickie:
The climb will be tougher than you think -- but once you're there, it's all downhill.
Overview:
If you've got a message to deliver, today is definitely the day. It's time to speak or forever hold your peace -- and everyone knows how good you aren't at holding your peace. Strike while the iron is hot, yes?
Daily Extended Forecast:
It's good that you like an active social life, because now you've got what you deserve. You're sliding down a continuous avalanche of friendly faces, good wishes, party invitations and promising dates. Where others would feel overwhelmed, you sit back and enjoy the ride. Keep in mind that fun is recreation, not an occupation. Even as you're having the time of your life, make a deposit in the energy bank for later use on something that will last. In a few days, you'll need to be thinking past the moment.
Daily Flirt:
Do something today that reminds you of being a kid. Play a game from your childhood -- like dodgeball, or hopscotch. It's fun to dust off a rusty skill set. And it's a fun thing to do on a date.
Daily Couples:
Balance macho energies with goofy creativity. Seek pleasure in hanging out together while exploring new pursuits. Take to the skies.
Daily Singles:
Have fun over a game of some kind: pool, bowling, PlayStation, Scruples or whatever turns you on. Watch how your date plays and you'll learn plenty on top of just having fun.
Daily Career and Fianance:
Whatever you do today, you'll have a good time. Even if you're debugging or going over last year's budget, you'll still have the spirit of fun guiding you.
