OMG!! KYLENE!!!! THAT'S A PICTURE OF YOU WITH CLAY!!! That is by far the greatest thing ever!! I am so amazingly envious!! Thanks for updating us. You know we love it... and him.

 

[Debi]

Kylene, I am green with envy!! Thank you so much for posting your experience. What city did you get to meet Clay in?

 

[Fantasmic303]

OMG!! KYLENE!!!! THAT'S A PICTURE OF YOU WITH CLAY!!!

OMG!! ARE YOU KIDDING?? IS THAT WHO THAT HANDSOME GUY IN THE BLUE SHIRT IS???

Just kidding. And yes, I think we all share that love for him.


Debi, I met him in Boston. I was actually worried he'd be wearing a Red Sox t-shirt, and then what would I have done?? I'm from the NEW YORK part of Connecticut, not the Bah-ston side. I hope I'll get to bring him home with me someday.

SO ANYWAYS.....

Don't forget to set your tapes and Tivo for Clay on All My Children tomorrow (Wednesday, September 14th)!!!

And also, did you guys check out the photos from Clay at the Kenneth Cole show over the weekend?!?

 

[scarlett873]

great..now i gotta remember to set my DVR!! lol...cross your fingers that i remember by the time i get home tonight at 9pm!

 

[Fantasmic303]

Heeeeeeeeeeeey, Kimberle....


I wish we had a little whispering smilie guy, cause there's a rumor I think you might like....


Clay supposedly told a random person who met him at Wicked last night that he's going to be bringing the Christmas tour to the Beacon Theater!!!


I know it's not Radio City, but it IS NYC, so hopefully you'll get to see him this time!!

 

[Fantasmic303]

EEK! I'm sorry to keep posting stuff consecutively, but I've got a knot in my stomach now and I need to share the news with you guys.

Here's a tentative list of dates for Clay's Christmas tour:

Wed Nov 2.....Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Vancouver BC
Thu Nov 3....Theater of the Clouds, Rose Garden, Portland OR
Sat Nov 5...... Silva Hall, Hult Center, Eugene OR
Fri Nov 18....Mid America Center, Council Bluffs IA
Sat Nov 19....Midland Theatre, Kansas City MO
Fri Nov 25.......Louisville Palace Theatre, Louisville KY
Sat Nov 26.....Cincinnati Music Hall, Cincinnati OH
Fri Dec 9.....Providence Perf. Arts Center, Providence RI
****(Not confirmed) Sat Dec 10...Chevrolet Theatre, Wallingford CT
Wed Dec 14....Lyric Opera House, Baltimore MD
Sat Dec 17.....Atlanta Civic Center, Atlanta GA
Wed Dec 28....King Center, Melbourne FL
Fri Dec 30......Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater FL


Some of those have onsale dates of October 1st, so if any of you guys are interested in any dates above, I'll investigate a bit for ya.

And just an FYI - That Connecticut date? MY date? Yeah, it's SOOOO gonna go onsale when I'm in Disney World.

 

[CookieGVB]

I'm doomed. I always am. There's bound to be SOMETHING that gets in the way of seeing this man, so I'm not even going to get excited about him possibly being in the Beacon Theatre.

 

[padisneyfan]

Guess you will just have to spend the day on the phone trying to buy tickets instead of enjoying WDW.

As for me the Baltimore concert is the day I am flying back from WDW. My flight isn't until 6pm so no way can I make the show. So no Clay for me in 2005. Hopefully I can see him sometime in 2006

Ok, so clearly the overwhelming attitude is that Clay should be doing a little more to accomodate his DIS fans, since we're all having conflicts.


I'll have to have a little chat with him. I wonder if this is payback for stepping on his toes.


HOWEVER, there is hope: These dates are not OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL. I mean, people are reporting them as they get info from their venues, but there's still chances that things will change. We'll just have to cross our fingers.


And as for me? Buying tickets from Disney World? It will certainly NOT be the happiest place on Earth if I don't get them. And that's all I really have to say about the matter.

 

[Kimber1963]

Kylene-

I'll be happy to try to get tickets for you if I can. Just let me know when they go onsale and how many you need. I'll be at WDW from 9/21-9/26 but any other time I'll be happy to try for you.

When are you going to Disney?

 

[Debi]

The bad news is that, as of yet, Clay isn't coming to New Jersey (he's played NJ or Philly every tour, including the AI). The good news is that I'll be in WDW from December 26 - January 1, and since Clay will be in Clearwater on 12/30, I'm seriously considering going (I'm holding reservations in Clearwater for the night of 12/30). There's only the issue of tickets that needs to be addressed.

If anyone comes across 2 extra tickets for the Clearwater concert, please, please let me know. Or, if anyone hears about when/if tickets will go on sale again (rumor has it that this concert isn't really sold out), please PM/e-mail me. After going to Clay's last show of the JBT in Atlantic City, I'm now determined to see his last show of the JNT2 tour!

 

[CookieGVB]

Checked the Beacon's schedule, and it looks like Winne the Pooh is there for quite some time in December. It was MEANT to be for a DIS Claymate! (looks like 12/12 & 12/13 are open dates...)

 

[disneychrista]

What does Clay have against us in California?? I give up Clay. I don't even want to see you in concert anymore.

 

[Fantasmic303]

Christa, he's doing Emmy coverage this weekend for The Insider. I think you should go stake out the Shrine and ask him what the deal is.


Remember, however, that he's still adding dates, so don't give up on him just yet.

 

[disneychrista]

I keep hoping but other then the show he did with Kelly Clarkson, he has come no where near me. He needs to do a show in Sacremento or San Francisco. But I am resolved to hoping that maybe just maybe they will put out a DVD of his concert.

 

[Debi]

Acording to the Fan Club website, all tour dates will be released in mid-September. We're in mid-September, and only a few dates have been confirmed. Argh!!!

I have a DVD of the JBT concert. If you want one, I can burn a copy for you.

[Fantasmic303]

I forgot to thank you, Kimber, for offering to try to get tickets for me. Let's cross our fingers and hope it doesn't come to that, but thanks in advance for the offer!!

We're going to WDW on October 28th, coming home November 1st. It's just a short trip to activate our Annual Passes and visit "home" for the first time. We're in our first year of DVC ownership at the Boardwalk, so we have more points than we normally would, and absolutely LOVE the World at Halloween.

UNLESS CLAY TICKETS GO ONSALE ON THE 29th OF OCTOBER.

Wait a sec...YOU'RE GOING REALLY SOON!! Wow...you'll be there next week at this time. This is my jealous face.


I guess we'll get all the tour dates *smack* all at the same time. This is how it happened last year too, I remember tickets going on sale on staggered weekends throughout October. Hopefully we'll all be pleasantly surprised when they announce.

 

[Fantasmic303]

OH!! And don't forget - Clay is covering the Emmys for The INSIDER, so keep an eye on the red carpet and backstage this weekend and Monday for coverage!!!

Did everyone see the pictures of Clay in Rolling Stone? Here's the link:Rolling Stone pics
