Spoilers....


Quote
just talked to Glowgirl.. her and her Mom arrived this morning.. they were there outside when the buses pulled up.. Jessie was in the front window..he got off then the girls then Clay and Jerome. said Clay looked beautiful..wore the bucket hat..had on a yarn type sweater red green and black I think she said..he was 10 feet from them.. later I think she said Jerome walked Durham and his little mouth was barking up a storm



Quote
We actually saw he and Jerome walking out of his hotel to the bus (we're staying at the same place), which then drove to the church and we assume dropped them off there. We did see Mary sitting out front of the church, but didn't see Clay. We went to supper and on our way back to the hotel a couple hours later, noticed that the bus was still parked at the church's main entrance, so wonder if they might have attended evening services, as well as rehearsing some. Wearing bucket hat and horizontal, inch-wide-striped, primary-colored shirt I haven't seen before (very tight-fitting), faded blue jeans & sneaks. What little we saw looked very good! It was great to see him, if only a glimpse! He was slim, but in a very good way *g*.

We were waiting on Frankie and Lewis so we could go out to eat together and I saw the bus. We were parked and PuddinsJoy was looking at her camera. I looked over and saw Jerome walking to the bus. Then Jerome stepped ahead and I saw him. I screamed!  (At least we were in the car with the windows up!) PuddinsJoy started smacking me in the head to get me to be quiet. I put my hand over my mouth and continued to scream.  He was wearing jeans, a long sleeved striped shirt (big stripes in primary colors) and his bucket hat. I didn't get a pic, because it went so quickly!

 Good Evening Everyone!

I hope everyone is excited about the first stop on the new tour!

I'll be bringing over reports from CV and also interjecting anything I hear on the cellstream.

From CV:

OK everybody, I just talked with Clayperfect. They are in the venue and the mood is very, very tense. I don't know how many of you are aware that there was a "fan" banned last week from the OFC for posting threats towards Clay. Well, she was at the pre-party today and is planning to attend this Wichita concert. Clayperfect said security is extremely tight and they are showing everyone a picture of this person as they enter the venue. She said they were also told they would not allow cameras or videos of any kind. She said security is EVERYWHERE. I'm a bundle of nerves now.

The orchestra is warming up and the church is filling up!

No word yet on who will be reading stories. No new updates on the threats, but everything seems to be going ok.

About 700 tickets are left.  They are mostly on the sides of the venue.

3/4 of the audience is women, 1/4 is men.

Heather -  I intend to enjoy this concert.  I'm glad that Security is tight . . . I am in disbelief that anyone could go to those extremes . .  I knew nothing of the threats.

BUT -  It is the first night of Christmas in the Heartland!

From what I've heard they did check bags and security has been very thorough.  I think even at a church it would be treated like any other event.   (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v381/marilyon/EMOTICONS/dunno2.gif)

He's starting with Emmanuel

I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the cellcert.  I have faith that the security will be able to deal with these wackos.  Maybe  the M&G's weren't  announced sooner because  Team Clay was working on an airtight security strategy.  We can only hope and pray that this will go off without a hitch.    (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v381/marilyon/EMOTICONS/please-2.gif)

Clay is talking about the different holiday tours he's done.  The first JNT, then adding orchestras, then theater groups, etc.

I think he's explaining how he asked for stories that could be told at the concert.

I just read about the banter thing again over at the CB...but, I think he'll end up doing some...'cause he likes it as much as we do!   :laugh:


I do think he'd get bored without it. And some of the comments he must think of, looking out at his audiences... I bet he'd explode if he couldn't say them out loud!  (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v381/marilyon/EMOTICONS/lmao-1.gif)

from GBB at the CH:


dc4clay called me while I was out with her M&G report. Here are the notes I took on the restaurant napkin:

He was hilarious.
Hair reddish
Not much banter. Fans will be mad (he said this).
Venue saying no cameras.
Clay didn't go to his high school reunion. It was a rumor.
He was hilarious.
Only Durham on tour, not Raleigh.
Doesn't know about a first single, still not sure what will be on CD
Looked good.
Friendly and relaxed.
Very slim
Fan: "Are you worried about dancing in Spamalot?" Clay: "What makes you sure I'll be doing the same dance steps?"

Second story summary from CB:

The jist of her story is that her son died in Dec. due to a carwreck. She threw out her Christmas tree, and all her Christmas stuff and shut down. She was bitter and angry. The next Christmas her son's friend told her that he would have wanted her to celebrate. So, she went to her closet to pull out her Christmas stuff, but realized that she had thrown it all away. All she could find was a little Nativity set and a plastic icicle. She went to her family Christmas celebrations, but was numb inside. On Christmas day she found herself alone and sad. Then she picked up the Nativity figures and looked at them. She began to realize that Mary had also lost her son. Did she also marvel in watching her son grow? Did she sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider" to him? Did she know she would lose him at an early age also? Then she realized that millions of people the world over had suffered loss of loved ones as well and she was not alone. She cried for Mary and her loss of Jesus. She cried for those who had lost loved ones. Then she felt enveloped in Love and Peace, and realized that due to the faith of a mother, and her love of Jesus, the Lamb of God, that she would make it.

This is a rough paraphrase from her story. I'm so proud of her for reading it as her loss happened in '03.

I really hope that the stories are a "good fit" in the concert.  Clay was so hyped about having the fans' stories and he personally took so much time reading them (after explaining the format over and over).   

He evidently picked the stories that really touched him . . . that's good enough for me.

Clay came out the back of the stage.

He came up onto a platform that is level with the piano, so it kind of looks like he is standing on the piano, but he's actually behind it.

Everything is Black and White.  The girls are dressed in ball gowns with diamonds.  The orchestra is dressed all in black.

Clay is wearing the long black jacket from a previous JNT.

Church is about 75% full. He looks beyond gorgeous. Looks slender, had lost weight. No sign of tummy. She's on a mission to feel it in her M&G tomorrow night! Acoustics good but speakers are in the ceiling. They are videotaping it (don't know if she means the church or Clack goddesses) Angela sang the solo and Clay had a huge smile on his face and never took his eyes off of her.

The first ladies story was about having surgery to lose weight and a funny bit about taking 30 minutes to eat one Frito! Everyone talking is so excited about the show and how wonderful Clay sounds.

Thank you Heater!...you know for whatever misgivings some may have about story 'breaks'...I do think by having them it helps the mood of the concert be a little more powerful...the way I think Clay likes it to be...and with this and the gals singing...I think he'll stay healthy...he had to carry the show virtually by himself last yearl...that must be very taxing...coupled with travel in the winter weather...wonder if the bus lines will happen?

Did that fan show up??  Wow!!
I haven't heard anything firsthand, so it's hard to know what's true and what's rumor. But the word was that she did go to a pre-party, and later showed up at the door of the church. Security wouldn't let her in.

I don't know if she was detained for making threats, or told to go on home, or what. Of course, I think it would be best if they could hold on to her until Clay has left the area.

Sounds like he is introducing the girls and Jesse...

Bantering a bit about the people who provided the stories for the evening.

Talking about those who have come to the shows in the past know what he hopes you take away from it, don't spread the love just at the holidays, do it all year round.

Turn to the person next to you...he's challenging everyone once again for 2008.

All Is Well really showcases his voice because he goes from the lower register up to his higer register with such ease.

This is just an incredible song.

His voice is just so good tonight.

The cellcerter just said "wow".

Sounds like he did just fine with the glory note.

The crowd certainly seems to approve!!

Apparently he cracked a bit on the glory note, but they say he covered it pretty well.

The cellcerter is saying that he just blew DSIA out of the ball park.

They had a person doing sign language there tonight.

He said it was okay to scream in church tonight.  He said you don't have to be so quiet!

I'm back!!!!

Frankie just called, and she wanted me to apologize to all of you for hanging up before the encore.  She said if Clay hadn't lied to them     she would still have been on the line. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v381/marilyon/EMOTICONS/roflmao.gif) Anyway....she wanted to let us know that he sang All is Well, and I told her we already knew.   ;)   But I wanted to pass Frankie's message along to all of you.  Then she was off to the bus line.....JUST IN CASE.   :)

I'm back from standing in the cold for an hour just to be told Clay could not do the bus line (I'm sure that he came out as soon as we left and took individual pictures with everybody!   :laugh: ) Here are some pictures - Our Honey looks fantastic - and sounds great, in case you could not hear!

These were all taken by Lewis, since I was holding my cell phone:

Great preparty - if you ever have a chance to go to a preparty given by the KC Club - make sure you go. WONDERFUL concert - I'm so glad I did not have to miss this one - longer recap later after I get home.

I just quickly read the cellcert - was this the same concert I attended? We did not notice any security - at least no more than ususal - really less than some concerts I've attended - no one's photo was shown at the door - there was no problem that I noticed at the preparty - we took our camera in with no problem - one person sitting next to us came in with her camera on her shoulder and it was not allowed in. We found out that cameras were not, in fact, allowed, but every person sitting around us had a camera and was taking picutres - no one was asked to stop. This is the first I've heard or threats or of a crazy "fan".

EDIT - the Church was filming the entire concert - and I mean filming - they have professional looking video equipment - tall booms and all just like movie studios use. ClayObsessed asked them if they would be selling a video, and they told her no - that they were filming at Clay's request. He wanted to watch the video to see if there was anything he wanted to change about the concerts - we were told that Clay was watching video when we were outside hoping for a bus line. (Don't know if that part is true, but that is what we were told!)

Good Evening!

Skip and I just returned to our rooms at McConnell Air Force Base.   What a wonderful day and evening!

We finally left this morning at 8:00 am instead of 7:15.  We boarded the dogs and were on our way about 8:45 am.  We arrived in Wichita at 2:30 pm,  having talked to Frankie a couple of times to get directions to the preparty. 

The preparty was just wonderful.  Meesa and her Kansas group had really worked hard and it was evident.  Lots of items to bid on or win and the room was big and comfortable with round tables and plenty of space to visit and check out the goodies.  I did as I always do:  put all my tickets in one bag and, sure enough, I won the prize!! A snowman basket with some cute Clay Christmas items.  (Pictures soon.) :laugh: :wink

I got to meet Shirl from San Jose at the party and it was wonderful to see Frankie and Lewis again and Meesa, too.

Clay's Christmas Concert was just lovely.  The stories/Christmas anecdotes really were a pleasant addition.  One was about a woman who had stomach surgery and lost a lot of weight and could not have the usual Christmas dinner but really enjoyed a single Frito;  Second one about a woman who lost her son and finally found Christmas again looking at Mary and the Babe in a Nativity scene;  Third about a son sent to Afghanistan and the Christmas lights left up outside their house for the entire time he was gone;  and Fourth, about a special Christmas to a family in Alaska, snowed in and with a dwindling food supply.

Clay finally sang for me, "I'll Be Home for Christmas."  I have wanted this for four years!!!  Tears streamed down my face.   Clay and Christmas songs just are a partnership made in Heaven. 

Clay had his Beatle haircut and wore a black tie, black shirt and the long black coat with black pants.  Angela and Quiana both had on beautiful black evening gowns with the long full, tucked type skirts.

Clay was pretty much all business and did not address the crowd too much until the very end.  It was really one song after another with a few medleys, too.  Clay stood on a platform in the center of the orchestra and never left that spot.  Angela and Quiana were on either side and a ways back from him, also on platforms.

I "wandered" the audience a little before the performance started;  and talked to a couple of the violinists on stage.  I told them I was a violinist trying to get into one of Clay's orchestras!! :lol  One said, "Come on up .  Take my violin."  I asked them how they liked Clay, and they said he was a great singer.  I also asked how the arrangements were, and they said they were really good.

That's all I can remember right now.  I think you've seen the list of songs. 

Oh, Frankie and I did go out with Shirl to see Clay at the bus.  He did not walk the line, but Angela and Quiana spoke to the crowd briefly.  Skip and Lewis waited in our warm van while we stood out in the cold for almost an hour! 
Yes, we are each a true :clayfan

And Frankie and Lewis got the most fabulous pictures with Frankie's new camera!!    I saw some of them on her camera.  Frankie, your pictures are going to be all over the Claynet!!!  :clap


Here are pictures from the preparty and concert.  Thanks again to Meesa and the Kansas bunch for a wonderful party and a chance to mingle with Clay fans!!

 Skip and Lewis                 Skip and Prissy                 Frankie, Meesa, Prissy with Shirl

Frankie won this Clay picture on the left, I think!  Also, the frame on the right has Clay pins on it.  Jen of the KC Clay Fan Club made it using a frame for a record album and scrapbook supplies.  I believe these things can be found at Hobby Lobby.  I would love to display my Clay pins like this! :thumb

I still don't know how to get good distance pictures of Clay on my digital, but these will give you an idea of where Skip and I sat.  We were on the side on the sixth row.

Sounds like a fantastic concert.  Love that Clay and the gals looked so beautiful and treated the season concert with reverence.  I so hope Clay knows how much we love him and he felt the love last night.

PRISSY, your post brought tears to my eyes as I could feel how deeply you felt when Clay finally sang your song.

It was wonderful reading about the concert last night.  I've been to two of his Cristmas tours in the past, but won't be able to go this year.  It sounds like it was absolutely wonderful.  I'm happy for all those who could attend.

Have to get back to work now.      :laugh:

Bye for now.

People are traveling. You need to give them time to do that. Uploading to the vaults and Clack Unlimited takes time.

I have a few minor suggestions for Clay's Christmas Concert, which was wonderful!

1.  A stool for Clay so he won't have to stand all the time.

2.  A black music stand for the speakers to set their stories on so they can face the audience more when they read.

3.  Also, the piano or orchestra sometimes played at the beginning or end of the stories, and it was hard to hear the speakers.


About the music:  Clay changed up some of his arrangements of songs from the album and some were even a little jazzy; trying something new.  Of course, I think it's hard to improve on perfection and I believe the Christmas album is just about perfect.

 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v381/marilyon/EMOTICONS/normalwave-1.gif)

I am going to try to write a recap, even though I have had no time to get my photos downloaded - as Meesa said - it takes to much time, and we took so many that I am going to have to go down to the office to our larger computer to get that done - downloading them here would slow this computer to a crawl - it is so old, and has so little memory left (like me!)(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v381/marilyon/EMOTICONS/roflmao.gif)

I chose Wichita because it was the nearest one to Louisiana (would have gone to St. Louis, too, but that concert was announced to late that we just couldn't add it in, too). It was a long drive - 12 hours with very few stops, but we always have fun on long drives - lots of Clay Christmas music this time!

About an hour out of Wichita Meesa called and told me that Clay was staying at our hotel - by the time we got there, that information was already all over the Boards! We stayed in the same hotel as Clay last Christmas, too (Jacksonville). It is always exciting to know that he is in the same building. There were some women that did not leave the lobby area for almost 24 hours straight - but of course Jerome is much better than that - I love how he got Clay out without anyone seeing him (my husband did )- just because he happened to be outside getting his usual daily walk in).

The night before the concert we went out to supper with Messa and some other Clay fans - it is always fun to meet new Clay people! 
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v381/marilyon/EMOTICONS/applause-1.gif)

The PreParty was wonderful - it is the second one I've attended given by the KC Fan Club, and they give an excellent party. I know that Meesa has worked on this for weeks. There was a silent auction section, a section with Clay items that could be won by buying tickets for drawings, and a Clay store where you could just buy items. The party was in a small convention center - Clay fans had the entire large room, and didn't have to worry about anybody else being disturbed by us. The food and company were great. We were at a table with Shirl/ClayObsessed, Skip and Prissy, and a very nice couple from Kansas City (she is a member of the KC Club). But there were many other people there that we had met at other concerts, and it was so good to see them again.

I know that a lot has been written on other Boards about security problems at this concert - I saw none of it. We left the PreParty at 6:30, and drove across the street to the Church. They were already letting people in. I put my camera in my coat pocket (I was not trying to hide it - we have been told (in error) by the Fan Club that someone had called and that cameras were allowed.) I just did not want to have to bother with a purse, since I was giving the cell cert. Lewis had his binoculars in a case that looks very much like a camera case - black with a long strap. We were not stopped or searched in any way. The people taking tickets (male, female, young and old) were obviously church members, not part of Clay's security. As we sat down we saw that almost everybody around us had cameras in their hands. One girl (she sat next to Lewis) came in later and said that she had had her camera hanging from her shoulder and was told that she had to go back to her car - that cameras weren't allowed!

The concert was, for lack of better words, breathtaking. I have always loved Clay in that suit with the long jacket (I see by last night's cell cert thread that he did not wear it in St. Louis). I keep saying (and I'm going to have to stop saying it) that he can't possibly get any better looking - and then he does. The stage at the church is large, but it barely contained the orchestra - their chairs came right up to the edge. I think that is why the stage was configured as it was - with Clay and the girls up high - it looked great, though! I wonder if the configuration will remain the same, or if he will be able to move around at later concerts. Clay looked so happy - and he sounded wonderful. I cried during "I'll Be Home For Christmas" because I know he won't be home for Christmas this year. He did, of course, lie to us and came back for a encore of All Is Well - after I had hung up from the cell cert! I should have known he would not really end the concert without singing that! For me, the concert would have been perfect if he had only sung Good News - but we can't have everything! I think this audience was made up of more church members than usual Clay fans. The audience was really reserved, but you could tell that everyone loved Clay. It was funny when Clay finally told us that we were allowed to scream in Church!  :laugh:  (Very near the end - and some fans did after that!). I'm sure there will be Clack - since we've gotten home, we've gotten an email from itickets - the company that sells event tickets for the Church - asking that we send pictures from Wichita for them to use in their advertisements for the Church!!!! I want to email them back and ask how could we possibly have photos when cameras are not allowed!   I'm sure there will be lots of Clack. Lewis only videoed one song - Mary Did You Know - because he knows it is my favorite. I will be posting it somewhere later - will have to check with Clandy on that.

I had not heard about the so-called fan making threats against Clay, or about there being added security at this concert until after the concert - if there was more security, Jerome certainly hid it well. I have been to other concerts with much more obvious security. We did not get a bus line (stood out and talked to fans for an hour before Clay came out and got onto the bus). We were told that he just could not do a bus line that night, and we did leave (I said in an earlier post that he probably came out and took individual pictures with everyone after we left   ). but it was very cold (25 degrees) and I really do not care that he did not shake hands. He has more to do the next few months than I see how he will get done. I want him to stay healthy and safe!

We had such fun - it was wonderful to see so many people again, and to get to meet some others for the first time. I am so grateful for a supportive Clay spouse - I would never have been able to take photos (Lewis took 189 photos - it will take a long time to get them downloaded and edited!) and cell cert at the same time (even though from what I have read my call didn't come through very well). But at least we tried! This will be our only concert this Tour - but it is enough - the Christmas Season has Officially begun for me - I have gotten to see Our Honey!!!!

I have put a few Clay Photos from Wichita in the Thread that Franniek54 began yesterday, and I have sent Clandy the link to add others to the Photo Gallery,  but I have a few more non-Clay photos from Wichita - thought Prissy and Meesa may want to copy them later: :laugh:

Me, Prissy, and Shirl/ClayObsessed standing outside in the not-a-bus-line line!  :wink

A photo of Shirl to show how close she was sitting to the stage  (she is wearing a green shirt) - the Lighting Director had a member of the crew (or the Church?) stand in Clay's spot before the concert to get the lighting right. I stood up and took this from my seat, so I was pretty close myself!

Three shots of the PreParty - the sign-in table, a shot of the room, and a shot of the table where you could just buy Clay items (there were also silent auction and raffle tables). I bought a 2008 calendar - now I won't have to make one as I did last year!  :clap
