I was thinking about how to spend the next month, week and four days until ATDW comes out (besides my full-time job, family life, housework, volunteering, etc...) ;-)
Suddenly it came to me: why don't we make a collective list of the 1000 different ways in which we all love Clay Aiken. And have it ready by September 19th, the release date for ATDW. Sounds ambitious? Yup. Impossible? No way! Not with the power of the Claynation.
Join me? Add your own ways in a comment to this post and I'll add yours to the list, along with your (nick)name if you like.
