Hello everyone,
The suspense is getting to me...
As I await for clews (
Clay-n
ews) on whether:
- my story has been chosen for the concert I will be attending in two weeks
- my name will be picked for a meet and greet
... well, my middle-aged heart is pitter-pattering in ways it hasn't done for a few years now.
It doesn't help that Clay has blogged quite often in recent weeks, giving fans feedback on his progression through the thousand-plus stories of ours he has been reading - and each time I have realized that my story
is the kind of story he is looking for... A gal goes quickly into fantasy-land! I've already been on that stage in my mind - not that I like stages, but lordy what would I give to be
onstage with Clay Aiken.
Or anywhere close to that young man with the wise soul, the sparkling smile and silken voice. I would love to just thank him, especially for the joy he brings to my life in so many ways.
In one of his recent blogs, Clay told us to prepare in a certain way for his concerts, in case our story is chosen. And I'm actually thinking of going out this evening to get what I would need -
in case mine is chosen! But then, perhaps I would be jinxing myself if I did so!
All I can say is - I'm going to have tears of joy for whoever is chosen for either the meet and greet or the story-reading - and I am so looking forward to his upcoming concert. It is the day before my birthday too, and I can think of no better gift than seeing Clay again, for my third time ever.
On top of it all, my sweetie will be going with me, to his first Clay concert! That is a source of happiness, and of trepidation too - will he like Clay? I know he likes Clay's music and he admires the person that Clay is, but he is nowhere near the fan I am, so how will he like Clay in concert? I believe he will thoroughly enjoy it. Over the years, we have heard stories of some sceptical people, forced by family members to accompany loved ones to a Clay concert, and who have found his concerts to be one of the best they had ever attended! I am so hoping that will be the case for my sweetie. No matter what, I love him for coming with me and for being happy for me - because I will be happy seeing Clay again, no matter what.
Good luck to all of you who have submitted stories and/or submitted your name for a meet and greet! Can't wait to hear live on Monday night about the kickoff of this Christmas tour.
Take care,
-- ClayKat
