Today is a Clay-versary for me

Hello everyone,

When I woke up this morning and noticed the date, I wondered why August 25th just made me feel happy... Then I remembered! Six years ago today is the first time I saw Clay Aiken live in concert (but not the last time!).

It was August 25, 2005 in Toronto, Canada and Clay was part way through his Jukebox Tour.

What a night! And what a ride since then...

I started this blog soon after that first concert, and wrote about that magical evening in a three-part post.

I re-read it myself to put myself back there and remember what it was like to be a Clay-concert-newbie. If you would like to read "Me and Clay's Jukebox tour", here you go:

• Part 1
• Part 2
• Part 3

And here's one of my favourite pictures from that concert (I didn't take it), snapped while Clay was singing "Tears Run Dry". Enjoy!

At the very beginning of the video chat:

Clay on video chat this evening!

Hello fellow Clayfans,

I seem to be following the ebb and flow of Clay's public life, since I don't come here very often these days, just as we don't see or hear from him too often.

However, this evening will be different: Clay will be participating in his first live video chat with us! You have to be a member of Clay's online fan club to be able to participate.

Will you be there? I know I will. I'll do my best to share with you afterwards, and let you know how it all went.

Hope to see you in the chatroom this evening (video chat begins at 8:30 p.m. EST)!
