Reported at CV -
Clay was heard practicing Because You Love Me and When I See You Smile....with a band! And, something else that they can't figure out. Lots of security there.

Truth is we could do this now - but I think Clay might draw the line at that.
Another spoiler "Everything I don't Need"
Someone who actually does work there says that Clay is wearing some college sweatshirt, sweat pants, green socks and sandals - possibly spiky hair and she's going back in to let us know if he is wearing glasses.
No glasses!

toni just called back. She has an underground spy network with the kitchen staff going in and reporting back. As reported " St. John's sweatshirt, sandals and green socks, no glasses - she asked the guy to go back in and check on the glasses!
"Everything I Don't Need" Dies...... Started it. Stopped. Started again and sang the whole thing. Dies.....
She phoned again "Where I Draw The Line" Omg!
There are about 25 of them there - the rest are upstairs getting ready. She's not leaving until clay leaves.

They are being so silly! Marriot Lady says he was only going to sing for 20 minutes tonight but you are so nice he'll probably sing longer.
Now he singing Because You Love Me again.

Awww I bet he misses singing. Definitely a drummer and a guitar. IBG says it's hard to tell.

Checking in from Raleigh. Joanie Mason and I went to the BAF Round Table Discussion this morning. It was great fun as well as highly informative and inspiring. Faye showed up afterwards and we chatted with her for a bit. She told us that Raleigh and Durham love little Parker. They lick and kiss him at every opportunity. He now weighs 10 pounds. Parker and Jaymes will be now joining Clay in N.Y. for the duration of Spamalot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a brief report from NYmom
I talked to NYmom who is lucky enough to be at the gala. She said the roundtable this morning was great and the screening of the film Including Samuel very inspirational but heartbreaking at the same time. More updates as I get them! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote: WooHoo! Libby checking in! I'm sitting in my hotel room watching football (the Bulldogs are ahead so far!) while my friend gets ready and then it will be my turn in the bathroom. LOL! We're going down a little before 5 pm.
That's wonderful about the songs! I wondered if we would have a band or maybe just a piano or even just a backing track. Thanks for the information!
I didn't attend the roundtable because several people from my volunteer group attended but I did get to see the "Including Samuel" movie. It is really wonderful and I recommend it a lot. There is a website where you can order it that I think you could find by googling the movie.
Our information packet included a "rubber bracelet" like the livestrong bracelet in yellow with 2008 Champions of Change written on it. I would guess that there will be close to 500 people here. I'm at table 24 and I have friends at table 46. Hope I can see Clay! I understand that last year his table was by the coffee table and folks who never drank a cup of coffee in their life were getting cups that night! LOL!
My turn to get beautiful! Back for more tonight! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi, Checking in from the Marriott! Didn't go to the roundtable but my roomies did. Said it was great and that Jerry Aiken is a terrific guy. Went to see Including Samuel. The parents of Samuel were there. The father made the movie. So inspirational. More than a few tears were shed. Just a few more hours and we will be in the presence of the one and only Clay Aiken! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ silent auction items
