With Adam out on tour with Queen, the main chat threads are relatively quiet but we still need a place where we can discuss all things Adam that are not Q+AL concert-related. However, I did choose a Q+AL+Band photo for this month’s thread since there are many great Adam photos and mlg posters in the concert threads for everyone to drool over. And after all, it is the summer of Queen + Adam Lambert!!

Enjoy the chat!

    Hello all and thanks for the greetings! I will soon dig back in Glamnation records for my unfinished posts, watch the vids again, and complete the uncompleted Smile

    Just seeing texts and posts from last night in Houston makes me so happy for everyone with upcoming shows. Adam and the boys continue to work their magic!

  2. ultimathule says:

    Loved your post, too, goatiegarden – so interesting to read.

    So you actually have goats in your garden? Funny, my daughter and her partner live out in a rural area and have chickens in a coop they just built. Now talking about getting a goat – sent them a book on raising them – whatta hoot.

    It turns out Chicago is the only Q+AL concert for me.

    asif— I am so glad you were able to come to the Chicago shoe and be with everyone at the Greek restaurant. It was such a great pleasure to meet you and also meet your family who were great sports surrounded by us Aller fans! “The show must go on” and there will be more opportunities for us to get together as Adam’s career moves forward.

    Dear Ron Happy 37th Anniversary to you and your partner in love, Heart G. May you have each other for many, many more years Rose Rose Rose and have a wonderful anniversary dinner tonight with some of your many dear friends. Kiss

  5. angelowal says:

    Oh geesh, now I’m having a total ‘bold’ fail, sorry Silly .

  6. little dutchess says:

    yes, Ron all best wishes from the duke and me for your 37 year anniversary! It’s along time (we’re quickly approaching 41 years ourselves!) And many, many more. So looking forward to seeing you this weekend! It’s been 3 years…time flies!

  7. Ron says:

    Awwww, you kind people! Thank you so much for the thoughtful anniversary wishes!

    Everything is fine now, and going to be even better at 6pm when we meet with TLKC and rs for dinner, but we got off to a very rocky start at 7:30am!

    Gil left at that time to go downstairs to pick up his sports jacket at the dry cleaners that he’s going to wear tonight and then come back with it before heading off to work.

    15 minutes pass. 20 minutes. 25 minutes. Where’s Gil?!?? It shouldn’t take THAT long – the dry cleaners is right downstairs.

    After 40 minutes and still no Gil, building Security calls me. Hearing this, my heart is now in my mouth!

    Turns out, Gil is trapped between floors in a stuck elevator!

    There he stood, by himself, holding on to his jacket in that elevator for what amounted to an hour and 20 minutes before they were able to get him out.

    I was a wreck. He was as calm as could be when he walked through the door. He said, “There was no point in getting worked up about it. I knew they were doing everything they could to help. Only thing to do was wait”. He hung up his jacket and went to work. (I’m the emotional one in the family. He’s the one with the level head).

    Oh, geez! It’s 3pm. I only have 3 hours to get ready for dinner! Big Smile

    Thanks again for thinking of us!!

    And – asif! Happy Anniversary to you!! Rose

    Oh Ron …..sorry but just had a vision of you and not Gil stuck in the elevator this morning. Thank goodness all turned out so well. This video pretty much sums it up, ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL

    little dutchessHeart
    You’re very kind and sweet.

    We seemed to run into each other a few times in Chicago.
    At the party we got to talk to you and the Duke.
    I asked him about your username and he told me the story.
    Hubby was impressed with you both and all the ALLer’s there.

    Meeting with all of you in Chicago is so wonderful that I have the best time of my life.

    My daughter … later said, “Mom … I’ve never seen you that happy.” Grin

  21. angelowal says:

    asif You are such a sweet lady Angel (with such a bawdy sense of humour) and I loved meeting you in Chicago. I’m so disappointed that you wont be coming to more concerts; I had just assumed that you were coming to Toronto this weekend Frown

    I hope we meet again during the next Tour that we embark upon Hug Right

    I have moved the Queen+AL concerts from June-July 2012 into their own category under the “Queen+AL” drop-down navigation menu up top. These concerts were previously filed under Trespassing, but I think it’s better to have all the Queen stuff in one place.

    I don’t want to rush this tour into the past but I SECOND THAT EMOTION!!!!

  32. rs says:

    Had an absolutely lovely dinner last evening with TLKC, ron, & gil. It was a great opening to the QAL festivities. I just wish that I didn’t have one ear glued to the news from home. They are shooting rockets to Jerusalem!

  33. TLKC says:

    Have a lovely afternoon with rs at the AGO and then a wonderful dinner with Ron and Mr. Ron. So the Glam weekend has already started.

    Last night, we had a discussion about the whole Freddie/Adam “thing”. rs used the Beatles to explain her thoughts and since we are all…..29…. we understood. She suggested that Queen fans who are emotionally attached to Queen and their music have great difficulty separating Freddie from the important moments that Queen songs marked for them, just as the Beatles marked all of the phases of her life as she lived them.

    This is so true. There is a big difference between a fan and a FAN. I loved Queen in the late 70’s/ early 80’s and, probably because I was into theatre and had a UK-saturated upbringing, thought Freddie was amazing, but I was never IN LOVE with him or the band. I could sing along to about 30 of their songs but, to save my life, I couldn’t have given you a bio of the band or any member outside of Freddie (and then only the bare bones.)

    From a live-viewing POV, I didn’t care a whit about Queen + PR and am only into this reincarnation of the band because of Adam.

    For some fans, though, Queen and Freddie were, and are, much, much more. Jian Gomeschi, for example, has written a whole book about his coming of age, the focus of which is Freddie. When Queen hit the big time, Jian was a 13-year-old, Persian/English wanna-be musician whose family had emigrated to a very suburban community in Canada. For him, Freddie personified his inner rebellion and growing sense of self (which included the exceptionalism of his ethnicity). For that reason, Q+A will never work for him.

    Freddie is un-over-look-able and that pretty much has to be addressed by any self-respecting music critic at the beginning of his or her review. The divide between fan and FAN also has to be anticipated by the writer. So be it.

    Hi rs, we crossed posts!

    Seriously sorry that the news from home is so worrying.

    I wish the news back home wasn’t so troubling rs and that you could have complete peace of mind while you’re here.

    It was absolutely wonderful to see you last night! Thank you and TLKC for making our anniversary a very special occasion indeed! The food and especially the company were both excellent!

    I feel so lucky to be able to say that I’ll see you tomorrow and then again on Sunday for the concert!

    It just doesn’t get much better than this! Clap Clap Clap

    Received a text from little duchess that she and the duke rented a car in Buffalo earlier this afternoon and were heading for the Canadian border. Should be in or close to the city (depending on Friday night traffic, of course.) YAY!

  40. TLKC says:

    It says content unavailable, Ron.

  41. Ron says:

    The link works for me, TLKC Confused

  42. AL says:

    The link works for me

    Do we need to have an account on Facebook? I get the same message as TLKC. I’m not on Facebook.

  43. Ron says:

    Hi AL! I’ll just delete it then. No, you don’t need a Facebook account to view photos on Facebook. I don’t know why the link didn’t work.

  44. AL says:

    Hi AL! I’ll just delete it then. No, you don’t need a Facebook account to view photos on Facebook. I don’t know why the link didn’t work.

    Hi Ron! Belated anniversary greetings! I know that I can view some Facebook photos so was jusy wondering if some accounts have settings that allow only Facebook users to see their photos and posts? You should keep the link. Others might be able to see it.

  45. Ron says:

    Thanks AL for the anniversary wishes!

    This link will work:

    All this fuss for something that’s probably not all that interesting.

    Big Smile

  46. Ron says:

    little duchess and the Duke are here! They just checked into the hotel.

  47. TLKC says:

    Ha ha! P was at the hotel checking out parking rates and bumped into them. Our welcome wagon!!!!

    P, M and milkywayfairy are on their way out of town for the Detroit show but they’ll be back in time for Sunday’s concert. Glamberts are hardy creatures and distance is no obstacle

    I think cher is probably here by now, too. Riskylady and Riskyhubby are still on their cross-Canada train trip for another 12 hours or so,

    Got a call from Orbit last night saying my 0510 flight (to SF) had been
    canceled. Panic. Drove to airport (only 5 miles) and found
    flight changed to 0540 to Denver. Connecting to Toronto gets
    in 15 minutes later than original. So no big deal. Tried to pre-check in
    this morning on-line,
    (up to 24 hours before flight) but couldn’t because airline
    (united) agent had to see passport. So drove again to airport
    this afternoon – getting to know that place – and got pre-
    checked in. Now just have to get thru TSA at 0dark30 in the
    morning and I’m on my way. Why I drive if at all possible.

  49. JOJOSIE says:

    Jlurks, I’m glad you drive a lot of the time as it made my daughter and my trip to Chicago a lot easier. My DH said as we were leaving that he felt sorry for him being in the car with the two of us for that long. He doesn’t know that besides being generous, Jim is warm, smart and interesting and can hold his own in a conversation. He actually had three gals talking as he had his GPS on some of the time. I was a little down last week, after so much fun in Chicago, the glow had worn off, when in my mailbox appeared one of the shows program books that I had missed buying in Chicago and later they were sold out. I really had not been happy about it and had mentioned that in e-mails. The day it arrived I was rejuvenated and made a call to say thanks to jlurks and a call to Mils to just talk and talk and talk. I wish I was going to Toronto but I am happy that I did see the Q+A show and it’s off my bucket list and I’m certainly old enough to have one but don’t feel like it. Adam keeps you feeling young.
