asif– Happy Birthday! What an amazing birthday celebration you’ve had! Enjoy the rest of your travels. We’re looking forward to your recap.
Clinton’s OpEd piece in the Washington Post: It’s time to overturn DOMA.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/bill-clinton-its-time-to-overturn-doma/2013/03/07/fc184408-8747-11e2-98a3-b3db6b9ac586_story.html
So I just looked up the recipe for a Singapore sling. It’s been years since I drank hard liquor; I was def a gin girl, there’s pretty much nothing you could make with gin that wouldn’t appeal to me enough to at least try it. Gotta say the Singapore sling sounds prety awesome, the serious one. Lots of shortcut versions on the web with fewer ingredients…a good mixed drink should have layers of flavor that hit in succession, something complex and interesting.
It was time to overturn DOMA when it was first enacted. It can’t possibly withstand Constitutional scrutiny, which everyone knew even then. They were just buying time and doing what they could to gum up the works.
IMHO, of course, but I studied and taught DOMA law when I was at the university.
Time for it to go.
Happy birthday asif sounds like you are having a great one. Never had a Singapore sling, I’ll have to look it up too.
Haha, cwm, that’s exactly my situation. If I was less squeezed by my family/job obligations, the distance would not stop me. Gay Pride alone would certainly be the source of extra eye-rolling. That alone would be worth it, come to think of it.
asif : Is today your actual birthday? Well Happy Birthday, then! I think you gave yourself the best birthday present ever with this concert! Well done, girl. And kudos to your husband. He must have earned some major brownie points.
Happy birthday asif, what a wonderful birthday week you’ve had.
Hate it that Adam is going to be here in Florida and I won’t be able to go. It’s too far away and my car won’t make that trip. Not sure I could get anyone to go with me either, particularly my husband. I can’t imagine him at a gay pride event. If Adam ever comes to Orlando or Jacksonville, I’m there! Might be able to do Tampa too.
Definitely am going to try and get to Miami!
Ellessay: My car might not make it either, but I;m going to get it checked out and keep my fingers crossed. How far away do you live from Miami?
I’m NW of Orlando, so it’s about a five hour drive, I believe. I haven’t been down there since I was a kid.
We’re still one income (mine) so money is tight. I don’t want to put the extra miles on my old car–trying to make it last as long as possible.
I’ve got daughters in Orlando and Jacksonville, and a niece in Tampa, so I’ve got a place to stay and transportation to any of those venues. Not sure I can talk them into a trip to Miami for a Gay Pride event. I don’t think any of them have ever been to Miami.

jlurks I got a surprise in the mail. Very
unexpected. You are so kind and generous thank you so much.
According to twitter, Adam was talked about tonight on 20/20. Evidently Barbara Walters talked about how even losers succeed on American Idol and mentioned him. I didn’t watch, but maybe someone on the west coast will catch the show.
Very interesting.

luval, tlkc, I posted on the planning thread about the Miami Beach event. If you come you can bunk with me if you don’t mind my clutter. I am a packrat. Just remember it’s Miami Beach, it’s on the beach and it’s hot as heck during the day with thousands of people packed together in a relatively small area. The humidity can be unbearable sometimes. Just preparing you northerners that aren’t used to this weather and it won’t even be summertime!
Adam’s segment on the VH1 100 Sexiest:

TLKC, so sorry you couldn’t see the Cantiello interview about the GB. I looked first on YouTube too, and couldn’t find them. Not on MTV either (they don’t seem to keep things very long.) Then I remembered Devenlane has almost everything. Maybe one of our guy geniuses here can convert them to a format you can view? AL, jlurks?
asif, Happy happy birthday! Looks like Adam did a good one for you, judging from the videos! And wow, that audience could saaaannng, they were so into it! Great celebration, and how nice that your hubby had a good comment.
riskylady, I cannot view them either being in Canada. I don’t have the “hide your IP” add-on and not sure I want to install it.
I did find a few sites which also had the videos though.

http://www.mtv.com/videos/news/459358/who-adam-lambert-was-flipping-off-at-the-amas.jhtml
Some other genius will need to convert those.
I will be posting the Jakarta concert thread later.
The concert starts at 8 PM Jakarta time (9 AM EDT, 6 AM PDT).
Remember that at 2 AM on Sunday (3/10/13), it is spring forward an hour (for those whose country or state or province does that).
We will lose an hour of sleep but that also means the concert will be an hour earlier or is that later?! I hate time changes!
At any rate, it will be at the time shown above if you adjusted your clocks.
.
Wow, AL, but you did find what I couldn’t!! I tried and failed on MTV.
Anyhoo, came back to post this nugget! Toooo funny, and this fandom is simply INCORRIGIBLE (and thank goodness for that)!

asif, wishing you a very happy birthday ! So happy to see you enjoying it all in Asia, a great show and new glambert friends
TLKC, yes I was in London McDonalds. But there was so many of us, I had never met anyone so it was a bit chaotic (I wasn’t yet in UK when dinner was, unfortunately). I sat next to riskylady and paulanation was across the table, talked with them mostly. And Cher I met on the venue before the concert
There will be 50 peeps on the dinner in Helsinki, half is Finnish, half around Europe & US. These get togethers are a big part of the concert fun, I realized my friends don’t understand it’s not only the concert I am going. It gives so much more to get excited about it before, during and after with other fans I love to read all these recaps from the shows, try to do my best later about Helsinki concert! If I am still alive

Glambulge. I put it on a private you tube account so you guys can watch it. Does anyone need the whole interview?
AL I installed a “hide your IP” add on, as you call it, as instructed by ron on Firefox, which isn’t my usual server (I use explorer or google chrome). Then when I want to watch something that is blocked here I just copy the url address, open firefox, paste it there, and voila, I can watch! It got too complicated to keep changing the address, so I just keep set for the US. It does really slow down the server, though, which is why I only go there when I want to watch something that was blocked.
I’m getting dizzy with all these threads. nkd posted amazing pics on the Singapore thread (like this little gem http://i.imgur.com/VtfpTe3.jpg), don’t miss. Let me try put a direct link to her post: http://www.adamlambertlive.org/2013/star-theatre-singapore-3813/comment-page-2#comment-62851
rs, yes not that I think about it, I may have tried it a while back and then decided it was not worth it. Most videos ended up on youtube eventually – and genius Aely just posted part 13 of that MTV interview! Thanks Aely!
Well, here’s another one to add to the collection! The Jakarta concert thread.
http://www.adamlambertlive.org/2013/live-skenoo-hall-jakarta-indonesia-31013
Many thanks to riskylady, AL and aely for working so hard to get that interview for me. Alas, AL and I are on the other side of the border and devenlane’s links are US-specific. I loved the portion aely posted. Jim is a hoot (forgot he was Glambert 6969.) Of course, it’s Adam’s favourite part, lol!
RE: DOMA. I’m with Kradamour. There was much political talk at the time about Clinton cravenly courting the middle by signing something that by rights he should have led on AND that he knew would not stand up in court. He’s been out of office for 12 years and it has taken him far too long to say so, imho. Maybe he just hated to admit that he was wrong. (Note: fellow Toronto Glamberts will tell you that this didn’t stop me from asking him for a hug when we bumped into him at the Ritz on the day of the first Hammersmith concert so, what can I say? He doesn’t tarnish easily, though goodness he should.)
HK Fan, Ron sent me a photo of you and hubby yesterday to help prod my memory and all I can say is woot! your hubby is hot!!!!! I bet we said hi to each other but my memory is a fog beyond Cher and the Ste-Agathers. I am sure we will meet at some point. My nephew may be teaching English in Korea in the next year and I can see an Asian trip timed to an Adam tour (if our Rock God so ordains.)
Had dinner with Sleepwalker1877 last night and she recalls the Ste-Agathe moment with Kradamour because it appeared on the jumbotron but doesn’t know if there is a photo out there. I will check with the other FAB5-ers. We are not sure if our tiny perfect traveller milkywayfairy is home from Asia yet but she is a big pic taker so possibly.
( Raises hand… Me me me !! Please ))
How is it that I’ve never seen this? I remember the shirt, and the ring, and that he may have also sat down with Michelle Collins that same day, but, missed this one. And I love Cantiello too…
We were talking about the CBS morning show on the other thread. I never saw this snippet. Maybe some of you did. God he looks amazing.

asif You really know how to celebrate a birthday! Good going, girl! Bet it was fantastic. And may the rest of your 29th year be so!!!
Happy birthday asif!!
Glad you are feeling better krads! And Ladynorth too.
Well, we still are waiting for vids from Jakarta. And then 5 days until the next show.
I also wonder about Adam’s tweets about Idol so early now, and wonder if he has heard from Kelly? Hope she’s OK. Wonder what Sauli is up to? Wonder if he’ll be at the Russia shows?
Wonder how the electrode is working? TeeHee. By all evidence, dammit, it is doing it’s job.
( Disclaimer: this is just a humorous theory, all you lurkers. Not trying to start a rumor. Just humor. )
But really, where did it go?
Oh, Miami. Too far. Too tempting. Too expensive. No time off from work. But, if their Pride Fest is anything like ours, all sorts of people go. Gay, straight, whatever flavor you are. There’s good entertainment. It’s very inclusive. And super OTT.
Wonder what other one-offs he’ll end up doing this year?
BB needs to make a CD. Must put out more music ASAP.
I’m all random thoughts today.
Loved the VH1 #29 thingy.
In terms of sexy videos: FYE. Hands down his best vid to date. IMHO.
mils– I agree with you. The FYE video is incredibly sexy. It’s my favorite music video EVER!
I have a favor to ask, does anybody have an mp3 of Stay from Nagoya? I have a budding Glambert ( yes, another one!!),who loved the video, but said he wants it in his IPod !!!
Thanks.
.
mils all I could find was Stay/Underneath combined.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/ttyjeb
mmm222 ITA FYE is my favorite video ever too of any artist!!!!!
glambotgram…When I tried to download that Stay/Underneath combination I got a warning about “known malicious site or something”. Maybe it’s just my computer.
luval I didn’t get that, I clicked on the blue button that says
“Click here to start download from sendspace”
Then told it to save file.
Five whole days till his next concert (how spoiled we have become) so with nothing else to do, lol, it seems to be time to reminisce. That is just what I did today. When I am in the car I only listen to Adam, and since last summer I have basically had Trespassing and the Queen/Adam concert on repeat play, but before I left for Malta I took the CD out of the player and since coming home I just had the radio on. So today, I pulled out my “Adam Sampler” a compilation CD I made while waiting for Trespassing to come out with samples of my favorite early, Idol, postIdol, and GNT songs. I didn’t even remember exactly what was on it, or the order, so I revelled all over again in hearing Dust in the Wind, Come to Me Bend to Me, Crazy, Tracks of My tears, etc, all the songs that made me fall in love with him in the first place. I got home before it was over but I know that I will hear some of my favorite acoustic songs, including Fantasy Springs WLL and Broken Open from Osaka which I haven’t heard in ages. I can’t wait to get into the car again. I love Trespassing and his concert vids, but when he hits and holds that note in Come to me Bend to Me I stop breathing and my insides turn to mush.
luval and mils I put it on my soundcloud

glambotgram…thanks, got it now.
A little OT, but humor me please. We all appreciate what an acoustic performance on German radio can do for a beautiful voice (NRJ, WWFM swoonworthy). Well, here’s the reigning Idol with an acoustic performance of Crazy.
