• LBFCA - The Broads have done it again. Check out "You Might Be Going Through Clay Withdrawal" at the LBFCA site. It'll give you a much needed chuckle!!

I've never seen this photo before! Casper at Casper's Place says: "this was taken at a Krispy Kreme charity signing in Raleigh." Note the thudly stubble. :)

ConCLAYve has a nice blog about why music is the "shorthand of emotion"

meerkat chitchat has some ... um... surprising photoshopped photos of Clay... 'viewer discretion strongly advised - PG content'

Hobbies' new JBT montage - 90's medley, ICMYLM, IWALY (highly recommended)

Marhaven is recommending a cool project- Frame Clay onto your wall! (see photo on the right)

According to Claynecticut at The Clayboard - "Was watching Dane Cook's (comedian) "Tourgasm" show...in the most recent episode he got sick and flew to NY to see a doctor there...the doctor's office had signed cd's all along the wall and Clay's MOAM was up there!"

Confessions of a Bad Clay Fan on how American Idol is now expired... "I like American Idol. I liked it in 2003 when it brought me Clay. I still like it. I enjoy watching it every season. I don't think the show is now pointless and irrelevant since it already discovered the biggest bestest idol the world will ever know."
