"The Clayboard, Clayversity and Clackhouse will all be hosting parties on Saturday -- a sort of Block Party for the fan community, with games and activities for everyone! You'll be able to hop from board to board and post - even if you're not a member! Sort of one huge open house/block party! We'll have games and activities to participate in across the boards."

We found this really cute story from the CB's Claydreamer03. (FYI: I am working on the IWCY.com website with Claydreamer... check it out!)
I just got off the phone with Verizon Wireless.. my bill was a little "steep" and HE was working with me trying to see how I could lower my payments.. I was checking out my new website that I am working on while talking to him.. and as you enter it.. it starts playing.. IWCY..!!! LOUD.. I am like..."Oops, sorry about that..!" He said.. "Oh, thats okay, I love that song!" I said.."really, you know Clay?" He said, "Of course.. he is a very talented young man! I also read his book.. I was surprised to see all that coming from such a 'young man'...!!!!" I was so excited... He said.. "I keep checking to see when his new CD will be out..!!" I told him it looks like it will be sometime in May.." He was very happy to hear that... He knew all about Clays organizations and that he was a Unicef Embassador..!
OMG.. I am going to work, wasn't too happy about that.. BUT I AM SMILING NOW!!! This just MADE MY DAY!!!
Have a good day!

****EDITED TO UPDATE 03-01-06!!****
I was still having some trouble removing a game that was put on my husbands cell phone.. So, I had to go into the actual Verizon Store.. A young man came to up to help me and as we were going over.. (again).. what I had on my phone. He reminded me I was paying .99 per month for ring back tones.. (which are what people here instead of rings when they are calling me) Anyway.. I told him that I knew that and that I wanted to know WHEN were they going to get CLAY AIKEN ringbacks..??? He looked at me and said.. "OH, So you want people to hear INVISIBLE..HUH?" I told him.. "Wow, so you know Clay Aiken..huh? He said.. "OF COURSE!!" I was pleasantly surprised...to say the least.. Twice now at Verizon, there has been someone who mentioned something positive about Clay..!! I told him I would go home and tell everyone at the board to go to Verizon because they definately hire VERY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE!!! He smiled and said.. "THANKS!" (But he still doesn't know when they will get Clay on ring backs.. )

Once there, click on "Add Brick" at the top left side of the page. You can add a brick for your state, your fan group, or yourself and then leave a message for Clay! Wouldn't it be great if Clay's fans added the most bricks for the month of March!! Its easy to do, so head over there and add a brick!
There was a cute mention on NPR's talk show "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" last Sunday. The topic for that show was predictions for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games and the first question to the 'panel' was: "What will they do to make the 2010 Vancouver Olympics more interesting?"
Panelist Mo Rocco's prediction, referring to AI's incredibily high ratings and a figure skater at the Turin games who made a quadruple lutz and didn't make the cut, was:
Olympic Skaters Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia Barrino and Clay Aiken all compete for the Gold, but the highlight will be Ruben Studdard's Quadruple Lutz !
We'd like to formally welcome Jan Dixon (J4Clay) who will post news on our main site.

Its always so good to find a radio station that is playing Clay's songs. On the main page of Raleigh's Sunny 93.9 is a listing of the the top 10 favorite songs that they play. Guess what #10 is!!! If you guessed "Invisible", you are.......right!!!
Head over to 93.9's website to see the list by clicking here. Look at the right side of the screen and click on "Sunny Favorites" to see the listing...scroll down to #10-INVISIBLE!!!
Thank you, Sunny 93.9, for playing Clay's music on your station!
Raleigh radio station Sunny 93.9 got a suprise phone call from Clay who sang Happy Birthday to morning show announcer Madison this morning. She interviewed Clay back in 2004 (mp3 download of that is up at ATCA)
The podcast titled "The One Thing - 02/28/06" is now up on their site and includes the Clay clip.
The CB's raleighlady1 e-mailed Madison and got this reply:
Can you believe he did that for me? He is the epitome of CLASS. I just love him dearly. He's mother raised a great young man. That really made my Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The station has been a longtime supporter of Clay... in fact,"Invisible" is on their top 10 favourites list!
GREAT NEWS!!!! For the week ending February 25, Clay has moved up to #18!!! Last week he was at #26, so that is 8 spots that Clay has moved up!!!! See, from the look on Clay's face in this picture, he is quite happy to hear the news!!! To check out the list, click here. Note that under Clay's name at #18, Dean has put this description, "Idol Winner"!!
Clay has been on "Lycos 50 with Dean" for 140 weeks!!! That is just at 2-1/2 years!! We sure don't want him to fall off the top 50 list, so be sure to keep on searching, searching, searching!!! You can search on the web for news items or pictures. Be creative, but be sure to search!!
Also, in talking about the show, "American Idol", here is what Dean at Lycos had to say about Clay, "Now that the music competition has begun in earnest we expect that the show that brought us Clay Aiken (#18) will try to catch lightning in a bottle and discover the next singing sensation."
As you probably know, Clay made it on MSNBC's "It List" last week. Right now he is at #5 on the list, but you can be a part of moving him up to #1!!!
Click here: MSNBC to go to the website. Follow these steps:
Step #1 – To the right of Clay's picture is a gray area with a "Move Up" button. Click it and it will move Clay up one step. Keep clicking it until he is up to the #1 spot where he belongs!!!!
Step #2 – Click the "Done" button which is at the bottom of all the pictures. You MUST click this button for your selection to count.
Step #3 - A box will come up that asks you if this is the order you want the 5 celebrities to be in. Make sure Clay is at #1 and click "Yes".
Let's keep Clay on the list and get him to #1. Check back to the site each week!
We're getting unconfirmed reports that the new issue of Entertainment Weekly will have news about the new album including:
If you remember, back in 2003, Clay was in the Walt Disney World Parade. At the Big Florida Country website is a series of pictures of the filming of this parade, and it includes several of Clay!! In the one that is included in this CDD article, you can't see much of Clay's face, but from what you can see, you can tell he's being Snarky Clay!!! Check out the guy behind him cracking up!!
In addition to the pictures at this site, you can also click and download a short video of Clay singing "Santa Claus is Coming To Town". So, click HERE to walk down a Christmasy Memory Lane with Clay!!!
Horrah! Clay made MSNBC's hot "It" list, entering at #5. Last week, MSNBC asked users which former Idol contestant deserved to be on the list.
Now that he's on it, it's our duty to keep him on the list. Please head on over to MSNBC.com to vote for Clay everyday this week by dragging Clay's photo from #5 to #1 and then scrolling down to click "Done".
MSNBC posted this awesome summary about Clay on the list:
With "American Idol" trouncing the Olympics and all other comers in the ratings, it's no suprise that the most popular "Idol" contestant in the show's history made out "It" list. The question is: Now that he's on it, will we ever be able to get him off. Claymates, do your worst!
