Straight From The Clayboard GalaCert - Gala News For Those Who Couldn't Be There
As you all know, tonight is The Bubel Aiken Champion of Change Gala in Raleigh. Many of our friends have been lucky enough to be able to attend the gala. Because of that there is a great Galacert at The Clayboard tonight, with various fans phoning in details about the Gala. The actual Galacert starts on Page 12 of the thread.
The two most exciting things that I have read from the Galacert are that Clay has a full beard and moustache (be still my heart), and that someone who works for the Gala said that Clay has a surprise for us. What could it be? A TV show he will be on? A new record label? Another CD this year? I can hardly wait to find out if this is true and what it is!!
Here are some items from some of the fans at the Gala that have been called into The Clayboard Galacert:
- From CV and xxx4clay
Update!!!!!!!!!
Clay is there!
Full Beard!!! Dark Hair!!!!!!! He is gorgeous!!!!!!! Natch! - From CV:
Spoke with curiousgladys and Claysfayeorite and they think they saw Jaymes Foster walk by. Also in the program it talks about the skating special and says '...currently looking at locations in Nevada and FLORIDA!'
Also it was reported by someone working the Gala that Clay has a surprise for us! Now it can't be the beard because that news has already spread but I wonder what it could be? - Gala update from toni7babe -
Clay is sitting a table next to Linda Loveland and Jamie. Jaymes, Quiana, and Jesse are also at the table. Jerome is there doing his Jerome thing.
Clay looks gorgeous! (You may have already guessed this.) toni didn't have an up close view but he has some bangs, sorta off to the side according to her, hair longish. Dark suit she thinks.
stripedshirts has an up close and personal view and should be able to give us more. - From the CH:
Invisible926 on the phone again.
They are in one of the smaller dining rooms for now.
Jaymes stopped near their table. She is very cute, leopardskin top, skirt with ruffled bottom and boots. She's been hanging out in their room, very friendly and selling raffle tickets. She's prettier in person than in pictures. (She must have said she's very cute three times.)
Diane Bubel just came into their room.
Report that his hair is nice and between that and the dark beard that you wouldn't recognize him if you didn't know it was him. - From whatever at CH..
Sunnydays just called me from the dining room. Boy, it's LOUD there! It seems that, as has been mentioned above, there is the main dining room and then perhaps 3 satellite rooms. Guests are not necessarily seated with their companions and there is a great mix. Sunnydays says that that's not a bad thing....it's an opportunity to meet some fans you may not get to meet ordinarily. She told me some things we already know....like who is there in Clay's party, how Clay looks, and that Jesse and Quiana are listed in the program. A table with coffee was made available, set up within view of Clay's table. Funny how EVERYONE drinks coffee, isn't it? *g* Cell connections are spotty depending on the location. - PER CH
Got off the phone a while ago with MLK973 and beagle2.
MLK973 says the beard is about a half an inch to three quarters of an inch long. She says he looks as good as she's ever seen him! Right up there with Tyra. Hair is similar to Tyra hair but with the beard. Bangs a little to the side.
They said the M&G was fast but he was very happy, funny and friendly. He said he knew he had met many of them before but to forgive him for not remembering names.
beagle2was worried about her bid on the signed Look What Love has done CD. She thought she had it, then someone doubled her bid. She was in a quandry whether to bid more.
They say about 400+ people there - Gala Update from toni7babe -
(I hope I can remember all this)
Clay's hair is longish - long in the back. He has on a dark suit - brown she thinks, with a pinkish-reddish tie.
He seems to be having a great time - talking and laughing expecially with Linda Loveland.
Kristy is there - wearing a two piece pink outfit.
Jaymes is circulating and selling raflle ticket! She likes toni's shirt!
Mary is there.
WRAL is there filming - may be something on the news later. - Faye is selling raffle tickets too.
No glasses.
Dinner was Steak/Salmon Asparagus Mashed potatoes, salad, cheesecake served wine and champagne.
Dr. Brown Suit with a hot pink tie! - OK folks...just got off the phone with Clandy. I will try to remember everything. She said over and over that Clay looks fantastic. He looks very happy. He is perfect...his hair is perfect.
He is sitting with Linda Loveland on one side....Jamie on the other. Jesse next to Jamie....Jaymes next to LInda. Jaymes looks great too. Diane Buble sat at Clandys table for a bit and said that they are ready to take the foundation to the next level. They hope to get corporate people on the board.....its all good.
Clandy said the Wacovia setting is PERFECT....the city is beautiful, all very nice.
Oh...Clay doesn't look skinny or chubby....just PERFECT!!!
Oh..people have cameras....there should be pictures.
She doesn't know about any surprises....she is looking forward to the concert. She told Jaymes how happy she was that Jaymes was there...she agreed. - from the ch - clay
Clay saying something about "You can have my seat". I think some people snuck forward.
I talk a lot about how I believe that each place that I've been in my life has given me a lot of opportunities
He's talking about how working at each place led to something else. YMCA to Special Ed to Charlotte
And here is more....Gala photos that is. If there is anyone more handsome in the world, I can't imagine who it is. Enjoy these photos. I sure did!
