Tidbits 6/29

The Genesee Theater in Waukegan, IL is already promoting Clay's November 29 Christmas concert there... this was sent our to venue members by email today. Thanks to the CB's LUVclay26 for the cap.

• We have a bunch of tour mentions today... the summer tour kicks off in 5 days:
• Kane County Chronicle (Christmas tour)
  
• Northwest Herald (Christmas tour)
• Post-Tribune (Christmas tour)
• Winston-Salem Journal Relish Now urges North Carolinians to audition for American Idol 7 -

  For the second year in a row, there are no auditions in North Carolina, but there are three in the Southeast: Miami, Atlanta and Charleston, S.C. Local talent will have to make a trip to audition, and I hope that some of you give it a try: Think how boring season six was with no Chris Daughtry, Clay Aiken or Fantasia Barrino representing the state.

• Columbus Dispatch - Clay article mentions "Idol: The Musical" and upcoming summer concert in Columbus -
  

  When Idol: The Musical hits the stage in New York next month, Clay Aiken won't be there.
  
  But there will be a bust of Raleigh's hometown American Idol star onstage, and someone singing Burnin' Hunk o' Clay to it.
  
  Clay Aiken will appear in person July 21 for a Picnic With the Pops concert with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra on the lawn of Chemical Abstracts Service, 2540 Olentangy River Rd. Call 614-228-8600.

• Looks like the horse "Aiken for Clay" is racing tonight at Meadowlands Racetrack in New Jersey... this guy has been mentioned in the press a few times in the past year... very cool name, huh?
  

• Nothing here yet.
