Clay Blogs About Philly "Hand Shake Line" Issue

Clay left a quick note about why he wasn't allowed to come out to the "hand shake line" last night after the Philly show. He explains that Mann Center staff did not allow him to come out due to security concerns.

In the same blog, Clay noted that he was "Currently Listening to: Quiana complaining"... isn't he such a riot?!?

The CB's Dediclaytion explained what happened at the venue last night:

After waiting about an hour about ball park 300 people were waiting. A few girls from the venue came out and tried to get us to leave but none of us were gonna go until we heard from Jerome, Mary....definitely someone from TC. Finally Jerome comes out and basically said "yes, he's coming out." He got everyone to form two lines on either side of the driveway. The lines were formed and we were at the very top of the ramp right where the bus was, Jerome was and people from the Mann Center. We heard everything that was said.

Two ladies from the staff were very adamant about not allowing us to wait for Clay. One of the ladies was actually yelling/screaming at Jerome, saying we were being disrespectful for waiting but of course we weren't leaving b/c Jerome said he was coming. Jerome was doing everything he could to get them to allows us to see Clay. He even said "I've already told these people he's coming out. If we tell them no now, they're still going to wait." The people at the Mann Center were merely concerned with our safety, their safety and the safety of their staff. After about 10 minutes of Jerome trying to reason with them and them yelling at him he came out and said the following to us...

"Per the venue, from them, not me, they will not allow Clay to come out." Boos and Yells came from the crowd. People even walked right up to members of the Mann staff and cursed and screamed nasty remarks to them. People were threatening to write letters of complaint and refused to come back for future concerts.
