We don’t get very much on the members of Adam’s band, but here’s an entertaining video I just found with Monte Pittman and Tommy Joe Ratliff. It’s done by blogsters Juneau and Xena, who were lucky and found them in a bar and got this magical time with them.
For the complete article, go here.
Sorry I don’t have time to write more - but I wanted to let you know I’m still alive and breathing in San Diego!

This is a great little question and answer session that takes place inside a church!! It seems very intimate, and they point to the people when he is answering their questions!! It was a cute interview so…

Attention Houston Glambs and fans!
*** JUST IN - IT’S DEFINITELY ON!!!
We’ve been given information about a media/fan event just for Adam’s fans! Adam’s Houston show is Sept. 8 but POP Critic Joey Guerra is doing a special fan event tomorrow. So, if you’re in Houston tomorrow, get out your Glam & Glitter, and show up!
Have a great time at the event and the concert! Be sure and let us know everything about both!!
~ Carol ~
Here are the details we received:
What: Fan Interview with Joey Guerra; Houston Chronicle POP Critic
When: Saturday, August 28th, at 4PM,
Where : Meteor Club in Montrose, 2306 Genesee , Houston TX 77006 (See mapquest)
Glam it up! Wear your Adam t-shirts and all your Glitter! He wants to do interviews and pics.
The club will be closed so he will have it all for us!
We’re all excited to follow Adam on his Glam Nation Tour and check out the concert videos. I start my day by visiting Sue’s great tour articles to watch all the performances, imagining that I’ve been at each and every show. But let’s not get too carried away with the tour and forget we can make a real impact on TV/Radio by voting on VH1’s Top Twenty. Adam’s joyously playful video, If I Had You has slipped to the number 6 spot. I’ve only heard it once on my San Diego stations! We need to hear it so much we’re tired of it, if possible.
Click here to vote! You don’t even have to vote on the other 19 places, unless you want to. Just “drag and drop” Adam into the #1 box and click Submit. The artists are listed alphabetically by last name, so you have to scroll down a bit. It’s really easy to do it 5 or 10 times, or more. Immediately after voting hit the Rank ‘Em Again tab and vote again and again. Do you have 5 minutes everyday so you can help? Whattaya say Glambs? Can we do it?? Will you commit 5 minutes a day to Adam and If I Had You? If you go to the site, you’ll see that a certain American Idol Winner is also up for a vote. You can throw him some votes too, but only in the #2 or lower boxes!! Please don’t hate me - I’m ALL for Adam!!
The results come out on Saturday morning. It may be too late for us to really effect tomorrow’s standing, but we can certainly change next week’s, and the next and the next and the next!
~ Carol ~
I will say that we are missing suz’s video’s when she isn’t at the concert!! These are pretty good though, although I cannot find the opening medley OR WWFM… weird huh??
Go ahead and check out what I do have…

Night two of the spinning circus show from the Glam Nation Tour Concert at the South Shore Music Circus in Cohasset, Massachusetts, August 20, 2010. This show is complete with another awesome entrance, great views that you normally don’t see, and a new hairstyle from none other than Mr. Adam Lambert. Needless to say, he needed to remove that hair to make room for more glitter!! I love it…
**Background Info**
ADAM LAMBERT’s 51st Glam Nation Tour Concert will take place at the South Shore Music Circus in Cohasset, Massachusetts tonight, August 20, 2010 with both Orianthi and Allison Iraheta as opening acts. The South Shore Music Circus is another round venue with a revolving stage and a reserved seating capacity of 2300.
For …nearly 60 years, the South Shore Music Circus and it’s sister venue, the Cape Cod Melody Tent, have been presenting world-class entertainment in the scenic Massachusetts coastal communities of Cohasset and Hyannis. The only two continuously-operated tent theatres in the round in the United States, the Music Circus and Melody Tent are owned and operated by the South Shore Playhouse Associates, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to encouraging and supporting the arts, cultural and educational organizations throughout the communities of the South Shore and Cape Cod. With a colorful history dating back to its humble beginning in 1932 in Cohasset, Massachusetts, one interwoven with the fabric of summer theatre history on the east coast, our theatres have emerged as popular destinations for patrons and performers alike, providing a relaxed ambiance and intimate theatre experience where every seat is within 50 feet of the stage.
In 1975, the main theatre bowl was converted from old-fashioned wooden risers to an attractive, modern concrete structure, while staircases and aisle openings were redesigned, greatly improving audience access and sightlines. In 1977, the customary canvas chairs were replaced with more comfortable, permanent stadium seats. But it was in 1994 that the traditional canvas tent was replaced by a state-of-the-art vinyl one with a cupola offering a specifically-designed venting system ensuring a more comfortable entertainment experience for patrons and performers.
Over the years, the sound and lighting equipment have been upgraded to state of the art systems designed specifically for theatres-in-the-round. Seating capacity was expanded from 1,000 to 2,300 seats.

As I was posting the concert video’s from last night’s show, a tweet came in from Adam. I thought you all might like to read it…
@adamlambert~Just visited Children’s Hospital in Boston. Good reminder to appreciate life’s value. Those kids have such incredible spirits in the face of illness. I’m inspired.
Adam, you inspire me every day.
Last night, the Glam Nation tour took a spin on the center stage in Hyannis, Ma. The difference with this venue, the Cape Cod Melody Tent, is that it is “in the round”.
The beginning was completely different then ever before because Adam entered from the side and began singing as he walked up the aisle to the stage, which was very cool!! I really enjoyed being able to see other things so differently too!!
It was awesome to be able to see Cam’s face for once, as she always seems to be in the dark. I loved seeing different angles of Longineu as well. Having the crowd in the picture at all times was amazing, as if we were seeing it through Adam’s eyes. I thoroughly enjoyed it, oh, and he kept it tame tonight too. It was like way back at the beginning, with no kissing and just beautiful singing… I did miss the kissing a little, just saying. I hope you like it as much as I do….
ENJOY:

WHEW…Here is a “catch-up” post from when I was gone!! This is the Las Vegas concert that was held at the Mandalay Bay hotel. For those of you that haven’t been there, it is a man made beach and the stage is located IN THE WATER!! It could not have been any more perfect than it was that night. The temperature was perfect, with a light breeze, and no sign of rain!! It was a relaxed beach side concert… ahhh watching the video’s brings it all back! This is one of those one-of-a-kind venues that will stick in my brain forever!!

Adam Lambert is a bonafide member of pop culture and I can prove it! I was watching the Comedy Central roast of David Hasselhoff on Sunday, and comedian Greg Giraldo included mention of Adam in his bit. This is another example of how Adam’s fully staked his spot on the minds of the public and the industry.
I’m including the video for you to see yourself, but I’m warning you, these comedy bits are full of filthy words and thoughts. There is nothing negative said about Adam. In fact, it’s a total compliment to mention him! The standard practice of the roast is for each comedian or personality to get up and completely rip on not only the guest of honor, but on each and every member of the dais. And they don’t hold anything back. Sure, most of the really filthy words are bleeped, but you’ll still get the intent. If you can’t take it, then don’t click on the video. I don’t want to read one comment below criticizing me for posting this. It’s up to you whether you want to watch. We feel it’s our responsibility to bring you every new bit on Adam that we can!
So, if you’re inclined to watch (and remember, I don’t want to hear any complaints!!), he mentions Adam at 4:15 when he talks about David Hasselhoff.
I hope you laugh your buns off! I did!!
~ Carol ~
P.S. I know I haven’t been around much lately. Big thanks to Sue for always being there and working hard for Adam and this site. Ever since seeing Adam in Costa Mesa, I’ve been traveling to see him in other places (Las Vegas) as well as following a few other bands and seeing their great shows. I love finding new bands and supporting them too! Plus, I’ve gone back to school for an additional degree and school has started. I still plan on bringing you all the news I can find on Adam!
Mention of Adam at 4:15

@adamlambert:Thank you to my fans who have donated nearly $60,000 to my DonorsChoose Glam-A-Classroom campaign! Remember, you can be registered to win a meet and greet with me when you text LAMBERT to 30644! Lets help classrooms in need for this upcoming school year!
From now (August 11th) until Friday, August 20th at midnight EST, any individual who makes a donation to Glam A Classroom will be entered to win a Meet & Greet with Adam himself! We hope this will get everyone excited and bring even more success for Glam A Classroom.
Here is the link to our giving page—-> http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/viewChallenge.html?id=29320
AS OF TODAY, HERE ARE OUR STATS:
$801.40 donated
29 donors
2045 students reached
I have enclosed some of the thank you notes from the actual teachers themselves, and also some of the names of those that donated on our giving page!!
**Thank you note…
Dear Beth, Barbara and Anonymous Donor,
Thank you for your generous and quick response to Easel on Down the Road. The benefits of this project will reach far in to the future.
While working with small groups I can now have less disruption by keeping students in their work environment instead of having them move to the front of the room. This will decrease transition time and increase instruction time.
With donors as dedicated to education as you - the future looks brighter.
With gratitude,
Mr. W.
**Thank you note…
Dear Sam P., Dina P,, Nectaria , Amanda, Zoe, Michael Alamo, Nina, Barbara and Anonymous Donor,
and Miss Cindy,
Thank you very much for all of your donations! This carpet will help the students to expand their learning in a variety of ways while also keeping them comfortable and safe. The brightly colored rug is fun and the students certainly now will have a stimulating and cozy place to read and learn on.
This carpet will also provide a place for the students to have a beautiful learning environment - a place they love to come each day. It will be the place we gather as a learning family.
Thank you for what you have given to my students - for years to come as well.
With gratitude,
Mrs. M.
**Thank you note…
~Dear Anita, Wendy, Tina, Sonny, Shannon, Melissa, Tessarae, Monique and Barbara,
There are no words to share with you my excitement and gratitude for your amazing gift! Sometimes we forget how powerful and inspirational picture books can be, with implications reaching far beyond just honing one’s reading skills.
Reading is such a powerful experience and your generosity will allow my fourth graders a chance to explore new and thought-provoking literature. These picture books will be a vehicle for our study of reading strategies, as well as story elements, like setting, plot, and character development. I look forward to incorporating each book into our curriculum this year, and many years to come. Thank you for supporting education, believing in the power of literature, and the importance of fostering a love of reading in our children!
With gratitude,
Ms. A.
**Thank you note…
Dear Melinda , Dan, Nancie, Josh Clarke, Mr. Lee, Melynda, Peter, Shaun Smith, Matt, Landon, Chris, Najeeb, Diana Farrar, Lauren, Carla J., Mrs. Scace, David A, Boris Denisov, Andrew, Barbara and Anonymous Donors,
I wish I could personally thank each and every person for his or her generous donations to my project. Words are unfortunately an inadequate means of fully expressing my sincere gratitude. I am extremely excited and encouraged to see so many people value reading and share my vision.
With these picture books, my students’ whole reading curriculum will change by implementing the Reading Workshop. They will be taught comprehension skills through the use of picture books. They will learn standard-based lessons covering point of view, theme, visualizing, predicting, inferring, summarizing, questioning, etc using an actual author’s work. Their lessons will become interactive, think-aloud lessons that will engage students and improve comprehension. Our main focus it to keep the students interested in reading during this crucial period. Your donations will dramatically increase my students exposure to great authors they may otherwise not have read. Reading can inspire children to accomplish so many things!
Thank you again for the gracious outpouring of donations for my class. I am certain my excitement will be shared by my class as well.
With gratitude,
Mrs. L.

Musikfest fan were witness to some changes at the show last night in Bethlehem, Pa!! Those in attendance were the first to witness a beautiful teardrop(make-up) on Adam’s face, his hair was down like a little boy, and Tommy actually wore a different shirt!! And all in one night!!
There were also a few little changes in some of the songs, like he went high where he usually goes low and vice-versa!! Strut had some fantastic dancing, and I L.O.V.E 20th Century Boy… yum. OK, Fever was pretty hot, if you are into the whole Adam/Tommy make out sessions, which I am…
Did I miss anything else that was new/different?? Let me know if I did!! Check out the video’s…

This is day 2 of the Glam Nation Costa Mesa journey!!
I have some pictures of the Meet and Greet that both Carol and I were able to be a part of!!
I had gotten an email from DonorsChoose at NOON the day of this concert. I opened it to find out that they were giving me a Meet and Greet pass to see Adam THAT NIGHT, in appreciation of the work we do to promote their cause! Coincidentally, it also happened to be on THE day that they were replaying the OPRAH show that we were on together!!
THANK YOU UNIVERSE!!
When I got to the venue, which was a crisis in itself because of the “fair” traffic that wasn’t there the day before, Carol was at the gate! She told me that through some very nice fans, SHE was going to the Meet and Greet as well! AWESOME!!
After some confusion, being led in then back out then back in, we were in line and then he appeared. I did get some pics of Carol as she was talking to him, although they are blurry. Couldn’t be because I was a tad bit excited now, could it? Carol was then smart enough to stick around so that we could take the picture of BOTH of us with Adam, isn’t it a great shot??
~Carol and Adam, as seen from the stairwell leading down to the meet and greet area!!~
~Carol and I with Adam!! I love this picture…~
I was actually last in line, and I had Carol video my time with him on my camera, THANK YOU CAROL(If I can figure out how, I’ll put on youtube and add it in later!)… he was so amazingly sweet! He genuinely remembered me as I walked up to receive a great Adam hug, and we talked about the Oprah show, and Jess, and I apologized for us being idiots that day at Oprah!! He said THEY all were idiots and that it was the BEST DAY EVER, AWWWWWWW, I LOVE HIM!! I had some pictures of us, that I had actually brought for my friend, Shari, and she so generously “donated” them to Adam, THANK YOU SHARI!!!
~Adam and I!! OK, I love this one too!!~
Short story behind this picture… When we were at Oprah, Adam made a point to ask Jess about how old she was. He then engaged her in a conversation about when she was getting her driver’s license, asking if she was she excited, and if I was excited, etc, etc. So when I knew that I was going to be seeing Adam that night, I decided to try and get something from him, as part of her 16th birthday gift to accompany her tickets for The Glam Nation Tour in Rockford, Il!! I decided to just make a sign and get whomever I could to sign it. Well, not only did he write a cute note to her on there, he also took a picture with it for her!! HOW CUTE CAN ONE MAN BE? SERIOUSLY??
~Adam with Jess’ 16th birthday sign!!~
As he was signing her sign, I jokingly told him to keep it in his brain to come out and see us in Rockford. He looked seriously at me and said, “OK…(slight pause)…I AM trying to get out more!”. I was actually kidding him and am not expecting it, but by the way he looked, it was like he was filing it away in his brain…So that is good news for everyone, because he is TRYING to get out to see us all EVERY NIGHT!!! Don’t give up hope guys, your day is coming…
OK all, I know that these are what you have been waiting for, day two of the Costa Mesa videos!!

Welcome to Part 1 of the Glam Nation tour in Costa Mesa, California!!
This was the first night of his TWO sold out shows here at the Pacific Ampitheater, AND I have two versions of every song for you to enjoy!!
Due to the fact that he has his family and friends at this show, you will notice that he is really “glamming it up” at this concert. We ALL know that he LOVES to perform for them!! It definitely makes for a fun evening…

This post was actually from Friday, and even though I posted it, it actually only saved it. I apologize for the delay…
It is with a heavy heart that I am writing to let you know that Tommy Joe’s dad has passed away. In a tweet from a family friend, the following message was sent through the twitter world:
On Friday 6th August 2010,
@cynthilu said:
Dear Twitter Family…
It is with deep sadness that I tell you that Tommy’s father Ron Ratliff passed away yesterday morning.
Please keep Dia and Tommy in your thoughts and prayers.
May he rest in peace.
Please respect them and their privacy in this time of mourning.

and today, Tommy tweeted:

Must see interview: Adam talks about wanting to start to write again on tour soon, the next upcoming album (for the spring?) and some of the ideas he has and the direction that he wants to take his music. Also, more details about the E! documentary the did here in San Diego.
Best of all he talks about how he recognizes some of his fans that show up to more than one show (like Lila, Carol and many of the fans and authors on this site :] ) Anyways, check it out !!

HELLO EVERYBODY!!! I HAVE MISSED YOU!!!
I was actually in California and Las Vegas to see the concerts in Costa Mesa, twice, and Las Vegas. I have been in withdrawals from posting though. As I sat down to start this post on Wednesday, my computer was attacked by a virus!!! I am now begging, borrowing, and even stealing time on other people’s computers in hopes to getting everything up to date… bear with me and as always…

~adamlambert~Congrats on ur VMA noms @keshasuxx! Rockstar! Miss u!
article via: voices.washingtonpost.com
CELEBRITOLOGY 2.0
Was Adam Lambert snubbed by the MTV Video Music Award nominations?
The nominees for this year’s MTV Video Music Awards were announced earlier today and featured a record-setting number of nominations for Lady Gaga (13), as well as nods for Eminem (eight), Florence + The Machine (five) and Justin Bieber (one … wait, one? That kid’s getting his own 3D biopic and he gets just one measly nomination?).
Here’s who didn’t get nominated: Adam Lambert. Members of the former “American Idol” contender’s Glam Nation are ticked off that he didn’t get recognized in at least one category for videos like “If I Had You,” in which he sports a mullet ponytail while rocking out on what appears to be the set for the “Twilight” movies, accompanied by cast members from “Moulin Rouge” and “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.” (I mean that as a compliment, by the way).
Of course, Lambert fans aren’t the only ones irked by the VMA nominations. Lovers of Rihanna (who received just one nomination), the Black Eyed Peas and Britney Spears are all voicing their objections in blog comments and on Twitter, where the hash tag #MTVFAIL is becoming more popular by the second.
Did MTV really mess up with this year’s nominations? Does it even matter? And most importantly, when will Kanye West Tweet about this pressing issue? (Could be a while. Dude’s on his way to Asia.)
Honestly, the VMAs are so ridiculous that it seems like a waste of energy to even bother getting upset by them. That being said, I have just one question: How on God’s green Earth did “My First Kiss” get nominated for anything? It looks like it was made in 1983. And no, I don’t mean that as a compliment.

The pre-concert party was great. About 21 people showed up. At first we had batches of 4-6 people come in at different intervals, so we had to go downstairs a couple of times and wait to get people to the lounge area. We all got to meet fans, have some drinks and it was very laid back. The conversations and pool games went so well that after 6:20pm I decided to stay upstairs. Some people arrived later and somehow figured out how to pass security, entering the maze of elevators and then enter another maze to get to the lounge area. For those two groups that did it, congratulations!
We went out in two separate groups across the street to the Copley Symphony Hall. Right before the concert, I gave my black nail polish to some extranger in line in exchange for her to do my nails. Then, Bryan helped me get my ‘glam-on.’
Yeah, that’s two perfectly straight guys putting guy liner on… priceless:
During the concert we could still see some of the people from the pre-concert party and it was nice to ‘know’ people there and say ‘Hey!!’ from a distance. I missed Allison Iraheta but I got to see Orianthi. She actually did very good in my opinion.
Now to the main event. I don’t think I need to go into too much detail because it has been covered here before (the songs, outfits, dancers, etc). The only think I can say about Adam’s performance is that it far exceeded my expectations. I thought I had a pretty good idea of what the show was going to be like from watching YouTube videos here but the experience of actually ‘being’ there and seeing him live was a completely different thing. I really think people need to know that these YouTube videos does him and the whole experience no justice.
Hearing his voice with high notes that fill the room and literally vibrate everything including the back of your spine is something you don’t want to miss.
My last concert was David Cook at Pechanga Casino during New Years (2009 to 2010) in Temecula, CA. I never thought anyone could ever top that. Well, Adam certainly did; and this is coming from a hardcore David Cook fan. I’ve been to a lot of concerts and Adam’s vocal ability and showmanship is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before.
After the concert, I got to meet Adam’s mom and got to tell her I was born the exact same day and year than Adam. She was like ‘that’s really cool!!’ Although she seemed tired, she looked like she’s been tanning/working out and actually looked kinda’ hot (sorry!). We took a picture. Unfortunately, my camera was on some crazy daylight no flash mode so all my pictures came out blurry (You know how they always work except when you actually need them):
Glamorized Adam-Lambert.org fans Stephanie, Bryan and Linda:
Outside we waited for a while and Adam only showed up for about 1 or 2 minutes. Linda was one of the only ones to get an autograph (on her purse). Some of us were able to get a picture with Tommy, the bass player:
Stephanie hugging Tommy:
Sandra (Adam-Lambert.org author) talking with Adam’s dad:
Below you can see videos of the concert. If you haven’t been to one of his concerts and he is coming to you I personally strongly recommend not watching them until after you have seen him live:

Short and sweet - check with the box office to make sure of the start time of the show. Our show last night at Costa Mesa Fairgrounds started 30 minutes early. My good friend Glenda told me that the San Francisco show started 30 minutes early too. Fortunately I was at the box office yesterday early, getting some other information and the lady nicely told me they had just been notified 20 minutes earlier about the change.
The reason for this? Originally Allison Iraheta wasn’t scheduled to open for Adam during the second half of the Glam Nation Tour. Evidently the fans really called for her to be on the bill, so she’s rocking the opening, along with powerhouse guitarist Orianthi. Glenda said she heard this was for all the California concerts, but be sure and check with your box office or plan on arriving early if you can’t get confirmation.
~ Carol ~
Want to get this up quickly! . . . Last night, fansite administrator Lila Hayes and I were at the Orange County Fairgrounds box office, trying to sell some extra tickets to that night’s show. What do we hear? OMG - it’s Adam singing Voodoo! They’re doing the soundcheck!! So, I start looking towards the entrance gates, and what do I see? Not much, but if there’s a seam to peek through, I’ll find it. I find a gate that’s open about 4 inches, so I walk through it into the interior courtyard, but still outside the outdoor arena. I go back to the door and call Lila in. We just started walking toward the entry ramps, and Lila is fearful we’ll get caught. What’s the worse that can happen? They’ll call us back? So we walk into the upper of the amphitheatre, and there’s no one there. No one, but the complete band doing the soundcheck on stage!! Being complete gutfull (new word that Lila has created to describe me!) I start walking down, down, down until we’re at the entry for the 1st 3 rows. There are 2 other people sitting in the 5th row listening. We smile at them, and move into the 3rd row. And there we had it. A private concert for about 35 minutes. We would have stayed longer, but we were putting on the Glamb dinner at Mimi’s Cafe, and Lila felt we really should be there early, to greet early arrivers. But no!!! How can we leave - this is too good!! I was hoping our friends and readers would forgive us for this incredible excuse! We stayed later than we wanted, but still made it to the dinner at the exact starting time. During the whole time we were there, no one gave us any attention. We couldn’t believe no one was asking us to leave. The band didn’t even take a second away from what they were doing to ask us to leave. I was kind of worried that they’d mind us sneaking into their private work time, but we had to figure that if they didn’t want us there, they would have had someone ask us to leave.
Now it was Lila’s turn to be brave. About halfway in, she managed to turn on her flip camera and video (or at least audio) what we were hearing. She didn’t want to be obvious so she hid it just at her waist level, pointing the camera up. Hence the great shots of the lighting! Every great once in a while, you see someone. But the sound is amazing!
**JUST ADDED!!! WE FOUND THE ONE SECOND THAT THE CAMERA CAUGHT MONTE AND ADAM ON STAGE!!**
It was such a complete education to hear what the band goes through to make the sound as perfect for the audience as they can. And listen to Adam trying “something with the rhythm of it” on Whole Lotta Love. The improvisation on the lyrics were EPIC. To be honest, I’m a little afraid that he may not have wanted it publicly known that he “wants to get laid!” After all, Lila’s videos from 12 hours ago have already beaten me to the internet! We’re seeing them on all the Adam reporting sites and twitter is already full of these clips. But Glambs, we want you to know that it came from US! And we give it to YOU!
I’m going to try for the soundcheck today, but maybe I’ll face security!?!?
Enjoy!!

I have to admit, I haven’t been able to watch all of these video’s, but from the snippets I did see, WooHoooo. It sure looks like San Francisco got their money’s worth AND MORE!!
I am having withdrawals because I was out of town and without computer access, and now I have to go to the REAL job and I cannot even watch these…bummer. I am putting faith into the fact that they are all from the same person, and she always has good one’s, and then later tonite I can search for other one’s!! For now,

We’ve had a great response for the pre-party dinner on July 27th! With over 30 coming (so far!), we’re set for Mimi’s Cafe on the corner of Newport Blvd. and Harbor, 2 miles from the concert at the Pacific Amphitheatre/Orange County Fairgrounds. We’ll be in the Winery Banquet Room. Because of our expected attendance, the restaurant is requiring we use a set menu. This is standard for large parties. You will still have a variety of entrees to choose from and we’re hoping this will not be a problem.
To be updated with all the info, please send an email to: glambinfo@aol.com. Even if you’ve responded to the previous article, you need to send this email to get on the list. Please give us your full name, screen name, the number coming, and your cell number. Include any dietary restrictions. Several of you have asked for info to be emailed and I can’t get your email address without this. Everyone who sends me this email will be kept up to date with all the latest.
We even have some give-aways from the band!

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Portland’s Glam Nation show was missing a very special part last night.
In the small video clip below, you will hear Adam explain to the crowd that Tommy was not there with them, because he had a family emergency to tend to. It has been said that Tommy’s father is very ill at this point, which led to Tommy boarding a plane and heading back to California to be with him.
Tommy is hoping to be back with Adam and the band by Friday’s San Francisco show, and we sincerely hope that all goes well enough for that to happen.
In the clip below, you will hear Adam say to keep Tommy Joe in your thoughts, that they are all missing him as much as the crowd was, and that they are sending him positive energy. I would like to request that we ALL do the same…
I know there are other cards on the web to sign for him, but I was thinking of having one from our specific site. What are your thoughts on that? Should we do that for him? Leave me your comments please!!
Oh by the way, I have also included a review as well as the video’s from last night. The vid’s are not that great, I am hoping for more…
ENJOY:

Live Review: Adam Lambert, July 21 at Crystal Ballroom
VIA: http://blogs.wweek.com/music/2010/07/22/live-review-adam-lambert-july-21-at-crystal-ballroom/
July 22nd, 2010 [1:10PM] Posted by: JEFF ROSENBERG
BREAKING NEWS: Glambert is the real deal.
And not just because he introduced lasers to the Crystal Ballroom for the first time in memory last night. Because he’s a supremely confident performer who nonetheless projects a charming soupçon of humility onstage. Because his show is precisely ordered and choreographed, yet he still found time to get silly with his dancers and the audience. Because he doesn’t need to stick strictly to the melodies of his songs, but at the same time doesn’t get lost in a mist of melismas. Because he had the balls and taste to perform his hit single, “What Do You Want From Me”, in a stripped-down version accompanied only by acoustic guitar, and played his popular American Idol cover, “Mad World”, in a sped-up and funkier take than the one he did on the show. Because in his exotic recasting of “Ring of Fire”, the gay subtext gives the line “I went down, down, down” a sly new shade of meaning, and because he sings “I fell for you like a cheeeyiiild” with an Axl Rose inflection. Because his skills allow him to transcend sometimes mediocre material. Because his dancers, sets and lighting are beautifully campy without getting Gaga-diculous about it, especially on one number featuring a rear projection of a neon-colored skull in a style reminiscent of native art accompanied by skull-masked dancers (a troupe of four who performed intermittently throughout the night). Because even his in-ear monitors were bedecked with glitter. Because his tight band celebrates diversity with a woman keyboardist, dreadlocked African-American drummer, and, um, Jewish maybe? lead guitarist and musical director, who also happens to play guitar for Madonna (Lambert himself has a Jewish background, by the way; and the band’s bassist was absent on the night due to a family emergency, but wasn’t sorely missed musically). Because he drew a somewhat diverse crowd, if a bit heavy on Beaverton tweens and their soccer moms gleefully singing along to every word. Because his elastic voice requires no auto-tune, yet every run, scream, and growl stays precisely on pitch. Because he ended his show with “Whole Lotta Love,” substituting the gender-neutral “Baby, you need love” for “Woman….”
Because this culture hasn’t been able to tolerate a male glam superstar since Freddie Mercury died, and if someone’s gotta do the job, this good-natured up-and-comer might as well be it. No, of course, he’s no Freddie, nor, seemingly, much of a provocateur (despite kissing a dude at the American Music Awards). His 21st-century take on glam is tamer, less freaky and more squeaky-clean and readily marketable than the style’s past. But an openly gay, creatively open-minded, widely popular artist who can really sing is a very good thing, regardless of what “reality” he may have emerged from. Long may he reign.

XO~SUE~GLAMB#10
Everyone who joined Sue, Lila and me at our Fantasy Springs dinner party last February had such a great time! We know how much you loved meeting each other, and that now you’re one big happy Glamily. Lila, Sue and I loved meeting you too! We’ve gotten so many requests asking if we’re going to have more parties one at various Glam Nation Tour locations. So we’re ready to set one for Costa Mesa on July 27th. This is for Glamb fans attending either the July 27 or the July 28 show. If this sounds good to you, please comment back and let us know how many of you would be coming and how many are in your party. You don’t even have to have a Glamb number, but we’d love it if you did!
***JUST ADDED: Please Glambs, I appreciate everyone’s comments about meeting on other days, but please keep your comments focused on attending the July 27 party we’re trying to plan. This party has to come together very quickly and I don’t have time to sift through other responses that aren’t RSVPs for this event. If you have something else you want to say, please go to the Forums and start a thread!
We’ve found a restaurant only 2 miles from the fairgrounds with a large, delicious menu, friendly prices and plenty of free parking. If we have enough people, they’ll even give us our own room! Once we find out how many people will be attending, we can make solid plans and then give out all the information.
The preliminary set up is:
July 27, 4:30 PM arrival. The fair isn’t running that day and the concert starts at 7:30 PM. Stay as long as you want. No cover charge. They will have staff on hand just to take care of us so the timing is perfect to enjoy a delicious meal together. Order anything off their menu - your cost. This will be a great opportunity to have fun together, get to know each other better, and get nutritionally charged for the epic concert to follow!! We’ll even have some give aways directly from the band!!
So Glambs and everyone reading this - if you’re going to the Costa Mesa shows we hope you’ll join us and party with your fellow Glambs!!
Let’s hear from you!!
~ Carol ~
As things are starting to pop up on youtube, I have posted what I have found. You get some radio interviews, and some pictures, and just a few videos with more on the way!!
Was anybody there last night?? Was it as hot as it looked to be?? We need to know!!!!!! For now,
ENJOY:

This post is to show how wonderful you guys are here at adam-lambert.org!!
As of today, you have donated $625 and that money will reach 1,152 students!! THANK YOU!!
Below, I have posted some of the projects that were on our giving page, because these are now are FULLY FUNDED!! I thought it would be wonderful for all of you to see how grateful these teachers are, and to see their kind words for the donations coming in from our giving page.
This is a HUGE thank you hug from me to you, in honor of EVERYONE that has donated, because it is a really great cause.
If you have not seen our page yet, PLEASE feel free to visit/donate to a project in support of adam-lambert.org “Glam Nation Appreciation” Giving Page.
Below, I have posted the project’s name, followed by the teachers thank you note, and followed up with some of the comments from our Glambs!! Complete awesomeness…
~The project you supported — Wanted: Music Express Magazines= Good news: Project fully funded!
A note from the teacher…
Thank you all so much for your donation! Music and theater play a huge role in my life and I am so happy to be able to share my passion with my students.
Although I am enjoying my summer vacation and time off from school, I am looking forward to returning to school and using my new supplies. I can’t wait to teach my students about the wonders of musical theater! I hope that this will inspire some of them to step out of the box and audition for some of our local productions.
Thank you, again, for helping to enrich the lives of my students.
With gratitude,
Ms. S.
Thank you to the following for donating on our page:
**Marie R from Rochester, NY supporting adam-lambert.org “Glam Nation Appreciation” Giving Page “I gave to this project because I support Adam Lambert who asked us to give donations and not gifts.”
————————————————————-
~The project you supported — Kreative Kids Need Art Supplies= Good news: Project fully funded!
A note from the teacher…
No words can express the appreciation I have for people such as you. Your generous contributions make my rewarding job as an educator, far easier to succeed in. My students attend a very small school which is limited in the type of artistic courses it can offer. By purchasing these art supplies, I will now be able to better fill the gap. Thank you so much for making this idea a reality. Please continue to support other classrooms through DonorsChoose.org. It is a fantastic organization to be a part of. Thank you again for your continued support of education.
With gratitude,
Mrs. H.
Thank you to the following for donating on our page:
** Mary T. from Illinois supporting adam-lambert.org “Glam Nation Appreciation” Giving Page “I gave to this project because I totally believe in learning basic reading, writing, and social skills - I think your project will make that happen. Students will go far in this world when they have those basics and also enjoy learning those things! Also in honor of Adam Lambert’s Glam Nation Tour :)”
**Jen A from Missouri supporting adam-lambert.org “Glam Nation Appreciation” Giving Page “I donated because I remember wanting more books and better music education when I was in school. I hope that this helps you! :)”
————————————————————
~The project you supported — Drumming Up BIG Business= Good news: Project fully funded!
A note from the teacher…
My students LOVE to play drums. Because of your generosity, we will have enough drums so that in my SMALL classes EVERYONE can have a drum, and in my LARGE classes, we will have enough for a partner set-up. We learn playing technique and practice different rhythms while meshing it all into an ensemble setting. Sometimes we have drum circles where individuality and creativity HAPPEN!
My students are so TALENTED but don’t always have opportunities because of socio-economic factors. These are quality instruments, so current students as well as generations to follow, will benefit from your support of the arts!
With gratitude,
Ms. B.
“To Adam and his amazing Glam Fans, THANK you for supporting the arts and my DRUMMING project. With all the cuts in educational funding, the arts are the first to go, but with the support of all of YOU, we will still be able to offer children the opportunity to be musical, creative, and artistic.”
Thank you to the following for donating on our page:
**Toni supporting adam-lambert.org “Glam Nation Appreciation” Giving Page “I gave to this project because to inspire students to learn through music and perhaps one day be as good as Adam Lambert.”

**msvickyfonseca from Bedford, TX supporting adam-lambert.org “Glam Nation Appreciation” Giving Page “I gave to this project because we need to encourage learning, creativity and find a young persons”niche”. Adam Lambert’s parents helped him find his calling in theater and we all are reaping the benefits in witnessing his talents today!”

~The project you supported — Art Supplies: Flowers Are Blooming and So Are Little Artists= Good news: Project fully funded!
I can barely contain my excitement that our request for art materials has been funded! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I must especially thank those of you that were inspired to give on behalf of Adam Lambert’s request, through Bing, and for my daughter’s birthday wish. I’m nearly at a loss for words; Kids often use art materials to express themselves when they do not have the words to do so.
These art materials will help preschoolers in my classroom for students with disabilities express their thoughts and encourage creativity. Our students really do enjoy making things and sharing with me and their families. In addition, our students will be able to explore and learn about color, shape, and texture using drawing markers, dot markers, crayons, glitter paint, beads, wiggle eyes, and pipe cleaners. The paper organizers will help us keep all the new construction paper organized by color, too.
Thank you for helping inspire our kids through art!
With gratitude,
Mrs. T.

The project you supported — Bored? Not with These Board Books! Special Needs Library= Good news: Project fully funded!
A note from the teacher…
I am amazed once again at the generosity of my friends and sponsors here at Donors Choose. Each of you has played such an important part in funding this board book library for my classroom. It is so encouraging to see so many people sharing a vision of early childhood literacy and knowing that all of you know just how important a print-rich environment is in preschool, especially for students with special learning needs.
Your gift of sturdy board books sized just right for preschoolers or sharing on an adult’s lap will be enjoyed by many kids for years to come. It is my hope that they will develop a love for books that will help set the stage for later independent reading success. My students come from homes where there are limited resources and so many do not have books available there to read. These board books can be read and enjoyed at school, and checked out to be shared at home.
Thank you for helping me provide developmentally appropriate books and exciting stories to my preschoolers with special needs. My next projects will be posted soon: we will need a cozy, comfortable place to read all these wonderful books together, and a nice place to organize and display them at eye-level to preschoolers! I hope you will join me in continuing to promote literacy. Thank you!
With gratitude,
Mrs. T.

From the teacher…”Thank you MsVickyFonseca and to the mother of the first grade teacher for giving in support of Adam Lambert’s “Glam Nation Appreciation” Giving Page. Thank you also to Ginger who gave in support of “Projects funded by Bing Users!” I appreciate so much the help you and others from these two groups have been providing to my classroom’s projects. It will be like Christmas in September when packages from DonorsChoose start arriving for my students. I am very excited about this project for my students to receive beautiful, new board books!”

The project you supported — Read All About It!!!= Good news: Project fully funded!
A note from the teacher…
I cannot even begin to tell you all how excited and thankful I am that you have helped to fully fund my project. A love of books and the ability to have access to them is one of the best gifts a child can have. I am grateful that you all share this belief with me and have given my students this opportunity.
These classic titles will encourage my student’s imaginations and provide them with hours of excitement! This classroom library will provide my students with experiences that will make their year more successful. I anticipate reading time to be a hit this school year!
Thank you so much for providing this opportunity to my class. We can’t wait to “read all about it!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. F.

Adam Lambert’s dad, Eber Lambert has a brilliant mind for comedy and telling it like it is. There’s no doubt where the brothers get their sense of humor from. If you follow him on Twitter, you’ll be rolling from many of his tweets (and educated by the rest). Just catch the latest, obviously speaking to the Kansas City protesters last week.

Check this hilarious comment about Neil’s two-dimensional presence at a Denver signing. Did you all know that Neil is working as a production assistant (read gofer!) on Adam’s tour this summer? What a great brother to employ him. Now, where do the rest of us get in line?
@ravengirl57 http://twitpic.com/26ecwu - Tour merch folks are cutting edge: I’m sure the lifesize Neil mannequins will be a big seller about 21 hours ago (yesterday)
Just doing our best to give you some alternative pieces of Adam-tainment! Hope you enjoy!!
