After a very busy month of July which featured 11 concerts (5 with Queen and 6 solo – including the epic Fantasy Springs event pictured above), August begins with a short period of rest for Adam. However, as he tweeted a couple of days ago, we can expect the third single from Trespassing to be announced sometime early this month. Later in the month, Adam will head to Japan and Australia for album promo and a few concerts as well. We are also anxiously waiting to learn if Adam will be a judge or have some other regular role in the upcoming season of American Idol. In the meantime, enjoy the chat!

    mils, I noticed the glitter in the hair.

    I like the contrast with the dark brows. He will probably change it up some in another week or so! I think this signals that glam is def not out of his system.
    As long as there is hair on that gorgeous head…

  2. milwlovesadam says:

    F*ck the hair.

    Did someone mention upthread that they had Hot Stone Massages in Cabo?

    Hot.

    Stone.

    Massages.

    I. Can’t. I . Just. Images in my head.

    Oh. Oh. My.

    Lucky Bitch.

    HKFan, here is my favorite Adam quote, a comment he made to a fan:

    Fan: You make me feel young again!
    Adam: When were you ever old?

    In Love

    Sadz about Marvin Hamlisch. He was the Pops Conductor for the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. He came to town many times each year, and now I regret never seeing him. His shows were always sold out and many of my parent’s friends went to see him a lot. He brought a lot of joy and fun to the orchestra season. He took over for Doc Severinson, who revolutionized the Orchestra here and brought the Pops concept to life in his own way here as well.

    Ceddies: I am so glad to hear all went well. Here is to a speedy recovery!

  7. turquoisewaters says:

    Fan: You make me feel young again!
    Adam: When were you ever old?

    And they wonder why we 29-year-olds love him… what a charmer!

  8. HK fan says:

    thanks for that kradamour Smile
    we should have a little book of Adam quotes, he has so many good ones that can be used for all sorts of situations.

  9. Kradamour says:

    Very true, hkfan Chic . I am amazed that no one has done that yet!

    Happy Birthday HK Fan! Cake Rose Drink Present
    Here is a virtual toast and birthday present. I just got up and saw your post about your birthday. And for the record, I met you remember. You are really beautiful and young (and have gorgeous kids, too), so forget about the numbers. Adam is right. Change is good. It is only hair!

  13. LadyNorth says:

    Happy birthday HK fan! I’ll follow you in a couple of weeks Thinking But not planning to change myself blonde/platinum, it just doesn’t suit me!

    Adam certainly makes people feel young and re-energized Smile

    Based on Sauli’s blogs, maybe we can assume he’s going to Japan too? I’ve also been thinking how the Japanese like blond Adam. It’s exotic for them, for sure Smile

  14. LadyNorth says:

    What the h***, I sent you a cake and a rose and a present too, where did they disappeared during the journey through the cyber space??? New try with a clover to bring luck Smile

    Cake Rose Present Clover

  15. rs says:

    Hi LadyNorth,
    It seems that we are the only ones up at this time. We are in nearby time zones. I saw you at McDonald’s after the second London show, but we didn’t get a chance to meet. Too bad. Next time. I was sitting just a few people away from you, speaking to the English woman whose table we had invaded telling her all about Adam and the phenomenon that is his fandom. She was duly impressed, of course.

  16. LadyNorth says:

    Hi rs,

    I remember, you were sitting at the end of the table I think? It’s a pity it didn’t last longer to chat with everyone (the McDonalds party Grin ), I talked mostly with riskylady and paulanation who sat next to me… After everyone else left, me, my bf and paulanation continued to chat with that Brit lady for a while.

    Which country do you live, are you in Europe too?

  17. HK fan says:

    Thanks rs, I knew you were a lovely ladySmile
    Thanks for all the wishes and presents everyone,I will promise to forget about age and be happy with how I feel and not how old I actually am!

  18. turquoisewaters says:

    #BlondesHaveMoreFinn is trending… Big Smile
    Let’s see who will be the first one here sporting a blond avatar… I’m afraid it won’t be me. I’m kind of married to my username/avatar. If I change it, I won’t find my own posts anymore. (And really, all I read is my own posts. ROTFL )

  19. rs says:

    LadyNorth, I am in Israel, a couple of hours earlier than you.

  20. mieps says:

    HK fan, congratulations! If you’re old, I’m ancient! And I feel alright Wink
    I missed McDonalds alltogether, but I’m glad everyone had a great time.

    Hope you have a speedy recovery Ceddies, and I also hope everyone who came home sick from Europe has recovered. I just returned to the Netherlands after spending a month around Europe, and will return to Canada next week.
    I hope I’ll recognize it, it has been so long!

  21. turquoisewaters says:

    Earthquake in LA 4.4 magnitude. It’s the aftershock of the new do.

  22. rs says:

    Hi mieps (waves). Glad you are enjoying your long vacation in Europe. I guess that you will be ready to return to Canada next week. It was so good meeting you and I love being able to put faces to the blog names. Have a good trip home.

  23. mieps says:

    rs, it was great meeting you too! I was just looking at your wonderful pictures! Will have to check the ones Peter posted as well. After being without internet for about a month there are so many websites to visit!
    Glad you made it home without being ill (if I remember correctly). I also managed to avoid the bugs – so far.

  24. mieps says:

    BTW, rs, did you change your avatar or did you not have one before? It seems different from before.

  25. LadyNorth says:

    Hi mieps! You’ve certainly traveled… Smile Hope you had a great time in Europe!

    Talking about avatars, how can I have my own here? I mean technically? I haven’t found out yet but I’d like to have one.

    rs, it’s nice to have someone here at “almost” the same continent Smile Exactly the same time zone actually, I guess. It’s 12:45 now…

  26. rs says:

    mieps, I added the avatar a few months ago, with ron’s help. It is a photo I took of the Hebrew version on Robert Indiana’s Love sculpture from the sculpture garden of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem (one of my favorite places in this city).

    Yes, LadyNorth, we are in the same time zone. I guess I was thinking that you were in the same zone as the UK. Sorry. Of course you are much farther east.

  27. rs says:

    LadyNorth, there are instructions at the right side of this page if you click on “Gravatar site” under “Important site info”.

  28. LadyNorth says:

    rs thanks a lot, I’ll go and try my tech skills (which are poor). Your avatar is interesting, its a pity I can’t open it bigger to see better…

  29. LadyNorth says:

    Ok, now I have a Gravatar account. But how can I get it linked here? Or this one there… Rolls Eyes

  30. rs says:

    LadyNorth, it should be your same WordPress account that you set up in order to comment on this site. But I am no expert. Did you choose an avatar? Maybe Ron can help you when he comes on later.

  31. Ron says:

    A belated Happy Birthday to HK fan! Hope you had a wonderful time on your special day! Cake

    Dear Ceddies, glad you can put yesterday behind you and are on your way to a full recovery! Rose

    Good to see you Mieps! You’ve met several of my Toronto friends and others from this blog whom I met in Ste.-Agathe last year. When you’re back home, would love another Skype session. I think there might be a lot to talk about. Wink

    turquoisewaters and ulti, you’re back on my Christmas card list. Grin

    I’m up earlier than usual this morning, maybe it’s to try and be of some assistance to LadyNorth Wink

    Now that you have a gravatar account, have you uploaded the photo that you want to be your avatar? That would be your next step.

  32. cwm says:

    Happy Birthday HK fan! It was a great pleasure meeting you in London and getting a chance to chat. Funny, though, the HK fan I met in London was a young, gorgeous woman, so I don’t know who this “not young” person is that you’re talking about!

    Has this been posted here?

    Sauli’s iltasanomat blog: http://blogit.iltasanomat.fi/sauli/mexico/255

    Translation: http://www.adamtopia.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=sauli&thread=629&page=2#288801

    Gorgeous photos. Both of those boys are very talented with the camera.

  33. cwm says:

    Nice long interview with the ChartShow, in 2 parts. The interview is from back in late May, though, so I don’t know why it took so long for them to post it.

    Well dang it. Spike Edney retracted his “Queen World Tour 2013” statement. Perhaps it was mostly wishful thinking and he got a little ahead of any official plans. I;m still hoping for an official plan to develop!

    Spike Edney SAS Band ‏@SpikesSASBand
    To those of you wondering about my comments about taking the Korg on a world tour next year…

    Spike Edney SAS Band ‏@SpikesSASBand
    I’m afraid that there are absolutely no plans for this in the pipeline. It was merely a moment of distracted wishful thinking on my part!!

  35. LadyNorth says:

    Oh dear Ron, my saver thank you Smile

    I have loaded some pictures to that account yes… But I don’t remember any WordPress accounts when I signed here! I have signed to so many new things lately Grin I think I just gave a gmail-address when I signed here?

  36. Ron says:

    Gil was just standing in the doorway when I asked, “Do you want to see the latest?” He comes in and says, “What is it?” “Look at what Adam did” as I showed him the new ‘Do’.

    “illlloooewww” … it was something like that which I took to be a negative. Laugh Then he confirmed it, “That’s awful”.

    So … I don’t think he cared for it too much. Laugh

  37. Ron says:

    Hi LadyNorth!!

    Okay. You’ve loaded a few photos on the gravatar site. You can only use one at a time … Smile … so click on the one you want. You’ll then be presented with a page where you have to rate it. Click on one of the ratings. You’ll automatically be taken back to the page where it appears in place. But now, you have to confirm it! Click on the avatar, click confirm and that will complete the procedure. You’re done! Your gravatar account will hook up with your WordPress account for you.

    It however isn’t instantaneous. It doesn’t take long … usually 5 minutes, sometimes 10 minutes to appear on blogs.

    Come back here in a few minutes and check on your previous posts. It’ll be there next to your name if it’s “ready”.

    If it doesn’t work out that way, let me know and we’ll backtrack and go over it again.

  38. rs says:

    Hi ron, I knew you would help LadyNorth!

    I know cwm, that was my exact thinking when I read HK Fan’s post.

    Now that you in NA are up, it is time to turn the discussion over to you and for me to get some chores done. Bye

  39. Ron says:

    But I don’t remember any WordPress accounts when I signed here!

    I’m afraid this is important. You MUST sign up using the same username and password when you first registered with WordPress.

    Maybe if you check on >Tools >Options >Security >Passwords/reveal Passwords you’ll find the info there. (?)

  40. LadyNorth says:

    Ok, Ron… I don’t know if I have done it right. I had already downloaded some of my photos and when I did it, I always had to rate (from mild to porn, 4 options). Ok, now I clicked one, confirmed it it’s linked to the email-address that I used when I set that Gravatar account! I don’t know if it’s the same as WordPress account, can you tell?

  41. LadyNorth says:

    Jihaa, it managed Big Smile Thanks a lot Ron! I guess I can change the picture later? This was just… something from the Northern holiday Grin

  42. cwm says:

    Have we properly appreciated those pics that Sauli posted of himself on the beach? I think not.

    Dang, boy. Looking good!

    http://www.saulikoskinen.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/musta.jpg

    http://www.saulikoskinen.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/kuva-9.jpg

    Ok, so based on Sauli’s two blogs, this is what we know Adam and Sauli did on their brief Mexican vacation:

    – hang out by the pool
    – hang out on the beach
    – do gymnastics on the beach
    – do a tequila tasting
    – drink spicy margaritas
    – eat awesome, fresh, authentic Mexican food
    – try “all different kinds” of massages
    – get hot stone massages
    – go horseback riding on the beach
    – take pictures of each other
    – And, per Adam, get “nicely toasted”

    OMG, sounds perfect. I wanna go!!!

  43. cwm says:

    Yay LadyNorth – you got your avatar up! It’s beautiful!

    (So nice of you to help her out, Ron!)

  44. rs says:

    LadyNorth, well done! That took much less time than it took me. lol

    The photo is beautiful. Did you take it? It goes perfectly with your blog name.

  45. LadyNorth says:

    Thanks cwm Smile! I love to photograph the nature, I have tons of photos, all the seasons. It was better when bigger, but you can still see the reflection in the water. But do I need something more colorful??

    And I could join that Mexico holiday too, except that I don’t want hot and humid weather!

    Ron, thanks again Smile I guess I used the same address because my avatar was born. I’ll offer you a drink for that, pick the one you prefer! Beer Coffee Drink

  46. Ron says:

    LadyNorth says:
    08/08/2012 at 8:30 am

    I guess I can change the picture later?

    Personally, I never change my avatar. ROTFL

    Yes, you can change it as often as you like. I’d stay with the one you have … it’s beautiful!! I like it very much!

    So glad if I was of any help to you.

    (Hi cwm!)

  47. LadyNorth says:

    rs, thanks, yes it’s “my art”. I think it was quick because I had already loaded the photos Smile Maybe I’ll change that avatar picture every day to show you different ones – or reflect my mood!

    If I chose Adam avatar, it would be one with the Dragon jacket!

  48. rs says:

    I am with you LadyNorth. I love everything about that holiday except for the “hot and humid”.

    Why am I still here?

  49. LadyNorth says:

    Why am I still here?

    rs, I am asking myself the same question Laugh But at least I got avatar Big Smile Big Smile

    Another technical question: when you copy to your post what someone else has said, where do you get that blue box around it? Haven’t found it…

  50. Ron says:

    Hi rs!

    I’ve been meaning to tell you that your gift to me has received several compliments asking about the symbol and if there’s a meaning behind it. If it’s common where you are that’s not the case here. It’s very unusual and it’s something that I’m happy and proud to own … thanks to you!
