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!

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

    Across the top of the comment box, you’ll see B-QUOTE.

    You first ‘copy’ the sentence or paragraph you want to highlight and post, click on B-QUOTE, ‘paste’ and then click on B-QUOTE again.

    Make sure the B-QUOTE appears at the beginning and the end … you’re opening and then closing the quote … of what you want to highlight. Leave no space. It’s: B-QUOTEthe sentenceB-QUOTE.

    Hope that makes sense.

  2. LadyNorth says:

    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!

    Thank you Ron, so maybe I keep it for awhile. When I get bored, I can turn it platinum blond Laugh

  3. Oksana2000 says:

    Good morning!!
    I just realized that Adam going blond took our minds away from THE NEXT SINGLE question.
    What a sneaky way to fool his fandom!!
    Only Adam… Grin

  4. LadyNorth says:

    Hope that makes sense.

    Perfectly Smile I have played with that button but haven’t got it right. Thanks again Ron, apparently the micro support of ALL.

  5. milwlovesadam says:

    Good Morning! How nice to wake up to an interview! Yay! Love our interview Adam. And welcome to your new avatar Ladynorth. It was so funny to read your angst about not having an avatar, while seeing it there and knowing you had worked it out!

    I like it too. It’s very peaceful.

  6. Kradamour says:

    OOOOH, Lady North, I love your new avi! It is just perfect for you! Please don’t change it, it is nice to be able to look for posts by avi.

    It seems as though quite a few of us have August Leo/Virgo birthdays: HK Fan, and wasn’t there another? Someone posted on the last page (I flipped through the posts very fast this morning, I am sorry that I don’t remember who posted that!) that their birthday was in a couple of weeks…so is mine, and adamized. Who else?
    Question

  7. LadyNorth says:

    Thanks Mils and Krad, I’ll keep it then Smile Certainly need some calming photos on this site too Grin

    And I am a Virgo, it was me waiting to get older soon… I will be 29 (+11!) at the end of the month. Oh dear, the beginning of the new era!

    Look what I found Laugh

    Bless you lovely ladies, cwm and rs, you do wonders for someones self esteem. OK from now on i will look at 47 as the new 30!!
    This is the first comment I have written with my new toy that hubby got me for my birthday, a lovely new bright red laptopSmile Maybe now I can start downloaded Adam stuff without anyone noticing….just need to lern how to do everything on it.

    And ron, you weren’t late with the birthday wishes, its still the 8th here.

  9. rs says:

    I’m back. LadyNorth, since you are new to Adam fandom, maybe you haven’t seen this clip of Adam singing Happy birthday to Terence. It is for HK Fan, and everybody who has birthdays around this time, or anytime. Enjoy

  10. rs says:

    ron, I am so glad you are enjoying the little gift. The symbol is a hamsa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamsa). It means “five” in Arabic and it stands for a hand held up against the evil eye. So it is a symbol of protection. I think that there was also another symbol on the hand in the middle, but I don’t remember what it was. If you describe it to be, or email me (cher, northernspirit, and TLKC have my address) I will try and let you know if there is more meaning to it. By the way, when I had my meet and greet with Adam I gave him a hamsa as a gift, he has one hanging from the rear view mirror in his car, and he wore one on a chain around his neck during GNT. So you are in good company. Big Smile

    p.s. I have had a silver hamsa keychain for over 40 years, since I came here and have never lost it. I won’t get into the close calls that I have had living here. That must mean something.

  11. Ron says:

    I’ve always found that this works for me too. I’ve been doing the same thing for years …

    Have you seen this fantastic TALC multi camera video of AOBTD from the 12th? It was the night of my second show and he was so funny at the end of the sing-along with his vocal acrobatics that nobody could try to do. One of the highlights of the night. And of course, the torn pants….

  13. Kradamour says:

    rs, the multi-camera mashups are always such a treat! This one is a real find. Thank you for posting it!
    Chic

  14. LadyNorth says:

    Have to share this… I didn’t know someone is doing regular animations of Glambert figures Laugh I watched couple of them. This is “Glamberts Talk about Their QueenBert DAy” I guess the next one is about Adam getting blond Smile

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5chiZnC9gs&feature=share

  15. Kradamour says:

    rs, you didn’t have an avi before! I love it!
    (I am hoping that it is in fact new and that I didn’t just miss it for a long time, that would be so embarrassing… Blush )

  16. rs says:

    Kradamour, I have had the avi for a few months now. I like your new fleur le lis!

    I have had a silver hamsa keychain for over 40 years, since I came here and have never lost it. I won’t get into the close calls that I have had living here. That must mean something.

    There must be some significance to that! I’ll hold onto mine during my doctor’s appointment later today. I had my yearly physical nearly a month ago. The very next day, “Ron, your blood work results are back. Doctor would like to see you”. Hmmm. That’s a first but there’s always a first time for everything. Receptionist was quick to add that there’s “no rush”. I guess not since I’ve waited over 3 weeks to find out how much longer I have to live. Big Smile

    I’ve decided not to go to the Streisand concert. Ticket price range with tax is $106.75 to $528.50! It’s at the same venue where I saw her 6 years ago and I was in the “cheap seats” section. It was so high up, there were oxygen masks attached to the back of each chair. From where I was sitting, Barbra appeared to be about 6 inches tall. I vowed back then that if I ever saw her again, I would get much better … therefore more expensive … seats.

    I think it would be irresponsible of me to buy a ticket for this when I’ve yet to get my Passport! I think it’s a much better idea to give myself the opportunity, at least afford myself the possibility, to spend a lot of time with all of you at an Adam concert than 2 hours in a chair watching Barbra.

    I don’t think she’ll miss me. Big Smile

  18. milwlovesadam says:

    LadyNorth, those Glambert videos are so much fun! Thanks for bringing it over here. Even if we’ve seen them before, they just make me smile. The blond one, that is sure to be in the making as we speak, should be a hoot!

  19. Kradamour says:

    rs, I swear I have never seen that avi before.
    So now I am embarrassed about being blind as well as unobservant. If I had only missed it for a few days, I would just stub my toe and make a face. But months???
    Whooo…my bad.
    Frown
    Blush Blush Blush

    Ron, that is so sweet that you have given up a sighting of 6″ tall Barbra for us!
    Heart

    Hoping (assuming!) that all will be well with your doctor appt. this afternoon. Guessing that if you were in fact going to expire shortly, they wouldn’t have waited three weeks to share the news.
    Doctor Yes Doctor

  20. fwachdr says:

    Right on, Ron! Save your $ for Adam and us!! That’s what the rest of us are doing!

  21. LadyNorth says:

    Mils, I have to keep watching them. I laughed when watching the “Glamberts camping” – it reminded me of my own vacay without internet Grin (I was not camping but in the middle of the woods anyway). I have to link those to my bf, I guess he might have fun with them too!

    And Mils, I forgot to comment in the middle of the blond-gate that I finally watched / read Des Moines thread and I thank you so much for your numerous recaps! You have a very fun and descriptive way to write, it was a pleasure to read it all Smile

  22. rs says:

    That is alright kradamour. It is such a small image of a large striking sculpture that it loses something in the “translation”.

    ron, keeping my fingers crossed that everything is fine. Fingers Crossed

  23. turquoisewaters says:

    LadyNorth: beautiful avatar. I don’t know if you can judge a blog by its avatars, but I think this one would do really well.

  24. LadyNorth says:

    Thanks turquois! Now we both have a water picture avatar Smile Where is yours from, is it real (or paradise Smile )?

  25. turquoisewaters says:

    LadyNorth: Well, this is embarrassing: when I first started posting I had NO idea this would become a regular thing, so I thought username?? quick, something pretty, something that makes me feel good, and it was turquoisewaters. And then much later when I wanted an avatar, it had to go with the name, so I literally googled “turquoise waters images”and picked the nicest picture the search returned. — That’s the truth, wish I had a deep and inspiring message embedded somewhere, but nope. By now I got so used to it that it feels weird to change. Oh, I forgot. Change is good. Maybe I’ll reconsider. One day.

  26. milwlovesadam says:

    Thanks LadyNorth. . I really have fun writing. It’s cathartic in a way. I’ve never journalled, or written anything else before discovering blogging. My brother is a published poet and writer, and now teaches English in China. He missed his calling as a stand-up comic, he is so hilarious, and not just in a family context. My cousin is a real, as in professional, writer; New Yorker, NY Times, Conde Nast Travel, Novels, etc.

  27. cwm says:

    Oh.My.God. turquoisewaters changed her avatar! What is this world coming to???!!!

    (I like it! Smile )

  28. rs says:

    Trying out a new Avatar. Sunset at the Tel Aviv beach. Can you see the sailboat crossing the sun or is it too small? Might try out some of the seabirds I photographed on the cruise. Bear with me while I experiment.

  29. rs says:

    It didn’t work!

  30. turquoisewaters says:

    rs: It did. There is always some delay.
    I might change mine back in a day or two. I become completely disoriented when everybody starts changing avatars. Although: cartwheels on the beach are just about the happiest thing I can think of. I still do them even though I will be right there with HKFan (Hi there!) in age within a couple of months. And there is still some turquoise water in the background.

  31. LadyNorth says:

    haha turquoisewaters, your one day became pretty soon, good for you Big Smile And you managed to find a new pic with a beautiful turquoise water and something else beautiful too, nice!

    Mils, writing can be very fun – or therapeutic. You certainly seem to have genes… I like to write and have done it different ways and occasions during my life, but to do it here I should first write it in Finnish and then translate – and the result would be very flat because I wouldn’t know all the beautiful or delicious words.

  32. rs says:

    OH, it already went to the second photo and I see that it is too dark. It is an amazing shot of a seagull that I took from the side of the ship, but not good as an avi. Lets try the sunset

  33. LadyNorth says:

    rs I see something new now! But it’s not a sunset I think Smile

    OUR CHANGE IS GONNA COME!

    I realized too that a detailed beautiful picture is not the best avi because you can’t see the details… It took a long time to search for the potentials.

  34. rs says:

    OK, I see that when I change the avatar it changes all the earlier ones too. I think that for now I will go back to the LOVE sculpture. Sorry to anyone reading these posts and not understanding what I am talking about. lol

  35. LadyNorth says:

    Yes it changes them all.

    If I lose my mind and go cuckoo because of this fandom, I’ll change my avi to this (in a strange way I have always liked it, it’s scary with a taste of insanity and effective with the orange sky…)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scream

  36. rs says:

    OH, LadyNorth, Munch is much too depressing for Adam’s type of joyful insanty! I saw some versions of the Scream when I was in Oslo and I like his work very much, but it is sad. There was a huge Munch exhibit while we were in London and I conciously decided not to go because it was meant to be a very happy time with Adam and all my friends and I didn’t want to go and see depressing paintings.

  37. ultimathule says:

    Do you think the September Chat thread will have as its pic Adam as a blond? Should be immortalized? I’m happy to leave that choice up to a greater authority. lol

  38. mmm222 says:

    Well, I’m back from all my summer travels and have internet access again. I had a wonderful time camping and hiking in the Colorado mountains with my husband. I had no access to my Adam CD’s in Colorado, but kept a number of Trespassing songs running through my head to keep me going on the more grueling climbs up the mountains. My husband is a faster hiker than me, so at least I had Adam to keep me company while I was breathing heavily(!).

    I thought things would be quiet this week and that I could catch up on the blog and the videos from the last 5 concerts. Then Adam turns up blonde!!! The wolf hair was absolutely perfect..his best look ever. I had a funny feeling that look was too good to be true. The picture he tweeted is not at all flattering. I love his hair dark, but this color may be okay in normal lighting. I’d really like to see what he looks like with his natural color hair. Trust our boy to surprise us and keep us talking when we least expect it. I too love his crazy ass!

    As for avatars, I tried to register again today and they keep saying there is another mmm222 on wordpress. I think that may be me from when I was posting at mj’s, but none of my passwords work. So I may need to go without an avatar or possibly make a minor change in my name to get them to accept it. Sigh! I feel like I’m missing out on all the avatar fun.

  39. luval says:

    Perhaps he won’t be blond by September!

  40. milwlovesadam says:

    LOL luval, he might not even be blond today!

    Whatever, I’m trying to withhold judgement until a nice picture of him surfaces. Until then, it’s all speculation. IMHO.

    Fun, but, we don’t really know yet.

    All I know is, as long as he still wears the zebra pants again, I’m all good!!!

  41. LadyNorth says:

    mmm222, hi!

    I didn’t register to the Gravatar service with my tag here (LadyNorth), I just needed to put there the same email-address that I used when I signed here. I guess it is only the email-address that counts. Complicated.. I hope you’ll manage!

    rs, I meant I will use “The Scream” if I REALLY start to lose it, not for happy Adam-cuckoo. So it’d be a warning sign! I like the paintings and music that give strong emotions, but I understand why you didn’t want to go the the exhib before Queen+Adam!

  42. ultimathule says:

    Hey – BB – come out, come out, wherever you are – we wanna see it in broad daylight. Probably have a hat on – lol.

  43. Ron says:

    I thought it was time to change my avatar too and bring it up to date.

    ROTFL

  44. LadyNorth says:

    Ron you are funny Grin!!! Have you been styled like that or did you just photoshop Wink?

    I hope when I wake up tomorrow (oops today) there will be a real (pap) picture of Adam’s hair.. Unless he goes to the rehearsals wearing a capThinking

    Keisha Renee’ @KeishaRenee
    Getting ready for rehearsal!! Time to get it right & get it tight for our Japan Glamberts & Glamily all over the World!! Y’all ready #

  45. turquoisewaters says:

    Ron: ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL (it’s just the avatar, right?)

  46. rs says:

    ron, lolololol! literally! on the floor!

    NIght all, I have been a post ho today and I am falling asleep at the computer. Can’t even stay awake to play scrabble with cher

    Why? What?! You mean, you and LadyNorth don’t like it?!?!! Shock Shock

    I paid all that money and you don’t like it? Big Frown

    I went to an online makeover site. Wink

    I hope Gwen Stefani doesn’t mind that I borrowed her hair for a while. Laugh

    I’m not going to leave it up for very long. Smile

  48. josephine says:

    I’m “computer illiterate” so no avi—“I think I have a little water on my brain and going a little crazy” when it comes to figuring this stuff out– Ron,,,,,you are tooooo funny!!!!!! Laugh Laugh Grin Yes Yes

  49. josephine says:

    I vote to KEEP IT Ron!!!! Silly

  50. LadyNorth says:

    oh rs, still here too? This another post ho (x double) is also on her way to bed. But it’s been a fun avatar day!
