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!

    So what am I making for dinner?

    What you always make, “dingbat”.

    You’ll make … a phone call.

    Pizza Hut.

    Interesting chat this morning…
    I must admit I don’t listen to radio. I probably would if I had one in the house, but I don’t. But then again radio in HK is really not very good, its not even on fm.
    I listen to music a lot more since I discovered Adam, he seems to have piqued my interest in other artists. And a lot of what I listen to is top 40 stuff.
    I do buy a few albums, (Adam, 1D, JB for my daughter etc) but do get a lot of stuff from youtube, I know I’m bad….
    I don’t know any teenagers that listen to radio or that buy music. It was made harder in HK as we didn’t have Itunes but I think we do now. They all find new stuff out from their friends and the internet.
    Hopefully BB counting spotify/pandora/and other on line streaming sites will help Adams (and others)chart placements.
    I do have an ipod which I’m slowly adding to, 840 songs so far, and I usually keep it on shuffle. I always have music on in the car, either my ipod or cds I’ve made, and listen to my ipod when I go for a walk, or waiting for my kids at gym, football etc.
    I am a member on the fansite, just the $9.99 package, but I very rarely go there.

    adams twitter numbers seem to have gone up a lot since he went blond….by nearly 7,000 I think, more than usual in the timeframe anyway.

    Congrats to everyone who has a new avi, I like seeing everyones picture by their names.

    Just bought an Adam calendar on Amazon for 2013!
    $18 Grin

  6. luval says:

    I want an official Adam calendar! Bought one from e-bay last year & like you, aely, will probably check out Amazon. Wonder if they lost money on the last official calendar?

  7. milwlovesadam says:

    I have a tech question. what are Spotify and Pandora?

    And Ron, that show you mentioned sounds too good to be true. I also would love to see a show where previous Idol top 10’s could perform weekly.

    I remember Ed Sullivan from when I was a little girl. I also miss Mike Douglas, Dick Cavette, and shows that featured singers.

  8. milwlovesadam says:

    Tee Hee luval. That’s because the calenders were “free”!

  9. aely says:

    They are online radio that you can play specific music. Like 80’s or put in artist’s name to play like music. It is an app that is free or you can play it online.

  10. turquoisewaters says:

    kradamour says: you just need to be willing to fork over $75 per minute to meet Adam

    That seems like a bargain. Only $1.25 per second if you see it like that. I think I would be willing to buy a second right about now, and if it’s just to check out the hair. Laugh

  11. Kradamour says:

    I listen to music a lot more since I discovered Adam, he seems to have piqued my interest in other artists. And a lot of what I listen to is top 40 stuff.

    Me, too, HK. I don’t buy the music, but I go online and listen once or twice. I actually did buy the Sam Sparro CD but after I listened to it once I put it away. As someone above posted, it is a matter of having time. It seems very time-consuming to find music, put music on an iPod, make playlists…I guess I just listen to the music in my head.
    (of course here I am for hours and hours on the blog, but never mind!)

    I cannot fathom that ANY money was lost on a $40 calendar! and it makes me crazy that peeps sell calendars with Adam’s image for which he sees no $$. Sometimes I just think that Adam’s management is dumber than bricks. We are PANTING to buy things and what what do they offer us? Drek. Plastic wallets. Unflattering t-shirts. Yuck.

    I loved Ed Sullivan. So eclectic! Opera and the Rolling Stones…
    And Dick Clark’s “Where the Action Is” was terrific! The first music videos were aired on that show. Loved it.

    Too funny!
    But seriously…are there NO other photos??? Has our boy not left the house since he got home? Where are the ninjas when we need them???

    Taking care of some site updates this evening.

    The planning threads have been renamed to reflect the change in seasons, and the indefinite nature of future Queen shows. The permanent links to these threads changed, but they can still be accessed as before from the Trespassing drop-down menu above, under the Planning category. Here are the new permalinks:

    Adam solo: http://www.adamlambertlive.org/2012/adam-lambert-fall-2012-concerts

    Queen + Adam: http://www.adamlambertlive.org/2012/queen-adam-concerts

    Right now, the only show we have to plan for is the Arizona State Fair appearance in Phoenix on October 17. Hopefully there will be more shows added at some point, including more Queen + Adam dates!

    Updated the show listing in the upper right to include the Mezamashi Live appearance on August 15 in Tokyo (apparently this is scheduled to be only a 20 minute set), and the Take 40 Live Lounge show on August 22 in Sydney.

    Updated the Trespassing era tour map (linked from the Trespassing drop-down menu) to include all completed and currently scheduled shows.

    I’m not sure if we will have live chat threads for any of these August concerts. The August 15th show is very short, will start at 1130 PM EDT Tuesday night, and apparently there is a very strict ban on any cameras or even cell phones in the venue. So it seems unlikely we would get much from that show anyway – similar to the Amway event in China a while back. I’ll be traveling and unavailable to host threads for the remainder of the August concert dates. In any case, time zones will dictate that most of those shows (afternoon or evening local start times), will occur in the dead of night here in the US, and very early in the morning in Europe.

    Ron
    Sounds like a plan. Never been to Toronto only Windsor.

    I’m one very sentimental guy, aely, and I have a very special place in my heart for Windsor, Ontario.

    My first job as a professional Equity card holding member, ahem, was an 8 week contract at the “Elmwood Casino Dinner Theatre” in Windsor playing “Slim” (two lines) in “Oklahoma”. Otherwise, I was a “towns-person” and was in the chorus. I was asked by the director of “Oklahoma” if I’d like to be cast in his next production of “Can Can” to play a much bigger part as “Etienne” the poet for another 8 weeks.

    It was a difficult decision to make but I decided to be employed for the next two months. Smile

    Going back to “Oklahoma”, when I was 5 years old, there was a TV show called “Wagon Train” that starred Ward Bond. The role of “Scout” on this show was played by Robert Horton.

    I can look back and know that I was gay at 5 years old because I was attracted to Robert Horton. I was too young to know or begin to understand these feelings but now I know that that’s when it began.

    So guess who played the lead role of Curly in “Oklahoma” in my first professional job in the theater at the Elmwood Casino in Windsor?

    Guess! Laugh

    For those 8 weeks, I was the only cast member that Robert Horton and his wife invited to join them for dinner!! Why? He “believed in me” and thought I had the potential to “go far in this business”. He gave me his phone number, agent’s phone numbers in LA … I never pursued any of it.

    But, can you imagine?!

    I met and worked with and had dinner with the man that made me gay! ROTFL

    Of course not. Wonderful memories of meeting Bob (I get to call him that – LOL) and his lovely wife.

  18. eywflyer says:

    I seem to remember that there was discussion a few days ago about where to post a set of photos from one of the Queen shows such that they would not be viewable by the Internet in general. It was suggested to use one of the planning threads. I would like to remind everyone that we have the long dormant “Glambert & Recap Thread” set up for just such purposes!

  19. Kradamour says:

    Ron, that is such a great story! Thank you for sharing it. It would be wonderful to just sit and talk with you about random things one day. Oh, wait, we did that in Ste Agathe! but not for long enough. Cut way too short.

    I actually love Toronto, spent a splendid week there WAY back in 1980 (so of course the city has not changed at all…) and have always promised myself that I would return one day. When I do, may we sit and share more stories?

  20. aely says:

    But wouldn’t the platinum blond make him stand out even more??

  28. turquoisewaters says:

    With no eye make-up and a hat, I bet barely anybody would recognize him in blond.

    May we sit and share more stories?

    Dear Kradamour the time we did spend together in Ste.-Agathe was all too brief.

    In terms of time, they were moments here and there but they are moments that I treasure.

    I very much look forward to the day when I can buy you a kir royale and we can sit and spend more time together.

    Just us. Wink

    There was a tweet earlier today from some girl that said he was in line at the airport in front of her. He went on to the first class lounge and she didn’t.
    Also Brian tweeted that they were Tokyo bound earlier today. Sorry I didn’t get those posted here.
    It was all about the time Adam was tweeting.

    Dear nkd, Hug?

    I look at the framed photo I have on my wall that jlurksacto took of us in Montreal. It still fills me with so much emotion. I have to know that it always will.

    It would be nice to do it again.

    Sometime soon!

    Like, tomorrow! Laugh

    I’m going to be sensible for a change and go to bed now because it’s 2:15am and I need to get up bright and early tomorrow morning and take my vitamins. Wink

    Good nite.

    Morning, nkd, I’m here, Hope that you are feeling better. Just got up, read that good interview and went to post it after I caught up on last night’s conversations, and saw that HK Fan posted it first. (You are on an earlier time zone than me.)

    WOW, did Adam really get to Japan undetected by the paps? I was sure that they would have been buzzing around him to get a shot of his new hair. I really want to see it, but…..good for him!

  37. rs says:

    ron! We posted at the same time! Are you still up? Or did you sensibly go to bed? Sweet dreams. I will get on with my day.

    About PLL from http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/hollywood-celebrities-instyle-magazine-party-360458

    “Adam Lambert makes an appearance, which was such a shock to us because he is so amazing!” Pieterse said. “And the only other thing I can say is that it takes place on a train. And it’s crazy shocking!”

    Nothing new.
    I watched the first two seasons of PLL and have now caught up with this season, so I’m ready! I wanted to say that in these 2 1/2 seasons of this show, there have been no other special guest stars. As far as I can tell, Adam will be the first, and all 3 of my daughters watch this show so I can’t wait for them to get a dose of Adam!

    *Pieterse is one of the young actresses on the series. She plays Alison, the dead girl.

    It looks like just Adam and Brian for this first short gig. I guess the band will follow in a couple of days.
