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!

    Forgot to say earlier I play Words With Friends on my Kindle Fire, but my daughter plays it on her phone or sometimes on her computer through her Facebook page. You don’t have to have a smartphone or a tablet to play it.
    There is also Scramble with Friends which I am terrible at. LOL

  2. milwlovesadam says:

    Well, guys, all I know is I love Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit ( I probably honed my Adam Trivia skillz on this ) and Jeopardy. I would love to play Words with Friends. Maybe on a plane on my way to a Queenbert show. LOL. I’d make the news like Alec Baldwin!

    GTG. It’s time for a BBQ! It’s only 85 today. You can be outside and not melt. What a relief.

    Guys, what happened that is terrible? I don’t have a TV remember.
    Question

    A twitter post said only 240 copies necessary for GNT to go gold. (?)

    Maybe we need to start gifting it. Big Smile

  8. luval says:

    If I buy one at my local independent music store tomorrow it will count as two.

  9. ultimathule says:

    Didn’t know that, luval – problem is finding an independent music store now.

  10. glambotgram says:

    #Glamberts please buy or gift another GNT DVD/CD he’s so close to GOLD. Just gifted 2 more. We can do this for him. Amazon best price RT

    It is $16.41 at Amazon for CD/DVD $19.99 for blu-ray

    I wonder if any of the youth groups would want this?

  11. luval says:

    Check a University area. That’s where you mostly find the independent stores, although the one I go to is in a “soho” type area here in Syracuse, NY. Just make sure they use soundscan.

  12. milwlovesadam says:

    Something tells me that as soon as it’s posted, it’s done. It’s quiet in the fandom right now. Glamberts need something to do!!

  13. luval says:

    I think you are right, mils. Probably well over 240 have been sold by now.

  14. glambotgram says:

    ultimathule

    It is not all independent music stores. Some don’t count any. You have to find the ones that count for more than one. Usually it is the places that have artists in for signings because the record companies know which ones count for more than one.

  15. HK fan says:

    Hi all, just popping in to say hello. Have been reading the comments the last couple of days but don’t really have anything to add to the conversation.
    I don’t remember Marilyn Monroe, embarrassing to admit, but I don’t think I’ve even seen any of her movies….However I remember clearly sitting in the bathroom crying after hearing Elvis had died.
    I don’t have a juicer, and all the receipes sound awful, can’t see me trying any of those anytime soon. I actually only drink about 6 things…
    I don’t have a smart phone either, just a basic mobile that make phone calls and texts.
    And I know nothing about the scouts, especially the American ones.
    And I have no Adam related news…..
    So just HiSmile

    Here she goes again!
    Scroll down to see what she predicts.

    http://lol-psychic.com/

  18. HK fan says:

    oh, and re Mj’s. I was surprised that she didn’t seem to cover any of Adams Queen concerts apart from one line in the headline threads. I had a comment removed from there again the other day, and Adam related one….
    I used to be able to spend hours on there reading the comments, now it can be done in 10 minutes. It all seems to be Scotty/Carrie/Kelly and JD…

  19. ultimathule says:

    Checked D.C., MD, VA for record stores – found five listed – two (Orpheus and Melody) going out of business. Another is mainly a guitar store, and the other two – CD Cellar and Roadhouse Oldies – used stuff.

    Guess they’re pretty much all gone around here – will keep checking though unlikely.

  20. aely says:

    LOL RT @dizzyfeet: @MichaelSlezakTV Nick Jonas was on #OpeningAct. There may be confusion?
    Michael tweeter if you are serious about Jonas we need to talk to Nigel. Above is the response ? ?

  21. fwachdr says:

    Just ordered two more copies on amazon…lot quicker than finding a music store! So are we there yet?

  22. turquoisewaters says:

    HKFan: Hi back! I find myself in a very similar position. Is this a draught or what???

  23. Kradamour says:

    glambotgram, you’ve got mail a word!
    Grin

  24. Kradamour says:

    Thanks for the link, luval.
    I was happier not knowing.
    And the most horrifying thing to me? That my immediate and instinctive response was “oh, thank goodness, only 6 people dead”.
    WTF?
    Things are so bad that “only” six people is cause for relief???
    Pain

    Nice pic of Sauli. Adam next. Cool I wish.

  26. fwachdr says:

    HKFan, I thought surely I was the only one without an iPhone and juicer! Thanks to you I already feel less like an outsider…LOL!!

  27. Kradamour says:

    goatie, thank you – what an amazing photo! I wonder if Adam took it? He is developing skilz with the camera!
    Smile Camera Smile

  28. Kradamour says:

    but you do have an iPad, froggie!
    Wink

  29. fwachdr says:

    Yes, kradamour, I LOVE my iPad!! I would not be able to function without ALL to guide me!!

  30. fwachdr says:

    Forgot to say, “Nighty night–sweet Adam/Queenbert dreams to you ALL!”

  31. HK fan says:

    fwachdr, you’re welcomeSmile My kids are always going on at me being techno challenged, but I’m getting there, learning new things slowly.
    And its my birthday in 2 days, maybe my hubby will take pity on me and upgrade my phone or something…He did get me a tablet for xmas, but I don’t find it that easy to use, certainly haven’t worked out how to use it to its full potential. I think an ipad would be easier.

    Lovely photo of Sauli, yep we definitely need one of Adam to go with it..

  32. HK fan says:

    Someone else thinking on the same lines as us….

    KittyKatsz ‏@KittyKatsz
    Eghads @adamlambert ! Plz take a page out of ur bf’s book, & send us a similar holiday snapshot!!! Wink

  33. milwlovesadam says:

    Are we sure that wasn’t a leftover Fault picture? If not, Adam is a very talented photographer.

    Has anybody done an astrological alignment to figure out where they are yet by the photo? Satellite pictures of cloud formations? LOL Nothing gets by the Glamberts.

    Adam was two bars into Trespassing in those red pants and pictures of the Crazy pants were already being researched and tweeted. Nothing gets past us!

  34. milwlovesadam says:

    Kradamour, it’s 7 including the assailant. And several in our Level One Trauma Hospital with serious injuries, including a police officer, the one who killed him. Two survivors were shot in the face. The guy targeted men in turbans, and had a 9/11 tattoo. Big dummy couldn’t tell the difference between Sikhs and his most likely intended victims, Muslims. Not any better, just ignorant on his part.

    The news conference tomorrow will have more details. I feel dirty knowing this happened in my metro area.

    I’d much rather flail over Sauli’s picture. And hope for a topless photo of Adam. We know he’s not wearing one in private. But, he’ll probably have at least three layers on in a photo for us and a hat and a necklace, and big sunglasses and dork shorts and dork sandals. Oh Adam. Some things never change.

    milws

    Rainbow, are you around? Aren’t you from Oak Creek originally??

    Today was the day I was going to catch up here and recap the trip to DesMoines. How does the saying go “best laid plans…” I will come back with the concert stuff and dinner recap. But I stopped in to see what milws said about the shootings. I needed a place to hang.

    The temple is only 1/2 mile from my sisters home. About 1.5 from another’s. My youngest sister called and the policemen that were doing the news duty – she went to school with both of them. We are awaiting information about the officer that was shot. I have 8 brothers and sisters that live right around there – within 4 miles. We just know one of my siblings will know the officer that was shot. In fact my brother is out here for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally (we get 250,000 people over a two to three week period). He was employed by the city until Gov. Walker went after the unions. He will know who that officer is for sure. So many people think that this temple is related to the Arab culture. I wouldn’t be surprised if the shooter didn’t make that same mistake. And another concern is I have a niece that is a police woman in Kenosha about 15 miles down the road from Oak Creek. I’m always worried about her safety. So many thoughts. I’m just so saddened that this happened where I grew up safe and sound.

    I will be back soon. Real Life has me tap dancing to keep up. Miss all of you so much. Prayers that you are all safe as we go forward.

    PS milws saw your email and I will get to that tomorrow. Sorry I’m not more timely.

    Yes, we are ninjas.

    Prayers for everyone affected by the Wisconsin event. Makes me want to hug all of you and Adam that much more.

    Just ordered two GNT – want that gold.

  41. ultimathule says:

    Agree, HK fan – it seems pretty dull over at MJ’s – didn’t know if it was just me, my waning interest in the show, the constant praise of Kelly and Carrie (I can live without both of them, especially Carrie), the departure of the more interesting posters, and the stranglehold MJ has on any Adam comment. Almost afraid to mention his name – lol. It’s all become so very bland. Don’t think I’ll miss Idol or MJ’s as much as I thought I might. For me, think the fun’s pretty much over.

    Only an Adam appearance would excite me again.

  42. ultimathule says:

    Another terrible event – just hope the usuals don’t jump in to make political hay out of it.

  43. cher says:

    Ooh Krad and glambotgram…I spend most of my days playing WWF.
    Have about 30 games going….It’s like a fulltime job. Cry Also a bit of scrabble as well.

  44. Kradamour says:

    cher, what is your name on WWF? (I only have three games going now!)

  45. LadyNorth says:

    Hi everyone, I am on the grid again (quick learner, you see Smile ) It was a wonderful weekend off, very nice wedding! Casual, loose and international! I partyed late, uhuh!

    fwachdr and HK fan, I don’t have a juicer or iphone or any smartphone or apple-anything. When I am off I really am! I haven’t felt a need for any of those and I am slow to catch new technology. But with this Adam fandom, maybe I am starting to feel the need Laugh

    First thing I caught in twitter when I came back was that Sauli photo. I thought it was one of the Fault pictures, it was so artistic! Good for Adam if he took it! Good be vacation photo too. Beautiful anyway.

    Then I read a very nice essay on Brian’s pages about Queen+Adam, posted originally in adamtopia. I have to read backwards here to see if it’s posted already…

    So sorry about the shooting Frown It happens too often these days, here too…

    Hi ALL,

    Hope you all remember me!!! Heart

    I packed up my laptop the last night of QueenBert, London.
    Guess what?!? I’m still stuck here in KSA, catch-22. Long story!!!

    Gotta pack up my laptop again tonight.
    Hope to leave here in a couple days.
    See you later … whenevah I’ve got a chance.

    Mils and Krads .. You both cracked me up.

    Thanks Kradamour. My husband likes my juices too.

    Unfortunately, my hubbie doesn’t like my juices.

    SistaKrads .. I’ll come back here again on August 27 … Great Date!!!

  48. LadyNorth says:

    Hi asif! Some people already missed you here Smile Have a nice second try to leave.

    I see also you read an essay I thought needed to be posted here… Just finished reading here, it wasn’t posted earlier. It was very heart warming and I really agree with the content. Brian seems to follow Adam-related issues on sites Smile

  49. asifclueless says:

    Hi LadyNorth,

    Thanks!! Grin

    Yes, I very much love NoAngel’s essay … copy and save it.

    How was your trip to Queenberts, London? Have you met all peeps from here?
    Did you write your recap? Sorry to ask because I’m really far behind.

    I’ll catch up with what I have missed since last ustream Queenbert on July 14. I haven’t watched any videos from London yet, let alone the Trespassing concerts in the US.

    Gotta go again. Bye for now.

    Heart

  50. LadyNorth says:

    Asif, my London trip was very great Big Smile Adam with Queen is something to remember the lifetime! I wrote some kind of recap the next day in London on 12th Queen thread and some later feelings on July thread when I got home… But it was not a good detailed recap, because I was so speechless Laugh And I was far and so strongly living it by myself, I only remembered that great fun feeling! The crowd around you made it so great to be there (or slightly less on 11th). Some peeps that were in GA have very interesting recaps, concerning Queen fans too. But I have “lived” those concerts by videos hundred times afterwards. I downloaded TALCvids and some others of the 12th and been watching them also on tv screen. They also have some very good ones from 14th.

    Yes I finally managed to meet some peeps here on 12th after the concert. So at least I know many faces! I talked to some and said hi to a few more Smile Unfortunately I wasn’t there on the dinner night and couldn’t catch the group that met on 11th after concert, I wish it had been longer connect. It’s difficult to meet a big group of people you don’t know at a short time!
