As July ends, so does a fantastic series of concerts by Queen and Adam across North America. It will be a summer that many ALLers will never forget! Q+AL take a few weeks break before heading off to Asia and then for concerts Down Under. If the reception there is anything like it was here, Q+AL can expect to get some major loving!

Enjoy the chat!

    I did read that Dasani is purified local water, so maybe it’s the Houston water!

  3. HK fan says:

    Thanks allSmile
    The Coca Cola HK company also does a bottled water called bonaqua, just distilled water…..assume its the same thing. Tastes fine to me..

    So, smalls, you’ll really appreciate one of our catch phrases in regards to Adam:

    Resistance is futile.

    Truly, love you with all of my heart. Kiss

  7. asmallworld says:

    Yes, mils, I certainly do. Grin
    … And ain’t it the truth.

    I also enjoy how well assimilated we are in this collective. ;D

  8. angelowal says:

    Nite all at ALL, can’t wait for tomorrow’s (today’s) concert in Tokyo – I hope it’s not raining for them.

  9. HK fan says:

    Tokyo weather today….mostly cloudy, 30c, 84% humidity…..

  10. nkd says:

    Ron, have I told you lately that I love you?!!
    I miss you!!! Kiss

    So what would you all have on your riders?

    ME: ADAM LAMBERT

  13. asmallworld says:

    EPIC, retjenny!! lololol.

    You Rule. Grin Grin

  14. Ron says:

    A “selfie” that I took yesterday just before leaving to go to TLKC‘s home for another wonderful, as always, time together.

    This will tell you how generous and thoughtful and caring a person that TLKC is … she gave me one of her VIP ticket packages that includes the tote bag, the poster, and T-shirt!

    Thank you again dear TLKC. Kiss

    Oh! The “selfie”! Well, I guess it’s not really a selfie, but instead a pic that I took yesterday. I kind of like the composition of this photo with the mirror image, and the old framed modelling photo (from yesteryear) and me wearing one of my more conservative shirts.

    Laugh

  15. rs says:

    So it is 7 something and I just woke up and caught up on last night’s posts. smalls, you nailed it! Adam taps into something so deep inside each of us that many of us thought we had lost, or didn’t even know we had.

    And mils, smalls shares a profession with me, not with you, sorry. But we all three share a love for Picard, lol!

    Love the riders!

  16. twilightmagic8 says:

    smalls~Your manuscript post was lovely, and I just really felt all your words. Thanks for taking the time, to say so much in a thoughtful and heartfelt reprose. Rose

    Playing catch up here, & don’t want to miss a thing. Time is going by so fast!

  17. asmallworld says:

    Well, good gracious Ron
    What a handsome man you are. Nice picture!

    Sharp shirt you have on there, too – Killer pattern.

    (btw, the poster behind you is quite compelling. Nice touch. ;D)

    Happy to hear that you & TLKC had a wonderful time together.
    Fantastic gift for you!!
    … Thanks for sharing your “selfie” with us.Blowing Kisses Rose

  18. asmallworld says:

    rs, I so agree with you… insightful words.
    Thank you very much. Rose

    “didn’t know we had” can be especially true.

    I do hope all is well with you. Kiss Rose

  19. asmallworld says:

    twilight! Awwwz… Thank you. Glad you felt it with me.
    It’s sweet of YOU to take the time. I love your kindness. Heart Rose

    nkd:
    cwm, I’ll be snacking in your room, but will bring some white wine and macadamias! Smile

    milwlovesadam:
    nkd, I’ll bring the mango salsa.

    Sounds fabulous! C’mon over!! Everybody’s welcome!! Big Smile

    Drink Pizza <–pretend that's a pita wedge with hummus Wink

  21. rs says:

    I’ll bring the hummus and tchina (tahini to you)! Israeli hummus is the best and purest in the world! And nothing will convince me otherwise. Anyone who has tasted it will attest, cher, mils, cgesq

  22. cwm says:

    Haha rs, that’s probably why Brian says “no hummus.” He knows he wouldn’t be able to get that first-rate Israeli hummus and so he wants no second-rate hummus. Wink

  23. rs says:

    Hi cwm Waving . Maybe next trip, if I know that we are getting together, I should bring a big tub of hummus instead of the goodies I usually bring Big Smile . Somehow, I don’t think that American customs would like that very much, though. You all will just have to come here and visit and taste it for yourselves.

  26. glambotgram says:

    Wow, what a night you had here.
    love all the riders. I gotta say Dr. Brian May us a man after my own heart. NO HUMMUS OR GREEK FOOD. I am there all the way, never got the hummus love.
    If going Regular drinks then it is Classic Coke all the way, but if diet is thrown in there then it is Pepsi Max or diet Pepsi. Someone described fizzy water as tasting like it has crushed aspirin it. ITA I always say it tastes like it has baking soda in it, Diet Coke tastes like that too, to me anyway.

    Love all the fruit and veggies on the lists. Very interesting to see what they prefer.

    Smalls loved your eloquent post. Very true if most of us.

  27. rs says:

    For someone who is feeling his age, Br Bri is really bringing it! Love him more every day Heart

    ron I have been lurking in the corner concealed behind my ‘invisibility cloak’ for a very long time………..but shhhhhh Quiet , nobody knows I’m there………

    Lurking here, there and everywhere as it turns out. I had invited all the people who weren’t working on Friday afternoon to come to lunch (i.e. Ron and Sleepwalker 1877.) On a whim I called angelowal, who lives in a nearbye city, to see if she could make it on very short notice. She actually called me to give regrets and then showed up 45 minutes later!!!! The little dickens sure knows how to make an entrance.

    That spontaneous “too small” exclamation on the TO concert vid is priceless. I wonder if we can get Sleepwalker1877 to share it. It definitely belongs in the archives, under G. Laugh

  29. TLKC says:

    WOW! Such a lot of conversation over the last 24 hours that it took a while to find smalls post, which speaks so beautifully to the feelings we all share about Adam and this community and how much he means to us. Lovely, heartfelt post. Ron is right, it should be bronzed.

  30. TLKC says:

    Agree with luval on the Red Bull, especially when mixed with booze. The city of Toronto is on the verge of banning the sale of energy drinks for all public (i.e. city-approved) events where a liquor license has been assigned.

    There is a growing body of work on the danger of mixing them with booze and the extent to which the labels lie about the sugar and caffeine content.

    I understand why Adam would want them before a show. Not a biggie because they are merely bad for you. It’s the mixing that is a problem

  31. luval says:

    I think all I said in answer to smalls post was “great post” but honestly it really says everything most of us feel about this boy/man. I think about this quite a bit at times especially when I’m trying to describe to people why I’m a part of this.

    smalls, can you give us (me) a Cliff Notes version that I can keep in my pocket? Smile

  32. luval says:

    If he ever has another twitter party someone should ask him if he has any riders. Pretend we didn’t see twitter. Smile

  33. sparkle says:

    smalls – finally got a chance to read your epic post. Thank you for trusting our group here with your thoughts and feelings. You have awakened us here at ALL much like Adam has awakened all the members of Queen, particularly Brian May. And for that, we are all in your debt. THANK YOU!!!

  34. sparkle says:

    luval – a Cliff Notes version sounds like a great idea. And I like your thought about asking about his riders!

  35. sparkle says:

    The ultimate honor that any of us here could aspire to:

    Being listed as a rider for Adam!

    Since I thought of it, I deserve to be the first but out of affection for my fellow ALL’ers, I would be willing to give up this honor to switch to one of the other necessary positions like dresser, robe donner, readying Adam for the robe, etcetera, etcetera! LOL!!

  36. sparkle says:

    retjenny – should be second, since her post inspired me to think of this in the first place!

  37. sparkle says:

    A rainy day here in Central PA. Tomorrow’s my first day of work at a new firm – getting nervous. I’ll have to repeat Adam’s words to myself throughout the day – I’m not skerd!

  38. luval says:

    Have a great first day at work tomorrow, sparkle. You will charm the pants off of them! Smile

  39. TLKC says:

    Congrats on your new job sparkle! Knock’em dead.

    RE: the jobs list, this rider thing is a blessing because it offers up a whole new set of tasks; providing each and every item on the list one-at-a-time. The original jobs list was posted on MJSBigBlog in 2010. I re-posted it a while back on this blog but will have to look for it. Was it before the 2012 QAL shows?

    All I know is that Ron and another person named baebae got the top jobs: tending to Adam’s needs in First Class. Baebae has left for decidedly less green pastures (imho) so one of the top spots is open, unless we re-assigned it in 2012.

    The list was specific to Wembley, which we had always envisioned for Adam and it was assumed that we would all be on the plane with him. (It was the middle of the night, we were waiting for videos and some of us might have been Drink Drink Drink .)

  40. Axxxel says:

    @asmallworld… Glad to “meet” you and to know you…
    Waah that was a nice posting about control freaks and the inner child… Yeah, I am a bit of a control freak myself, when it comes to my own emotions… and Adam’s voice and no nonsense but still polite attitude makes this semi-old lady feel young again.

    Thank you for your comments on my avi… I love music… I loved the radio..”my only friend through teenage nights (RGG)”, and I am also a Gleek. So Adam on Glee was pure entertainment paradise for me…

    Thank you for sharing this Glambert brother/sisterhood with me. Grin Coffee

    Oh, my dear TLKC, time has dimmed the memory…we had GN job lists, we had a super fun time ( no Drink Drink or Beer needed for me ).

    We had a big job to do to “get ready” for the European leg of GN. Jobs a plenty, starting on the plane trips. LOLOL

    Gawd, we were so pervy back then…and still!!

    Wembley. And baebae and something to do with broomstick rides. I have cobwebs in certain corners with the details.

    I’m still hoping for Wembley. It may happen, with or without Queen. Likely WITH.

  42. sparkle says:

    luval and TLKC – Thanks so much for the encouraging words! I’ll have to read them again tomorrow morning before I leave!

  43. milwlovesadam says:

    I’ll bring the hummus and tchina (tahini to you)! Israeli hummus is the best and purest in the world! And nothing will convince me otherwise. Anyone who has tasted it will attest, cher, mils, cgesq

    Hi there rs!!!

    Yes, nothing can beat the real deal Israeli hummus. It is so smooth and creamy. Nothing can beat the real deal Israeli falafel and fixings either. I try to make mine at home as smooth as possible, I come pretty close. Yummmmm. Even hubby, a sabra, thinks it is pretty good. But, gotta say, Sabra brand and Trader Joe’s have couple of types that also come close. Anything that is not smooth, is not Israeli style. IMHO.

  44. milwlovesadam says:

    sparkle, good luck to you.

  45. mmm222 says:

    Okay, I’m taking notes on everyone’s rider requests for the next time I host an ALL party at my house. I’ll have everyone’s food preferences on hand, but probably won’t be able to accommodate rejenny’s request for AFL, at least not at my house.

    All this talk about hummus, which I absolutely love, reminds me of cwm’s, adamized’s, and my ride home to Maryland from the Izod concert. I was driving, cwm was reading to us from twitter, and adamized was sitting in the back seat handing us ample supplies of pita chips and hummus in addition to cwm’s special dark chocolate from Oregon to keep us awake on the long drive home. It’s a nice memory. I’m looking forward to the next round of concerts so we can do it all over again.

  46. milwlovesadam says:

    won’t be able to accommodate rejenny’s request for AFL, at least not at my house.

    Well, saweetie pie, that’s because he is always here. At MY house, right smack in the corner.

    All the time. Anytime. Yup. That’s my world, my vision, and I’m sticking to it.

    Sorry ’bout the rest of you….( greedy greedy needy fan here ). Grin Devil Devil Devil

  47. luval says:

    Just heard Am I Wrong by Nico & Vinz in my car radio. Aren’t those the guys that opened for Bruno in Toronto? Really like the song.

  48. luval says:

    mmm222 Cannot wait for the next round of adventures! They can’t come soon enough. Am still on a QAL high but that’s because they are still on tour. But afterwards…don’t want to think how I’ll feel!

  49. mmm222 says:

    Okay mils, we’ll have to have our party in the corner at your house! I’ve got my list of food requests to bring. You can bring the mango salsa and hummus and cwm can bring her Oregon dark chocolate. I’ll bake lots of cookies too.
