Hi everyone!   I realize some of you don’t like the eyes pictures but I think this one is beautiful.  I think of looking ahead to the Festival, new single, next album and tour when I look at this picture.  This month all of us will have a huge treat to look forward to with Adam performing at the St. Agathe en Feux Festival and my good friend Suz526’s videos on 7/29!   Please keep us all updated on the plans of the rather sizeable group of you who will be attending this concert as those of us who can’t make it to Canada will live vicariously through you for this one!

Thursday evening July 7th update: thanks to angelowal, we now have a translated link to FAQs for the Festival!

    Ron, I am so sorry to read your story about NYC in 1976. My heart breaks when I hear of things like this. I just cannot stand intolerance and bigotry. The more I work in a “people” profession, the more I meet all sorts of people from every faith, color, language, etc. I just truly believe that we are all the same inside.

    The plot of the show we saw on Broadway was about this. A white DJ in the 50’s falls in love with a blues singing black girl in Memphis. Such a strong theme, set to great singing, dancing and acting. No wonder it won the Tony in 2010.

    “””I’ll be more than happy to join you for the wine and chocolate party!! Thanks for inviting me! mils, you can have all of my chocolate. I will accept your invitation to have some wine, though! Smile “””

    Are you an anti-chocolate-ite Ron? Does this extend to , ( gasping in horror, Nutella?) Say it ain’t so Ron. Say it ain’t so.

    I don’t drink, so Ron can have my wine for the concert….and I’ll have his chocolate, Love chocolate, but only milk…and sorry Mils, but I will quietly admit I don’t like Nutella
    And sorry Ron to hear that you can no longer go to the festival, we could all feel your excitement about going through your comments.

    Thanks HK. I’ll keep my dark chocolate, and some red wine for myself.

    I am so glad to hear that BTM got changed. Woot!! I was going to have to rely on my DVR, will be away again on the 10th.

    I’m back.
    Ron, I was kidding. I hope you’ll feel better and will join us in the future.
    Mils, some time ago i had a visitor from abroad. After first visit to Manhattan he said that he is going to bring a little folding chair and just sit and watch.
    And the human theatre will perform for him. Times Square area.
    Before it was cleaned up by Guliani.

    I think it’s some kind of token of his and Sauli’s relationship. I don’t think it’s a lock of hair, though. LOL

    cwm, I think the same but I don’t want to speculate what it is.LOL.

    Ron Wanted to post a quick sorry for your missing the gathering. You will be missed but with all of us in spirit..gosh this is starting to sound way too morbid. We will miss you…enough said.

    Love the speculation game around the little leather pouch. I think it is a little piece of paper with rakastan written on it in Sauli’s handwriting.

  8. cwm says:

    Good Ron, I’m glad you can join us. Obviously it won’t be the same as being there in person, but we’ll have a good time. Smile

    mils:
    Something happened with Adam’s house. Fer the love of this Glambert, somebody please let me in on the news.

    mils— somebody somewhere sleuthed out Adam’s home address and photos of his house through a realtor’s website and posted it on a gossip site, which then got picked up on twitter, re-tweeted among fans, and posted on other fansites, and it went viral from there. It was a big brouhaha Wednesday night and Thursday day, with many people very upset and concerned about the invasion of Adam’s privacy and potential threat to his security at home.

    In fact, RCAed at AO was pretty livid about the breach, and RCA was taking the situation quite seriously (see link below). They’re keeping a close eye on the posts at AO to make sure it’s not posted there and will yank it and ban anyone who does. And other fansites are trying to prevent any further spread of the info too. You may have seen that eywflyer said that they will also ban anyone that posts the information here.

    2) Something happened with Adam’s house. Fer the love of this Glambert, somebody please let me in on the news.

    Mils, I believe it started on Twitter when someone supplied a Link to, not only show Adams’ house, but include Adam’s address and what he pays per month to rent it. The address and price have since been removed. I think you can still access the photos.

    Guilty as charged, adamized! When I read what you wrote, I actually had one of those visceral reactions in my chest that I sometimes get when I realize how much I love my kids or my husband, or when I’m really touched by an expression of love by others. Pretty crazy, huh?

    I think you guys might enjoy seeing this. teehee

    Are you an anti-chocolate-ite Ron?

    I don’t remember the last time that I had anything that was chocolate. It’s good but it appears that I can live without it. Smile Never have experienced, what sounds like a “taste-bud-treat”, Nutella. Nuts with chocolate?! Who ever heard of such a thing? Grin

    HK fan says:
    07/15/2011 at 8:39 pm
    I don’t drink, so Ron can have my wine for the concert

    This party is getting to be more fun by the moment! Wink Thank you, HK fan!

  15. Kradamour says:
    07/15/2011 at 10:03 pm

    Nutella is not chocolate. IMHO. Ugh.
    (sorry, mils Smile )

    Linen trousers. Perfect European slip-ons, in dark shiny brown leather. White collarless shirt, perfectly pressed, tucked in just enough, but billowed in the breeze. Perfect watch. Model? Perhaps. Shop clerk? Perhaps. A vision? Yup.

    I love love love to catch peeps like this in action. Years ago in New York I was walking in Murray Hill and saw a similar vision walking toward me: a tall and wonderfully elegant woman, legs that went on forever, perfectly tousled short dark hair, perfect skin with a touch of makeup, slim jeans and ballet slippers, a perfect pearl choker, and a semi-sheer handkerchief linen shirt with rolled up sleeves, partially unbuttoned.
    It was a thousand degrees and she was cool and elegant, strolling casually, absorbed in her own thoughts. Now the interesting part (not that she wasn’t interesting already): there was a construction site across the street from us, and it was break time. New York construction workers. Not the most subtle of men. Rolls Eyes
    Another piece of information: the woman was not wearing a bra, and had about the most beautiful rack I have ever seen (pardon the phrase, but it suits here) and the semi-sheer linen left nothing to the imagination. You can guess the construction crew response?
    No, you probably can’t. They were silently and respectfully and gratefully awestruck. One of them started to make a remark and the guys on each side immediately elbowed him into silence while they all stared, smitten.
    One of the nicest memories of my twice 29 years.
    I love NYC. Smile

    Happy to “see” a smile on your face, Ron, as you begin to look forward to the wine/chocolate cyber party here in two weeks. Unfortunately, it looks as though I will be missing out on both the actual concert and the ALL online party.
    I will be out of town with very limited internet access during that time. Yeah, the timing sucks, but our plans have been in place for a while now. However, my thoughts will be right here with all of you. Enjoy!! Smile

  17. Ron says:
    07/15/2011 at 10:11 pm

    OMG, I remember those construction workers! That was ME, Kradamour! I still have the outfit. Smile

    Ok kradamour, I give. What does OFHS stand for?

    Oh For [whose?] Sake…???

    I even checked urbandictionary.com and there’s nuthin’ for OFHS.

  21. Ron says:
    07/15/2011 at 10:28 pm

    C’est que ce “OFHS?”.

    Nevermind. Ignorance can be bliss.

    Ron, I’m sure that semi-sheer blouse looked amazing on you!

    I thought so. LOL I identified with Kradamour’s post because I too never wear a bra. Wink Honest!

    More importantly, why isn’t that in urban dictionary??

  26. cwm says:
    07/15/2011 at 10:39 pm

    Ok, I’m a little perturbed that it’s been a whole HOUR and nobody has commented on that pretty little picture I posted. Nothing about the hair, the freckles, the shoulders, the chest, the face, the eyes, the mouth, the tan… What is wrong with you people???

    Here it is again, in case you missed it before because you got distracted by see-through linen blouses… Wink

    cwm, I saved that pic to my hard drive as soon as you posted it. I love that someone took the photo with the sort of creepy guy and cut him out! to leave gorgeous Adam. I’m not a fan of tank tops on men, but this pic is the exception to that rule. It may be my wallpaper by the time you read this!

    ETA: Ooooh, it has a zoom feature! Grin

  29. nkd says:

    Funny though, I typed in ruraldictionary.com into my browser just to see what I would get, and guess where it took me? To urbandictionary.com! I think someone needs to create an online rural dictionary.

    the photo with the sort of creepy guy

    I actually went to the guy’s website which is called According to G. and read what he wrote to go with the photo and was pleasantly surprised at how polite he was. It’s a cute little item. You can read it here: http://according2g.com/category/encounters-with-g/

    @cwm
    love that picture, thanks.
    I keep getting a different mental picture when I see you all writing about his ‘tank top’. In England a tanktop is a knitted sleeveless jumper, commonly worn by men in the 1940’s over shirts, now more normally associated with nerds or ‘trainspotters’ (a phrase that came up in one of his Uk interviews, justin lee collins or jonathan ross). Also often known as wife beaters (but they usally have a round neck).
    I find it funny the differences between words in American, English and even Australian when we are all speaking the same language.

  38. Kradamour says:
    07/15/2011 at 11:01 pm

    I read it too, Calgary, but he seemed a little bit smarmy to me, I trolled around on his website. he is sort of like “Perez light”. But that’s just me. I have trouble with anyone who makes a living from namedropping.

  39. HK fan says:
    07/15/2011 at 11:01 pm

    Just thought I’d add its nice to be on line when some of you still are. Normally I catch you all as you’re just going to bed!!

  40. Kradamour says:
    07/15/2011 at 11:02 pm

    In England a tanktop is a knitted sleeveless jumper

    And in the US a jumper is a sweater…

  41. Kradamour says:
    07/15/2011 at 11:03 pm

    HK fan, is HK Hong Kong? or is that too obvious and the HK actually means something else?

  42. nkd says:
    07/15/2011 at 11:05 pm

    Calgary, that was a nice article!

    HK fan, I too find it interesting the differences in the use of common words while we are indeed speaking the same language!

  43. HK fan says:
    07/15/2011 at 11:08 pm

    @Kradamour
    yep, HK is Hong Kong. I am a Brit, but have been living in HK for the last 14 years.

    That sounds like a sweater vest to me. Smile

    Funny about language. I was on a work trip with colleagues from the US, Australia, and England, and we were laughing about all of the very different words we used for the same things (e.g. forest vs. bush, car trunk vs. boot, whine vs. whinge).

    I love language, words and phrases, HK fan. I love researching the origin of phrases, their meaning and how they are still used today.

    Today, I wouldn’t see a guest to the door and say, “God speed and have the wind at your back” but that’s the way people used to talk. Who said it first? Why is it remembered today?

    I remember someone once saying to me, “Who wants wind at their back? It’s cold”. Smile

    There are much better examples of obscure phrases still used today but I can’t think of another one at the moment.

    Many years ago we had an American friend staying in the UK for several months for work, and he used to stay with us at weekends. He went back ‘speaking’ English much to his kids amusement, talking about pavements,lorries,car bonnets,trousers, nappies, dummies etc
    The Aussie one that always makes me think twice about what they’re talking about is thongs…

  49. Kradamour says:

    Raining cats and dogs.
    The French say raining ropes. Makes much more sense!

    When I was growing up thongs were flip flops.

    What is the Aussie use of thongs?
