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!

    “Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella”.

    Say what? Smile

    I’d have to check myself in somewhere if I ever saw my umbrella smiling. LOL

    @NKD
    Thongs are flip flops for Aussies, but G-string type pants for Brits (pants as in Knickers, not pants as in trousers!) Whew, getting a bit complicated.

    When I was growing up thongs were flip flops.

    I know exactly what you mean nkd but, maybe, HK fan won’t.

    American flip flops = rubber sandals.

    Smile

    Whoopee! A new interview with Adam about the album! I love what he has to say, and it just makes me even more eager for his new music.

    Nice, Kradamour!

  9. HK fan says:

    nope flip flops are the same for us, I live in mine…
    Love that Picture of Adam and Sauli in that article.

  10. dcglam says:

    Have we seen this one, yet? I’m losing track….. LOL Wink

    I also get a big kick out of the second picture down here:

    http://adamlamberttv.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-pictures-of-adam-lambert-at-nikka.html

    Check out that fabulous facial expression! LOL He is such a charmer.

    ETA: haha dcglam, we cross posted!

  12. Ron says:

    Do you also speak Chinese, HK fan? Not sure, but I think English is a secondary language in Hong Kong.

  13. dcglam says:

    ETA: haha dcglam, we cross posted!

    Well, you know those great minds…… Wink
    Love those guys staring mesmerized by him in the background!

  14. HK fan says:

    nope not a word. Ok maybe about 4 words! my eldest daughter speaks just about enough Cantonese to get by in a restaurant/market etc. My youngest 2 learn Mandarin at school.Chinese is not an easy language to learn and Mandarin and Cantonese are very different. In Mandarin each word has 4 meanings depending on the tone you use, and in Cantonese each word has 7 meanings (7tones),plus you don’t get any visual help with the writing like you do in European languages. I don’t seem to be able to hear where one word ends and another begins, let alone hear the tones. English is very widely spoken here, and all signs are in both English and Chinese.

  15. cwm says:

    dcglam, I think they are awestruck by the fabulousness that is his hair and his countenance. Razz

  16. Kradamour says:

    Almost the witching hour! Since I’m not a witch, I better pull up the duvet.
    G’nite peeps!
    Sweet Adam dreams (to include whichever of these pics is your favorite!)!

  17. dcglam says:

    Good night, Kradamour!

    And yup, cwm!

  18. Ron says:

    That’s fascinating, HK fan! Seven meanings for one word depending upon the way you pronounce it? Wow.

    There is one word that I could say in seven diffent ways but the meaning behind it would be perfectly clear. Wink

  19. asifclueless says:

    Hi … you ALL !!! Grin

    Just want to drop in and say hello before I go to bed.

    I’ve been on the road all over many states. Tomorrow will be in Kansas City.

    Last year at this time, I was at Midland theatre, KC, breathing the same air with BB.

    This year … depressed Frown I won’t get to see him.

    I didn’t have my laptop with me so I had missed all the drama .. the house and the address. But it seems everything is alright now. Everybody did the right thing.

    I’m lurking off and on. Can’t wait until the QC Festival.

    Happy and excited for all concert goers.

    Have a great get together and enjoy the awesome concert.

    Love you all. Grin

  20. Calgary says:

    Hey Ron,

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

    Cyclists want the wind at their back! (I had a windy ride today -in my face on the way home)
    cwm Thanks for the little interview! It’s like a rainshower during a drought!

  21. asifclueless says:

    Ron,

    Let me send you virtual kisses to the boo boo on your hand. Hope it gets well soon. <3 Grin

  22. Ron says:

    Hi Calgary!

    I know you and your husband are big-time bicycle enthusiasts!

    Why don’t you two simply cycle your way over to Ste.-Agathe? It’s not THAT far away from Calgary. LOL

    Might get to be a bit uncomfortable on the ‘hiny after the first thousand miles though … maybe just a tad … so please take that into consideration. LOL

  23. Ron says:

    Kisses back to you, asif!!

    Thanks! I’m starting to feel better already! Wink

  24. Ron says:

    With asif’s kisses, I’m off to bed.

    Good night and thanks for tucking me in, asif. Smile

  25. Calgary says:

    Haha Ron! I would LOVE to ride around that part of the country, but I’m a little late to start riding there from Calgary – at the rate I ride I might make it to Winnipeg by the 29th! I’m so sorry you can’t go – so near yet so far.

    Reading all this stuff about Ste Agathe tempts me soooo much, but I had to go fight the bank about an nsf cheque today – a temporary state but still… I have been educating my friend who lives there – she doesn’t know who Adam is, nor, to my amazement, did she know what American Idol was! I have my work cut out for me.Wink

  26. Calgary says:

    Okay, you can tell how incompetent I am at posting – how do I make smiley faces?

  27. Ron says:

    Still not asleep Calgary, but almost, so hope this makes sense.

    For a happy face, press on your keyboard: quotioent (Smile lower case: dash (-). After that, press upper case number o (for a smile) or, upper case #9 (() for a frown.

    Whew, I’ve exhausted myself just thinking about it! Smile

    If all else fails, refer to this:

  28. asifclueless says:

    Good night Ron Grin

    Take care and sweet Adam dreams. kiss .. kiss..kiss Grin

  29. cwm says:

    Haha Ron I don’t think you could have made that more complicated if you had tried! LOL

    Calgary, the only reason your smiley face didn’t work is because you didn’t leave a space between the period after “me” and the colon eyes of the smiley face. Just make sure that you have a space before and a space after your smiley face and you should be fine! Smile

    Hi asif! Good to see you again. It sounds like you’re traveling all over the place!

  30. cwm says:

    Anybody still here to ogle stare glance at Adam pics with me? Here’s another one. Razz

    Hahaha – I know! I was trying to be precise and clear and it reads back as about as clear as mud!! LOL

    Really off to bed now.

  32. cwm says:

    Ron you made me laugh out loud! Thanks. Grin

  33. cwm says:

    Well pooey, looks like I’m here all by myself at this point. Since I’m a post ho tonight, I’m gonna post this lovely video for you all to enjoy in the morning. Smile

    I think you’ll like it. I loved it. But then, I’m a romantic. It’s a lovely story and message I think you’ll appreciate, set to Gaga’s Edge of Glory, and very well done.

    Thank you cwm, that video is beautiful!

  36. ultimathule says:

    Funniest tweet tonight on Idol’s Nokia concert: “Prune commercial. They know the demographic here!”

    And thanks, cwm – just got back from BWI mob scene arrivals and spent the last few minutes recovering by gazing on the beauty of one, Adam Lambert. Man, do I loooove freckles.

  37. cwm says:

    Hi nekkid and ultimathule — glad to see that you’re still up too!

  38. ultimathule says:

    Difficult to un-tether oneself from the waking world and go to sleep.

  39. cwm says:

    Looks like our very own Suz526 was at the Idols Live concert tonight at the Nokia in LA, and is posting videos like a fiend over on MJs. Suz you are amazing!!

  40. ultimathule says:

    It was a beautiful night sky here in Maryland tonight. If I stay up much longer, the sun will rise and interrupt the reverie. Sometimes the night is more real than the day.

  41. cwm says:

    ultimahule — you sound so poetic tonight! In both of your last 2 posts.

    Adam was up late too:

    adamlambert Adam Lambert
    NYC. The Box. First time in a while I’ve been truly shocked by a performance. So refreshing. Word.
    1 hour ago

    And Michelle Collins as well: LOL

    @michcoll Michelle Collins
    @adamlambert Was it the guy yelling “I am not Amanda Lepore” while smashing a television with a bat? Or did someone sit on a bottle again?
    47 minutes ago via web

    Haha I wonder what the performance was. Must have been way out there. It’s pretty tough to shock Adam.

    And he sang happy birthday to one of the performers…

    Sirarigold Ari Gold
    Had a great convo w/ @adamlambert who sang happy bday for the 1 + only @RavenOH at the box!

    BTW, I read a bit of Ari Gold’s twitter page. He is a NY-based singer, who a few days ago was apparently told to move to the back of a bus (on the way to the Catskills) by the bus driver (who stopped the bus to demand that they move, and then when they refused, called the police) because he and his boyfriend were sitting in the front of the bus holding hands and sharing an ipod, making the bus driver “uncomfortable.” OMG are you kidding me? What year is this? First I find that beautiful Edge of Glory video, and then this. What a strange strange juxtaposition.

  42. Kradamour says:

    cwm, the back of the bus post provided a grim smile here…and not an amused smile. But it so bluntly presents the issues involved, if anyone doesn’t already “get” the parallels between racial and orientation discrimination. I hope it gets a lot of press.

    ultimathule, I loved your two last musings, especially the first. Tethered…yes. And with all its connotations.

    Difficult to un-tether oneself from the waking world and go to sleep.

    It was a beautiful night sky here in Maryland tonight. If I stay up much longer, the sun will rise and interrupt the reverie. Sometimes the night is more real than the day.

    Oddly enough, the sky here in SE Virginia was also astonishing yesterday, the beauty caught me by surprise and I stopped the car to gaze. Every emotion was in those clouds.

    Ah, BWI. I remember when it was a tiny little airport, in high school we used to go and watch the planes from the public observation deck on dates. Everyone laughed when they changed the name from “Friendship” to “Baltimore Washington International”, because there were no direct international flights.

    I think I’ll run the Maryland flag up our flagpole today.
    Have a great day, everyone! Smile

  43. little dutchess says:

    Wow! Some of you were up real late! Thanks for all the pics and info.
    RON
    I am so sorry to hear you won’t be able to go to Ste Agathe. I know how much you wanted to and that you were a driving force! I was so looking forward to meeting you!Next time, friend!

  44. dcglam says:

    Many thanks for the sweet video, cwm. It definitely brought tears to my eyes. I love “The Edge of Glory”, and it was just perfect for that story. It seems that you were up all kinds of late last night bringing us goodies. I keep forgetting about the time difference from where you are at, so it wasn’t really too terribly late for you. Wink

    The Glam Nation Tour continued heading west on 7/16/10, arriving at the Cotillion Ballroom in Wichita:

    http://www.adamlambertlive.org/2011/gnt-wichita-ks-071610

    Ron, I’m so sorry to hear that you won’t be able to make it to Sainte-Agathe, I was looking forward to meeting you. Hopefully it will work out sometime during the next tour.

    Next up on Sunday will be the Denver recap from 7/17/10, featuring an outstanding set of HD videos as our own suz526 was in attendance, and including my personal favorite version of one song for the entire tour.

  46. cwm says:

    Thanks dcglam. I’m glad you liked the treats. Yeah, I was up rather late, but I’m 3 hours earlier here, so it doesn’t look as bad as it appears on the timestamp! My intent was to be getting some work done last night, but Adam goodies kept drawing me in and away from my work. Anybody else ever have that problem? Wink

  47. eywflyer says:

    Bonus recap that ya’ll just might enjoy: Wink

  48. Kradamour says:

    eywflyer, THANK YOU!
    The only concert that I wish with all my heart that I could have attended was the Fantasy Springs performance. It just stands alone, IMO. Adam really had his gay on, and it totally worked. I watch those videos regularly, delighted to have them all in one place that I can access with a single click!
