November finds Adam starting out the month with a rather exclusive gig at “Live in the Vineyard” in Napa, California, followed later on in the month by his first concerts in South Africa. Recent information hints that these concerts could be the unofficial start of a potential upcoming Trespassing tour, but we’ll have to wait and see about that.

Had a hard time finding a good photo this month – I’m not a fan of the Glampire pix this year so had to look for other pics. Eventually decided on a slightly pensive look for Adam, from the Arizona State Fair concert. Hope you like it.

Enjoy the chat!

    Ultima, MJ’s recently had a thread where she asked peeps what other shows she should cover, cause as you mentioned she needs hits. During the discussion she express her contempt for Adam fans in not very subtle way..Sorry, but I’m not going to wet my pants each time one of her favs performs at Frog & Snail festival or in impressive 140 capacity venue and don’t feel like apologizing whenever Adam gets high visibility gig like Behind the Music, or THS…

  2. ultimathule says:

    lol – so true, Oksana – make a point of praising the boy whenever I get a chance – there’s a few others still there, too, who are manning the trenches. I actually enjoy it since it annoys certain people. Besides he is the finest singer today.

    I have Adam’s S8 performances, both with and without the judges, but it was great seeing that entire two-hour vid posted above (yes, I watched it). There’s no contestant who’s come close to his entire run on Idol. Never will in my estimation.

    “Frog & Snail festival” – cracked me up.

    Whew, the relatives have left, the kitchen is clean, and now I can relax and catch up at ALL. Now that I’ve caught up on the past week, I wanted to pass along some messages. I apologize for being terribly late on some of these, but here goes…

    rs and mils – I’ve been holding you in my heart and in my thoughts over the past week, and I’m so grateful that you and yours have stayed safe and that the cease fire is now holding.

    asif – I’m so sorry about your brother-in-law. May your family find healing and strength in your love for each other.

    JOJOSIE – many congratulations to your daughter for her invitation to the White House! You must be so proud of her!!

    TLKC and turquoisewaters – Happy Belated Birthdays to you both!

    catsaresmarter and soccermom – Welcome! So glad you’ve come out to play!

    little dutchess – welcome back! Glad to see you back in action here at ALL.

    eywflyer – thank you so much for everything you do behind the scenes to keep this wonderful site humming along. It’s moving at lightning speed now!

    Finally, happy belated Thanksgiving! I’m so grateful to Adam for bringing us all together. I’m grateful for the community we have created, and I’m grateful for the caring and fun and laughs and love for Adam that we share together. It’s a wonderfully joyous aspect of my life. Heart

    Just thought I’d drop this off to give you all a little boost, because I don’t think it’s possible to post (or look at) this picture too often.

    Does anyone know how to save a picture that’s posted on instagram?

  12. rs says:

    cwm, (waves, I can never find the smiley for that) I missed you! Glad your absense was due to seasonal RL and nothing more serious. Welcome back.

  13. rs says:

    haha cwm, while I was composing a post to you, you were back at your old job of bringing us Adam awesomeness. YAY! Clap

  14. AL says:

    cwm, with Firefox I right click on the photo then select “View Background Image”.
    http://distilleryimage5.s3.amazonaws.com/4363505233cc11e284c322000a1fbca9_7.jpg
    Once there, just right click again and select “Save Image As…”
    From IE , just right click and select “Save background as…” (IE Tab in Firefox is what I used)
    ETA or do as jlurksacto suggested below. Wink That way you can save a large version of the photo.

  15. HK fan says:

    oksana,
    mj’s response on that thread was to me, somebody had asked where all the Adam fans had gone, they;d also been looking at past numbers, I commented that many had left as they were fed up with having all their positive comments deleted while while all the crap could stay. She answered in her usual abrasive way, slamming Adams fans. I was going to reply about ‘it was that kind of attitude’ that made so many leave but didn’t. Probably should have….will next timeSmile
    cwm, that photo in the blue suit. wow, I’m on the ‘big’ computer for a change, I’d forgotten how vivid the colours are on here compared to the laptop…

    ultimathule
    …its been a very dreary afternoon in HK today, damp, rainy, chilly…yuck.

  16. jlurksacto says:

    I think you have to go to the person’s instagram site and then it is possible to
    “right click and save.” To save the picture in your post, go here

  17. cwm says:

    Awww rs, you’re bringing a tear to my eye. Thank you!!

    Yes, my absence for the past week was due to nothing more serious than having to be crazy busy at both work and at home. But I can feel myself relaxing a bit now, which always brings me back to Adam and my friends at ALL. Smile

    And AL and jlurksacto – Thank you so much for the instagram tips! It worked! I knew all I had to do was ask, and someone here would know the answer. You guys are awesome!

    I was particularly touched by this recent tweet from Adam:

    Adam Lambert ‏@adamlambert
    FYE came out three years ago today! Wow. Thank you all for your passion since then!! I love you!

    If someone had told me four years ago that I would be sacrificing sleep and productivity for three and a half years straight to cyber-follow a pop singer all over the globe and make friends with his fans all over the world, I’d have told them they were nuts. But now I know my life would not be nearly as rich without Adam and his music, as well as all of you. Heart

  18. TLKC says:

    Hi cgesq! Been thinking about you and am very glad to hear from you. Sorry to hear that you can’t make the True Colours concert. So near and yet so far.

    Adam will be taking his Trespassing Tour there in the summer and maybe a group of us can get together then. NYC is always a great place to visit.

    I have to agree with cwm. I would never have believed that I’d become this crazy for anyone, let alone a Pop star. NVM the travelling to multiple concerts, etc. My feelings for Adam grew into a feelings for a special community when I met all of you. On MJ’s, of all places.

  19. luval says:

    For a second I thought this was Adam.

    Brian London ‏@brianlondon

    Just one of them days “@TommyJoeRatliff: Loungin’ w/ @brianlondon http://instagr.am/p/ScxTsRrgp4/

  20. HK fan says:

    I would never have said that was Tommy in that photo, probably vegging out as the weather is so shitty in HK today!

    ot.
    Just watched the premier episode of Asias next Top Model….I know the HK contestant, she went to school with my daughter and they have just been flat mates for more than a year. Its weird but cool watching a tv show where you know someone…and she got best photo for the first weekSmile

    The NCOE’s video has gone past 11m views now….

    How does one access the sixty minutes interview tonight? Is it on TV? Thanks.

  24. luval says:

    I am not a fan of fanart. What is that thing supposed to be across his face?

  25. cwm says:

    ultimathule – here are the ustream link and world clock for tonight’s In 60 MuchMoreMusic interview. It’s broadcast in Canada but probably not in the US.

    @islandgirljams: My UStream for watching Adam on In60 – MuchMoreMusic tonight! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/islandgirljams … World Clock http://bit.ly/Qj89g9

  26. cwm says:

    Here is an adorable account of a fan encounter with Adam in his hotel lobby in Hong Kong. I can totally hear him say that friendly “Of course!” because that’s exactly what he said to me when I asked him for an autograph and a hug. He says it with such warmth and genuineness. In Love

  27. Kradamour says:

    The “glambulge weekly”????
    hahahahahahahaha
    ROTFL

  28. ultimathule says:

    Thanks, cwm – really looking forward to this particular interview.

  29. ultimathule says:

    See the “young drunkbert” pic at the very bottom of that fan encounter, cwm? Believe I’ve seen it before, but long time ago. Izzat a gal with the glass in her hand next to him?

  30. riskylady says:

    Haha, the Glambulge Weekly may have some competition soon. I listened to The Adam Lambert Hour yesterday, and they mentioned someone will be starting a new magazine for fans titled “Aura” – it will be for ALL fans, international, and will gather info from fans, etc.
    http://soundcloud.com/galechester16/liam-mcewans-adam-lambert-hour I am thinking it will be digital, but sounds like it might be good, depending who runs it. New Zealand certainly loves him!!
    Rumors are running rampant on Twitter – that Adam and others will collab with Gaga’s ARTPOP, suspicious source of course, that he and she will collab for Queenbert 2013 (please Universe NOOOOOOOOO! I can’t believe Brian and Roger would do that, I think her BS turned them off permanently) and others I haven’t found yet. LOL.

  31. luval says:

    I’m hoping that’s a fake rumor, riskylady.

  32. ultimathule says:

    In that full (almost) Arizona State Fair vid, during PTL (about 18:20) Adam goes into his mic routine. The vid flips to the front row of the audience and the gals are all screaming in happiness – and the cute guy with them holds his hands up to his face in alarm – it’s really funny.

  33. turquoisewaters says:

    luval: an earwarmer?? I have no idea, but I always go with the most benign interpretation I can come up with. Adam retweeted this fanart, that’s why I put it. It is clearly derived from the acoustic album cover.

  34. turquoisewaters says:

    ultimathule: that PTL scene is hilarious, and so telling. I played it a million times already.

  35. Ceddies says:

    luval says:

    I am not a fan of fanart. What is that thing supposed to be across his face?

    luval, I took it as some type of blindfold because of the title underneath “Now I believe in more than I can see”. But, I don’t know for sure what it is.

  36. luval says:

    I thought at first that thing across his face was a long chunk of hair that he was twiddling with his finger, but thanks turquoisewaters & ceddies for some suggestions! And yes I guess Adam liked it since he retweeted it.

    Love that PTL, ulti. Not sure if that guy in the front was with the SPG’s, although I don’t think so.

  37. mmm222 says:

    luval– That guy wasn’t with those SPG’s after the show, so I doubt he was with them. Watching the PTL video brings back some great memories from the Arizona show. That video catches the audience reaction but misses what they were reacting to. Thanks to goatiegarden for her wonderful video that captures the mic action in its full glory.

    @islandgirljams: My UStream for watching Adam on In60 – MuchMoreMusic tonight! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/islandgirljams … World Clock http://bit.ly/Qj89g9

    This works great for me. Thanks, cwm. And welcome back!!

  39. eywflyer says:

    Hopefully most internet service providers are directing traffic to the new site by this point. If you know anyone who is still stranded at the old site by Monday evening, have them email me at eywflyer@adamlambertlive.org and I’ll see if I can help them out. It turns out that there is a procedure I can step folks through to force their PC to look at a different nameserver than the default one assigned by their internet provider, which will allow them to access the new site.

    Hopefully by Monday afternoon almost everyone will be directed to the new site with no action needed.

    Glad the new site is faster for everyone!

  40. ultimathule says:

    Stream was pretty good. Had both my PC and Laptop on at same time – slight delay in timing between the two – interesting.

    Loved how he walked in and had to duck (speaking of the duck – lol). Good interview – hope that’s the last of the AMA/Beach/Finland brouhahas. Would have liked more of his pre-Idol life and discussion of the creation of Trespassing’s different tracks. How he feels when he performs them especially.

    But, overall, very nice.
    Will watch it again when the YT invariably pops up.

  41. Kradamour says:

    I agree, ulti, re the pre-Idol life. This might be the most he has ever talked about it, actually, in an interview. Not sure there was anything new, but it was packaged together into a cohesive picture. I enjoyed that part very much.

    A really good interview. I think it is interesting that Adam seems to step back and away from FYE more and more as time passes. Not that he is disowning it by any means, but clearly in retrospect there is a lot that he doesn’t think is part of who he is now.

    I really liked the point that he made that when he was growing up, marriage wasn’t an option that was on his radar and so to a certain extent it still isn’t. But that kids growing up now will grow up with the idea of marriage as a possibility from the get-go and it will be on their radar.

    I totally got that. When I was little, there were no women attorneys. It would never in a million years have occurred to me to go to law school; and I ended up there totally through serendipity, but I was born to study the law.
    (shakes head)

    Sigh. I love love love articulate well-spoken Adam.
    I could listen to him forever.
    In Love

  42. nkd says:

    The longer you’re away, the harder it is to jump back in.

    First of all, thank you eywflyer for all of the time and efforts put into this site. It is very much appreciated. The new server is speedy!

    I watched the stream of the interview. Loved it! I could listen to Adam talk for days.

    cgesq, it’s great to hear from you. Stay strong! Heart

    Belated Thanksgiving wishes.

  43. ultimathule says:

    Yes, Krad, it is interesting about his stepping back somewhat from FYE – he pretty much said he wanted then to show off his voice – this time, in TR era, it’s the song and what lies beneath that are important to him.

    Such a lovable man – and, as I’ve said many times, all we want is the world to love him the way we do. Seeing his warm reception in so many countries and the way different nationalities respond to him is very encouraging.

  44. milwlovesadam says:

    Just watched the stream of the 60 minutes. It seems like this was taped a long time ago. Before Queen. I’m too tired to do the research of when he was in Canada in the spring.

    It was very nice, he is so articulate and poised. But, I’m so sick of the Finland drunk questions and AMA’s. It’s just bloody time to get past it already. Adam handled it all really well though. He looked fabulous as usual.

    OT: Went and saw Argo today. Wow. What a movie. Strongly recommend it.

    nkd, nice to see you again! I have a question for you. How big is Larry Hagman’s passing down there? Talk about a cultural icon and Texan!

  45. ultimathule says:

    Good question, mils, when was this taped?

  46. ultimathule says:

    Lost the buttons again. Try a different browser.

  47. ultimathule says:

    Got the buttons with Chrome.

  48. riskylady says:

    That interview was taped back in May, when Adam did the Canada promo.

    From the Adam Events page:
    May 29: Canada. Interview with Matt Wells/In Sixty. [Source | Stay tuned for air date]

    http://adamlambertevents.wordpress.com/category/archives/5-2012/

    It’s very comprehensive, goes back to 2009 and they keep it meticulously up-to-date.

  49. turquoisewaters says:

    All I know is he was in Toronto at the end of May to sign Ron’s CD. They might have taped it right then.

  50. Kradamour says:

    But, I’m so sick of the Finland drunk questions and AMA’s.

    Yes, but I think this interview really gave Adam a chance to put those things into a much larger perspective, and I liked that. Bottom line, they happened, and Adam owns them, and learned from them. And he seemed very comfortable talking about the AMAs and how he dealt with it after, and ditto for the “drunk in Finland” issue.
    This was a really excellent interview (IMHO), really allowing Adam to express himself wholistically and reflectively. Our boy is a thinker.
    In Love

    G’nite, peeps. It’s been a great Thanksgiving weekend but my alarm will go off in 6 hours to get back into the race.
    Sweet Adam dreams!
    Heart
