Fountaindawg's collage of the best photos from Golfing For Inclusion. (aka GFI)
NB: the bottle of wine is being auctioned off (we all know that Clay does not drink) to raise money for Clay's foundation, the National Inclusion Project.
Thanks for the wallpaper, Fountaindawg!

February 1,
First two photos from GFI.
It's raining in FL and they were trying to decide what to do.
Ultimately most decided to play anyway
Thanks to Clayskater for the photos
She apologizes for the poor quality, but Clay was backlit and she was taking the
pix with her cellphone.
Hair report: short, natural colour!

Hot off the press...Mirasol Country Club, tonight
Clay sings to entertain the diners.
Twitterer said he sang a few songs from the 50s and sounded great.

This picture, grabbed by someone else (unknown) from the online NYT,
will be published in the hardcopy Sunday edition of the NYT tomorrow, Jan 31.
It shows Reed and Clay at a Broadway performance of a show called Fela!.
At no time did the paper identify anyone in the photo.

She has pointed out that this coming year marks the 8th year of the Claynation. Wow! Where has the time gone?
This wallpaper certainly reminds us of how far Clay has come and how far we have come with him--and with each other.
...and here is Fountaindawg's annual summary of Clay's year....Moments in Time, 2009 (many thanks for this graphic!)
One last Today's Photo for 2009....this is a Somalia photo that just surfaced.
It was used to illustrate Clay's essay on the
Huffington Post. Very nice photo.

Clay and Sam, in Germany, a couple of days ago.
Sam is said to be Reed's friend from Wicked.
Could Clay be recording in Germany? Seems likely.
(Decca, and Deutsche Grammophone add up to recording with a favoured orchestra...maybe...)

Inspired by Clay's purchase of new sunglasses (see below)
Fountaindawg was off and running and produced this collage for a new wallpaper.
She "decided" that his 2 new pairs of sunglasses are a clue to the theme of the next CD.....
It completely cracked me up!

Well, look who showed up in San Francisco, buying new shades!

Photos from the auction at the Champions for Change Gala, Oct 17/09
Clay hugs the bear before it's auctioned off.
Fugly jacket 1
~ He put it on to prove he could still get into it ~
Fugly jacket 2
~ he said that there isn't much left in his closet to auction off ~
~ and then auctioned off the surprise item of the night: a day long tour of Raleigh (including lunch), narrated by Clay,
driving his own car, winner of the auction as Clay's guest......for one person only.
It went for a HUGE price.
~ Thanks to Toni7babe for the timely photos!

Labour Day:
A fan tweeted this photo .... appears to be in Montreal (hey, he's only 5 hours away from me!)
Of course the above photo just demanded that it be enlarged and cropped.....
and of course (again) Fountaindawg had to put her own spin on it.....
(thanks for the fun!)

It's a virtual mantel of virtual JBT pix. Love it.

Clay sort of let us know this week that there would be news in 'a week or so' (right when I will be away on vacation, of course.)
The time frame -- would this be "soon" in Clay language? -- got Fountaindawg working creatively....
....and here is her 'take' on the problem. Thanks for the wallpaper, F'Dawgie!

Thanks to Fountaindawg for this new wallpaper! This report on the Atlanta dinner
was written by the auction winner and was used with permission by F'Dawgie.
The wallpaper was created for the clayaikenkids.com website, as are most of F'Dawgie's wallpapers.
Interesting to find out that the photo we had (see below) was indeed taken at the "auction dinner,"
and that the bf of the auction winner was also the previously-identified musician (who blogged.)
It all makes sense now!

May 28:
Here's Clay in Atlanta on May 27.
This guy posted the photo on Twitter, and its caption was:
"My girlfriend and I hung out with Clay Aiken last night."
Speculation was that this event was the dinner with Clay that was auctioned off for charity.
The other guy has subsequently been ID'd as a member of a rock band.
Nice photo!

Big night for Clay tonight at The Tavern on the Green in NYC....The Family Equality Council.
These are camera phone photos, emailed out.....a bit fuzzy, but who cares?
The last three came from BigAppleforClay (thank you!)
She tried to get a ticket for the event but it was 100% sold out.
This is the grey jacket with the velvet collar, in case anyone cares.
And no bow tie in sight.

Posted on Twitter (someone with a camera phone was on the ball....)
Diane Sawyer and Clay at the Peninsula Hotel in NYC-- today (April 14.)
And let's not forget that someone else Twittered yesterday that they were witnessing Tyra and Clay having lunch together.
Alas, that Twitterer did not have a camera phone.
Great that Clay is enjoying NYC and his friends. If business is involved, that would be even better!
Need I mention that there is no privacy anywhere anymore?

Screencaps by Gerwhisp from last night's episode of
America's Next Top Model.
Thanks to Gerwhisp for making her screencaps available to everyone.
Special thanks to Tyra for having him as a guest judge. It was fun!
That Paulina is one gorgeous gal. Ric Ocasek is one lucky guy.
You'd never know her elder son is 16 already.
Bet Clay never imagined 10 years ago that he'd be hanging with Paulina.
When Clay cracked up, I cracked up too. This show could turn into a 'guilty pleasure.'

No name attached to the photo, so thanks to whoever snapped this photo!
He sure is looking great these days.

Clay blogged a couple of nights ago and encouraged the fans to feel free to spread his message.
Therefore, it's not only OK to share this blog, he wants you to read it.
And this page seemed like the best place to post the blog.

While it may be tough to hear... I have not "friended" any of y'all on Facebook.
Thanks to a few good friends, I've discovered that someone is pretending to be me on there. BIG SHOCKER! And though, I normally ignore such BS, I've learned that this person (who obviously has too much time on their hands) is being inappropriately rude with some fans, and that pisses me off a bit! ;-)
While I do have a Facebook page, I have opted to keep it pretty private and really only use it rarely to keep in touch with my "Spam-Fam", my LA peeps, and a few longtime friends from home. Just wanted to make you aware... if you've "friended" me on Facebook, you've "friended" a wacko and a poser.
If you wanna stay friends with a wacko and a poser, feel free... but I know y'all have much higher standards! ;-)
Feel free to spread the word! :-)

Well, guess who showed up today with a purty graphic for the above:Fountaindawg, of course!
Thanks as always to our dependable contributor, F'Dawgie.

To celebrate the news that Clay and RCA have parted company, Fountaindawg
created this. Many thanks!

Thanks once again to Fountaindawg for her creativity and for sharing this with us.
In six years, Clay went from camping out for 48 hours to get an audition for AI2, to having his caricature hung on the wall at Sardi's.
You've come a long way, baby!

Here's their prized photo with Clay.
Please do not crop or post this photo at the OFC.

This was the scene at the stage door last night, May 3...the second last night of
Clay's stint in Spamalot. Those who were present said that it was just wild.
Viewers here who have been to Shubert Alley in the last 4 months will
be amazed at the sight of the crowd stretching right back to Junior's windows.
Yes, Clay came outside to see the crowd and sign a few autographs.
He was verra verra happy.
