Yes, she is the Glambert. I honestly do not know when or who started the concept that Adam's Fans were "all" older women, but people like Ryan Seacrest and radio folks, helped perpetuate the concept. Some can help more with this concept. I think that it initially may genuinely have started with non teenaged women visibly showing support. When you think of the demographics of who attended those first concerts, GNT, or who would buy tickets for TV events, or show up to radio station events....it was women who perhaps had the time and money to support and travel to support Adam. He has always had a broad age range of fans. Jokes were often made when pictures of young fans were screaming their appreciation and enjoying their Adam fanning....that yah... ....they sure are old Eh! As a fan, I relished the youthful fanning, knowing that is an important demographic to have on Adam's side. In eastern Canada, I would say Adam has great support from the younger demographic. I think the same applies to Asian countries. This is based strictly on the videos and pictures I see. With Adam starting out in mid size or casino buildongs, there was an age restriction! As well for some concerts, so that again brought in the late 20 plus types. The goal is broad appeal ...old or young Glamberts...the important thing is the passion for the artist. Adam continues to grow his popularity, and the more popular, the more fans, the larger venues, the more diverse the demographics. I get what you're saying, but from here to thinking that a random older woman in a TV series is symbolizing a Glambert is a long way. Almost no one is aware of this stigma except for Adam's fans. BTW, I remember seeing in E! an interview with Zak Efron where they asked him about his older women fan base. Mind you, they didn't ask that in a degrading way, they were just interested in the phenomenon. The "older fan" concert originated on a site the is now gone -- "VoteForTheWorst.com" and was perpetuated by fans who supported not-Adam during AI* in 2009. VRTW also invented the hideous term "GlitterCows". I have seen Adam perform across the US and Canada (and other countries), and he has diverse fans everywhere -- and many young fans in the US.

OH! No! What an all around nightmare for your family! Hope your DD will.... DD's young, should be fine. I think she feels worse about not making it to work! She tutors and is prepping her students for ACTs. DD can help through emails, but that's kind of hard for math. 4Ms, have her go to www.zoom.us/ . It's absolutely free and much easier to use than google hangouts. They can use their phones or tablets or computers so they could show her their paperwork. She can be up and running in less than 5 minutes. I've thought about having some Atopian meetups with it, it's fun.

Well, see here we've had 114 inches of snow in less than a month with lows as bad as -15 F and windchills in the -40s. We had to hire a guy with a bulldozer just to pile the snow high enough that the regular plow guy can get through to keep one tiny lane open in our driveway. We've run out of firewood six weeks early, the mail isn't even getting delivered half the time, and my dogs can now walk over the top of my five foot fence to freedom unless I keep digging out a three foot moat In front of it because the snow is that high. I have dug that moat four times. It's an acre of fence. Throws snowplow at you... Amen, fellow Mainer. You might be farther down east than I am. It's snowing again now. We'll be going to school in July. I think of you guys daily, no kidding. It's a mantra here where I live. As cold as it has been and as the ice and snow has lingered, I hear people everywhere exclaiming "at least we don't live up in New England". I don't know how you guys have maintained your sanity but I give you all the credit in the world for your perseverance.

I sure wish we could find the vid of him calling out the guy who hates his guts. I checked back in the concert thread but still nary a thing. I'm sure there are more, I made a notation on this vid so I could find it again. Found my original post!Adam looks around at the audience. Adam: You know what? You guys are a great fucking audience! I mean, I gotta say we're almost at the end of this tour. We've had amazing audiences, but you guys are like... I think, I think you're are drunker than I am. (Laughs) ADAM: WHO'S DRINKING? Brian: WHO'S ASKING? Brian: Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the new guy here? APPLAUSE! CHEERS! Brian: Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Adam Lambert! Adam: Thanks guys! Thank you! I appreciate that! You know that one guy over there that hates my fucking guts? I love you, too. I see you! Smile. You can hear, but you only see fuzz: Queen at the echo arena a crazy love! by cooper men www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyVtDVrrTIEigcdn-videos-d-14-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t50.2886-16/11022234_1455448934695754_1150654537_n.mp4Thanks maitospf and 4Ms for finding those, I was beginning to think it was like a mirage. A truly "you had to be there" moment. You can kind of see Adam afterwards in the first vid on the side screen. The 2nd vid only goes thru the "you are drunker than me part".

He needs to be in the movies........a comedy! Swooning away in ecstasy....I am still bursting into chuckles. I think that just might be one of my favorite Adam gems.
