Quick recap from Nashville..."hail, hail, the gang's all here" is what it felt like in Nashville. I like basketball--all sports really, but the SEC really clogged Nashville streets and hotels (As Bama mentioned in her recap). Fortunately, Babs12 won a Facebook contest, so our hotel was paid for! That's the good news. The bad news is we almost didn't make our meet and greet. Us to front desk, valet parker, and anyone else who would listen: we want to be sure to get to Ryman on time...Them: ok we suggest Uber...it was pouring raining at rush hour, so uber guy was stuck in traffic...after we waited for them for 20 min. Cabs all full until we spot one dropping someone off. We hop in and urge driver to get us to the Ryman by 6:15. It is now six and I thought for sure we were going to miss our once in 7 years chance for photo op with Adam. Traffic crawled..we had started out in plenty of time, but Babs and I quickly set up plan--I pay driver, and she with umbrella runs to "will call." We get within a half block of Ryman and Babs hot foots it around the building while I pay driver. I catch up and we just make the line for our group--radio winners with Jeremy who works for WB assembles us and states he will take two pics of us with Adam.
Ok, waiting in line for photo op. This is serious business. We are asked multiple times to get closer to the wall. This was difficult because we see Needacoke resting her feet on a bench and must give her a drive-buy hug, and then we see Just Karen and give her a fly by hi as she runs to merchandise table for a bargain Hatch poster, and then we see Bama and just Wishin who are in line in front of us, then Dancy runs by trying to get back to her place in line...you get the picture. The people around us are amazed. "Do you guys know everybody here?" We explain about Adamtopia, multiple concerts, concert buddies, community of fans, etc. people gape at us not believing how Adam brought us all together. Then we see barbaraindallas...and we missed PattiHume somehow.
So, we finally get just outside the room with Adam, and Babs heads in and this huge woman decides she is going to lose her balance, and grabs me for support. Not that I wasn't concerned for her, but gosh, I'm keeping Adam waiting, so Babs got to talk with him for a bit. Adam says, "How are we doing this?" as I stumble in to the room after disengaging myself from falling fan, and discreetly (not) say! "I'm coming, I'm here, " doing the fast walk over to him while Jeremy the photog just shakes his head as we had provided Jeremy with a few past concert stories when we weren't hugging fan/friends. Then it was over in literally a flash. I forgot to breathe so I didn't get to smell his cologne, and I was hoping he didn't get a whiff of my flop sweat from wrestling with falling fan. She was ok, I turned her over to nearby security.
Oh, yeah, the concert. It was magnificent. I loved Lucy (see what I did there?) and thought of you Adamrocks, and thought Rumors kind of broke the momentum for a minute. Lots of newbies around me -- Babs had bought VIP floor ticket, so she was down and I was up in balcony--great seat, too. Casual fans love Whataya..and Mad World. The Light got a lot of extra applause because the repetition makes it easy to sing along. Newbies were impressed with my Trespassing clap. Guys around me liked "Runnin" a lot and asked me what album it was from as they downloaded from iTunes on the spot.
Babs and I were feeling bad for Adam as he had over 100 people waiting for M&G. That's a full time job right there. We thought he might be smiled out, but such energy and joy he exudes from the stage--he just sparkles. Loved the lighting, and the four panels make it seem dramatically avantgarde. There were a few empty seats in the balcony about half way thru, but I think they went down to the floor area as more people kept showing up near the stage. The show is so polished, it could be a TV special. His band seems to love performing with him, and Holly and Terrence are superb. Adam has added a lot of more extended dance moves since the vids of the first concerts I saw.
Well, that was not a quick re-cap, was it? Thanks again for Babs12 for making it possible.

And from a previous Miami visit, we have this piece of gorgeousness. In the top of my all-time sexiest Adam photos.

I am not into TOH - unfortunately not one bit. It's the one song on the CD I always skip. I don't know why, I just don't feel it, and the falsetto doesn't make it better. So I feel kind of unsure about it being the next single. But I've been on boat ALN because I FLOVE this song, but this boat didn't sail far - which is a pity. From the other songs I really could see The Light or even better These Boys. These Boys shouts summer hit - but what the heck do I know about the music biz, right?!? Chosing the next single always seems to be like this...

I don't think it's possible for These Boys to be a single but that is my choice! I could so easily see singing along as it blasts from the radio!

And thank you Bamafan for your recap too! So glad Adam got your present...it sounds like a really unique and pretty necklace. Chapf what a cute gif for Bamafan's gift box!
