daniela....Loved your recap....thanks so much! I think it's fine to tell Leila thanks for Adam. I've always been leary to approach her or Eber when I've been close by. The one time I could have said something to Eber was in front of the OAL merch in the balcony at the Apollo in London in 2012 when he was just standing there and nobody else was around...not even the merch seller. It was during Brian's solo time and I had run to the bathroom. He seemed to be taking it all in and I didn't want to interrupt his thoughts. Usually with Leila either she was talking with others or coming out of a bathroom stall. Just didn't feel like an opportune time. But had I been sitting behind her I think I might have just said something very similar to what you said.

Thanks wildarose! Maybe Adam has Photoshop on his laptop and worked on it there...then posted it over on Instagram. I was just wondering if you could do that within Instagram on your phone somehow. We only see him on his phone and not on his computer.. But I'm sure he packs a laptop. Seems you'd need to DL to your computer to work on it properly, then upload or send to your Instagram, etc. I'm afraid it would be too involved for me to handle with my really limited tech skills, plus be really time consuming. In a recent interview (radio?) he mentioned having used some app that more or less airbrushed the photo. I remember the photo he was talking about (his face looked kind of elongated?) a few weeks ago. There are lots of apps to use on an iPad.

First of all a big thank you to everybody who contributes to this site and makes this a wonderful place to read all news about Adam. I live in Portland Oregon and since no shows were scheduled in my area made the trip to LA. Left Friday from Portland and with one overnight stop we made it to LA in the afternoon. We got ready for the show in a McDonalds and went directly to the theatre. I was in orchestra row D, my daughter had a seat in row T but still very good view. I have never seen Adam so close. It was amazing from start to finish. My daughter had the guts to come closer to the stage and see him up close too. She loved it. She also saw Adam before. After the concert we saw Momtomany from our car and exchanged a few words. Next day we went to Iheart radio awards and then ran to the second LA concert. We again had orchestra seats row O central. I was in shock to see Adam's mom right in front of me. Around her were many of Adam's friends, Carmit, Scarlett Cherry and her husband. Second show was as amazing as the first one. Adam was at his absolute best both shows and he was sooo happy. You could feel the love between him and his fans. We adored him and he adored us back. I have no words to express how beautiful these concerts were. During the second LA concert I went two times up front to have a closer look and I am so happy for that even if the security people were watching us. They kept sending people back to their seats. At the end of the show I felt that I could not leave without telling Adam's mom a few words and I managed to tell her: Thank you for giving us Adam. Carmit was all Awwww...then we went to the hotel exhausted but happy. Next day we left LA and after 17 hours drive we were back home. We slept about 4 hours and then I left for work and my daughter for school. So happy for making this trip. I am still on a high, looking at the pictures and watching my videos. My heart is full.Love your recap...The journeys we take in fandom...pretty darn amazing...and we love doing it too! Misty eyed reading the part about having the courage to say those few words to Adam's mom. Carmit's expression of Awww was perfect and a wonderful memory for you. And for fandom! I have to join in with stampsgal here. Thank you for your recap and indeed misty eyes with the pink part!

I have a little set list on Spotify that I stream continually with WTTS, ALN, WTTS, TOH, WTTS, Rumors, WTTS. I personally like Rumors and TOH. I think I read somewhere before that you had to break the songs up so that the stream would count. I think I also read somewhere that the volume bar could not be turned to off for the stream to count. In any case, I keep it going continually as my laptop is always on. In the a.m. I check it to make sure the streams haven't stopped. They tend to stop after a certain amount of computer inactivity (not necessarily Spotify inactivity). If I still had a working stand alone computer I'd probably keep that streaming. Here's a question -- if I were to Shazam off of my Spotify set-list when it's playing, would those "hits" count? I think that they would. I'm not obsessed but sometimes I'm just sitting here talking on the phone (or whatever) and when I'm thinking about it I could Shazam. Yes those Shazam's count! Once per day shazamming is great!

is it weird i am already nervous for next week? I am sooo looking forward to seeing Adam in Amsterdam on stage. It feels like i can't do anything else than just wait for wednesday to come haha, this is not healthy mireille: just reading your message this afternoon made me feel all itchy again. My tummy went crazy again and I just couldn't concentrate. I think my co-workers are also starting to notice stuff, because I'm way more vocal about Adam these days than before and I also can't seem to shut up about the concert and everything around it. Got a cup of coffee at the end of the day because I was pretty tired but that one made me all hyper. Add to that some enthusiasm about Adam and work was impossible. Actually I think also some are beginning to wonder why I also took Thursday off from work. Wednesday is not completely normal already let alone Thursday as well.

I've heard about apps for snapchat...we've seen some of those..I guess you distort right on the spot. I've never snapchatted...just looked at Adam's and Terrance's my only two folks I follow on snapchat. Guess there are some for Instagram as well that you can DL or buy for your phone that add silly stuff or distort your face. Maybe there's an app that allows some airbrushing or photoshopping. Seems like something Adam might use rather than "working on" his photo on his computer. But he's artistic and has a "flair" and I'm sure all the latest and best apps and applications to "play with" both on his laptop and his new IPhone.

Seeing a lot of excited tweets from Dutch people about the concert next week! So wonderful!
Also this is happening: TOH album is on #64 in Dutch iTunes at the moment and GT has been around #170 for about 6 hours.
