Hey, guys, just wanted to check in real quick...our town was evacuated Thursday night...we ended up going to my brother-in-law parents' house. They've graciously opened up their home to us. Our town is ok for now, but it'll probably be at least a couple of weeks before we're able to go back home, God willing.
Hubby just set up my computer, so I'm checking in in case you guys missed me lol. I was following on my phone, but the internet up here is eating up my phone battery like crazy.

This sounds like the Velvet era is really over.

So sorry for everyone dealing with the fires. I can't even imagine. Hope things get better soon.
Also big thanks to pi.
I know the Grammy cut off date is August 31st. But would this live QAL album have been eligible in the rock category if released earlier? I know that Beyonce and some others released older albums live and they were in consideration for live album even after they won for the studio albums the year before. But not sure if QAL would have been. Probably not but just wondering.

Hubby just set up my computer, so I'm checking in in case you guys missed me lol. I was following on my phone, but the internet up here is eating up my phone battery like crazy. Having dealt with a forest fire that nearly took my home mid-June here in SW Colorado, I know all about the angst of evacuating, and not knowing if your home will be safe. So happy to hear that you have a safe place to stay. My kitty and I were holed up in a motel during our evacuation, but it worked out OK. Now I'm cleaning ash from my house daily, but ever so thankful that I have a house to clean! Thinking positive thoughts for you and others in your town, and all that are dealing with these fires. It has been such a horrendous fire season here in the western states. Oh, SO excited about the QAL release!! I've been hoping for so long that they would release an album/DVD/Blu-ray of their live performances, so this is a dream coming true. It's definitely a bright light during these dark times, and we all need something like this to look forward to. And also, thanks always to Pi for keeping us all up to date - especially meaningful for someone like me who doesn't "do" social media.

Hubby just set up my computer, so I'm checking in i n case you guys missed me lol. I was following on my phone, but the internet up here is eating up my phone battery like crazy. I love our members....and certainly wishing the courageous people can get some control over theses fires, to give you a home to return to. My sister is coming into town as there is a huge fire 70 miles from the mountain resort area they live in. Far enough away for now, but the smoke. Every year they fight that mental battle with weather. Years ago they had a young family stay over a few nights to be closer to the young dad who was co piloting a water bomber dropping water from his helicopter plane onto the fire. He perished crashing into the side of a mountain. These jobs are dangerous!

syca, So sorry to hear you had to evacuate your home due to the fires. We are all hoping your home will come through it intact and you can return.
lurleene, whenever you bring up the Grammys, you are always reading my mind. Seems like when it comes to the Grammys (and other awards) Adam's stars are never quite in the proper alignment. Even when his new music does well and gets good reviews and lots of streams, he just can't crack the Grammy code. I keep hoping it will happen sometime. Like you said, some other artists manage to squeeze an album in there kind of sideways just to be in consideration. There are huge artists and bands who have never won Grammys, at least in their heyday. I think Queen is one of them.
It would be so great if this new live QAL album was at least eligible for a Grammy nom for Best Live Album or something. Jeez.

Lifetime acheivement award . thinking of leonardo DiCaprio(sp.) who just go an oscar and he's great and then the Grammys are so tough.
