I gather the Taylor Swift sale was a fubar. I did get a message from a colleague that somehow she had secured tickets as a birthday present for a niece. She was communicating in a lot of expletives, so I gather that the experience was not cool - but although there was no reason for her to tell me the details, since it was unrelated to our jobs there it is.

Tainted Love is one of my guilty pleasures on the radio.
As my son would say, as he is a veteran of service abroad in wartime, Veteran's Day is for those who served and survived. Memorial Day is for those who have served and passed.
At 19, while a college freshman, he enlisted in Coast Guard Reserve. He chose to go into a deployable port security unit. He was called up as a sophomore to go to Kuwait, where the supplies for the rest of out military pass through, to secure the port.
He is still serving in the Reserve to protect the Port of New York.

I watched the stream. If I was there in person, my eyes would have been on Adam, but also on Polianabass. She's very theatrical.
I've lived through the '90s with my kids, so the covers were familiar to me. (Now, I kind of drew the line at my son's love of ska. I took then 16 year old son to London when his sister was doing a semester abroad there. He put up with what I wanted to do, but I had to put up with his visits to music stores to acquire ska cds.)

TV Channel 5 in the New York City area is now called Fox, but it's not the same as Fox News which is a different channel altogether. The Channel 5/Fox news programs are focused on local news, not national, or even political. Channel 5 sports broadcasts, while I'm sure are franchised, do not tie in to Fox News bias.
It was astounding to see Adam on a football ad, but it's not tied into any change over at Fox News.

The Witch Hunt shows look wonderful. Would that I could have gone, but we had splurged to visit my husband's sister who lives in Sweden and we combined it with taking her to QAL in Stockholm. Adam's announcement about the Vegas shows came when I was standing in her living room.
Thought about all possible ways that at least one date would work, but I'm in New Jersey. Air fare and limited vacation days left over after Sweden conspired against going.

I see that Fox/local station is at 11 am, and WWOR is at 5pm in my area.
I've heard that there will be a mixlr streamer tomorrow, but that is the only confirmed "helper" for all of the Witch Hunt dates.

I'm tortured with Adam fans posting pictures of their manicures, etc. in advance of the Witch Hunt Tour. I'm on the East Coast, and actually had to budget a lot for airfare to Sweden for the QAL concert in Stockholm combined with a visit with my sis=in=law. (Who we took to the concert.)
Adam - please schedule something in Northeast USA - Connecticut, New York, New Jersey - maybe even Massachusetts.

You know there's no way Adam can't read a vocal score for music. He would have been handed a vocal score since 2nd grade, not to mention all his vocal involvement in high school. Maybe he can't play it on a piano, and/or he can't transcribe what's in his head to a score. But, he can most certainly read a score and know where the pitches are.

Finally hit midnight tonight. It is wonderful. I think Adam has found his direction.
