I do not expect Adam to take a break for 6 weeks -- so I imagine he will be doing something that we do not know about. But I would be really surprised if he was working on a new single or starting work on his new album. After almost 4 years of following Adam, I have learned to accept the Adam concept of time... "soon" = sometime in the future but no date yet. "ish" = there is a tentative date but it could change. "Adam performs at 9:00PM" = he will actually start at 9:42PM (because he is backstage doing press and/or M&Gs) ** I really wish Adam would perform TFMs. I honestly believe that song would have been a hit IF it had been promoted and performed. At the time it was dubbed in the US/Canada/UK by critics as dated but since then we have had a few retro songs become hits. And the US/Canada/UK really do not represent musical taste. It is truly one of my fav Adam songs. I've been hoping that Adam might be asked to perfomr at one of the inaugural galas or concerts. :-)

Just came back over here to remind myself to breathe. I live in AZ and while I do believe we will be "blue" within 10 years, it is misery here now. When you canvass in your own neighborhood, they slam the door in your face. I do phone calls from the Obama campaign site from my home phone, and have had people return calls using the "f" word in every possible way.
The calm I mentioned last night has lifted and anxiety in all its many forms has returned. But then I remember that in Oct 2006, 14 of my wonderful family and friends attended then Senator Barack Obama's book signing at a packed theater. We were all shocked that so many of us existed in AZ!
When I looked into President Obama's eyes and shook his hand, I realized that I was also looking into his soul. He is the most beautiful and decent man, and his spirit just shined for all to see. He signed every book, communicated with each of us...and for every young person he made a special and personal inscription.
Just like my love for Adam, my love for President Obama is palpable. If only we are blessed with another four years, it will mean so much to this country. People may actually have to get over their fears and recognize the doors he is opening for so many, just by being himself. I see so much in life as a grieving process...people wanting what felt safe and comfortable for them. It helps me stay somewhat compassionate - though I have a horrible habit of yelling loudly at the TV in a not very nice way to certain people. :-)
Off to the races - I mostly took the day off work, and am wearing my Adam tee shirt with some Obama buttons as I go about the rounds and try to breathe.
Love to all!

For some reason a calm has descended over me tonight. I have not been breathing for weeks, but now just feel a sense of peace. I decided to have faith that this country will do the right thing. Chris Rock is giving us an opportunity to laugh a little so here goes www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDxOSjgl5Z4

He was great! Our 25 youth who attended enjoyed both the rides, food, and games of the fair, in addition to their great seats at the show. This evening at the fair was made possible through donations by the Adamtopia fan club. Thank you all for being so generous and allowing our youth to enjoy this AZ tradition! onenten.org/2012/10/25/youth-enjoy-state-fair-and-adam-lambert-concert/#.UImK3F6GZrk.twitterThank you for posting, stardust!

Hi to all who are attending Adam's concert at the AZ State Fair. Please go to the Members only Thread under the topic of AZ State Fair if you are interested in meeting before the concert (around 4:00 or so). We need to confirm with the Chef by Tuesday for the place we are considering and space is limited.
Please direct message me if you need more information. Also thanks to babs12 and grandduchess for mentoring me on setting this up :-)

"First and foremost, I have learned that Adam fans are some of the most creative, caring and interesting women and men I have ever met." Q3 - September 23, 2012
And to confirm Q3's insight, fans of Adam - Adamtopians extraordinaire - have cared so much that 35 reserved seats for Adam's concert at the AZ State Fair have been purchased for the 1n10 youth. The youth will be able to sit in close proximity...and there are enough donations to cover fair admission and light rail / bus transportation. Some of the awesome staff will accompany the youth as well.
Thank you to those who made this possible, and to everyone who took an interest by sending ideas or good thoughts. We cannot measure how much this will mean to the youth, or the impact it will have in their lives. However, it seems to me that the wonder of Adam and his music, along with the love and kindness woven into this by all of you. will create a wonderful experience and happy memories. And that means a lot :-)
In the words of 1n10 staff "This is amazing....what an outpouring of support from Adam Lambert’s fans".
There are a couple of ideas floating about (such as a tour of 1n10 for those in town) - will provide updates soon.

Hi everyone...I spoke with Molly at one n ten (1n10) and Adamtopians have contributed amazingly to treat the youth to Adam's concert at the AZ State Fair.
We should have enough for at least 30 youth and some staff to accompany, including the incidentals of light rail tickets and any other fees to get the youth in the door. The State Fair is working with 1n10 on Monday to purchase small blocks of seats. They promised there will be good seats on that day (even though sales start Saturday). I am planning to head there on Saturday also to see if we can "get ahead of the game" somehow.
Thank you all so so much. I will keep updating you.
Also, I had no luck on the pre-sale - what did I do wrong? :-)

Just a quick update: Molly at 1n10 will be back mid-week from OUTDoors! Camp and then I will find out how many tickets for the youth we can purchase for Adam's concert at the AZ State Fair. I suspect quite a bunch as you guys are amazing in your generosity - whether with ideas, thoughts or actual ticket donations. Love to all!
Also, I wanted to mention my daughter's recent wedding and how beautiful it was. She and Michael have been together for 9 years - every detail of their wedding and vows was so inspiring. The Adam connection, of course, is that they included three Trespassing songs in their wedding song list - Broken English, Cuckoo, and Never Close Our Eyes.
When Cuckoo started to be played, the whole dance floor erupted with excitement. What was so fun was how sooo many of the wedding guests (who came from places far and wide) knew the song. My family, of course, gifts Adam's music for every possible reason. I previously mentioned that everyone at the bachelorette party was gifted a copy of Trespassing, and it was "the gift" for wedding shower prizes. In any case, everyone seemed to know the song - enthusiastic singing and dancing to it. So much fun!
One thing I have never seen at a wedding was that they played, and basically everyone acted out, Bohemian Rhapsody. It was really something to behold...and of course inspired Adam thoughts also :-)
One last thought - I was so grateful for the principles of inclusion that the bride and groom wove throughout their wedding. In their vows they spoke of people who have beautiful love stories but are not acknowledged for their love. Then they spoke of their heartfelt wish for marriage equality. Many people later told me they had never heard this expressed so lovingly in such a formal, intimate setting.
The wedding was in Seattle's SoDo Park area (amazing venue and close to where Adam performed in downtown Seattle in 2010). Instead of little wedding "take aways", each guest received a "token of appreciation" where they could select a Seattle food bank, a performing arts non=profit, or 1n10. Based on their selection, the bride and groom are making a donation in each guests' honor to the non=profits.
It was inspiring and the added fun was that Adam's name came up many times throughout the evening. Thanks for listening! :-)
