I spent a few minutes of my morning having a skype chat with Monte Pittman.(Incentive for his Kickstarter Project.) He was so ...very ...very cool and easy to chat with; and even though I thanked him, wished him well, and said our time was up, he/we went a roll for another 12 minutes...which was very generous of him. (Same qualities he and the band displayed at River Rock). Atopers were asking for any news or updates regarding the upcoming concerts. As of this morning..nothing monumental ...but at least an up-date: I refrained from asking anything about Adam as I wanted to make it about him and his new music etc.... until he brought up his exciting news about the concert in Moscow. And I added... “and the new concert in Quebec”. What?? ...he did not know about that one! Right away he tried to find it on Adam's site to check it out...couldn’t find it fast enough, so we continued our chat. He shook his head, laughed and said he will add July 29th to his calendar. The rest of Monte’s conversation on this topic, makes one realize that he/the band are session performers...as he knew nothing of the Quebec concert. I would have thought Adam would have asked the band about their availability and checked to make sure he had a band to perform with him...but... I guess not!I asked 2 questions about the Moscow concert: Monte thinks Moscow will be Jingleball style, not GNT style, and he said he said that everyone in the band will be there. They have not worked out details yet. (Surprised him that I knew the dates of when others finished concerts or tours...so I was hopeful they would be available). How cool! Thanks for sharing all the details. And it was very sweet of you to hold back on questions regarding Adam's hair/boyfriend/toothpaste/toes ect.. ;D It must have been very difficult. |

Adam's DM today: kinda makes me a bit sad. ??? What's this about... ??? A girl tweeted to Adam this: Glam_Nails: I said if he has the same power like lady gaga he could make so amazing videos And she said that Adam DM'd her : Adam's DM 2 her ~ Glam_Nails: he said he doesn't got the money because he is not so successful like Lady GaGa Anyway I think that Adam just stated the facts to this girl, nothing more. Lady Gaga is an exception not the rule. Q3 said this a million times. |

I'm so sorry Lynneville. They are family and will always be sorely missed. You did the right thing.

I would have thought Adam would have asked the band about their availability and checked to make sure he had a band to perform with him...but... I guess not! They are definitely independent contractors. This is something I realized right in the beginning. I could never understand why people thought the band should have a name when they are not a band but a group of independents. Oh I realized they are independent...and of course it is too expensive to keep a band intact for an artist like Adam. But it is still interesting to me that Adam and company/management would agree to do a concert without sorting out a few details. ..like is anyone free at that time to play for me? ...'cause I would like to have you there as you have played for me in the past and it would make it easier than hiring all new people. Monte said that even with Tommy, Warren and zander they are not all avilable to play with him in the summer time when he has gigs lined up, as they have their own things going on as well. Maybe I have a little too much A personality in me. haha |

tinyurl.com/6bmmzlmLOL & OMG. This is Helsingin Sanomat, our biggest & most prestigious daily newspaper. It's a story in their monthly supplement about Swedish and Finnish marriages/relationships with famous foreigners - with conclusion that the Swedish (women) beat the Finnish ones in that field easily by numbers. Some names listed for the Swedish and some for the Finnish marriages/relationships. Of the Finnish, Sauli is named to be having the best one at the moment being the boyfriend of Adam Lambert. And the only picture of the story is Adam & Sauli.

him telling that woman that he was not as successful and didn't have as much money to make vids like gaga seems so wistful. It's the truth!! The only people as successful as Gaga these days are Beiber and Taylor Swift! |

I don't know if I should be joyous beyond belief at this or depressed because this has been a tough day. And interview of Sauli in 2008: Do you believe in love at first sight? - I do. It would be the sweetest thing in the world to just walk down the street and come across the sweetest person in the world. Our eyes would just meet, and we'd continue together. Not much words needed. Sauli - Miss Mix magazine 1/2008 Awwwww!  This sounds so prophetic...they were just walking down the street, Adam is the sweetest person in the world, their eye probably met  and not many words were needed because Adam's hands were covering Sauli's ears.  I'll second your awww....  |
