I wanted to share a great experience from last weekend, and to thank so many of you for your kind support. Last weekend, the growing group of volunteers to 1n10 (the nonprofit that supports LGBTQ youth) walked in the AIDS Walk. I've mentioned before that we have developed a team name Adam Lambert Inspired Volunteerism Everywhere (A.L.I.V.E.). We now have a large sign with the name of the team that was provided by the Walk organizers. After the Walk - our team name was mentioned from the main stage and all the 1n10 staff were so happy. They feel such a bond with Adam's fans now (and of course Adam). Also, since I volunteer on a couple of 1n10 fundraising committees, I can report that there is always a lot of "Adam fan love" to go around. I have thanked a few people on our site previously that acknowledged donating to the OUTDoors Camp held in Sept. Kado (the Camp Director) expressed how much the extra support meant to the kids, who flew in from all over the country for this very unique camp. One ATOP member I did not thank is wilkie who gifted 3 of Adam's peace pendants to the youth. The 1n10 committee will come up with a cool idea on how to award one of the pendants to the youth, and then possibly use the other pendants as auction items for the 2012 brunch. The goal is to get a bigger drop in center for the youth. So, thank you wilkie and everyone else for helping the goal move forward. Also, fans in other states are asking for info on how we got our team going and for some of the materials (which we are happily sharing). This Adam Inspired Volunteerism process is intended to "unfold". :-) Just one other quick thing we are doing this month - there is a large diversity conference being held on Oct 19 with large and small companies participating. 1n10 will have a booth and will be giving out some of the remaining FYE CDs for prizes. So, Adam's CD will be announced each time some one wins that particular door prize throughout the day. To me, the joy in life is connecting wonderful people in the universe in a variety of ways. Anyway, bottom line is that you are loved by a group of staff and young people that you may never meet, but they love and appreciate all of you nonetheless! Thank you for sharing your experience gracefuladam |

Hmmmm..... what is so very disturbing about the 'taste' tweet is what the Adommy crays have deluded themselves into believing they mean. Which of course is ADOMMY LIVES and is REAL! See, take that the rest of the fandom - we knew it was real all along. Their cray has just been justified (pukes) They have even gone to the urban dictionary to get the *wink, wink* REAL definition of salad dressing. Go there with a #warning if you must, but I don't recommend it. Who the fuck are these people??? They really disturb me :-/ >:( I noticed it too. They are also saying that Sauli moved back to Finland :  Adam knows the Adommy situation and I wonder if he's joking or something by tweeting that way. Sauli's BFF is staying in LA at least over the next weekend according to her FB. |

The "taste tweet" shows how easy it is to get the wrong impression about something. I *was* going to say something so harmless, but Catz's post showed how the crays can pick up and run with anything.

I wonder what Adam, or any celeb really, must think when they walk out of a grocery store and there is pap standing there with big cameras....walk tall...don't stumble.....don't drop your keys.....  Judging by his eyes and his mouth, I have a feeling I know exactly what Adam is thinking and it isn't "Don't drop the keys!!!" ;D I wonder how we got all these WF pics: seems like this one person tweeted that Adam was at the WF, which got the papz "dispatched" to the said WF, the papz got there in time to catch Adam leaving the place and -voilà! - we have the pics! Is this what you think happened? |

It's a Whole Foods that is frequented by celebs. I would bet that there are paps around and maybe Friday is shopping day. Or, maybe they followed that tweet. There are also several Coffee Beans that paps hangout at.

It is always wonderful to hear about selfless acts of giving being done in this world. The fact that Adam has inspired so many to share in their own ways makes this post even sweeter still.  |

mys*&@^#r50 I think a cucumber martini sounds delish and refreshing in all honesty and I read the tweets between Adam and Tommy the way they were meant ie: a bit of verbal fun the day after. I just lolled. But what the 'cray' have interpreted them as is just downright skeery  These people are pyschopathic and delusional. Does anyone know if Sauli was at the BD party? cos if he wasn't, then the crays are taking that as a confirmation sign of Adommy #realness as well : : : Geez.... need new music NOW Adam!  And I agree with those that have posted that a REAL single and album name right now might indeed help and do some early damage control. On the fuckery - or non fuckery - by Monte, well I have no opinion until more information surfaces. Will just let it play out in it's own good time.

Is this what you think happened? Nah, JJ tweeted about another celeb couple at Whole Foods in Hollywood a few hrs before Adam......It's prob one of many pap hang out/drive by spots in LA...after all as Pop goes the Camera says "Stars are just like us" justjared.buzznet.com/2011/10/07/megan-fox-brian-austin-green-whole-foodies/ |
