5.9.12 Special 4 STAR EDITION!!!!

Okay, I never identified myself as such, but I was "holding out" on listening until yesterday. I seem to have a theory in life that the more emotional pain I inflict upon myself, the more I will
appreciate the outcome. Well, anyway I abandoned that theory and finally listened last night to the most beautiful music ever heard or pulled into one's being.

But that is not all I am doing. I went out and bought 3 remaining FYE Cds that I could find quickly at local store - added to the three I had left from my "Tell a Stranger They Are Beautiful" effort in 2010 and 2011, and am proceeding to give out to some new people this week with the hope they will purchase Trespassing. At least that is my hope and often my experience.

I also sent an email to all the friends/family that I gifted or introduced FYE to. I requested that they listen to the stream and buy Trespassing so we can get Adam to #1 next week. My wonderful men friends are texting me like crazy this morning - I sent them a note about Adam's 4 stars on RS and they are amazed!

I have other Adam strategies all over the place - I am a "plant the seed" person and I keep the garden watered, so to speak. All my kids, many of their friends, and my extended family do the same, both for Adam and for @1n10. And everything all of you on Adamtopia ask or suggest we do, I do that too. It always bears repeating, thanks to all of you for the amazing work you do to keep us collectively aware of how to make a difference on behalf of our Adam spirit.

I am a big risk-taker on all diversity related issues (some know my story), but I have done things where I did not breathe for a month afterward. "No pain, no gain theory" needs to be re-thought from time to time :-)

By the way, I do not let anyone off the hook when it comes to describing and living my love for Adam. I just have different strategies for different people.

Technology is amazing, I'm having a satellite internet connection now on a cruise ship ...... cannot see YT's but twitter and Atop works fine.

So, I've decided to buy more albums. Are we still thinking we want to boost the first week sales or should I be thinking about helping it to not drop too much after the first week?

The first week sales are the most critical. It's the first weeks sales that get all the press not the second or third. The first week will determine how he debuts on the charts. Pre-order now so it can hit for weeks sales or buy Tuesday from a major retailer. Also, don't forget that Texas Youth Group and 1n10. Both are looking for Trespassing. The Texas Youth Group still needs close to 500 copies of the regular version. You can find 1n10 on twitter at @1n10 they have been thanking Adam fans for pre-ordering CD's for them. They use the CD's for door prizes and incentives. Both are wonderful organizations and bothe have Glambert's who volunteer their time to help.
