Good memories: the time we saw that spiked jacket for the first time, I was there... Amsterdam, the 538 radio event. And if all goes well (help me hope!) I will see it again next week! And the man that wears it too Cologne, here I come!! Yes! Loved that day and the complete weekend! Such good memories! Are you still feeling a bit ill Nic? Cologne is in 4 days already!!!!! Squee!! Got my hotel booked, now thinking about what to wear in partly sunny Cologne on Friday! I am still not completely well, but getting there. Hoping for doctor's approval for my little trip tomorrow. Let's make some more memories!

Today I tried to vote again for the Country Music Awards and this time instead of just doing nothing the website told me politely that I needed to verify my email I did and voted without any problems. So to everyone who didn't vote yet and wants to: Go Vote! It's easy now. www.cmt.com/cmt-music-awards/vote/cmt-performance-of-the-year.jhtml#

I am not going to Bruce Springsteen's show in the Netherlands, because I will go to see Adam sing with Queen. Now that's a link for you. :-)

One of campier outfits they ever wore. Who knows, maybe they will all be glammier, like Adam. What if Brian pulled something out of his closet for Adam to wear, that would be daring. Or Brett might find inspiration from something old and find a similar new outfit for him. Oooooh yess, I could totally see Adam in one of these. Preferably Freddie's

I just realized that half of my post I just wrote is missing, because I was so busy writing about the things that irritate me I forgot the many things I love. (I don't think many are going to read this, since this thread is yesterday's news, but still) - I love the company of other Adam fans, such great people! - I am in absolute awe of the generosity of many in the fandom (giving away posters with autographs, sharing blankets in the queue, gifting M&Gs, contributing for people who otherwise couldn't go to a show, sharing VIP merchandise) - So many creative people, sharing their art. Drawings, pictures, edits, stories, putting their feelings and ideas out there - Absolutely amazed at the organization skills in the fandom and time everyone puts in it (keeping Atop up and running, finding and helping streamers, making lists of vids, concert schedules) Many many things to be happy about!

June is hilarious! But she won't stay. She's a snapchat filter. Those are special effects that you can put on your face while using snapchat. They tend to change pretty quickly, some are only available for a day.
And re: the current discussion on ageism, I just want to say that I just really dislike entitled fans, who think they have more right to something (Adam's attention, front row, a picture) than other people. Those can be young, old, male, female, whatever. I vividly remember the 40-something couple who inserted themselves at the front of the queue 15 minutes before doors opened in Copenhagen, while there were loads of others that had waited since 9 am for a good spot. I also remember the teens who pushed and pushed in Hamburg and finally caused me to be behind yet another tall person when the show started.
I was astonished to see the same elderly ladies routinely doing M&Gs at every show. I don't know what Adam thinks about that, I can guess. But they are the ones that have the money, so yeah, logical that they buy the M&Gs. If you don't want that as an artist, be a bit more creative in you VIP options and make some group packages that are cheaper but of which you can sell more.
The thing that irritates me like nothing else is the people who want to mother Adam. And those remarks aren't even directed at me. He should do this, or that, change his appearance, sing something else, change his management, stop promoting other people, why the Botox (this was a remark on the 'face swap' instagram). He is his own person, and nope, he is not perfect. He sometimes comes pretty close, but he is human. And he has to do what he wants and neds to do. He needs the freedom to express himself, to surprise the world, to make mistakes, to make us feel. Much of that freedom has been taken away already because of the level of fame that he has and that he wants and the opinions people form about him because of that. It is mostly inevitable, and a result of his own choices, but I am really fascinated to see unfiltered Adam peek through every once in a while. And I hope we will keep on getting that, even when it means that he might seem a little less perfect.
Just to be sure: this is not directed at a particular person or post, just my general thoughts after skimming through the thread.

Lololol Have been skipping through some reporting about the LGBT awards and it's all - pretty woman arrives - hey a picture with Adam - Adam Lambert is so sexy - random picture of the room - I just saw Adam Lambert!!! - cute guy dressed up tweeting out that he is on his way to the awards - hey, more pictures of Adam - have you seen Adam Lambert??! He is here tonight! Also that livestream... Looking for Adam, panning the room, ah, there is Brian May (yadayada yawn). Let's just ignore him, because next to him should be Adam! Lambert!
