Maybe a silly question, but would 1in10 or the Texas group be able to use gifted downloads from itunes of Trespassing in their programs? Not a silly question. I was wondering the same thing Hi, I will check on this but probably no answer available till Monday. Thanks for asking!

MY Box Sex Set has arrived. It is like a religious experience. I cannot bring myself to open it so have gone to AO and ordered another one that I can open and fondle and frame pictures, and play the vinyl. Oh Yeah! It will count for this weeks sales and I already have a deluxe CD that I can enjoy in the meantime. Yay and my sex box :-) arrived today. I have received 21 CDs so far in my mail (was guessing I ordered around 12 and then I looked at my credit card bill online - eek!) Yesterday my sister was having an anxiety attack because I sent her 4 deluxe (one for her, one for her hairdresser, two for Sister Soldier Project). She is going to hyperventilate when she sees she also has the sex box in her mail today or tomorrow.

Don't forget to send some CD's off the week to the kids at 1n10 and the teens at Texas Youth. Both now have Amazon wish lists and both wish for many copies of Trespassing. They use them for grab bags, door prizes and incentatives for teens. Both have Glamberts who volunteer their time to help out. Thank you so much for the reminder, its karma. Here is the link (from Texas) that makes our heart sing (along with all of our Adam euphoria) . These are the CDs that arrived there today. twitter.com/#!/RadarEcho/status/202903332187148288/photo/1 I just spoke with the staff at 1n10 and they received about 20 CD's today - the person I spoke with had tears in their voice. You know, we could work on doing this for every youth in the world...just sayin'.

Just returned from my Adam pilgrimage - could only walk to one place since it is 100 degrees so had to drive to the others. :-) Bought beautiful, wonderful Trespassing at each place for my 1n10 youth "Adam CD stack".
For Ahwatukee and south Tempe around Elliott: None at Barnes and Nobles - the salesperson looked it up and said most other Barnes and Nobles have the physical copy
Lots of both regular and deluxe at Target, BestBuy and Walmart, but definitely some are being bought this morning :-)
Love to all! Thanks for all you do for us on this site.

Here is what I am doing on May 15 - it is a repeat of what I did on the day For Your Entertainment was available in stores. First, I am taking the day off work. I am walking to every store within a 2 mile radius and purchasing one Trespassing CD at each place that I find one. Then I am going to drop all the CDs off for the 1n10 youth, along with those pre-ordered by mail for the youth. It is a pilgrimage of sorts for Adam. However, last time it took place in November. This time it is May and the weather will be about 100 degrees. :-) p.s. the address for 1n10 onenten.org/ is in the gifting thread or send me a DM and I will provide. :-) Love to all!

Just go on here, haven't read the whole thread but just saw Adam's tweet, is this for real?? cause earlier this morning, someone pointed out the RIAA still had FYE as gold cert. I don't want to flail premature, but if it's true, OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! please? anyone? Guess everyone passes me by...oh, well.. ![:'(](http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Adam%20Smilys/Other%20Smileys/happytears-2.gif) Hi, maddie509 did you get your answer to this?

My friend RadarEcho is supporting Youth Texas First and they had the wonderful idea of the amazon wish list. (yay for great ideas) RadarEcho came to the Phoenix one n ten Brunch this year (used to be spelled 1n10). So many wonderful Adam fans have contributed to the now famous Adam Fan basket (including some from Adamtopia) for the silent auction that occurs at the yearly Brunch. I estimate that Adam Fans have contributed well over $10K to 1n10 through participation in the Brunch, gifting CDs, silent auction donations, donations to the Adam Fan Basket, donations to Outdoors! Camp, and regular $$ donations. As a result of 1n10's increasing visibility (recently 1n10 was featured on CNN) the youth now have a 2600+ sq ft drop in center (just moved from a 900 sq ft old home with barely any air conditioning in over 100 degree heat.) Many of the youth are homeless - they ride the light rail or bus at night until service stops, so the center is a place for a meal and now a shower during the day. I repeat some of this since we have so many new members at Adamtopia. All I can say - "all things Adam" are woven through so much of the spirit of what we (volunteers) are doing to support the one n ten LGBTQ youth for over three years now. Here is a way of introducing Adam's community to Adam. :-) We used the FYE CDs on the tables at the 2011 Brunch. There were tons of people from the Gay community at the brunch who know (or knew) nothing about Adam. So, little by little, wonderful things are happening for the youth and many many seeds are being planted for Adam. I have received Madonna CDS from my friends/colleagues at 1n10 in exchange for the Adam CDs I give to them :-) We are making this fun! (of course, there are serious discussions too) My love and devotion to Adam has been multiplied many many times over by my devotion to the youth. All is connected. RadarEcho said 1n10 better use the Amazon wish list if we want to get any Trespassing CDs for the 1n10 kids and I agree with her (smile). That's really fantastic and interesting to hear the inception of gifting the CDs.. so the CDs don't go to the kids directly, but are used for fundraising purposes? It just occurred to me that if you give them to the kids, how would they listen to a CD without something to play it in? :-/ Let me clarify (glad you asked!) For FYE, there were over 500 CDs that went to the @1n10 youth from Adam's fans. We decided to use 100 of the gifted CDs at the brunch, since it was a whole new audience of people who would appreciate Adam. Since then, I hear so much about Adam from those who took home a CD. (many were gay men). The CDs go to the 1n10 youth first and then the overflow used for other purposes such as the fundraising brunch and the Adam Fan Basket. We also sent some to AIDS related organization. Many youth are homeless but hundreds of others come to @1n10 for friendship and services that are provided. So many more have access to CD players etc. It is the same for YTF, as I understand it. I volunteer for last three years at 1n10 - we have a small team of Adam fans and we march with the kids at Gay Pride, AIDS march, make cookies for holiday - they are the most resilient and awesome kids. And, they love Adam!
