Aiken Fans on Decade Countdown


New Year graphic by AmazingCA ushers in a season that holds much promise for Clay Aiken, his new label, and his fans.

Fans Celebrate Decca Decade

Clay Nation Greets New Year

As the hours and minutes of 2009 wind down, Clay Aiken fans are at once in a retrospective mode, as well as greatly anticipating the singer's new label and a new 10 years already tagged the Decca Decade!

New Year's Eve gatherings are planned throughout the many niches of Clay Cyberspace. Some are elaborate with "engraved" invitites, while others will consist of informal gatherings. All will include sharing favorite music, photos, and performances by Singer Man.

A New Year Celebration is scheduled for 9 p.m. EST Thursday in the public thread at Chexxxy's Place, and all fans are welcome. As the invitation states, a 2003-09 rewind of Clay's albums, songs, interviews, TV/radio appearances is planned.

Participants should be prepared to share photos, blends, montages, and videos from the past six years. An example of this New Year's Eve shindig can be viewed in SueReu's montage Clay Aiken - A Retrospective - Part 1, The Music in the player below.

This is just the beginning, as she is preparing three more segments and plans to premiere the second, Clay Aiken - A Retrospective - Part 2, TV Appearances, at the New Year's gathering. To download Retrospective Part 1, here is the Sendspace link.

Clay Cyberspace will be hopping on New Year's Eve. I hope to add information about other site parties planned for members and non-members, so do check back.

Still celebrating Clay's debut blog from Wednesday's Huffington Post, CA fandom sleuths have noted that the UNICEF Ambassador's initial post -- Progress in Somalia Despite Difficult Circumstances -- still leads the Impact section and is listed under various headings, including "Don't Miss HuffPost Bloggers."

Clay's blog about Somalia is also posted at the UNICEF Fieldnotes site.

Below are clickables by Cotton and AmazingCA celebrating the season, the end of one era and the bright beginning of another:



Wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year!

Caro, thank you for adding the montage retrospective of Clay Aiken. It is wonderful.

SueReu said...

Thanks for adding my video Caro!! It was fun to make, going through all those Clay Aiken memories (although it's REALLY TOUGH to limit it to just 10 minutes)

I'll be at the Chexxxy's Place NYE celebration - cannot WAIT!!!

I'll be sure to drop by Chexxxy's for the NYE celebration. It will be good to chat with old friends, and to see the debut of SueReu's next installment.

Thanks for all of 2009's blogs, Caro, what would we ever do without you.

Love the video.It's hard to believe it's been 6 years since Clay first became a household name. We used the same opening graphic. I have it on my applaUSE4acauseblog; http://applause4acause.blogspot.com/2009/12/end-of-year-and-donations.html

What a decade it was! One I will never forget as Clay has given us seven years of some of the greatest memories and friendships that I will cherish always. I can only dream of what is ahead of us in the next decade. One thing is for sure and that is retirement is just a short 2 years away. This will give me much more time to travel to concert after concert...LOL!

If by chance I am home early from the casino, I hope to catch some of the excitement that will be going on in right here in cyberspace!

Happy New Years and best wishes in 2010!

Hugs,

Sandy

Again, our sincerest appreciation for what you do in bringing informative blogs about Clay. Here's to 2010 for more. Cheers to you Caro!
