Fan Fest To Raise Funds for NIP
Clay Aiken fans will gather in York, PA, this weekend for the 2011 Fan Fest that promises lots of fun, in-person activities for online friends during two jam-packed days of fundraising for the National Inclusion Project, charity co-founded by the singer in 2003.
Hosted this year by Cookie (Diane Knappy), the fest kicks off at the Yorktowne Hotel at 10 a.m. Saturday and continues through noon Sunday. Contests, clack, caricatures, live and silent auctions, raffles, good food, fun, and fellowship are on tap for the special weekend.
Visit Fan Fest website for full details. Flier will expand.
Among the special guests in York, PA, this weekend will be Faye Parker, Clay's mother, who will speak briefly about the work of the Inclusion Project, and the Claymobile with new owner Nancy LaFave, who won the car in a special auction at the 2010 NIP Gala.
The Claymobile will be available for pictures with attendees. Originally owned by Cookie, the automobile's history can be read in a Saints, Legends and Goddesses blog entry by Scarlett.
Current and past owners with the Claymobile in Raleigh.
The 2011 Fan Fest website contains registration, schedule, and contact information if you would like to join the party in York.
Y'all have fun!
Twitter Helps Rescue Laptop
In case you missed it, an amazing play-by-play mystery unwound on Twitter in real time Thursday when a Canadian author/tech consultant's laptop was taken and he was able to track and recover it remotely with the aid of social media participants and his Prey software.
Not only did Twitter members sit at their computers and watch the story unfold, but several also participated in the recovery. Using tweets, Brandon Ballenger organized the story in his Storify blog: Man tracks stolen laptop, calls thief.
You can catch up with this fascinating stream of events by reading the tweets organized in the blog. Once again, true life is stranger than fiction!
Have a wonderful week, Clay Nation!

I can't wait to attend this years Fan Fest. I attended last year and had a blast.
I just read the Blog entry Saints, Legends and Goddesses by Scarlet. What a delightful story of how Cookie created the Claymobile and took it to many concerts. I am glad it will be at the Fan Fest so fans can get their picture taken by it.
I love your Banner. Clay looks even better when he is bigger. Lol! Have a great day.
Hello!
Thank you for your comments in the Carolina/OFC blogs. One item I forgot to mention is that Scarlett will be recording Fan Fest via videos and photographs; so everyone back home can look forward to a taste of this year's get-together.
I am glad so many like the graphic by AmazingCA. She graciously shares her artistic talent with us. I can't thank her enough for the way she decorates this blog. *g*
Have an awesome week. We are dodging downpours in NC, LOL!

I often wondered what happened to the Claymobile. I only got to see it on TV....never in person. I'm happy to hear that Cookie raffled it off, like she said she was going to do. I myself, would have hated to give it up. Aren't some people just wonderful? Lois
I'm happy to see that the "Claymobile" is still around.
