It is with tears and a sad heart I pass on this message from Momtomany: "Gone ... Our family home will now live on in the giving and generous hearts it helped create." Momtomany, I don't know what to say except fuck it all. I am devastated for you. After all these years I still have some of your posts: "Almost 40 years ago, my husband and I spent the meager savings we had on a piece of property.
We came out, day after day, to 'tame the land' - cut down scrub oak, fight our way through weeds and ticks and nettles.
Eventually, we built a home which, for a long time, lacked flooring, a full bathroom, and an exit from the front door.
We met the neighbor across the little dirt road, who brought us watermelon and lemonade on a sweltering August day, as DH sat on an oak stump, repairing the chain saw. I looked after our little boy and our errant, mongrel dog. "-------------------------------------------------------------------------- And your post about the swing in the back yard (after your mom passed away): I have this swing outside, on the back hill that frames our bit of heaven.
It is a place of joy, or solitude, or reflection - it's where I can feel like I'm part of the wind.
My darling gave it to me; my Christmas gift many years ago. It's strung between two oaks that, themselves, struggle to make it through every year. The trees are not majestic; they're scrawny and trying to find the sky.
My swing is my favorite place. I find solace there. Peace. My grandson headed towards it when Thanksgiving became too much.
I can see it from my kitchen window. And today my swing 'swang' (is that a word?) alone in the dappled winter light. Ah - maybe it was the wind; but we've had wind before.
Gently.
I want to let you know.
The words of comfort and understanding and love are helping me. This is so new; I cannot imagine being without my mother - my creator.
I'll watch my swing. And the rays of light around it. They speak to me, in ways I never thought I would know.
I think I'll put on my boots and venture out back.
Your loving thoughts help with the first step."------------------------------------------------------------------------------ momtomany, my heart is breaking for you. I can't bear the thought of your swing being gone. Not sure how to do this....The posts of Momtomany's that Soulmate posted brought tears to my eyes. I have never personally met Momtomany but feel I know her from seeing her in so many videos at Adam's performances over the years. My heart & prayers are with her & her family as they make their way into an uncertain future. Their loved ones will see them through. This is all so heartbreaking for all those who have lost their beloved homes.

We are going to Hollywood Bowl tomorrow & can't imagine what the stage/show will be like without the QAL stage set. Will we be getting any of the robot effect with Adam on his head & Brian held in his hand? Keeping fingers crossed. Been hyping it to friend that are going.

About the tatoo...don't you think Adam would not go above his shoulder area because if he did it might limit possible future acting opportunities? Just wondering if this is a factor in the acting scene.

Hi. I'm a little late getting on for Hollywood Bowl. Not much left that is showing up. Is there a way to search by section instead of best available? And what should I be choosing in the "Please Select a Seat Map"? Thanks. Oh..also trying under American Express presale & it says nothing available in all price ranges. Is this what others are seeing? thanks.

I just read Melisende's recap & I see she too experience the helium effect & the loudness. Also, I forgot to say...I think Adam looked right into my eyes at one point. I had an seat in front of me so I had a clear view to him. My friend next to me excitedly said as she shook my arm..."He looked right at you! He looked right at you!" It was funny. I put my hands up to wave at him to acknowledge it, but then his gaze was on to the next lucky person & he didn't see. That was really cool though.

Well it is so late & at the end of the day. Wasn't sure whether to put my little recap here or wait til tomorrow. I was able to go to both Sat & Sun LA shows. My sweet sister went with me on Sat night. I missed the presale so got tickets from StubHub a couple days later. We were in first row center on the aisle. We had a fantastic view. This was our 4th Adam show together...last GlamNation show, Fantasy Spring 2, QAL in LA. Sat next to a really nice gal who has been to many many shows...all by herself. Said she doesn't know anyone that wants to come. She was a good seat mate. There were about 7 gay men in front of us (last row of mezzanine) We had fun watching them dance & joke around. I sadly have to say that the sound was so loud that it was hard to hear Adam at times. And the chipmunk affect was at the half way level for me. My sister & the gal next to us heard it too. We all had earplugs but it didn't help much. I haven't read any other recaps that experienced this. It is so baffling to me how this happens. Anyway, Adam was so amazing & we totally loved the show. Laleh was a beautiful surprise. We were so stoked to be there. For Sunday night, I was able to get the presale tickets..2nd row mezzanine over to the left side. When I bought the tickets, I had no idea who I was going to bring with me. But I decided to treat myself as life is short. If I couldn't find anyone, I would sell 2 & go by myself. But it turned out that the 2 friends that came with me were the perfect choice. The first friend I asked is crazy about Adam but has never seen him. Then we thought about who we should ask to join us. When we made our decision, it couldn't have been better. It turned out she did like Adam, had voted for him on Idol but not followed him since. We all hadn't seen each other in a few years so we had a great time at dinner catching up. Of course I was concerned about the sound again. I just wanted this to be the best experience for them. But no worries..it was perfect!!! And the loudness was much less too so we could hear every word out of his beautiful mouth. They loved their seats too. Our view of the stage was just like the full video that is posted but from the other side of the stage. On the other side of me was a couple who had never seen Adam before either. She was the fan & said she goes to all her husband's rock concerts with him & it was his turn to go with her. I assured him he was in for a treat..that Adam was so charming & likable & fun that it is impossible not to have a great time. And he did of course totally enjoyed it & said "He is so good!" My friends were blown away as was I. So happy to have gone to both shows. My sister was happy for me too that the sound was great for us. Adam is just so beautiful in every way. It's turned out that I see him once every 2 years. It's worth the wait. Thanks to everyone on this forum for all the videos & information. My friends were impressed with all I knew about him & they were so interested to hear all the stories. I gave Adamtopia all the credit. So good night all...whoever is up. Hope this doesn't get lost being at the end of the thread. Till next time.
