Diana L. Kilbridge's Bobblefest BEVR

My fervor to see the broads, clay and breath NC air carried me through 8 1/2 hours of driving with no sleep only armed with my road rage in one hand and need for live clack in the other.

This impulsive maneuver had my body in a tizzy but the thought of sleeping with the broads ontop or other wise foreshadowed a sizable splash of rationality that crossed my mind in the 11th hour of travel and the Smokey Mountains....

Passing the welcome to North Carolina sign gave me new energy ..I was breathing NC clay air& my sisters were mere miles down the road..

My heart was so full it was fit to burst just counting the minutes..it's clear blue sky as i descend on charlotte check into broadband place AKA microtel...I attempt a nap...yea right.

I hear car doors it's gini & mike they besides myself are first to arrive..freak the nap...Lila calls she has landed...in true bush on the carrier style...i decide to hot shower myself back to life...the broadly powers are giving me strengths i had not known before...Then as Lila and i get ready to depart for Chinese...amber and the wonder twins take form of ERBIN.. a most powerful two some and then some...arrive we run jet elevator and ekkkkkk hugs screams jumps and excitement then Erin breaks out the truth formula which brings all clay fans to their knees: the space nk..we sniff we sniff again we swoon head for restaurant...

THE LOTUS FLOWER JELLO POPIN THAT WASN'T CHICKEN GARDEN.

We now have the pleasure to meet nsst our hostess with the mostest and all other attending broads...we eat we mingle we laugh ROBIN SINGLE HANDILY EMPTIES THE Jell-O TRAY..there's always room for jello and robin in my book....all during dinner i am wishing for a million dollars to buy a big house where we all could live...had to go there Elton...

WAS THERE A GAME OR A BOXING MATCH

fast forward to the game due to lack of sleep the in between is sort of blurry...now onto the performance: i was fixated on the entrance clay was coming out of and if i could have glued my binoculars to my face i would have ...the first thing i noticed upon his announcement was the face of man in his home town infront of his peeps...he looked down to the floor with that i don;t deserve this half a smile unassuming manner i love that about him and i busted a tear.....he had his back to us buttt...and i mean butt he was there...the man the local boy the star and i was soon to discover the friend...the son...the clay...

WHY A BOXING MATCH:

after he sang ssb to the flag..and all of us he took his place court side with mama Faye behind him and his friends by his side.....now i am being hit with the one two punch of clay just being clay,,fidgeity...talking, smiling, laughing, hugging, making the people around him happy.....what a joy it was to watch the clay aiken show...tapping fingers, drinking a bottle of water....double live clay...he was more luminous in these moments then i had ever seen or had the privilege to witness before...then he came out to sing and again the one two punch..THE WAY AND INVISIBLE.....AMAZING JUST AMAZING.... the strut from side to everlovin side of court ....i am now awake a solid 24 hours and i have enough energy to lite up shea stadium.....he sings and blows the roof of the place...and gives us all the affirmation once again of why we will travel light years to see him why we are all together as individuals as one clear cut voice in our wonderment, dedication, and yes our lechery....CLAYTON NEVER DISAPPOINTS.......AND THAT'S SOMETHING I WILL NEVER DELETE...DELETE...DELETE .......

NOR DO I EVER WISH TO LOSS THE MEMORIES I FORDGED WITH MY SISTERHOOD......OH AND YEA I GOT A BOBBBLEHEAD,,,,BONUS....PURPLE PANTS WHAT! A SHOUT OUT I THINK SO.....SAVOR THE FLAVOR FOR EVER.....DIANA K.
