From the CB's claysbuttercup99:

Oh, how even more exceptional this was, when I thought it couldn't get better!! I've met so many people, connecting usernames to faces. I'll lay it all out in as much detail as possible, just like I have done in previous reviews!

I couldn't leave the house until about 1 PM, so that left limited time to meet new friends & reunite with people, as well! After a drive from the Baltimore area, at 4 PM, I finally arrived. I got a call from Claymate351 that she had seen Jerome go into the bus & backstage. Also, another friend of mine saw Clay walk in backstage wearing the same clothes he wore since shaking hands in Baltimore! Haha! :) After I got a call from Claymate351, I proceeded to go meet her! Of course, there was a big fence in between us while she was by the buses.. haha!

Then, my mom and I went to check in & get our room. 818, I could never forget on a night like this! Just wonder if it was 919!!! Claymate351 and I were hanging out for a long time. We met many Clay fans as we were walking around - hard to miss them! :) Just the word "Clay" mentioned once, it was a big fan meetup! I saw many Baltimore Claymates, as well as fans from NY, GA, KS, and other states!

After meeting all these fans, a very good online friend of mine called me to tell me she had arrived! I, then, proceeded outside to wait for & meet her! It was so great to meet some best friends and new fans to keep in touch with! My two friends and I went to dinner at the Genetti, which was pretty good. We kept our Clay ringtones to see what would happen - that seemed to be the best way to meet fans; let them hear Clay and decide if they want to chat! :)

After eating, and talking about "you know who!!!" for 20 minutes, we walked to the Community Arts Center. Turns out, the Community Arts Center was small, yet beautiful, do Row Z honestly wasn't too bad! The symphony sounded great, and I knew they would be exceptional with Clay added! As Clay came on, Tara and I (Tara being the one Clay spoke to for Word of the Night) sang along! We danced and sand through all of his songs, hearing people around as giggle at how perky we were.

When Clay first raised the lights, Tara and I stood up and waved from Row Z, and Clay kept glancing over. Finally, with Tara & I persistently waving, he said, "Yeah, I see ya!" We both looked at eachother and back and Clay. We smile the biggest smiles we have smiled all day!

Later, during the word of the night, Col Legno, Tara thought she knew the answer so she raised her hand. She wasn't sure, so I kept reassuring her that she had a chance to talk to Clay and she thought she knew it, so I told her, go ahead! Clay went ahead and decided to call of her!! I saw it on her face- uhoh! She didn't know it! Clay said her name the cutest way! "Tahhhrah." Hahah! When Clay asked what it was, Tara replied with her "Uhh-Uhhhhhhh." LOL! It was so funny, but she was so excited she talked to Clay!

Clay was absolutely phenomenal all night!! Claymate351 insists that it was the best Clay concert she's ever been to. But just like last time, the concert is only a third of the actual experience.

After the very last note of All Is Well, Tara and I looked at eachother and said - "BUSES!!!!" We ran outside to find about 20 people there. It's kind of crazy that soon it amounted to be 200 or more!! Jerome & Clay himself mentioned how large the crowd was. I got a security guard to take a picture of the crowd before we were told to line up single file line. I will post that as soon as I get home! Jerome told all 200 or 300 fans to line up the across the fence (that was quite a long stretch of fans, let me tell you!) It took Clay about 20 or so minutes to finish greeting fans! Clay got to Claymate351 and I, we nearly fainted! He wore orange pajama pants under a gray jacket, I believe. He walked at a fairly fast pace, but it was worth it!

And even the buses, a lot happened! I have met quite a few fans while I sit at the public computer watching Clack & typing this review, I've met quite a few Clay fans, including NKY4Clay, karma4clay, solitaire234, & clayniac2. Sorry if any of these were incorrect, it's hard to think at 2 AM! I'll post the Williamsport pictures soon!
