I Am In Love
With a guy named Clayton Aiken, today was wow, I'm still in shock, so I'll cut away now...
So Michelle and I got there around 1pm, for once Yahoo Maps didn't fail me. We parked in the garage behind the lot, and proceeded to sign in, they took our pictures, which shocked me, and let's face it, mine was definitely un-flattering.
Around 1:45/2:00, this guy comes out and says "Claymates go into the tent!" We went in and waited some more with people who weren't even fans. Just paid losers, er extras. This guy who had a Guest List for us to sign, kept mentioning "This kid wears a WWJD bracelet like yours" Michelle and I were like "Sir, he has a name... it's CLAY AIKEN!" So the guy came in and took us outside the tent, he led us down to Hollywood Blvd. and stopped us on the street. We ended up standing around. A girl screamed, we looked over, and there he was... walking to the stage. He was wearing a darkblue shirt, over a lightblue hoodie, another shirt, brown pants, and Converse sneakers. He waved and smiled.
The purpose of the video, is Clay is giving a concert in the middle of Hollywood Blvd. We're just passers-by, who stumble upon the show, we look surprised and walk into the center and begin to dance.
This next part is quite boring, the first 3 takes involved cutting and sending us back to stand behind a van. JD Adams showed up with his new Mystery Girl (a blonde go figure) she hugged Clay, this girl behind us shouted "BITCH!" extremely loud, he didn't hear her, but everyone cracked up.
Some random things I noticed:
- He had his own personal umbrella holder, a guy who just stood there and held it so the sun was off him.
- He was drinking Orange Gatorade, holding the bottle with the bottom resting on his hand.
- He had a small, red fan which he used to cool down. At one point, holding it so close, he hit himself (For the record, I told him so)
The rest of the day involved us going back to Step One, and walking slowly to the stage, each time we landed primo spots up front, he made eye contact with us all (and let me tell you, he will make you feel like the only one there) and he TOUCHED US! Wow... it sent shivers down my back.
The video is gonna be tight, and it's probably gonna be on Making The Video, because at the end he said into a camera "Hey this is Clay Aiken and you're on the set of my first video Invisible" I can't wait to see what they do with the dog/cat (A dog but we swear it looked like a cat) and the 70/80-year-old man they casted for.
Finally, Paid Extras are bitches, one tried to get us in trouble, we were standing close to the stage, and she told the guy "Only the 6 of us paid ones should be here" but he didn't listen. Ha ha... she sucks!
If I think of anything more... well... there's always another entry... LOL
