revidAdam Lambert, why have you kidnapped ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
revid's brain and common sense, and what have you done with them?
In typical network TV chickenshit fashion, ABC cancelled the not-to-be-trusted Adam Lambert from their NY Rockin' Eve hosted by Ryan Seacrest and the remarkably life-like shell of what used to be Dick Clark, because I dunno, he makes Ryan a little nervous that he'll kiss Adam or sumpin'. But once again, like a phoenix from the ashes, Adam rises, and comes out looking like he planned it this way all along.
He just got the headliner gig at the Gridlock LA NYE party, a humongous event held on the Paramount studio lot in Los Angeles annually, with multiple stages, fireworks, and all the alcohol you can drink with 5000 of your closest friends. I see the trade-off this way:
Downside: No national TV exposure
Upside: A full 40 minute set of his own, instead of 1 or 2 songs; no FCC to worry about; much better coin than the ABC gig; alcohol and an over 21 crowd live right in front of the stage; five miles from his home instead of across the country; a good 30 to 40 degrees warmer than NYC; and best of all, MY PRESENCE IN THE AUDIENCE.
YOU GUYS....it's Adam's very, very first ever post-idol headliner concert...playing HIS songs, from HIS album. How could I say no? Never mind that I've spent less on entire vacations!...So I got my ticket, (and a plane ticket, and a rental car) and I'm meeting up with a bunch of cool people from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hooplamagnet and I'm so freakin' excited I can hardly stand it.
Which leads me back to my original question. Adam, I love you baby, but please, please, please, can I have my common sense back some day? Pleeeeeease?

Oh well, there will be plenty of other opportunities since our boy is just getting started. ^_^ But my point? Reading your happy news totally made me forget about being bummed. ;)
*SMOOCHES* XOXOXO

Tour next year, for sure though...probably as an opener for someone. And the boys will be swinging around the US again next year as well, so it's going to be a good year for concerts!
