I pulled out the Clay Aiken 8 Year Calendar last night. It is always fun to see if there is any exciting event that happened on a certain date. September 26th is a great day to look at the calendar.
On September 26, 2006, Clay Aiken was in Hollywood at the Virgin Records Store. He was there to sign his new CD, A Thousand Different Ways. He arrived at 1:00PM and was immediately surrounded by many fans who had waited a long time to get into the event. It wasn’t easy for the fans to get a autograph. They had to wear a special bracelet that they got at the CD release party the week before. A few fans were able to get the special bracelet in the morning when they arrived at the store.
A highlight of the event was a visit by Jimmy Kimmel who played the role of a “crazy” fan who was in love with Clay. Both Clay and Jimmy played their roles with enthusiasm and received lots of laughs.
When the CD signing was over, Clay hurried across the street to the El Capitan Theater to make an appearance and performance on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.
The following videos are fun and really show the excitement of the day.
What an exciting day that was for Clay and the fans. I've never gotten to experience a CD signing, but some of my friends have and they had a blast.
I was there for the Virgin CD signing and Jimmy Kimmel show! What an experience. Traveled from one coast to another to see Clay. He looks so young in those video clips. Loved his hair dark with the bangs.
I love ATDW and still play it more than any other CD. I think partly because I was there in LA that day and heard it played the entire time Clay was at Virgin. Everytime I play the CD, I have memories of that special day.
I didn't get to to the signing but the whole Jimmy Kimmell appearance was so much fun. They will be locked!! 🙂
