Phew! :hot:

After sifting through literally thousands of posts in many various topics, I think I have got some kind of organization with all the pictures and video clips from the 10 week run of 'In Celebration'.

As you will notice all the video clips are now in their own sub-forum HERE. Some are downloads, some are direct links to YouTube.

The pictures have been organized in weekly topics: 5-14 July (none-available), 16-21 July, 23-28 July (none available), 30 July - 4 August, 6-11 August, 13-18 August, 20-25 August, 27 August - 1 September, 3-8 September and 10-15 September. All of these topics are closed and are now read-only.

We do have a small batch of photos HERE which don't have a date attached to them. If anyone can help with finding a date, it would be much appreciated.

Unfortunately due to RosieB, a regular member of :teambloom: ,leaving us a few months ago, we have sadly lost a few hundred pictures that were taken specifically for Click! Orlando! over the 10 week period. I'd like to thank the many people (members and non-members) who sent me PM's and Emails pointing out the broken links. Unfortunately the deletion of those specific pictures was out of my control as they were stored in her own personal photobucket account and consequently I'm unable to get them back. I do apologize to everyone who enjoyed looking at them and reliving personal memories. Also an extended apology to the security staff of the DOY Theatre who granted permission to allow the photos to be taken from the alley and also to Orlando who showed such kindness and support.
Thankfully we still have a wonderful collection of photos provided by many members and I would once again like to thank everyone who contributed with their own personal photos and video's. Also a huge thanks to mayfrayn who spent a lot of time gaining permission to post personal pictures from members of other websites.

Hopefully you will all find the pictures and clips easier to locate. Any problems or questions, please let me know.

:thankyou:

Thank you so much for all the hard work, Jesse! :thankyou:

What a great collection of pics and clips! :clap: And what a wonderful summer to remember!

Jesse,
The new way that you have archived this section is much easier for us to find things, and for me, it helps to see how the momemtum of the play built up for Orlando and the fans.

As for the member who left absconding with pictures that were taken specifically for our forum, I guess the person doesn't know the rule of "thou shalt not steal" and has no sense of integrity. The person took not only from Click Orlando, but for the members here who enjoyed a time in Orlando's life that was special. I remember those days and hearing the accounts of their experiences, like Kyle, Mayfrayn, yourself and many others whose names I don't remember, but I am grateful to those who rose to the cause and helped us regain what we lost.

Dear Jesse,
thanks for this wonderful work!
The period of "In Celebration" was so wonderful and full of memories.
I'll look to the pictures without date and try to help you in find the right date, because I have saved on my PC all the pics of that wonderful period.
I was glad to share my personal pics with you, because I think that fans should be unite and be supportive with each other.... ;)
Wonderful memories really!

Mayfrayn
You hit it right on the head!

It certainly was very special. So many people had a dream come true last summer, a dream that most of us never thought possible. I, for one, hope that Orlando will return to the stage sooner rather than later. His films are remarkable, but to watch him act in front of your very eyes, to be totally absorbed within the story, is an experience none of us will forget in a hurry.

It was quite remarkable to watch that happen and I think Orlando was truly astounded at the huge amount of support he received.

Thank you so much mayfrayn. That would be a wonderful help. :friends:

Amen to that!

We shall be the Fellowship Of The 'Bloom'! :lol:

I looooooove that :yahoo:

No prizes for guessing what I've been watching today! :lol:

Jesse,
Thanks for all your hard work on the archiving and reorganization!! I am looking forward to sifting through the pictures and stories again!
