What do Blake Shelton Fans mean to YOU?

I tell ya -- some of you guys I've known now for 8 years! (Some BSers I've known even longer, but they aren't posters)

A few of you have become personal friends at this point. A few have helped me with keeping the web site current when I had too much to do. (Quacky! Bigkhan!)

And many of you have made me laugh on a daily basis! When we started the original .com back in 1998 we were about as clueless as anyone could be. But we worked long, long hours to learn and make up for what we didn't know. When we put up a forum, the fun part of the fandom started! In the all those years, I think we had to ban 2 people. I imagine that's pretty unheard of. Sure, there were always some people that liked to jab -- even though they often thought they were doing it in a way that only a few would get it. Passive-aggressive. But the BSers are a pretty savvy bunch. Not much gets past you guys!

Overall, I'd say we managed to forge a fanTASTIC group of BSers. How else do you explain all those #1 videos on GAC!??!!

I hope that as WB gets this forum tweaked more and more.....that more and more BSers will be able to continue their posting frenzy and keep making me laugh!

Good thread, Connie!

-----------------------------------------------------

BSer's mean so much to me. I have loved the board since the second I joined. I was welcome in immediately by the Blake fans and I felt like I was joining a family. We make each other laugh and pick each other up when we are down. We send prayers, hugs and well wishes and each hardcore has slowly worked in a piece of my heart - I love coming on every day and finding out what is going on with Blake - as well as everyone else I have gotten to know so well.

Both of my boys have heart defects and in February when my second son took a turn and had some trouble, I turned to my BSer family and no one slipped a bit in giving me the courage and strength I needed to get through. Then afterwards they continued to check in on us and one of the hardest of "hardcore" BSers sent my sons Blake bears as a get well wish. It was such a sweet gesture and just a little more proof that I am as loved by them as they are by me. THANK YOU CRAZY CONNIE

Blake fans are a window to what is going on with Blake (especially our beloved BigKhan) and a window into their experience with Blake. We all have that one thing in common - BLAKE - and I love every minute of sharing that with those who can understand my obsession....er...respect, for Blake Shelton ;P

BSers mean so much to me that it is no wonder why I am worried and down right now. We are going through a new experience and the threat of losing what we have grown so accustomed to is scary and frustrating.

True Bsers understand that.

No matter what, the hardcore Blake fans are going to see it through the hard days and keep helping Blake step to the top...

~Sabrina~

I have been through my fair share as a BSer. When I first started posting, I posted just about nonstop. I'm sure that annoyed some of the old timers, but I was so excited about everything Blake related. I managed to have a really bad manic episode not too terribly long after joining and I said some ugly things to some people, but we have since mended fences and I have made some true friends that accept me as I am. Bipolar and all.

I have had several conversations with my BSer friends, and they are truly a lifeline to me. They were there for me when my grandeddy got sick and when he died and I will never ever forget that.

I have flown to Ohio to go to the Owensboro concert with Renee'. She promised me it would be the best Blake Shelton show ever.....and it was. I have met up with Lynn in Las Vegas and Phoenix to see Blake in concert and enjoyed her company very much. In just a few short months, I will be driving cross country to the Fan Club Party. I will be leaving from Arizona and will make my way to Oklahoma to meet up with Ronda....who has become another wonderful friend to me. We will be driving in for the party with a stop in Memphis on the way. I met Ruth and Mo in Owensboro and I still manage to keep in touch with Ruth...she is a wonderful lady and Mo, well, let's just say they broke the mold with him. I have also been fortunate enough to become friends with Bigkhan....especially considering I could have damaged that friendship beyond repair on two different occasions. I call her about every day (probably a lot more than she'd like....and tell her more than she would ever want to know) Melissa has been another wonderful friend. The card she sent me after my grandeddy's passing is still up on the wall. There are plenty others of you that I haven't had personal contact with, but I still consider you friends.

I enjoyed the old board immensely....the laughter, the sharing and the tears. I'm sure this board will get back to what that one was....and we can all be here to support Blake and in times of need, each other. Blake Shelton is a wonderful, kind, and compassionate person and so are his BSers.

......Next chapter to come later.

I'm still trying to find my way around this board,its very frustrating sometimes,but if this is where my BSer friends and family are going to be then I will continue trying to be here as much as I can tolerate.Some of my family used to think it was all about Blake,thinking I was obsessed or something ,imagine that.I had to explain to them Yes I do love Blake,but its way more than that now, I have many BSer friends (true BSers),so many of us think alike , act alike,and I don't know what I would do with out some of the friends I have made,some times they just help me get through the day,with a pm,or a comment on myspace or a phone call.I've met a lot of you and I hope someday to meet many more of you. So even though I might not be here very much, I'll be off voting, requesting,supporting Blake in any way I can,but when I need my BSer fan fix I know where to find you guys
I'M PROUD TO BE AN ORIGINAL TRUE BSER - BLAKE BROUGHT US TOGETHER AND BLAKE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER !

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~:~ BSer KAREN ~:~

theres not much I can add to what yall said but the BSers are the best friends and family that you could ever want,they laugh with ya cry with ya and help ya throu hard times and ill always be here for yas.love ya all.

What have we been to you, as a BSer??? You ask Connie... where do I start....

I may have just joined last summer (even though I've been a huge Blake fan since he started) but I feel like I've known some of you for so much longer! I cant believe the wonderful friendships and love and support that I have discovered in this BS family! As some of you know from back on the old Forum I had talked about my dad's cancer and asking for prayers. The support I received so quickly was like a huge hug wrapped around me, I truly know that I wouldn't be feeling as strong as I do right now if it wasn't for all those hardcore BSers that would be there for me, and thank goodness some have become great enough friends to still be there for me whenever I email or call to them on a daily basis if I need to. My gosh how great is it to have a group of such wonderful BSers RIGHT there when you need to laugh share a funny story and express our love and Passion we have for Blake and his music! Its been so great to watch his career sore together.

I'm trying to be on here more and know I haven't posted too much.. I miss the togetherness like the old board felt like, but I hope As I continue to come on here day after day we can reach that again

I'M sooooo proud to call myself an Original BSer!!!!!

I have never met a more welcoming bunch of people! When I joined and started posting in 07, I was immediately welcomed, my questions were answered (no matter how stupid the question was...like 'What is CW?' LOL) without hesitation and just like that, I was 'in'! LOL!

I met Crazy Connie & Dug, Dee & Chris, Sherry, Kathy, Sherry, Becky and Janet and her lovely family in Walton, NY in August 07 and there were hugs all around and we were instantly all great friends! No awkwardness, nothing! It was truly one of the best days of my life!! It was also Becky, Janet's and my first M&G with Blake and it was enjoyed by ALL! The 'not so newbies' whom had met Blake before were genuinely excited for us and TOTALLY indulged us and kept saying 'wait until the show, he'll remember you' ....sure he will....HE DID!! He is like no other performer I've ever seen!! PHENOMENAL!!

That's also the show where Ken and Connie fell in....whatever they're in! LOL!! AND we played Frogger too!! LOL!!

I met Karen and her daughters and Sue at a show with the afforementioned group (except Janet ) in Verona, NY and they were so sweet too!!

I can't wait until the FCP so I get to see all my friends again AND so I can meet the friends I've known for years but have not met!

If it wasn't for Blake, I would not have met the wonderful friends whom I consider family! Thanks Blake! Thanks Carol and Patti for starting such a great fanclub and forum.

If it wasn't for Blake, we wouldn't have all gotten together...if it wasn't for Carol and Patti we wouldn't have had a place to meet!

I too miss the old board and wish it were back! I hope soon WB listens to all of our concerns and addresses them....SOON!!!

WHOOHOOO!! The Hardcore BS'ers are going to NASHVILLE!!!!

Wow!! Not sure I can follow...I joined the FC in Aug. of last year (been a Blake fan forever) From the very beginning I've felt welcomed, I came for Blake, but it's so much more than that. I really miss the comraderie of the old board, it flowed so well. I haven't needed the power of BS prayers, but know if I did all my BSer buds wouldn't hesitate!! We are like a family and the HARDCORES always will be. I'm so excited to be going to the FC party to meet all my friends!! My family can't believe I'm going there "alone". I tell them I'm flying there by myself, but once I get there I'll be surrounded by my people!! BSers ROCK!! I feel lucky to belong to such a tight-knit clan!! Love ya guys.

~~~~~~~~~~~
~No Doubt About It...That Boy's Country Strong~

Everyone has already pretty much summed it up. I came to the board several years ago to learn more about Blake & I ended up making some very dear friends. I liked Karen's comment about Blake bringing us together & keeping us together. Through him, we really have become a family and have been there for one another, through thick & thin!
-------------------------------------------------------------
ILBSER

What have we been to you, as a BSer???
You all have been family to me. I became a fan club member because I love Blake, but I had no idea that I would end up making friends with such wonderful people. I have witnessed how the BSers rally around each other when times get tough and when something good happens to one of us we sure know how to share the joy. I agree with Connie that the BSers are a direct reflection on the kind of person Blake is.

Well I'm a new kid on the block, but have been a fan club member since last August. Everyone has been so nice and welcomed me with open arms. I see how everyone cares for each other and do everything we can to put Blake at the top of the charts and support him in every way possible. Thanks Connie for always letting us know when things are going on about Blake that we wouldn't know otherwise. Carol has been great and has gone over and beyond to make sure that even though I didn't get a VIP ticket for the party, that I got my floor tickets. Thanks to all of you and I look forward to meeting you all at the party!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!! Cindy Lou

For me Blake came into my life in 2001 with Austin.

As soon as I got a laptop I joined the BSers Board.

I met my friend Mary Brown in the Blake Guestbook in 2002 and we remain close friends even though I am old enough to be her Mom.

Besides the BSers Board I have been over the CMT board also.

I can't count how many BSers I met over there and had to explain to them how to join us over on the BSers Board.

So many BSers are friends of mine and all because of Blake.

Like the same week that Connie lost Angelo I lost my son Tom.

It was comforting place to be with people I knew.

Where some people would need a drug to get over their loss I had my friends on the BSers Board.

One year some of the BSers surprised me with a Throw that Brandy Prettygirl76 had a inscribed to me from them.

And my other treasure is my Thank You Card from Blake for voting on GAC.

The date is wrong on here but I wanted to share it with you all.
I have never joined in the Secret Santa or the Christmas card exchange but I receive many cards & gifts from the BSers.

Over the years I have received many PMs from new BSers because they felt stupid and didn't want to ask a question on the board. .Some of these same BSers still will email me with a question but sometime just to say HI.

While I am not really a big poster but I do know how to copy & past BS news.

This new board was faster last week but today it SLOW again. I don't have Alawt of patience to wait for pages to load.

I could be voting on GAC trying to keep our Blake in the TOP 5.

From looking at this board, more fans of all artists should be voting as many of their other favorite's aren't even in the TOP 20 on GAC.

We BSers vote, talk and pray together because we care for each other and it was Blake that brought together.
Connie

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been a fan for a long time, but started posting on the forum in '07. I look so forward to post and read everyone else's posts. While I love Blake to death, I have met some wonderful BSer's. I am looking forward to meeting many more at the next Fan Club Party. I so enjoy Secret Santa and Xmas card exchange. The first year I participated in Secret Santa, VooDoo Vonna didn't get a gift. so I sent her one. We have really gotten to be close friends since then. We vote for Blake when asked, we help out fellow Bsers when needed, and every night I say a prayer for all my BSer friends in need. Since I am in both Alabama & Louisiana, I have met BSers from both places. Last year I was lucky enough to see Blake 7 times and met BSers there.
If not for Blake, I probably would have never met Tracy Broussard. Found out his great aunt was my 5th grade teacher, & he is from about 15 miles from where I grew out and will be living eventually.

Geaux (go) Blake

Claire

Well, leave it to me to break the flow!! LOL!! I agree! Walton was the best!! YOU'RE THE BEST!! I'm all warm and fuzzy now!! LOL!!

WHOOHOOO!! The Hardcore BS'ers are going to NASHVILLE!!!!

I started listening to Country music in 2001 (I think). I was hearing "Austin" on the radio a lot and when I finally heard the whole song beginning to end I almost had to pull the car over I was crying so hard. What a great song...it's still one of my favs! I had no idea who sang it and probably heard them say Blake's name on the radio but I knew nothing about Country music at the time so I didn't know who he was! I watched the ACMs for the first time and saw Blake's amazing smile when they put the camera on him when his name was announced as a nominee for the new male artist award (Horizon?). I was disappointed that he didn't win but seeing his face after falling in love w/Austin made me want to check out him out. I bought his CD the next week and went on his website for the first time and joined the fan club then started posting on the board.

I haven't been on the board regularly in the last couple of years but I've kept involved in what's going on with Blake, and Connie (Bigkhan) has been wonderful about keeping me informed (thanks Connie!). I've voted for him on GAC, etc. and gone to see him in concert whenever I could.

I have met some wonderful people on Blake's board and have been fortunate enough to meet some of them in person. The BSers are a wonderful group and care deeply about each other. They also know how to have a good time and are very witty and have a great sense of humor. You never know what some of them will say next! LOL I am thankful for being part of such a great group who really are dear friends and family to me.

Carol and Patti, thanks for all your effort to provide a great place for the BSers.

~~~Althea~~~

"whackjobs" are totally cool with him, too, I bet.

Jessica

I like the stories! Nice picture, Bigkhan -- I had forgotten about the throw too! I can't believe so many of you joined the old forum so recently. It seems like you've been around forever!
-----------------------------------------------------

Ahhhhh. . . . the Walton mud,y'all have me reminiscing now.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~:~ BSer KAREN ~:~

I have really enjoyed the BS fan club and have made some good friends that I hope to have for life as a result of joining the club. I love reading all of the information about Blake that is always given to us here. I enjoy the concert sharing and reviews.......some kind BS'er is usually willing to share their pictures and reviews of concerts. That is a real treat.....to be able to know and see what is going on with Blake shows when I haven't been able to see a show for a long time. I love being able to keep up on all of the chart information and knowing where Blake will be on the charts even before the countdowns are played.

The voting support for Blake has simply amazed me! Blake is truly blessed to have fans that care so very much about where he is on the charts!

The support from fellow BSers to other fellow BSers has been amazing to me, also. I don't know that I have ever seen such a supportive fan club.......one that cares so much about the other members........whether it be a joyous thing.....or a difficult and sad time that someone is going through and just want to vent or share.

I also think Carol & Patti are wonderful!! They have been "up close & personal" with us. I know that they have gone above & beyond what other fan club presidents and company would do. ((((HUGS))))

------Melissa-------

well, I just wanna take bits and pieces of what the rest of you have said and put it together as my own post cause you all have covered it well...I love the BSers!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm an Original, Hardcore BSer. Hey....Is it June yet??

What Blake Shelton Fans mean to me:

One of the greatest things about becoming part of a forum is meeting like minded people
with common interest and forming bonds. While my musical interests are so diverse they cannot be contained in one genre, Country Music however, is by far my favorite, and Blake is my favorite male country artist!!!

While most of my BS’er friends are a bit more private in nature than some, we’ve rallied around each other during personal losses, and lost loved ones. We’ve endured battles with cancer in adults and even in little ones , endings of relationships, car accidents etc. and we’ve rejoiced in the celebrations of various personal accomplishments, new additions to families etc.

It’s comforting to know that all of my BS’er friends are only a phone call , or a text or email away! Even for the simplest of things, like a bad hair day, or something more major, or if not just so say hey I am thinking about ya!

There isn’t a birthday that goes by that isn’t acknowledged by the others. Even though my BS’er friends and I are miles apart geographically we come together through email/pm’s to “shop” together, each gift is selected with love and given special thought, we take turns being the purchasing agent, and it’s a group effort that we enjoy! We just recently celebrated Renae’s, Drytowner(Derek’s) and tominchitown (Tom’s)!!!!!

My BS’er friends are always looking forward to the next road trip that brings us together be it, a Blake event or for no other reason than to just enjoy each other’s company. I can honestly say that some life long friendships have been forged!

In March of 07, Blake was playing at Joe’s Bar in Chicago for the very first time. It’s a wonderful venue, very small and intimate, and it’s one happening place! It was a must do! A group of us got together to rally around Blake and show our support. So Iowafan (Jill) drove in from Madison, and karateguy (Craig) flew in from MN, hisbabygirl (Courtney), Nathan, and myself flew in from Az, and tominchitown (Tom) who was local was our host!!!!!!!! It was the first time I met Tom and we’ve been friends ever since! LOL I want to say that was Craig’s first MG, and it was so exciting introducing him to Blake that night! Nathan actually gave up his spot at the MG to help Tom save our places front and center so we could hoot and holler for Blake!

A true BS’er can never get enough of Blake! So in May of 07 we got together again
for another trip, this time to Minnesota for TWO consecutive nights of fun! This time
karateguy (Craig) is our host and shuttle! So Iowafan (Jill), hisbabygirl (Courtney) , Nathan and myself flew into MN for what turned out to be one of the most memorable weekend of Blake ever!

In June of 07 our Blake adventures found us in Nashville for the FC Party!!!! What a great time! Thank you Carol, Patti, and Blake!
This was my first time meeting Brandi another fellow BS’er! Such a delightful girl!
About 6 of us BS’ers buddies also attended Blake’s archery tournament that year!
I wish Brandi and Iowafan would post here again. It’s not the same without them.

Traveling and seeing Blake is unquestionably awesome, but meeting fellow BS’er
is the icing on the cake. During our stay in Nashville 07 I go to meet yet a couple of more
BS’ers! WOW who would have thought we’d have the opportunity to be at one of Blake’s video shoots! This was the first time I met #1BS’er (Renee) and Debbie. We met up early at TGIF’s for drinks, which seemed appropriate for a video titled “The More I Drink”!


The whole experience was just an awesome opportunity for a true Blake fan! Thank you Blake for this opportunity!

In Oct. 08 karateguy (Craig) flew to Arizona to attend the State Fair to see Blake!
There he is in the back!

Our weekend wasn’t complete without taking a road trip together to see Blake in Primm!
Another great adventure with fellow BS’ers!!!!

A few of my other BS’er friends Jess, Tara, and DryTowner (Derek) and I have seized other opportunities together to see Blake in various acoustic settings, it’s just all about sharing and enjoying Blake and friendships! Traveling almost any distance has never been an issue.

A few of my latest treasures that I’ve acquired from knowing Blake is JCayton (Julia), Renae, and olred (Wade)! All have become very near and dear friends not only to me but my family as well! Meeting Julia in Nashville was a true delight! We bonded immediately. Watching Wade evolve into a Blake fan has been fun! I was so excited to hear his first review!

While I haven’t actually met Renae, I’ve come to love her as if she were part of my very own family.
We’ve shared stories and pictures, and so many common interests, and I cannot wait until May to finally get to meet her and her husband! The anticipation is beyond great! I wish Sandi were going as well so I could meet her too!

Rarely do I ever attend a Blake event without having non fan club members in the mix, hoping it’s that exposure to Blake that reaps new fans! In addition to my BS’er fans following Blake’s success it has also always been a family adventure for my family and I which just makes it that much more fun! All together we vote, we attend concerts, we buy Blake’s music, we grasp any chance to see him on television or to promote Blake!

Who would have thought that one’s interest in AN artist’s music would lead to life long friendships that will endure through time?????? It’s aBSolutely amazing!!!!!!!! My love for Blake Shelton Fans reaches far beyond the confines of this forum!

HAHA yeah it's always fun times whenever you guys make it up to Chicago, and of course Joe's is one of the best venues ever.

Ya know in a couple more weeks it's gonna be bonfire season up here again, so you're all gonna have to head back up here for another bonfire / drinking / potato cannon shooting / drunk dialing / 15 people sleeping on the living room floor / wild party at my house. I already told the neighbors you guys were all gonna be back for another party sometime this summer too and they can't wait to hang out again either, so we definitely gotta start planning something soon!

You forgot about "road blocks in the fire pit" and "Jager gallons".

Jessica

LMAO!! That's right!!! HAHA!

Ok, so I didn't actually answer the original question in my last post, so here goes -

As far as what Blake fans mean to me, the first word that will always come to mind is 'fun'. I know I'm kind of a newcomer to the forum itself, but I've been going to Blake concerts since 2002 and I've been friends with a lot of people in this fan club for several years and I can honestly say that no matter what else is going on in my life, getting together with this group always means good times, listening to good music, not being able to stop laughing for the entire night (or weekend.... or week in some cases....lol, depending on where the actual show is that we're going to see and what other fun side trips we end up making), and always going back home with some great stories that I'll be telling people about for the rest of my life.

So I've got so many different many pictures and stories and stuff that if I tried to get specific, it would take me hours to type everything I wanted to say and this post would be like 8 pages long, so I'll try to just narrow it down and post a few of the funnier pics we've all taken together over the years -

Me & Jess, with a bonus shot of Julia stealing my beer and pouring it into hers in the background:

Why you should never fall asleep around friends who have cameras:

Me & Jill:

Hydration is important:

Fun times at my place:

A quick side trip to the tattoo shop before a concert:

- Tom

Oh gosh Tom those are indeed fun times, spent with fellow Blake fans! Some "official" and some not but big fans none the less! That's what I meant in my post about my love for Blake not being confined to just this forum. Any chance to see Blake is a great opportunity to gather as freinds!!!!

Dawgonit! I knew I forgot someone in my original post! While in MN I got to meet Dorothy and Linda! Two awesome awesome ladies who didn't have reserved seating for the SRO crowd for Blake's second night, I got a kick out of watching them cheering and jamming to Blake! And meeting Local Celebrity (Jamie) last summer!

And looking sooooooooo forward to finally meeting Juli in May and hangin' out with her!

Thanks a lot, Tom. I'm still kicking myself for missing that Chicago party last year. That one of you and Derek cracks me the hell up. And you and Jess just almost look like a sweet married couple. LMAO.

To that last one, though, all I can say to that last one is "Watch out for those HellRaisin' Posse girls. They're trouble!"

Awesome.

I've been thinking for days on what I want to say here and I can't really come up with anything really great. So when you read this just imagine that it's the funniest, sweetest thing with just a slight hint of sarcastic wit that you've ever read....

Even though I've recently been informed that I was never and won't ever be a part of the BSer love, I still feel like I have been and I'm grateful for it. I've met some wonderful BSers over the last year. From Ann whose warm, friendly smile will make you feel like you've just arrived home after a long journey (and her hugs are just as genuine as Blakes!) to Sarita whose quiet, shy demeanor almost hides the great wisdom she possesses to Jess who offered to let me hang out with her and Derek in the M&G line because I was obviously visibly nervous and didn't know anyone else there - even though they didn't know me either! - to Cindy who has become my "concert buddy" because we don't care if the people behind us are sitting while we stand - it's Blake they need to get up! (Right, Cindy? Hope everything is going well right now in surgery for you. Love ya!)

And I too, like many, feel like I've come to know some of you I haven't yet met. Ronie and her girls are definitely on my "Must Meet" list. They've been so welcoming and great to me. Tom, Can't wait for May buddy! BigKhanConnie - you've always been very generous and gracious with sharing things with me and I really do appreciate it. Probably more than you will ever believe.

The BSer family runs the gamut of people and personalities like these but underneath all the differences, at the core, the BSers I've met have been genuine, real, caring, compassionate, accepting, open, loving people. And really, that's what matters.

Renae, I am glad you were able to write all the things above. I'm very proud that you appear to be forgiving of some of the things that have been thrown out there about us. I hope someday I can get there. But, right now, I don't think I can be that forgiving. Although I have enjoyed most of the people here for the last few months, I now feel completely beat down by the fact that I am no longer considered a good BS fan. Although, that could not be further from the truth! Like you, I also felt accepted for a few months but because I made some observations and expressed some opinions I am also no longer considered worthy of this board. I will get over it, but it will probably take awhile. Good luck to you!

Lori, You are a perfect example of how forgiving
BSers can be when you hang in there. And, I know
you won't mind my saying that you were even in
a temporary ban from posting for a period of time.
It seems I even posted some information for you
in the blurbs when you couldn't do it yourself.
You are a fabulous fan!!!!!!!!!!
And, for those who don't know....Lori does a LOT
of voting for Blake...not sure he would have won
some of those contests if not for her. Thanks Lori!

What do Blake's fans mean to me? There isn't
enough space here! If you love Blake, I love you!!!
If you don't love Blake, it's a deal breaker....we
can't be friends. Go Blake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
