one tree hill tour [02/28/05 - 03/31/05];

bethany joy, accompanied by tyler hilton & the wreckers, went on a 25 city musical tour in 2005. this tour coincided with one tree hill since joy's character, haley, was actually going on tour with tyler hilton and the wreckers on the show. it was here that we heard some of our favorite joy songs for the first time, such as john & jr., crazy girls, songs in my pockets, sunday train, oh god/foolish heart, and if you're missing (come on home). she also sang when the stars go blue with tyler hilton, which their characters sang on the show, and some covers such movin' out and queen of wishful thinking. during the tour was also when joy released her 2nd CD, come on home, which featured 4 tracks she sang on the one tree hill tour, as well as another song leaving town alive. on tour, joy sang, danced, and met with fans at the meet and greet. some of our favorite joy stories come from the tour like the NH money cup and hamlet book. it was also on the tour that we found out joy wrote her song if you're missing (come on home) in her one tree hill trailer during the season 2 episode "the trick is to keep breathing", and that she wrote oh god/foolish heart just minutes before going on stage.

on the tour we also heard some insight into why joy wrote some of these songs. john & jr, for example, joy said she wrote about her childhood heroes, john malkovitch and robert downey jr. joy also said the song was about waiting to be the best; "So often we think we know what we want, but if you wait, really there's something so much better," she told the crowd. "It's inspiring. Just wait. Wait to be the best." if you're missing (come on home) joy said she wrote about hollywood, and not wanting to get caught up in hollywood and remember who she was. the one tree hill tour is one of everyone's favorite joy memories, whether you had the opportunity to go or not, and is definitely an event all of us will never forget.

Bethany Joy's official website, bethanyjoylenz.com, went live on March 5th, 2005. On her site, Joy said she was planning to expand it and that she was going to try and make her CD come on home available there to buy. Here Joy also posted some of her joynals, which are a favorite of any Joy fan. Since her website is no longer in use, you can find her joynal entries here.

The first Insane Lenzbians thread was started on March 22nd, 2005. One of the posters on the board coined that phrase as a name for Joy fans who were insane about Joy. A Lenzbian is a noun. It's a female who is in love with Bethany Joy Lenz (now Galeotti). This person is not bisexual or homosexual, but instead is a heterosexual with a Joy-crush. You can recognize a Lenzbian by these key factors: You live on Joypiter. You know exactly what someone is talking about if they use the term Lenzbian, Joypiter and Joie's sexy dance. You attempt to try and sing along to Joie's songs even if you know your doing a half ass job at it. You begin or end every sentence with 'Joy'. When a teacher is asking you questions on your homework you just look and say Joy. You answer every question on a test with one of the following: Joy, Joie, Bethany, Lenz, Lenzbian, Joypiter, Bette and so on.

I want to thank Shanna and Sam for helping me with arts and Shanna for the awesome soundtrack! I also want to thank Jo for the amazing poem she wrote and all the posters here at Bethany Joy's board as well as all the friendships we have formed over the years! I hope new people will show up and I hope the old will stick around. I love this board so very much and it has been my home on Fanforum since day 1. And to Joy, who is an amazingly talented woman of so many different talents. She is wise beyond her years and I really feel fortunate to be a fan of her. So here is to 5 years (WOW!!!) and many more years to come!
