He was really sweet with her too, just before the picture, Gloria moved a strand of hair from her face (it escaped the the headband. FYI-Mackenzie is the female version of Dennis the Menace) And Jason said to her "You're starting to look like me" Awww, he is so sweet to everyone, especially when you see him with the kids, it melts your heart.
Paula~thanks, she was so thrilled to see him. When my oldest and I went to Philly we got her the AI bear that they sell and he signed the back for her and she hasn't put it down since (that was the middle of August) and he gave her a 2 second shout out that I recorded, she sat in front of the computer and played it over and over again. So we made the AI bear a dreadhead t-shirt and he signed that for her.
Now she really wont put it down. I had to promise that when Jason does his solo tour that I would take her (and my grandma always said 'you break your neck before you break a promise' so I guess her and I are going:)

Debi I'm so glad I was there to help your daughter get up close enough to meet Jason. He really was so sweet and patient for her. You can see a tear left under one of her big blue eyes in that pic, awwwe.
I didn't get a chance to get any personal time with Jason there at Bridgeport but that's ok and at least I had another chance in RI the next day

Ok, I am so sorry that I am posting way after the day but I just haven't had the time and I got home late from work again .. so.. here goes.
Making it short and sweet (or as much as possible LOL)
Like everyone else already said, it was awful the way they planned out the place where the artists met the fans. Actually, one of the AI security people told me that they were upset with the venue for putting it in such a small area and that at night it would be moved to the other location which would have made more sense. The night got canceled because it had started to rain and the police told us it was canceled and to "move on".
I just wanted to say here, ummmmmmmmmmm Michael Johns sang 4, 4, 4, 4, songs on his own. What's with that? ok, moving along...
But, during the day I had some good things to report, not all -- but some.
First and foremost, it was good to meet all the other DH's that were there. Even though we were positioned in our specific spots for fear of losing a place in the crowd, it was great to be able to meet friends and be there to support our boy.
A little bit about my mission: As you may all know, my relationship with Christ is very special to me. I am not "religious" but Jesus is the core of my being. So, that being said, God has shown me over and over again how important it is to trusts His ways and not my own. So, talking to Him is part of my relationship and praying for those you care about is very important. A number of women have joined together to pray to "cover" Jason and his family, and the other artists, in prayer for certain things. It is a commitment and it is something that we believe is extremely important.
Part of our commitment was also to let the artists know that they were being supported spiritually as well as careerwise, so on this tour they were given messages of that love and commitment. By the time the CT show came about, there were still some messages to be delivered and God allowed me to deliver some of them, but not all.
One of the most precious things for me is when I asked Chikeze if I could pray for him, he pulled me close -- cheek to cheek-- and hugged me really tight. We prayed for about 2 minutes or more and when we were done, he acknowledged it and took his towel and dried my cheek saying he was sorry that he got his sweat on me. This guy has a very precious heart and .. he also loves the dreadheads!
In fact, they all do and you will have to visit the RI thread to find out more about what the other artists said about us LOL
So, for the other stuff, I was about 5 people deep and squooshed and smelled a lot of armpits of taller people that had their arms raised trying to hold up signs or pass over things to the artists. When Rami got her little bag (and it was her bday), she said "thank you" to the girl who was able to pass it to her for me. The girl said, "it isn't from me it is from another woman"
Rami said "who is this from?" and the crowed "parted" and she and I had direct line of communication.
I said "The gift is from a group of women around the country who are praying for you and wanted to send you some love". We had a little bit more interaction and she looked me straight in the eye and said "Thank you so much" with much feeling.
Jason came and I was 5 people deep. There was this sweetheart of a young woman, a Cookie, named Jessica who was taller and handed my picture over to him for him to sign for me. It also had a note I had written to him on the postcard I didn't mail. He signed and gave both back so I quickly took the postcard and said, "no that is for you". He took it and I think that he read it because in RI he recognized me.
Jason made a doubleback to the beginning of the crowd again after the Cookie's in front of me left so i was able to get up front. I did not want to push my way in front of the little girls that were there and so I just stood there and filmed him. He was very attentive to everyone he spoke with and he was extremely caring with the children. In a nutshell, he was the precious Jason that we have come to know and love -- sharing the love of Christ in his heart which Jason pours out on everyone. He has a very sweet and loving spirit.
I found this video, it isn't Jason, it is Cookie receiving a gift Glotrovato gave to him from all of the DH's.

I need to add here, thank you Jason for being the vehicle that has allowed me to meet wonderful people who have become special friends
and Orit, I am glad your trip to America has been filled with so many wonderful memories!

Kiersten,
Glad you and your daughter got to see Jason again...LOVE YOUR PICTURES AND YOUR COMMENTS!!!! I almost went yesterday since my daughter's soccer game got cancel at the last minute at Rocky Hill (don't know what was up with that since it didn't rain for hours after that)... My husband told me to go, but I had a wisdom tooth pulled on Friday and still wasn't feeling too great... My daughter was upset when she found out that Chikezie, Ramiele and David C. camed out since those were the only 3 that didn't sign her shirt. After I read your review and saw your pictures, I sure wished I would have gone. Couldn't go today because of another soccer game Still haven't posted my pictures...but you are not missing much...yours are much better... Guess we will have to wait til Jason does his own concert...hopefully somewhere near by and SOON...
It would have been fun to have you there, but it was much more hectic than Hartford and I'm afraid your daughter would've been squished! It was very unorganized. Feel free to order some of my pic in my photobucket account if you want to....I'm ordering some from my friends camera too!
See you at the next Jason concert in CT!
Kiersten, I'm sure we will be at the next Jason concert in CT!!!! Hope it is soon. My five year old son really wants to meet Jason to.

Hey I noticed that Jason is wearing the black shirt instead of his normal white tee & jacket. What was up with that? Did he wear the black shirt and vest for PDSTM? Or was this the concert where he wore the white tee with the vest for the last number? Wonder what happened to his jacket??? I also notice that Carly changed her outfit for PDSTM also?
