Ok, here's my story #thb05716a4# Sunday was the best day of my life! I arrived at the busses around noon. I met Linda (purrlycat1), Kali, Altrock4u, Gloria, and CathyAnne. There were a bunch of others but i don't know their names, which makes me feel bad since one of them was a big help to me with getting my picture with Jason. The busses arrived around 1:45 and Jason was the first we saw. The boy's bus pulled in and we saw dreads in one of the windows! One by one the idols got off the bus. We all screamed the second we saw Jason's white shoes step off that bus. He immediately went to the end of the line to start meeting fans. He had press, so he was in a hurry! When he got to our area, he went by so fast before I even had my chance to meet him. So another Dreadhead grabbed me by the hand and we ran to catch Jason. I asked Jason to take a picture with me. He tried to take my camera to take the picture but his hands were full of gifts so I took it. The first one didn't come out, and even though he was in a hurry, he said "let's try again" and the second one came out. #takepic# #thfaint-1# I went to the end of the line so I could try and have Jason autograph my sign, but every time I tried to hand it to him, someone hit it away. Then he had to leave to get to press. I went back to where all of us Dreadheads had gathered. Most of them had left to go home or go to lunch. My sister and I hung out and chatted with Linda (purrlycat1). Around 4:00 my sister looked like she was going to pass out. It was very hot. So I had to leave and take her for supper so she could cool down and eat. We got into the venue around 5:30. There were people there taking pictures of everyone. These pictures were later shown on the big screen before the show. While we were waiting for them to let us in and check our tickets, I met Evelyn (evecast). The show was amazing!! When Jason came on I was so excited. I had 4th row seats and he was literally like 10 feet away from me. During his last song, the people next to me (Cook fans) let me go by them and I stood right up against the stage! At one point during his guitar solo, Jason looked RIGHT down at me and smiled. I immediately thought of those Jonas Brothers lyrics "When you look me in the eyes, I catch a glimpse of Heaven". #105# Right in the middle of Cook's set my camera died, so I didn't get any pictures of the final group performance but it was amazing! Mavid sprayed soda everywhere so Jason had to run away and cover the dreads, it was so cute lol. #lol# Towards the end, Jason saw my sign. He was looking around, and he did sort of a double take when my sign caught his eye. He read it, then smiled and waved at me! #105# #thb05716a4# #thfaint-1# My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest! When he was walking off stage I screamed "JASONNNNNNNNNNNN". I know he heard me, because he turned back again and looked in my direction! #thyahoo# After the show I went back to the busses hoping to meet Jason again and have him autograph my poster, especially after he noticed it and obviously liked it during that last performance. But before he came out, my mom's friend (a.k.a Cranky Cook Fan), showed up and said she had to get up early so we had to leave. Evelyn (evecast) offered to take my sign and have Jason sign it for me. So I left it with her and we exchanged phone numbers, and I left. I got home around 11:15. Evelyn called me around 11:45 to tell me that she told Jason it was my sign and that I had to leave, and she told me Jason said "This is an awesome sign" and he signed it! #thyahoo# So I have to get on the phone with Evelyn and make plans to meet up with her some time soon to get my sign back So like I said before, yesterday was the BEST day of my life, and Jason is TOTALLY worth the sunburn and terrible headache I got!! And when he is off on his own tour, I will do it all over again! #thb05716a4# #thb05716a4# #thb05716a4# #thb05716a4# #thb05716a4# PICTURES: s337.photobucket.com/albums/n380/Proud2bDH2451/American%20Idol%20Live%20Tour%202008/This is my sign... I will take another picture when I get it back with his signature on it Oh and something I forgot to add: I don't know how, but I turned into someone completely different than I usually am yesterday. I am usually the extremely shy, self conscious, girl that doesn't talk much. Yesterday I felt so comfortable with everyone and I was way more chatty than I thought I would be. Then at the concert I didn't care what people thought about me at all, I was dancing and screaming and yelling. Now that I think back, im like wow was that really me, haha :-D

Providence Rocks! We had the best time ever! Our 3rd and forth row seats turned into front row! I enjoyed all the artist!. And for Jason's set I was the one foolishly clapping over my head for 10 straight minutes, beaming all the while. What a night! Hi to Jason4evermyidol, I'm the mystery lady who took your hand and ran with you. Your picture with Jason is fabulous! Plus you took so many great pictures of Jasons performance. I noticed his eyes were shut in like 90% of everyones pictures. I think he's learned to sing-nap! Hi to Altrock4u and Kali and Cathy from Maine, I am praying to Jesus to not hate you three. Jealousy is never pretty. Loved the castrocopia recap Cathy. (way-uhl) It was nice to meet you Kali. I hope you made it home safely. And Hi to marleysmom, lets plan that visit to NH ASAP. Got any plans next week? Beautiful boy! Here is My daughters recap of the day she's a DC/Jason fan , she had yesterday off to post a sensational report on the day! Plenty of Jason photos! www.david-cook.org/index.php?showtopic=13564

It was one of the most memorable nights of my life for sure!
First the concert: It was fantastic!!! I also saw the Idols in Worcester last month, but for some reason (maybe due to tour coming to an end), everyone sounded better to me this time. So much energy and terrific crowd enthusiasm as well. Kudos to the Idols -- great job by all! When Jason took the stage, I stood right up and I was the only one in my section standing, but I didn't have a care in the world! Some lady behind me told me to sit down by the time he started singing "Daydream." I wanted to tell her to take a hike, but I guess that would not have been very dreadhead-like, so I sat down. Jason sounded really really really fantastic. Hubby was in total agreement too.
Oh, one little side comment: during the finale, David Cook and Michael Johns (aka mavid) did this thing where they each picked up soda cans, shook them up, opened them and soda splattered all over them. It was really funny, and Jason was like, "hey, don't get me wet!" and was ducking for cover. So cute.
Ok, so after the concert, we wait to go into the after party. While we wait, we meet some really nice Archie fans. They had all become friends online and decided to meet up at this particular concert. One of them traveled all the way from Germany. Now, that's dedication! They were very nice and said they loved Jason too.
The Idol staff then bring us to this room where the after party is happening. So, we walk in and, BAM, there they are. Hubby spots Jason and brings me over to him. He has quite a line of ladies waiting to take pics, etc., so I just sort of stood off the the side waiting. Honestly, I was starting to feel nervous and shy, and I didn't want to be pushy. Hubby tells me to get in there before I lose my chance! So finally I walk up to him, say hello and hand him a letter from my 9 year old daughter. Like me, she is such a big fan of his and his music has inspired and motivated her in such a major way, and I tried to explain it all to him and express my gratitude, but I'm not sure if I made much sense...I could barely get the words out and my heart was pounding! He was so sweet, though, and was like "oh, that's awesome" (about my daughter), or something like that. Let me tell you, the man is absolutely beautiful in person. His eyes...my lord...the most beautiful shade of blue and super long eyelashes. (Hubby even thought he was good looking). So then we posed for a pic (I had my arm around him!)and then I took one of him with hubby. Then I thanked him and walked away because I didn't know what else to say. So, then I took some pics of hubby with Kristi Lee Cook, Rami, and Michael Johns. I didn't get any pics of myself with anyone else...and that was fine. Then I look back over at Jason and his line had dwindled down, and I'm thinking I should ask him for an autograph. So, I go back over there and he signs my Idol program, and I want to say something, but I'm at a complete loss. So, then as I start to leave, I turn around and tell him that he sounded wonderful at the show tonight and he said, "oh, thanks so much!" Such a nice person!
I also had the opportunity to meet Kali, Altrock4u, Cathy and some other dreadheads! Everyone was so nice! It was definitely a night I will never forget!
I have not been able to sleep since coming home because I am too wound up! My hubby is the best for coming with me and being so supportive of my Jason obsession. He's one in a million!
Aaahhh! So, that's my story!
p.s. Oh, that autograph I got was for my daughter, so while she's at school, I'm having it framed, and I cannot wait to surprise her with it when she comes home!

Ok!! So, here we go!
I get up at (not even) the crack of dawn to catch my bus to Boston South Station. Srsly, y'all, it was still DARK out when I left Portland. I get to Boston and grab the train to Providence. The forecast called for nasty weather. It was not. It was beach weather. Beautiful city.
I get to my hotel around 9:40 and drop off my luggage. PurrrlyCat and I shared a room, but made it to the hotel at different times. I went straight to the bus stalking. At this point there are only about 15-20 people there. PurrrlyCat showed up a few minutes later. We found each other right away! Hee!
It didn't take long for a good hundred people to gather. Altrock calls me and I tell her how many people are there. She and Kali got their butts there and they stood with me and Purrrly. A BLAST, let me tell you. There are pictures floating around of us, I'm sure.
So...
Then THE buses arrive. They sorta stopped right in front of us, and I see this shadowy profile. I look intently and the person turns their head. I saw dreads swing! So I waved. LOL
Thankfully, Jason was like the 3rd one out of the bus. We all screamed. He smiled and waved, of course. We were right in the middle of the line, so it took him a bit to get to us, but not long.
So, I'm around a lotttt of Dreadheads and Castrocopians and Castronauts!. The AI people were rushing him, so I didn't get to say anything to him other than:
Me: Can you take a picture of (the two of) us? Jason: Want me to take it? Me: Yes, please. *smiles* Jason: Suuuure.
He clicks the camera. He's not sure it worked.
Jason: Oops. Let me try again. Ready? Me: Yup! (Actually, it was more like "Yut!" because I didn't stop smiling for fear of ending up with one of those half smiling/half talking faces. You know what I mean.) I ended up with TWO pics because of that! Squee!
He looks at it, shows it to me, says it's good, as usual! I say "Thanks Jason." He says, "You're welcome" and continues down the line. He was really being rushed, but he still paused longer for all us Jason fans.
PurrrlyCat she made a teeeensy Flat Jason and she gave it to him to sign. He thanked her and TOOK IT. HAHAHAHA
As Jason was leaving to go inside, I got THE SWEETEST shot of him waving goodbye. (Pictures are coming.)
Ok, so, showtime!
The other idols play - intermission that lasts way too long, thennnn....JASON!!! WOOOOO!!!! Again, the screams for him are deafening and, for the first time at THIS show, everyone is on their FEET! Jason sounds beautiful and his songs all lasted LONGER than they have at shows past. His set is SO short compared to the others. I think someone in the AI crew finally got a clue and let him slow the songs down a smidge. THANK YOU.
During his little Daydream mosey, I'm pretty sure I got a wave from him. I was in the section next to the stage, in the SECOND ROW, and I had Flat Jason with me. By this time, everyone around me was sitting. I waved and held up Flat Jason and that's when he smiled and waved. I'm just going to pretend he was waving at me, even if he wasn't. lol
Jason was really cute during PDSTM. He made a clenched-teeth face at someone, maybe Kristy? I can't remember. He was having fun, though.
So, I had an After Party pass again. There were a LOT of people there this time! I walk into the After Party room and find Jason immediately. I stand next to Altrock and Kali and wait (sort of) patiently while he talks to other fans. He looks at Kali and Altrock and goes, "Heeyyy!"
The other fans go away and the girls (Alt/Kali) started talking to him. No clue what you said to him girls, sorry. LOLOL! And, just a warning, these conversations that I'm going to talk about - they're going to seem all over the place because that's how I remember it. lol
I said, "Are you still sick?" He said, "Nope!" (and then something else that I couldn't hear) I said, "Good, I'm glad to hear that!"
-more Kali/Alt/Jason chatting- (Alt/Kali I'm just gonna let you fill in those blanks cause I can't remember!!)
Then then Kali/Alt ask me to take a picture of the 3 of them. I got handed 2 cameras, looked at them (the cameras) like omg, what do I do? Did this hands-are-like-a-scale-with-cameras-in-them thing, and went "ahh!" And Jason laughed. hee hee I set one camera down and got in place to take the pic. And you've seen the pic. hee hee hee
I said, "You girls are gutsy!" Jason said, "YEAH, they are!" And we all laughed. It was SUCH a cute/nice/funny little moment!
I grabbed the other camera and took the same pic. The girls talked to him some more and then each gave him a hug. I told myself that this was my last chance to ask for a hug, so I better do it.
I said, "Can I have one, too?" lol He said, "Yeah you can!"
AND OMGGGGGGGGG. HE GIVES THE BEST HUGS!!! I was in heaven. There are no words. We both did this one-arm-up-one-arm-down hug thing. lol He squeezes so tight! He hugs like he means it, and it's the sweetest thing.
I said, "Good luck with everything, you're going to do awesome." He said, "Thank you."
-more Alt/Jason talk-
At some point, he said some totally random thing that I can't remember, but he looked at me when he said it. I responded, but I have no idea what I said. hahahaha
So then more fans approached Jason and we got out of the way. But, there was this awesome longgg black table against the wall, so Alt sat her cute little butt on it, as it was right behind/to the side of Jason! I plopped myself down right next to her on the table.
Every time there was a lull, Jason turned and talked to us! And it was GREAT! He was actually RIGHT NEXT TO me, like less than a couple feet, when he would turn and talk to us. He kept using the table space next to me to sign things on. At one point, he actually came over and leaned his hind-end against the table so that we were side-by-side!
Girls, he was DATE NIGHT Jason that night. SO chatty, funny, comfortable, candid....it was great!!! Sadly, I can't remember everything. I'd say we spent a good solid 10 minutes talking with him between fans and everything.
At one point, he looks squarely at me, GRASPS his chest and scrunches up his face and says, "Ahhh. My chest hurts. Chest pains." I say, "Are you ok?!" He says, "Yeah, I'm fine. It just happens every once in a while." I say, "Well, that's not good!" He says, "It just goes away. It's fine now." I look at Alt and say, "CPR!!!" She smirks. heee heee. He says, "Nahhh, I'm fine."
Alt asks him if he got the bracelet she gave him. He says, "What did it look like? Was it leather? Did it have my name on it?" He touches the bracelets he's wearing as he's saying this, trying to get an idea what hers looked like. Then he teases her and says, "Do you know how many bracelets I get every day?" I say, "Yeah, he's got an arm full of 'em!" He says, "Yeah, I send a box home this big (makes box size with his hands) to my mom every week!" There was more to this conversation, but I can't remember it!
At another point, I say, "I have a question for you..." He says, "What's your question?" (hee) I say, "Does that Braggs Vinegar stuff really work on acid reflux? You know, that stuff your mom talks about?" He says, "You know, I couldn't tell ya. You wanna know why? That stuff is naaaasty." (LOL!!!) When he said, you wanna know why, I said, "Gross, huh?" I said, "Oh, well, I have wicked acid reflux, so I'll try anything." Then he said, realizing that I had a good reason for asking, "Actually, I've heard that it does work. People say it does. I just refuse to try it." I say, "Ahh. Can't say that I blame you."
(Please excuse the choppiness of how I'm writing this, it's just how I'm remembering it - in little bits and pieces.)
He gets more fans and signs/takes pics. Then he gets another lull in the signing and pic taking. He turns around, looks at me, and says..."Way-uhl" and nothing else. I look back at him, smile, and swing my legs out a little and say, "Way-uhl." back. LOL! I don't know where that came from. LOL
So then, he leans on the table right next to me again! He said something at this point, and I'm trying to recall it, but I don't remember! Oh! I think he started talking to Alt about something. He was leaning in a little towards her and right over me! ahhhh! lol I looked back and forth between them as they talked and he was just....RIGHT THERE. Ya know? I desperately hope pictures of these interactions surface somewhere!
At another point, I mentioned that he was drinking Poland Spring Water (from Maine) and gave him the thumbs up about it. He looked at it, puzzled, and looked at me like huh?
I said, "It's from Maine. I'm the girl from there who won't shut up about it every time I see you." lol He said, "Ohhh." lolol
I had Flat Jason with me and asked, "You're not tired of seeing this guy yet, are you?" He said, "Nooo, every time I see him it makes me laugh." Awwww. I said, "That's good."
At another point, he got a text. He was typing away and then went to send it. He looks at me and says, "Ahhh. No signal. Guess I'll have to send that later." I said, "Oh, that sucks."
Not long after that, he said, "Way-uhl, I better go outside and meet some people." We said, "Ok". I waved because I always wave, when saying goodbye. I don't know why. lol He said, "See you guys later!" I said, "Oh, yes....you will!" hahaha
This whole interaction wasn't all about me, and I hope it's not reading that way. It's just what my feeble brain could retain from that whole experience. There is more to do with Alt and Kali, for sure!
YAY!!!! I had the BEST TIME just chatting with him and feeling like he was an old friend. The hug was unbelievable. I STILL can't stop smiling!

Cathy, that was an awesome story! If there's one thing I regret, its not asking Jason for a hug. I wanted too, but I was too shy. I'm such a goober....LOL.

Thank you! I took up a lot of this page. Sheesh. lol
You are NOT a goober! I didn't dare ask him for a hug any of the other times I met him. This is was my 5th time "meeting" him (If you count the bus stalkings and the after parties as seperate times) and it took ALL my courage to do it then! I was too shy, too. The only reason I had the guts to do it in Providence is because Kali and Altrock warmed him up for me. hahaha

You are very welcome Amanda, I know how happy it made me when I got my hug and picture with Jason. Its a memory I'll keep for ever. I can be shy too, but when I saw the look on your face when you couldn't get through the 5 deep crowd to Jason, I had to do something. I feel really bad for anyone who went to meet thier idol Sunday or anyday, and then it didn't happen. Lukily Jason was still there and he didn't mind me interupting him. I basically told him he had to meet you and he smiled and said way-ul sure! Marleys mom took this georgeous picture. Its my new favorite!

Ok FINALLY............ I can post... work has been overwhelming .. Glotrovato and her friend and I decided to go to the "day" bus gathering after the artists did not come out at the CT show the night before. So Glo drove us up to RI. Thank you my DH sister! Quote from: kbkysun Today at DDB said... "Ok after Jason left Archie came by and I said Archie Dreadheads love you. He said I love Dreadheads too. You all are the funniest, nicest, most creative fans. I love how you always give gifts to all Idols and not just Jason. Take that TMZ." First I just wanted to comment on kbkysun's comment above. Thank you for posting that. David responded saying to to me saying "thank you for being so patient with us". Then he said, "thank you for being so good to us" and he proceeded to tell how the DH's are generous and givers etc. He also said we "are the BEST fans". Kali said, "what about your own fans? aren't they good?" LOL and then David said "oh, my fans are great to me, but the DH's are good to everyone and give gifts to all of us not just Jason" "We all love the DH's" I think that speaks VOLUMES of the example Jason has set for his fans and how his fans are givers! If you look at the link I put in the CT site, there is a video of David Cook receiving a gift from the DH's too (courtesy of Glo). He has received many from the DH's and I have seen him receive them and the others, so it is happening a lot. So, continuing on... We arrived and I got to meet Amanda, Atrock4u, Purrlycat, Cookie, Castroloco, and MadMadigan. THERE WERE SO MANY OF US THERE BUT WE WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND DIDN'T KNOW IT. I was on a mission.. if you read the CT show review you will read a little more about that.. I have a few more gifts to give that were a group effort. Part of that also was getting my shirt signed and that is the shirt Kali got the rest of the signatures on for me. "The prayer shirt" .. It was my shirt letting the artists know that they were being prayed for and is my reminder to continue to keep them covered in prayer. Thank you so much Kali! I LOVE THE RESPONSE TO MICHAEL JOHN.. because prayer does work, but some people think that God is their butler and that he does whatever they want Him to do. .. or they make a mess of things and ask God to then go and clean it up. I got to talk to Brooke and Carly about the gift bags they got the day before. I only had two more gift bags to give -- Syesha and MJ, but they never came out so I gave them to the security guard that goes to all the shows. When Jason came over to us I said "Dreadhead Section" and everyone in our section started screaming for him. He knew we were his team and he spent some extra time with us. He signed my shirt and we tried to take a picture. It was really packed and I had kids near me that I didn't want to step on or push so it was hard for me to get a picture with Jason and I tried leaning in but out of three cameras, only Altrock4u got one. Thank you .. though I look awful LOL. One that that was very sweet though was that Jason recognized me. He saw me and said "Hey!" -- maybe because I was at the buses the day before or maybe because I gave him a note the day before ?? dunno, but it was very nice. and then a bunch of us spent some time together. I enjoyed meeting my DH sisters and I know we will see each other for years to come at Jason's concerts. I also wanted to mention that I met "Linda" in the hotel in the computer center of the hotel the day before and we had a good time taking about our boy. Linda (not purrlycat Linda) finally did go to the RI show also, but I didn't see her there. I just wanted to say "Hi Linda" I am not promising video cause I am having video issues, but IF I can, I will post when I get the opportunity to convert my files and upload. Cathy, I am so sorry we didn't get to meet. I always love meeting "Cathy's with a C" maybe next time! Kali and Altrock4u... love love love the picture of you smooching on Jason and giving back some DH love.

Cathy Anne, did you get a video of the PDSTM performance? I've been trying to find one that is focused on Jason so I can show someone the exact part where he waves at me, but all the one's I have found are focused on the Davids or Michael

CathyAnne,
Hi! I'm pretty sure you were near me because I was standing RIGHT NEXT TO Altrock! I actually heard someone say "Cathy" and I looked, but they were talking to you. hahaa! We were right next to each other, basically, but didn't get to talk. Actually, I was about to say something to you at one point, but someone started talking to me and I got distracted. lol I love meeting other "Cathy with a C" 's too! hahaa Are you a Cathleen? I am, and people tell me that's an unusual spelling. I don't think it's so unusual. lol I'm sure there will be a next time!!! Can't wait to get an opportunity to meet ya!

Okay ya'll are gonna have to bear with me...I've been home less than 30 min after spending 24hrs in airports AARGH! As most (some) of you know this was a rather spontanious jaunt for me haha I'm odd like that!

He spent so much time at our area of the barricade and it was my duty to squish to the left and right getting as many castro chicks to the barricade as I could! I'm a good crowd shifter BWAH! He found Foamy Jason and signed it for bundleofjoy and said he had one (given in Atlanta) hanging over his bunk...then he held it up like a mask and started goofin! He was soo sweet. Trying to get everyone up to the barricade I knocked Altrocks water of the barricade and it hit the ground by Jason...he reached down and handed it back to her...She carried that durrn bottle all over Providence threatening to bronze it haha..no worries a few Mojitos later it got left on the restaurants table...whoops I digressed...Archie was next up Have I mentioned how much I love that Boy?

I swar he was just hanging a gabbing with us like he had no where to be....much to the chagrine of the rest of the line haha..but he made it all the way down with his wonderful smile on display. The Concert~ Don't remember much accept for the second half! I was doing the livefeed for Rickey (hope it was clear) I got told to quit waving foamy jason...quit dancin dang can't a girl have some fun?

Well, it sure seems like we all enjoyed the show and had a great time. I'm sorry now that I didn't do a better job planning to meet up with all the other DH's. I'm sure I would have enjoyed myself more. I went to the show with a girl I work with. She was looking forward to the concert but just couldn't wrap her head around the whole fangirl thing. She begrudgingly accompanied me to the busses--later than I wanted! (making fun of me the whole time!!). She basically stood in the back with the "other husbands"--on her cell phone getting updates on Tom Brady and the score of the Patriot's game. Thanks to the help of a couple fans in front of me who held onto my book and passed it up, I was able to get Jason's, Carly's, Brooke's and David A's autographs. I took photos OF them but not WITH them so I'm so jealous of those were able to meet and speak with the Idols; especially Jason. You're all so lucky and I thank you for sharing your stories. I've enjoyed all the recaps. Now--this is the part I like best. lol We left the bus area around 3:45 beacuse "friend" was hot, tired, her feet hurt and she wanted to see the end of the game. Grrrrr. As we were leaving we ran into this lovely older woman who I would estimate in her late 70's maybe early 80's. She asks me if David Cook has come out yet. I told her he hadn't and based on the time I didn't think he would. She said her daughter was really looking forward to meeting him and that they were looking forward to the concert that night. I said, "That's great your a Cook fan. Enjoy the show. My mother doesn't even know who David Cook is!" She looked right at my "friend" (who is 6 years older than me) and said, "You don't. Oh you should, dear. He's very good!!" "Friend yelled, "I am NOT her mother!" I'm still laughing over that!!! Other than seeing Jason in person--it made my day!!! ;D ;D ;D The show was great and I loved all the performances. Leaving the floor section I bumped into another girl wearing the same tour shirt as me (the blue one). I said, "Nice shirt." and smiled. As soon as she smiled back I thought--I know that face. It was Jason4EverMy Idol. Sorry sweetie, I couldn't come up with your name at the time--call it my Jason induced haze. lol I'm so glad to read that you had a great time and got to meet Jason. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet evecast as well. But something tells me that we'll all meet up again when Jason goes on tour. I'll be looking forward to that and to meeting you all then.
