Cutting and pasting my experience as I shared it that wonderful day of July 9th (or early that morning) OK so it's 218 am, I've been up 20 hrs, out in 110 degree heat most of the day.... my feet are killing me.... WARNING WARNING WARNING: Picture may get posted where Rosequeen looks like the wicked witch mellllllllllllllllllllllllllting!!!!! None the less once again I ventured into the land where "troubles melt like lemon drops!" OK 1st! We all met and convoyed about 6 cars over to the Arco. The security lieeeeeeeeeeeeeed so bad!!! One I made look me in the face and say I promise... I will say, He (Amos) couldn't do it. Anyway we ran back and forth, back and forth, from where they told us we had to be, to where we saw the buses. Finally everyone was running and I went with them back toward the buses. Brook was out and she was a sweetheart. Kristy behind her, David Cook was taking his time and not moving down to quickly when............... THE DREADHEAD APPEARED. Well the crowd went WILD, chanting Jason, Jason, Jason. I think he was taking pictures of us. David went over to him and then Jason came over. When he got to me I asked him if he remembered me from Texas..... he looked me right in the eyes, flashed a big grin and said "I do remember you!". So yeah there is this picture (hopefully I can massively photo shop first, haha,) very close up and I have my head on his shoulder and I'm like "ahhhhhh my Jason" just sooooooooooo happy!!!! OK so by then I had to get out of the crowd because I just thought I was gonna pass out. (maybe that's why I look like that in the picture? yeah yeah that's it!) OK so I went back to the car, got lots of water and my mist bottles. As people came out I invited them into the mist and as they Thanked me told them I was just spreading the "Jason Love", They came out of the mist refreshed claiming "We love Jason!" ah ha, it was magic mist!!! OK.... So CaJasonFan, Overstung and I had meet and greet passes to get Jason his camera from the JMS thread. That line moved QUICKLY! I was still way back in line when Jason saw me, flashed the biggest "I KNOW YOU SMILE", that I will never forget and waved. Time out to tell you Archie is a sweety and loves Jason. He was first in the line and told us he loves to see Jason fans shirts because they were the best, always different, then he says "I like Jason". It was so sweet and sincere. Personal opinion I think Jason is great for Archie and he's glad for the friendship. OK so now we are getting closer to Jason, he's about in the middle. CaJasonfan is talking to him but I can't hear what she is saying, I have the camera recording (it's uploading now), All I could think of was ... Sooner told me MAKE SURE he knows Stephanie sent it, because she was worried he gets so many gifts it would end up in a pile with all the rest. You will see in the video he loves it. As I got closer I gave him our Sacramento collage photo I'd made and he really liked it. On the back was a letter to him and in the envelope was Simon & Garfunkel and Jelly Bellies! After the meet and greet we were able to tailgate about 1 hour before it was time to go inside and enjoy an Awesome show!! They were all real good, but Jason................. Well Jason. even Cook couldn't find a word to describe how FabAweTastic he is!!!!! OK so yeah I have no clue how that call in stuff went, sorry if I screamed in your ears. I will find out tomorrow. *lol* oh wait, no today!, ok I'm off to bed with visions of sugar plums dancing in my head!!! It's not available yet but this should be the address once it gets clearance. If not just search rosequeen49 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICQ3AN6paMYEdited to say after the concert we went to the buses and saw him AGAIN!! So yeah today was jackpot. 2 pictures, 1 video (then clips from the group number) 10 -20 or so solo pictures. Look forward to more later as well as THE SACTOWN AWESOME DREADHEADS TAILGATE PARTIERS! OK reallllllllllllllllllllllllly going to bed or passing out where I sit!

I never really posted my experience on the Sacramento threads at DDB because everyone had done it and I thought maybe they will be tired of all the stories but since there are very few that posted here, I thought I would do it. Well, Rosequeen was right, it was a crazy day but the day started at the meeting place which is in front of the Starbucks by Safeway. When I got there, the rest of the Dreadies were about to leave. I got there in time....Saw Maggiee for the first time and recognized Rosequeen from her AVI. Met Overstrung (Kitty) and a bunch of sweet ladies...Amasetta (Emily the Uke Lady) and all others. We got the Arco Arena and they told u to all leave...Well we were hard headed and we did not. A bunch of us and Archies stayed behind. Rose was right when she said Amos lied to us. We almost tied him up and gagged him but we thought in light of representing Jason fans, we better be nice. We chanted Jason Jason Jason when Rose said we had to....We were holding up signs of the letters of the word D R E A D H E A D. We took pictures, we hung out but when the buses finally came, it was like a pandemonium....we all started running from one end of the arena to the other and when we started to gather up our letters got jumbled up and down and I think we spelled Dreadheads like this...D E E D H A D A S. Well, I think Jason probably thought we can't spell. But Maggie saved the Day....Her huge Dreadhead caught Jason's attention and thus, he takes a picture of us taking a picture of him. After meeting Jason and taking a picture with him, I was exhausted, tired and hungry. My sugar level was so low, I was about to become hypoglycemic so I went with a bunch of Dreadheads to eat and then when we returned to the venue, it was time to go inside and wait for the concert to stop. Before hand, we had to take one more picture. My sister and I took this carrying nothing but Jason's poster... The night was young when the concert ended but I did not stay to meet Jason again because I have met him two days in a row. I got my autograph and took my picture. I want the other fans to have some time with him. I went home with a smile on my face. Thanks for reading #thWooHoo2#

OK, I'm gonna bring some history over here, too. Good idea, Rose. Just cause that day was so special for all of us! ************** from July 10, 2008 Calgal: ************** Sacramento was so wonderful!! Thank you RoseQueen, Serene and all of you for making it such a blast. One long party, from early morning stalking, to heat-of-the-day with Jason, the concert, then the midnight stalking party! You guys rock. I'll share my pic with Jason just because it's such a good one of him (thank you Victoria and Em!!): and this picture which I just love. Not only is his bowleggedness in full display, but he was so cute in going "Waaaaa" when he couldn't get everyone's requests straight as they were yelling at him. And I just love this one that I snapped (gaga over the dreads):

bringing one more story over for historical purposes, then I'll stop. But this was one of my favorite memories of Jason.
****************** from July 2008, calgal: ******************
In the night stalk (after the concert) there were way more fans than the day stalk (1000 or more) and they were for all different Idols as far as I could tell. The guards had temporary security fences (little 3 ' high ones) lining the one block of street in front of the buses - so it was a closed-in rectangle about 50 yards long. We all lined it about 4 people deep. So when an Idol came out, there was no way they'd make it around to everyone without spending hours. So it was like the lottery, if you were within + or - 10 yards of wherever the Idol decided to stand, you got lucky. So MJ, Sy, Rami, and the others came strolling out one-by-one and picked a spot. Those not near them were left with little hope other than to lean over the rails and scream and plead for some drastic change of course.
Then there's Jason.
He comes running out of the door, tennis shoes and manpris and all, obviously amped up on the adrenoline from the concert. The fans go crazy. He speeds to the center of the rectangle and screeches to a halt. The fans right in front of him go nuts, thinking he's heading their way. So he smiles, hunkers down and does this football-like body fake to the left a couple steps. The fans downstream to the left go nuts. Then he reverses and takes a couple running steps to the right. Those fans go nuts. Then he smiles and walks up to the fans in the center. Lucky lotto bas tards.
But Jason's not done.
He stays there about 10 minutes, then wheels around, dreads almost whipping and picks a random spot on the other side and runs diagonally across to that spot. The fans go wild and he hangs there for a few minutes. Then he wheels around and runs to another spot. I mean, every eye was on Jason to see where he would go next. All the other Idols just blithely worked their way down one line, hardly looking up. Jason was a human pinball machine. The boy was having fun and spreading the love to all his fans. It is during this time that I won the lottery and he zig-zagged near me, worked his way to me and I got the picture. But it didn't come out and we realized it when he was zigging across to another side. That's when he heard us scream "Jason! It didn't come out" and he stopped, wheeled around, came back, came to a tennis shoe screeching halt as he stuck his head over my shoulder and we took another picture (my avi now). Then he was off to his original zig-zag destination. All you can do is watch in awe and love him. --

Me, my mom, and little sister the morning of the concert So, okay so it was an early morning for all. I thought to myself that I should look nice since pictures would be taken. . yeah. . stupid idea. . all makeup melted off the minute I stepped out of the car, and my hair was wet and frizzy. Yum. So that was kinda depressing. So the first Jason encounter was so great, I was the second person he said hi to! He looked at me and was like, "hi, that is some shirt." and I said "thanks I made it", and he said, "that is so cool". So I had him sign it, and he also thought it was a great idea that I brought a fabric marker. Kudos to me and my fabric marker. Here is the shirt signing. . . Then we took a picture together. . And one from another angle. . Then I proceeded to stalk him down the line, and take a million pictures. You already saw those though. It was funny cause he kept looking at me like I was crazy cause I was just clicking away. And. . i might have ruined someone's picture because he was looking at my camera. . sorry.. Then as he was saying goodbye (This might be just my delusion. . but I'm okay with that) and he was like looking around at everyone and then I was kinda in the clear spot with not a lot of people around me, and he looked at me, smiled and I said "Thanks Jason!", and then he waved, and I waved back. Let me tell you, I'm a fairly mature person, and by no means boy crazy, I never have been. But Jason Castro brings out my inner jr. higher. I still haven't decided if that is a good thing. Then it was after the concert (Jason had an AMAZING performance btw) and we were waiting by the buses and there was all this security and so we knew they would be coming out. So I called Rickey because he told me to if I was going to stalk again. So we were waiting and waiting, and some of them finally come out. First it was Syesha. . and she doesn't like Rickey. . so that was kind awkward. BUT THEN, Michael Johns came and talked to him, and literally sang Bohemian Rhapsody two inches from my face. I know that we all like Jason, but that was still really cool. UHhmmm. . . everyone was super nice, and I would re-cap them all, but I doubt you care, and if you really want to know you can just listen to the cellcast. Jason! So he came around, and was super nice to Rickey, and I'm pretty sure he recognized me from early in the day. . .and probably thought I was insane for being there for 12 hours. So we took another picture with him! And that was my best day ever.

Here is my recap I posted over at Castrocopia after the concert. . . WOW! What an amazing day!! Sorry we are so late sharing, we left Sac at 12:15 and in my Jason stupor, I missed my exit and it took me way too long to get home. So we are just getting up and going. We got to the Arco arena at 11:45. We were with a group of dreadheads. We "pretended" we were going to buy tickets because the only reason you are allowed on the property before 5 pm is to go to the ticket office. There were some Archies and Cook fans there too. We were told probably a hundred times by security that we MUST leave the property, our cars would be towed, etc. Everyone just stayed put and wore the security down. They did shuffle us back and forth from where the buses were and where they wanted us to be. There were a couple of false alarms (idols showing up) we ran back and forth through the 120 degree parking lot several times. Here are my girls after a couple hours there. . . not knowing if we'd ever see Jason: So we were on the other side of the parking lot, waiting where we were told, all of a sudden we heard the news that the idols were there. . . we RAN (again) to the buses. This is what we saw and for all we knew (considering what the security guards had been telling us) would be all we would get: Jason is a tiny speck there. But it was amazing anyway. Then. . . They actually came out to greet us. . . sweaty, sunburned, heat exhausted as we were. They love their fans. It was so hot out there. . . they were tired. . . but they came!

a bunch of dreadheads and i went to arco arena in sacramento to wait for the tour buses to come with hopes of meeting jason castro. cook came out first with brooke and kristy lee. we asked david to bring jason out. david smiled and said something along the line, 'let me check my jason castro gps to know where he is'. jason came out to greet us shortly thereafter. it was smoldering hot and he was there for over 1/2 hour signing autographs and taking pictures. i got my picture taken and my shirt autographed. hugged and touched him. yes, i do understand what happiness is now:-) the boy was absolutely beautiful. he's more beautiful in person if at all possible. when you see people on tv, you have the lighting, the make-up to make them look more attractive. under the glaring sun, with sweat glistening his skin, he still looked the epitome of beauty. it was amazing. the concert was pretty good. had to sit through some sets that i didn't care for. michael johns went home too early. he was really, really good. moving forward several performers, jason was amazing as usual. i've been a fan of justin timberlake for 10 years and i have never screamed as loud or as much for justin as i had for jason tonight. the only disappointment for me was that jason's set was too short, only three songs, and he whipped through the three songs really quickly. i don't know if he wasn't too comfortable with the limelight or what not. we screamed for him long and loud, before, during, and after each song, but as a true a musician that he is, he just went about playing his music and singing his heart out. love all three songs. he sounded great on all the songs. i think i prefer the acoustic version of 'crazy' more. i think jason stripped down (the music not the clothes) is the best when you can hear the raw emotions of his voice. he was still incredible. archuleta went on stage and stretched out his four song set to over 1/2 hour just standing there, basking in all the glory. i know he's just a kid, but i was yelling for him to get on with the show b/c at this point, the only thing i was waiting for is the final group performance so i could see jason one last time. all and all, it was a wonderful experience. can't wait for the solo tour now.

We got there at 3 so we missed them. *tear* but I wasn't giving up! I knew I was gonna get a hug from him! My twin sister and I had 10th row seats on the floor. We were 2 seats away from right in front the little catwalk. Since I knew he was gonna move to the front of the catwalk during Daydream, I asked the guy who was directly in front if i could stand in front of him. I was surprised nobody was standing up there at all. I mean HELLO!!! JAson was like 2 feet away. So anyway, he said of course!!! I was so happy. I was shaking and in complete awe of being directly in front of him!!! So jason is singing Daydream, which is my FAVORITE song of his, and he looks down at me!!!!!!! He made eye contact with me for what felt like a good 10 seconds! OMG!!! And the best part was he was singing the line "I'm dreaming bout my bundle of joy" **HEAVENNNN* he was so cute and he was doing this eye brow thing where it was like he was saying "what's up?" with his eyes! BeAutiful! And smiling AT ME!!! Even thinking about it right now I could feel it all over again! Then I was screaming like crazy! I look over at my sister and she and everyone was like "OMG! he was looking right at you!" Then the guy who I asked if I could stand in front of tapped me on the shoulder and said he would take a picture of me, so jason culd be in it too! So he did, and the picture is so GOOD! Once Jason was done, I told my sister "THESE $500 TICKETS WERE TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!! lol
Then we come to after the show. Well I knew they were doing the signing after so I left during David cooks last song so i could get outside ASAP! There were only like 10 ppl there, but right when the show ended hundreds of people started to come out and were pushing us against the baracades! BUT I WAS NOT GONNA BUDGE FOR THEM! Finally Jason came out! But he went to a different area to sign! So all the other idols were ciming by and I'm still screaming for Jason. Then when David cook comes to me, I said to him "I know this may sound kind of wierd, but can you get Jason to come over here?" He looked at me kinda mad, cuz hello he was the winner! But he said "i'll try" I'm a fan of cook's too, dont get me wrong, but I had to hug JASON!!!!!! plus I had already seen Cook twice.
So Jason finally comes over to me, and i could not even talk! I was like in shock. But somehow I managed to hug him, even though I wanted to kiss him badly!! So he took a picture with me and my sister. BUT I really wanted one of just me and him so i could put it on my myspace. So I am walking down the side of the baracade and to get to him again, BUT My CAMERA WAS ACTING DUMB!! I COULDN"T TAKE ANY PICTURES! I probably attempted to take like 10 pictures with him, at different times. I was almost to tears when a girl was like "Don't worry I'll take it for you and I'll email it to you" I was like THANK YOU!!!! So we finally got it! i was so happy but at the same time embarrassed because of all the times I tried to take it. But then it just meant i got to be on his side that many more times So it worked out! The girl emailed me the pic like 2 hours later so i was HAPPy! I put it up on my myspace, and then my friend posted a comment saying that he and look like a cute couple!!! OMG!!! Did I say I am engaged? Probably not! Because when i think or hear or see Jason i honestly forget that I am , or that he has a girlfriend! Sorry Mandy! My fiance thinks its funny about my obsession with Jason, but he is fine with it.
And that was experience with jason!!!
Now I am going to fly to Tulsa to go see him again!

It's short and sweet, but here's my story! Well, I didn't go before the concert, for various reasons, but I think healthwise it was best that I didn't even though I missed all the excitement! I probably would have been unconscious before the concert even started! I did get to see him on Tuesday though (see SJ thread) and again after the concert. I gave him a letter for a friend, and got autograph for her. Then, I told him I gave him the bracelet on Tuesday and he said, "Which one?" I said, "The Jeremiah one." He said, "Oh, cool!" and I said, "Did you like it?" He said, "Yeah, I liked it! Thanks!" Then, I got my picture with him. I'm working on getting all my pictures uploaded to Photobucket soon! The concert was beyond amazing. Everyone was so great and Jason was just...there are no words really! My best friend has a great David Cook story, so if there are any DreadNerds here, you can PM me and I might be able to get her to post somewhere or something. So, that's my story! Not as exciting as some, but amazing nonetheless. How adorable was Jason running towards us? He is the most fantastic person...so kind and generous to his fans. I was also laughing when I saw the pre-concert pictures, because his shoes were untied on Tuesday too! Lol I did want to tell you guys that when I gave out my CDs, people were so grateful and so excited! They thought is was fantastic that we were doing that. One woman looked like she might cry, she was so excited! smg.photobucket.com/albums/v648/keahgirl8/Sac%20AI%207%209%2008/ The password is castrofan.

So it started out on Tuesday with me convincing Lorena (Justalurkerrr) to come to sacramento with us. she finally gets tix like the day before the show and im excited! the group of us was hugeee! So we get to the Arena at noon and the guard says they wont let us on the premises until 5pm yuck concidering there is no chance to meet him at that time! SO dreadheads do not take no for an answer, so we all set up shop at the other entrance where the box office is and that part is open but only to buy tickets. I get there and meet all the other sac dreadheads! these ladies are soo awesome! definatly made the day awesome! So rosequeen pulls me aside and tells me that she has meet and greet passes for me, her and overstrung!!! im like "OMG, OMG" she said its coz I have to be the one to give him the JMS camera!!! im like soo freakin excited!! As this is going on im like texting back and forth with Liss (xoxo) about whats going on with the camera when we are giving it and so on. The security was kicking us off the property because they were worried about "fainting and liability"...which makes sense considering it was 110 degrees and hazy because of the Northern CA wildfires. So we spent from 12-2 running across the parking lot from one place to another because the security guy said he would have the idols come to the place in front of the arena and not the place by the buses. We knew that they would be by the buses! i mean WE KNOW, those people are the arenas dont know anything...so dont take their advice lol. as me and lorena are talking back from the front of the arena because we just dont trust this secutiry guy we hear screaming. so we start RUNNING haha!! then we see the idols coming out of buses and omg it was soo much fun!!! took some awesome pantz pics and asked jason to give a shout out to JMS! i asked him if he would take a picture with me and my sign it said "Dreadheads (heart) the PANTZ" and Jason reads it and goes "THE PANTZZZZ" hahahaha!! so we take our pic and then me and lorena just start taking photos and videos! We go into the box office to get some AC, and get ready for meet n greet. im so excited. As i was sitting there the meet n greet security guy comes up and says "whats in the box"? it was the camera and he grills me and rosequeen for like 5 mins on why we as fans are giving it to him and not his manager sooner. finally i just say "coz its special if we get it" and he goes "thats what i was looking for" im like uggh ok! we get in meet n greet and archie looks up at me and starts laughing....it was awkward so then i say "sooo hows CA treating you" haha he says "its been great...(giggle)" im like "whats soo funny" and he just says "i love jason, that guys great" (he was referring to my dreadhead tshirt). im like oook so my picture is just sliding down the line, i cant talk to anyone and then i stop to give Jason the camera i say "this is from stephanie" he grabs it and goes "stephannieee" and im like "yeah its a JMS camera for you to do your vlogs with" he like (actually i cant remember his expression but he was like surprised) he starts rummaging through the box and we get a "pic" which we were taking a video of the whole thing since no videos were allowed, sneaky sneaky...haha. So after that Me and Lorena go and get In N Out and go to the show. (before i forget Sherry had some extra tix and since Lorena was sitting by herself i convinced Lorena to let us just take sherry's extra tickets, WELL those seats wound up being 4th row center on floor!! thanks SHERRY ;D ) After the concert we go around to meet them again, i was doing the after concert feed so i didnt really get to do much after the show. but i did talk to this lady she was a mom, who was in loove with jason. id say in her 40s and she said her daughters got her a Jason Castro Thong hahaha and that she wanted to Jason to sign it (she was kidding about the autpgraph) and it was soo halarious though, when jason comes by the lady goes "Jason, come to mamma" and jason looks up at her and OMG it was soo funny! the expression on his face was priceless Jason kept avoiding me and Lorena, i think it was because he had seen us soo much already but lorena finally got a good pic with him! so yeah thats my story! thanks to all the Sacramento Dreadheads for making this such an awesome day! This is Emily (Amsetta's) uke she got, Jason started playing the first chords of SOTR No idea whats in the Whataburger wrapper SWEATY Jason... HOTTTTT ( i mean Jason not the weather )
