hey! i am going to try to make this as short as possible..haha..anyway..my concert experience was amazing! it started out pretty much the same as everybody elses..my friends and i got to the venue at 11 and we waited for the buses to come. it was funny b/c we were just talking and all of the sudden we look down the street and there was a huge group of jason fans walking up, and everybody around me was like...omg are all those people for jason?...anyway like everybody said the buses came, and the idols started to come out and we got their signatures and pictures..and then jason!...he walked out, and my friends and i started to scream and wave our arms...i guess we picked the right side to be on, b/c he came straight for us. so we talk to him for a bit (im not really sure what all i said haha) and we got pics and his autograph. then he moved on and we talked to the other idols as they came our way. my friend really wanted to get a picture with jason, but she was getting pushed back by everybody, so she didn't get one, so after we got pictures and signatures of most of the idols, we ran over to where jason was--along the parking garage talking to the huge group of dreadheads. we waited for our turn for a picture and finally got it. we talked to him for a little longer and then i blurted out..can i have a dread(and i was totally kidding!!) and he thought about it and looked at me and was like...i dont think i can do that..and i said well, what about backstage passes...and he said...now that is something i can do!!!...i was in shock! and my friend was about to cry..so he gets our names, and goes inside. we went union station to cool off and eat, adn we went back to scottrade center around 5. i decided not to get my hopes up b/c a lot of people probably asked for passes, and it wouldnt happen, but i went up to the window to check...adn there was an envelope with 3 passes in it for my friends and i! we were sooo shocked and excited. So we went to the concert, and it was amazing..i was surprised at how good everybody sounded. and jason was incredible(as usual!). anyway after the concert, we went into this room with about 80 other people and all of the idols. we wanted to get pictures with everybody and we wanted them to sign our shirts, so we went in the door and saw jason, but he was talking to peope so we decided to talk to ramiele. while we were talking to her, i felt a hand on my shoulder and i turned around and jason was standing right there and said...im glad everything worked out to come back here! (i was sooo surprised that he came up to us and remembered us) so we thanked him over and over, and talked to him for about 10 minutes. he was really sweet and nice! after that, we gave him a hug and thanked him again, adn then we went around to meet all of the other idols. it was an incredible experience..and i still can't believe it happened!...so that is my story...i guess it isnt very short, but anyway i want to post pictures, but im not sure how
so thanks everybody for sharing yoru stories and pictures...i just love reading and looking at them!...i wish i could of met you guys..you sound like really sweet people!

It never ceases to amaze me how sweet Jason is. Not only did he remember to put the passes out there for you but he came up to you in the meet and greet. Too bad about not getting a dread, though, LOL (just kidding!) Hope you figure out how to put the pix up!

Can you handle the cuteness???
I can't. It's the most adorkable thing ever. (And we Word Nerds have seen a LOT of adorkableness in our fanbase...!!) SO cute!! She was going to hop up on the ledge, and Jason told her not to, to make it a silly picture. She was cracking up the whole way home when she saw what he did in her picture!
That is the cutest pic ever!! What a thrill, I would be giggling all the way home too! My 6 year old is very excited to see Jason, I hope we get a fun pic too! I'd print that out and frame it!! And send it to Jason on his myspace, or to his family or something!! Thats just too super cute not to share with everyone!!!
Oh, and whats the sock story??? I missed that one somehow.

Sock is legend. *LOL* It's a very long story, has to do with a knit blogger who started this traveling sock thing (like Flat Stanley, but you get socks in the end...) The full set of pics, and all the commentary, is on my LJ @
celtic-fish.livejournal.com/. I'm leaving it the top entry for now, until I get around to posting the rest of my tour experience.
I was actually working on Sock last night at VBS, and discovered what I suspect were two of Brooke's hairs in my yarn. I don't know anyone with long, fine, curly white-blond hair, so that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
ETA: I'm going to Tulsa, and I'm actually planning to take that picture of Jason and my daughter with me to ask him to sign, along with what by then should be the almost-finished pair of socks. The plan is to sew the second toe closed at intermission that night.

Hey, I know! The year we went to see Prince I asked my 12 year old daughter to get a fake cast and go in a wheelchair...then we're guaranteed front row! She wouldn't do it though. Can you believe that?

I have never heard of Flat Stanley either! Did I ever mention that I am a hermit that lives in a cave?! LOL!
I love the look on DC's face while he is holding the sock! Kinda the same look I must of had HUH? SOCK? FLAT STANLEY? WUH?

xvintage-hearts--Your pictures are amazing!!
Okay so sorry it took so long but here is my story and my pictures! OMG last week was amazing! It was so nice meeting everyone and I really enjoyed hanging out with you guys! I'm still so excited that we got to meet Jason and the other idols. If anyone has a pic of me and Jason would you send it to me...I have one but its not a very good picture of me and Jason is looking at the wrong camera
Oh well!!
My experience was just amazing! I gave Jason my present and got a picture and he signed my shirt! What is sad is that I don't really remember saying much to him because I think I was so star struck...and whats sad is that I have never been star struck before! The concert was amazing. We were pretty much front row (my sister and I) smashed ourselves against the barricades right beside the center aisle. lvnjsn I actually think we were one row behind you guys. Yeah we were right beside David's family although we didn't really get to talk to them. My cousin though made this awesome sign the shape of a guitar that said DC Rocks and David's mom saw the sign and took a picture with it. My cousin was able to get a picture with her and the sign and I think talked to David's brother for a minute. It made her night!! Okay back to the concert. Did I saw it was amazing? I was really impressed with everyone (except Kristy Lee but she just really isn't my style). Chikieze really was awesome! At the end of his last song my sister and I were reaching out to try and touch his hand (obviously though it was too far for anyone to reach w/out risking falling into the pit with the camera guys) and Chikezie reached down and sang to me! That was really cool!! Jason was amazing and his voice is just so wonderful live! At the group performance I was screaming my head off for Jason and he saw me and looked down and smiled and waived (I think he may have recognized us from the meet and greet earlier)! I think I almost fainted j/k! After the concert we went afterwards to meet the idols but ended up like 5-6 rows of people behind the barricades. I was able to get everyones autograph including Carly's (except Rami's) by passing my program up! We got home around 12:45 and went straight to bed. I of course lost my voice! It actually is still not all the way healed yet...but at least I sound normal. I've pasted in my photobucket link with about 100+ pictures of just Jason!
BTW if anyone has a video of the final group performance that would be awesome!

My computer crashed the week of the concert, so I only have limited access. I didn't know this thread was here until tonight, so forgive me if this seems kinda late to be adding to memories of STL. Jason reminds me of my son. The first performance I saw of him I thought that, and then when he was asked about the experience he kinda shrugged and said "it was cool!" in his goofy way. I knew then that I loved that kid. My mom and I watched every week and voted voted voted for Jason. Mom said "If he was like your son, that makes him my grandson"...lol. It became a way for us to bond without any drama (except of course the drama Ryan Seacrest drummed up each week!) In March my son turned 21 on March 21. On March 25 it was idol day. And to my surprise, Jason's birthday turning 21. Another reason he reminded me of Adrian. (adrian has blue eyes and did have dreads until he decided to become a fireman) In May I bought tickets for STL and KC. Taking my mom to STL and my best friend to KC and me to both. Mom and I decorated the car with Jason Castro and Grandma Dreadhead and My dreadhead no. and took off for the city. That evening we were at the Galleria getting ready to leave when I saw a very small girl come off the escalator. I was like "That looks like Ramielle....AND Brooke White!!" It was. They knew I recognized them and I told them not to worry we would not bother them but would see them tomorrow!....if it had been Jason, the story would of been different! Fri morning we headed to Union Station. The first person we ran into was LVN JSN. Then we met the others at Houlihan's. MYTY came with balloons to spell out DREADHEADS and beads, Pook came with Name Tags and all of us came talking bout Jason.
At the scottrade center you have read so many memories I won't spell that out. But meeting him and posing with him was just the greatest thing! He was so kind and gracious to each of us. We met by accident with Char and Amsc (Angela) at houlihan's and they let us sit with them and eat. Then we headed to the concert. mom and I were on the jumbo tron twice! that was cool. The concert was great and Jason was just WONDERFUL! Two days later, I was home and my son comes running up to my room where I was looking at my photos on my tv. He says "You are not going to believe what I bought at a thrift store, my size, new and only $15." I said "What??" He pulls out these shoes and I could of just burst out in laughter, but instead I asked.."Are those orange or red?" he said "red!" I quickly flipped the photos to one of Jason on stage and said..."What do you know, just like Jason Castro!!" He yelled "whatever" and ran out. He doesn't see it but that just confirmed it for me. I love that Jason because he just reminds me so much of my own son! Lucky me. Nikki

My computer crashed the week of the concert, so I only have limited access. I didn't know this thread was here until tonight, so forgive me if this seems kinda late to be adding to memories of STL. Jason reminds me of my son. The first performance I saw of him I thought that, and then when he was asked about the experience he kinda shrugged and said "it was cool!" in his goofy way. I knew then that I loved that kid. My mom and I watched every week and voted voted voted for Jason. Mom said "If he was like your son, that makes him my grandson"...lol. It became a way for us to bond without any drama (except of course the drama Ryan Seacrest drummed up each week!) In March my son turned 21 on March 21. On March 25 it was idol day. And to my surprise, Jason's birthday turning 21. Another reason he reminded me of Adrian. (adrian has blue eyes and did have dreads until he decided to become a fireman) In May I bought tickets for STL and KC. Taking my mom to STL and my best friend to KC and me to both. Mom and I decorated the car with Jason Castro and Grandma Dreadhead and My dreadhead no. and took off for the city. That evening we were at the Galleria getting ready to leave when I saw a very small girl come off the escalator. I was like "That looks like Ramielle....AND Brooke White!!" It was. They knew I recognized them and I told them not to worry we would not bother them but would see them tomorrow!....if it had been Jason, the story would of been different! Fri morning we headed to Union Station. The first person we ran into was LVN JSN. Then we met the others at Houlihan's. MYTY came with balloons to spell out DREADHEADS and beads, Pook came with Name Tags and all of us came talking bout Jason.
At the scottrade center you have read so many memories I won't spell that out. But meeting him and posing with him was just the greatest thing! He was so kind and gracious to each of us. We met by accident with Char and Amsc (Angela) at houlihan's and they let us sit with them and eat. Then we headed to the concert. mom and I were on the jumbo tron twice! that was cool. The concert was great and Jason was just WONDERFUL! Two days later, I was home and my son comes running up to my room where I was looking at my photos on my tv. He says "You are not going to believe what I bought at a thrift store, my size, new and only $15." I said "What??" He pulls out these shoes and I could of just burst out in laughter, but instead I asked.."Are those orange or red?" he said "red!" I quickly flipped the photos to one of Jason on stage and said..."What do you know, just like Jason Castro!!" He yelled "whatever" and ran out. He doesn't see it but that just confirmed it for me. I love that Jason because he just reminds me so much of my own son! Lucky me. Nikki
lol i can totally relate to the part about your son. my youngest reminds me sooooooooo much of Jason. they even have the same birthmark, little red broken spider dot on the upper cheek. my son is like your too right now "WHATEVER", haha but he likes Jason.

hah i was the weirdo going around asking for everyone's emails xD
his is what i wrote on michaeljohnsonline about jason (cut out all the MJ drool):
First to come out was Ramiele. Didn't really see much of her. It was really crowded. Then Brooke came. Couldn't really see her, but I could tell she was real sweet. Then David Cook and thats when the suffocating pushing came. I got some good pictures of him because I was a little closer. Then Jason. I'm obsessed with Jason!! I asked him to sign my friends sweatband (we all wore sweatbands of our favorite idols) And I said sorry it's a bit hard (because it was like towel like) and he was like "it's ok." SOOO CUTTEE. So then there was a pause while all of them wrapped it up. Then came Chekezie and the crowd had died down a bit so I was front row! He came over and we asked him to sign our shirts and we got pictures with him. He was so sweet and cute. Then came Syesha. Same thing with her. She was real soft spoken. Then there was a big pause. My friends wanted to leave, but I still had hope. It was past four and they said they wouldn't come out after four.
Jason: the crowd went wild when he came on. (sorry guys, the applause might have beat michaels =[) he was so adorable, started off with his little uke and his voice was flawless. i really think he improved from the show. then crazy was sooo good. i liked his version better than the original. last was daydream and it was amazing. he was so chill and relaxed. i liked his red shoes that you could see easily all the way up in the nosebleeds where i was. oh but when he talked into the mic you couldn't understand him, haha. so so far michael brooke and jason were the only people who nailed all their songs.
jason: seeing this guy in real life was just awesome. he says "hey guys" and we say hey and my friend goes can we get autographs, but first a little background info
during the meeting at the buses from 2 to 4 all four of us had pink shirts and my friends were like pushing to get them signed, even though i knew we would afterwards, but they wouldn't listen. so we got jason to sign them but he forgot one so...
he remembers the pink shirts and i said "yeah, you forgot one" and he goes "NO, you guys forgot" and it was so cute and when i was taking my picture with him i said i liked his shoes and he said "thanks, that's what everyone has been telling me" he was just so adorable. i kind of wish i could see what they were up close. but when he was walking to the people in front of us and wasn't looking this way i touched a dread, lol.
=)

JDFB....I am so thankful you posted your pics, a fellow dreadhead didn't get one with Jason because her camera didn't take properly and you have one with them both in the pic. She will be thrilled! Everyone post your pics....it could mean something so special to someone and you may not even know it.
