Ok, we heard from a JMSr that there's a group of Dreadheads there playing Jason music, passing out CD's and waiting to meet the Idols. Hope they have some good stories to tell!!

I just met Jason!!!! I am walking on air right now. OH MY GOODNESS - he is so adorable!!!
I just got back to the hotel, but here is a brief rundown. Got there about 12:30 and met some other dreadheads - that was awesome as well. Then I ended up standing at one end with some DC fans. We didn't know which doors the idols were coming out of. So we waited, and waited and finally I hear screams - and I see DC. Everyone is going crazy and he comes over to where we are. I had something I wanted him to sign, and Freebird was with me, and she handed me something to try and get signed, but he was going through the line pretty fast, so I never got it signed. I'm thinking this can NOT happen with Jason.
So is a minute, more screams and I see JASON!!!! He walked toward the middle and then turned to go the opposite direction from where I'm standing. I'm like - I'm following him! So my daughter and I headed to the other end. Went to where he was signing - was about five people deep so I had to push (politely, of course - thanks Mrs. S for the advice) my way to toward the front. Then I see David Archuleta. Well I had a package from someone to give him, but I wanted to concentrate on getting to Jason first and foremost. But luckily I was able to hand off the package to little David and get his autograph. About that time, Jason is signing an autograph and my daughter blurts out - Jason - here is your biggest fan. He says "Oh yeah?" and looks my way and that when I was able to give him his present and was even able to explain what was in the bag. Then I ask him if I could get my picture with him. He said "Sure". So my daughter snapped the picture. I thought I would die when he put his arm around me lol!! I remember thinking this is unreal. But anyway - I will have a new avi shortly!! I didn't get one with me, him, and my daughter - that's her in the avi - not me. But it's ok - I am so happy right now. Oh I also got his autograph along with MJ, BW, CE,
I never saw Rami or Syesha.
Thanks for listening everyone.
I'm gonna rest up for a bit before the concert.

I will try to make this short while I actually have a connection and hope its posts before it tells me "goodbye" and signs me off.. I'm really bad at explaining things so I hope this is ok and makes sense.. The concert was great and Jason was amazing as always! We were on the left side where we could see when Jason comes out for the finale song and it was his turn to sing I see him running out and he just started laughing up there! I wish I was able to get a video of that but im sure someone got it.. David Cook and Michael Johns had umbrellas that they spun around and then we left.. We didn't get to go before the show but we decided that we would run out as fast as we could after to try and meet them.. there were so many people and being short it was hard to see who was around everytime we heard screams.. Kristy and Jason were on the other side.. Chikezie came out and came right over where we were and then Kristy had already made her way down to us and then went inside.. Carly came out and right after her was Michael and they were both over by us and as I was getting Michael's autograh I ended up missing Carly but that's ok.. Syesha came out and went to the other side and I never saw her again.. then David A came over to us and his dad took our stuff (we didn't want him to sign it because we heard he signs on David's pictures but he didnt and just gave it to David which was nice of him).. I saw Jason's hand giving someone back a picture after he signed it so I knew he was getting close! We got our pictures signed and he used my pen! We weren't close enough for pictures but just seeing him up close was amazing! It made standing out there feeling like I was about to fall over and melt totally worth it! I never saw Brooke, Ramiele or David Cook but we left right after Jason.. When my connection is better I might come and edit this post

Oh, my gosh...that video is adorable! The first time I watched it, I thought he (and Carly) were caught up in the reaction from the audience when he came on stage...but with a second viewing, I think he may have had a little problem with either his cue or his vocal. Maybe it was a combination of both the crowd reaction and a slightly missed cue. Either way...he was sooo 'adorkable', as only Jason can be...

No no he didnt miss his cue nor did he have a problem w/ his mic!! It was a little joke between the us Goth Girls & Jason!! He saw the sign that the Goth Girls were holding and couldnt stop laughing & he completely lost it!

I really think Jason missed his cue because he doesn't even sing the first few words of his part. I've listened to the concert every night on the cell feed, and know that he didn't come in when he was supposed to. The band is playing his part and there's no Jason singing. Then he started singing but then started cracking up.

Post by: hhidreadhead on August 18, 2008, 11:54:49 AM
castrohasmyheart,you are soooooooo incredibly lucky,I don't even know where to begin!! I'll start with my whole experience then the signing mayhem afterwards. I'll say my thoughts on each Idol in a couple sentences,so this doesn't drag on and on. First I'll say I couldn't make it in the afternoon to meet them because my mom and aunt made me go visit my aunt with them,who lives 30 minutes from downtown Charlotte,it was such a huge bummer,I had gifts and everything that I never got to give!!
Chikeze- Actually was really good! I loved the Usher song "Caught Up" he did.
Ramiele- Eh,she was ok I liked the Jackson 5 song somewhat but that was it.
Michael- Wow, I was a Michael fan before but he's now my 2nd fave Idol after Jason! Excellent set,great voice!
Kristy Lee- Good,if country music is your thing. I did like God Bless the USA though.
Carly- I loved the Evanescence song she did, "Bring Me to Life"! I didn't think she screamed any of her songs at all,I think i've read that before from people.
Brooke- Loved "Let it Be" the other 2 songs I wasn't nuts for. She has really good stage presence
Jason!!- As soon as his set was over,all I could think was "That's it?" Perfect in every way,I don't think there's much more I can say.
Syesha- Never been a fan of hers,so I'll leave it at that.
David A- Great voice,loved Angels and Apologize!
David C- Rockin' it out,luckily without any guyliner,whew!
Loved all his songs,and you can tell he loves every moment!!
I didn't get why Jason was cracking up through the whole PDSTM finale,but I guess the Goth Girls had one heck of a funny sign! It was still totally adorkable though,it's Jason,how could it not be?! Loved the MAVID dance with the umbrellas and the little move at the end,I just wish I had better seats,my camera's zoom was terrible. Just my luck,next time I'm going right to Best Buy and asking what the best concert camera is with a decent zoom!!
On to after the show...
I went out with my mom and aunt,who I came with. There weren't tons of people when I first got there but that soon changed. I couldn't even see behind me to see how many rows deep it was! We waited for a little over an hour I think before Chickeze came out. Got his autograph,I had made 2 little posters with Idols 10-6 on one poster and 1-5 on another one so I would pass up the right one depending on who walked out,since I was in the third row of people. Then Kristy came out,followed shortly by Michael and Carly,if I remember right. Finally JASON walked out!! I tried to get a picture of him walking out,but I couldn't get my camera raised over everyone's head to take a decent picture fast enough. Then he went to the oppsite side from where I was standing and spent TONS of time taking pictures and signing things. Finally he makes it to my side and that's when I got pushed as far as I could go and couldn't move at all!! It was totally uncomfortable the whole time and the people in front of me weren't about to let me up front. I got him to sign my poster but I was bummed that he didn't draw his little dread guy next to it! I had seen 2 girls who were sitting across from me at the concert who had his signature on their shirts complete with dread guy. So needless to say,I couldn't get a picture with Jason,despite the fact that before he came out,a lady standing next to me swore she would take one of me with him,but of course as soon as he came out she got to the front and it was all about her!! Then Archie came out with his dad and I got Archie to sign my poster. Brooke and Syesha both came out during this time,but I was so hot and tired and sweaty from being pushed around so much that I left right after Archie signed. The security guy said David C wasn't coming out because he wasn't "feeling well". He seemed fine at the concert so I was a little confused about that,but oh well. So to summarize,I managed to get autographs on my poster from: Chickeze,Kristy, Carly,Michael,Jason and Archie. If I had it my way,I would've waited to get a picture with Jason and gotten Brooke to sign my poster.
I left feeling very dissapointed that I couldn't assert myself enough to get to the front row of people and that i couldn't go in the afternoon too since there were less people and it's more relaxed atmosphere. I am in need of a big group Dreadhead hug,any volunteers??
Oh,and for those of you that were there,I was wearing a cap sleeve red t-shirt that said "I was Thinking Jason,Yeah! with olive green cargo capris.

It was great seeing Jason- I was absolutely NUTS!!!! I got nervous the closer it got to time for him and thought I'd pop when the intermission before him seemed to be taking forever!! He was so awesome- as always but I admit It was so short
I so wanted him to do more!!! I was pretty disappointed not only did I not meet Jason I never even got to meet any dreadheads
well, anyway I sat next to a nice lady who got to meet Jason earlier that day and she said he was the nicest one! The best I could do was buy a picture of him- but oh well- I hope to see him one day at HIS concert!!
If I keep going I think I'll cry but it was pretty cool seeing him I felt like what some of them girls must have felt like during the days of Elvis or something!
screaming like a mad woman and then poof it's over! He was great while it lasted though!!!

Someday, so happy for you! Bring us back details...we love details! And pics...lots of pics!!! ;D ;D
Thanks!! I'm uploading to photobucket now - I hope this works. We'll see in a little while.
I'm trying to think of details. It's so funny, because it's like your mind goes blank. I do remember we talked about his shirt. He said he loved that shirt, and I said there was a thread about it in DDB.
The bad part was that I had typed this heartfelt letter to him the night before. My printer wouldn't work, so I decided I would stop by my office on the way to Charlotte to print it off. I did, and threw the letter in my purse, as we were running a little late. I FORGOT to put it in his gift bag, and found it in my purse when we got back to the hotel. I was so disappointed and decided I would wait after the concert to give it to him.
I waited for him to come out almost an hour and decided we needed to leave - we were 3 blocks back, and didn't think it would be good for two women to be walking back alone any later. I gave my letter to a girl I'd never met and she said she would give it to Jason. I sure hope she did!!! But I will never know.
I really enjoyed meeting the other dreadheads - among them Mary (freebird) Castrovote and daughters; Erinavery, Skropp, and Gottagrape.
Brittany, I looked for you, but never saw you. Tara - I hate I missed you too!
Hate I missed all of the other dreadheads!!!
But overall it was an awesome experience. Jason really was the nicest of them all. Michael Johns was a clown as usual. David Cook did an awesome job during the show, but did not seem himself at the afternoon signing.
David Archuleta and Brook seemed a bit rushed.
I really want to know what that sign said that made Jason lose it. When I saw him, I thought he forgot the words, and thought how can he forget the words as many times as he's done that song? I don't think he did, but thinking maybe he missed his cue. But he sure was cracking up at something!!
I'll be back in a bit with pictures I hope!

Connie it was great meeting you and your daughter and the gifts for JC were perfect. Tara, sorry we missed each other (you know what they say about "the best laid plans of mice and men", lol).
Although I didn't make my way to the front to meet Jason personally, from the back of the crowd I followed him, as he made his way down the line of excited fans, signing everything handed to him (with smiley faces on them, even), taking a picture with anyone (and there were so many) who asked him and with always a smile and sweet spirit about him. I was taking shots with my camera all along the way, many of which I had to trash due to the occasional head or elbow that entered the frame just before I shot it, lol. He stayed out longer than anyone and conversed with all who talked to him. There were little kids, to (uh-hum), middle age ladies and all ages in between that were fans. I only saw four others come out, David Cook, KLC, Carly & Archie, but I didn't stay too long, so I must have missed some. I have to say again how much I admired Jason's spirit and his response to his fans. My grandaughters had requested Jason Castro and David Cook's autographs....thanks to Connie for getting the photo to Jason and to Jason for signing it. I didn't have the same luck with David Cook, but thanks for trying Connie.
As for the concert ...this objective is from the "nose bleed" section, but be that as it may, Jason was our favorite (surprise,
) Archuletta, Chikezie, Brooke, also very very good. They were all very talented. I'll just leave it at that.

I really think Jason missed his cue because he doesn't even sing the first few words of his part. I've listened to the concert every night on the cell feed, and know that he didn't come in when he was supposed to. The band is playing his part and there's no Jason singing. Then he started singing but then started cracking up.
I agree with this. I was on the front row, very close to where Jason came out and where the goth girls sign was. He had barely walked out on stage before he started laughing - I don't think he had time read the sign. And it really did sound late. But I guess the sign theory is possible.

Brittany you look so prettty
I think you kinda favor Mandy!
Thanks.
Did you get your picture with him?
no,
I didn't get there until late. I wanted to wait a while after the concert but my husband didn't feel comfortable staying out there by ourselves
I wish I'd called freebird back maybe she would've waited with me
but it was awesome to see him anyway and to yell for him where he could actually hear it instead of from at home on the couch!

Thats true!
I like your avi, btw!
I got three pictures of Jason from the concert, then my camera died.
=[
And I took like 50 videos on my phone and none of them have any sound.
It sucks.

I would've been a nervous wreck meeting him!

I actually felt pretty calm when he was near me, well I was excited/nervous and everything else too.
Haha.
I felt of his dreads too.
My camera had the flashing low battery at the end of when they came out so I turned it off and didn't turn it back on till Jason was on, but it was still the same, I got those three pictures and like 4 second video of Somewhere ove the Rainbow.
Jason and David A. were the nicest to me. Haha. David A. stood in front of me a while talking to me and people around me and I was like freaking out on the inside and just standing there smiling. Haha.

Lol! That's cool! little Archie is sweet! When it was getting time for Jason to come on I was nervous then! I was freaking out even before he came on stage and my husband was like "Don't get arrested!" Lol! I stood the whole time- I couldn't help myself I was going nuts maybe it's a good thing I didn't get to meet him, huh?

Jason and Chikezie were definitely the nicest to me. Archie was nice, but he was super rushed. Michael hugged me though. He was nice. Cook couldn't come out because he was sick.
The girls were nice too, especially Carly & Kristy Lee. Kristy Lee showed me her engagement ring haha. Syesha...eh. She wasn't wanting to be there, and Brooke seemed tired. Ramiele didn't even come out at all.
I just loved meeting everyone.

so...
I was the one that kept opening that handicap door! haha (THE AC FELT GOOD!) it was an accident though lol
anywayyy...
when Jason came out in the afternoon, he came straight to me. I was the 1st one that got anything signed!
i told him how i drove 500 miles to see him
and he started to sing that song " i would walk 500 miles" lol
he signed a picture for me and we got our picture taken and it was pretty cool and relaxed..
then after the show I got out there and stood right in front of the door where they came out of! that was exciting.
people were pushing me all over the places and shoving their posters over my head
(KINDA SCARY!) Carly stuck up for us though lol
when Jason came our way he was like "heyyy how are you!?" I was like (yelling in my head like a little girl) but I said i was good and I asked how he was and of course he was very good! I got a hug from him then. he is so nice!
I was so happy to meet him!
NC was awesome!
So.. i saw 2 shows..and now I plan on going to a 3rd! (Im going through Jason Withdrawl already)

Connie it was great meeting you and your daughter and the gifts for JC were perfect. Tara, sorry we missed each other (you know what they say about "the best laid plans of mice and men", lol).
Although I didn't make my way to the front to meet Jason personally, from the back of the crowd I followed him, as he made his way down the line of excited fans, signing everything handed to him (with smiley faces on them, even), taking a picture with anyone (and there were so many) who asked him and with always a smile and sweet spirit about him. I was taking shots with my camera all along the way, many of which I had to trash due to the occasional head or elbow that entered the frame just before I shot it, lol. He stayed out longer than anyone and conversed with all who talked to him. There were little kids, to (uh-hum), middle age ladies and all ages in between that were fans. I only saw four others come out, David Cook, KLC, Carly & Archie, but I didn't stay too long, so I must have missed some. I have to say again how much I admired Jason's spirit and his response to his fans. My grandaughters had requested Jason Castro and David Cook's autographs....thanks to Connie for getting the photo to Jason and to Jason for signing it. I didn't have the same luck with David Cook, but thanks for trying Connie.
As for the concert ...this objective is from the "nose bleed" section, but be that as it may, Jason was our favorite (surprise,
) Archuletta, Chikezie, Brooke, also very very good. They were all very talented. I'll just leave it at that.
Mary, so glad we were able to share that together. It was so much fun! And you're welcome - I really wanted all the dreadheads to get their pictures with Jason. I think I would have cried if he had not come out. We stayed after you left and I saw everyone except Rami and Syesha. Brook came out late, but was really rushed. I got her autograph, but no pretty pictures this time. She was speeding down that long line of people.

Oh, I REALLY wanted to see Jason after the concert. Wish I had known where you were, because after we got back to our hotel, I realized that a letter I had written to Jason, sort of explaining his gift was left out of the gift bag!!! I was so mad at myself. So I waited around after the concert for almost an hour. My daughter and I were staying at the Hampton Inn about 3 blocks back, and so around 10:50, I decided we had better head on over there. Didn't want to be walking around downtown Charlotte too late. But we got maybe a block and a half up when we heard screams! Ugh... But I gave my letter to this girl who promised me that she was going to wait on David Cook. I told her to please try to put that in Jason's hands, or at least one of the other contestants so they could give it to him. I heard David C. never came out. I sure hope Jason received my letter. I looked for dreadhead shirts so I could give to one of you, but I didn't see any from where we were. Anyway, maybe he got it.
Sorry I didn't get to meet you. I loved your story about how Jason walked over to you first and started singing that song - that is awesome - and so is he!!

The Charlotte concert was such a blast! Before the show was the best part, in the early afternoon when we got to see them up close. It was so awesome to see some of them up close, and talk to them a little and see their personalities.....Jason is so laid-back and adorable, Chikezie seemed so nice and down to earth, Michael was like the "class clown"....we were standing down at the end near the door to the arena, and when Michael walked down there, someone opened it up, and he stood there for a minute, lifted his shirt up, and said something like "I'll just stay here awhile!" That was pretty hot...LOL.
I was able to get a picture with Michael (somewhat) and a really good one with Chikezie. I wasn't able to get a picture WITH David Cook or Archie...but I got really good close up ones of them, so I am happy with that. I was a little upset that I didn't get a picture with Jason, but I got about 25 good ones of him doing various things...I sympathize with some of you others who also said you too did not get a picture with Jason....if you weren't lucky enough to be against the railing, or if you weren't an overly aggressive person (which I am not unfortunately) then it was hard to get a picture with the really popular ones, such as the 2 Davids and Jason. I got a little irrate because every time I got the opportunity to get a pic with him, someone elbowed in front of me....and then even some that had already gotten pictures with him, wouldn't move a bit to let others in. So it was a little frustrating to be so close yet so far away...LOL...but I did get to touch his arm (haha) and I yelled out JASON get a picture with me! And he even answered me and turned and said sure, but then of course someone took that cue to jump in and get a pic......so it was a bummer. My poor hubby was just as excited as I was, trying to get in and help me get a pic with Jason...he said "Please take a picture with my wife so she won't divorce me!" LOL He's a good man....he took half of the really good Jason pics I have. It was really exciting, and the show was awesome...I think everyone has improved even more so since the show...of course Jason was my fave.....but I even really loved David A., who I wasn't the hugest fan of on the show. I thought David C. was awesome, and was a good performer...Michael was great....I pretty much loved all the guys.....no one disappointed, although I have never been a huge fan of Syesha and Ramiele......but it was so much fun! The group # was so funny, I loved that! Classic Jason! = )After the concert was a madhouse, but I was able to get an autograph from Jason, but only because a bunch of people were nice enough to pass it forward to the front to Jason, because I was way in the back!

Blueeyes, I'm sorry you didn't get your picture made with him. I was on the opposite end when he came out and pretty much just followed him until I was only 2 or 3 people deep. I had a gift for him, and also one for Archie from a fan of his in Oregon. So I was a little aggressive, but not overly so. I made SURE to leave as soon as I had my picture taken so someone else could get up there. I really didn't want to leave though!
My daughter took most of our pics. I'm going to try and post them here . . .

Here are a few more . . .
This one is of Archie looking at the Package from Oregon. He was shocked that someone would mail it to me.
Michael Johns was hilarious. I wish I had a picture of this, but at one point, he put on someone's bunny ears and danced around. He really is funny!
Chikezie was very sweet.
Brook came out really late, and was extremely rushed.
I was able to get 5 of the 10s autographs. Here is pic of me holding up my favorite one!! ;D
