Getting on here after school and seeing all these posts and pictures and stories were just so overwhelming!!! Thank you SO much for including my logo on so many wonderful things, I've saved every picture. Thank you so so so much!!! This is so AMAZING.

Princess,(aka, Rebecca), you did a great job as team captain. Thanks too for helping me with my feeble attempts to get back to the idols. That mean ol security woman, aka "Barracuda" needs to spend more time listening to Jason's music; it might make her nicer. Anyway, I feel like I have a whole new group of friends. It was alot of fun. OH! And Rebecca, I got your messages this mng. My cell completely died! barracuda lol! good one! great thread belles! Her name was Margaret, and she was oh-so-nice when you call the arena staff by name, she took the picture of Jason's view of us across the barricade at night. AND she pointed Jason right to us for the running hug. There's nothin better than seein Jason run straight at you for a group hug, right PoisonIvy and Aaronsbabygirl? Oh, No I wasn't talking about Margaret. I was talking about Leila. She is head of the security hired by AI, so she goes with them everywhere. The staff at the arena was wonderful, every one of them. Leila (the Barracuda) yelled at me, took my email from the radio station out of my hands that had the phone # I was supposed to be using for their report, and wouldn't give it back, and generally berated me for asking a question. Now I am about the furthest thing from a pushy person in the world, so just the fact that I had the nerve to ask her for help is a miracle, so for her to treat me in the manner she did was inexcusable. However, the concert was great and I won't let her take away from that! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: SoAddicted2DDB on August 19, 2008, 12:21:40 PM Quote from: tx49er on August 19, 2008, 11:23:29 AM Quote from: mbbluets on August 19, 2008, 04:36:42 AM Quote from: elel on August 19, 2008, 04:17:56 AM Quote from: PRNC5 on August 18, 2008, 11:37:15 PM i wish jason could see the t-shirt, i want to know his reactions!

(people went more crazy over him that ANY other idol.) jason was truely great to all of us! he was a total sweetheart. fans had asked all the other idols to take pics with them but they all said they couldn't b/c they didn't have time and had to make it down the line. not our jason!! he took pics and gave hugs to EVERYONE who asked! you could really tell he loves us! it was all over his face and he was so excited to see all of us! he stayed out there longer than any idol making sure he got to everyone. after he had made his way down the other end of the line i went over that way too just to stay close to him and take more pics lol as i was walking that way, ray (the tour manager that came out and told us earlier that the idols were coming out) walked right up beside me and said "that's it, y'all can leave nobody else is coming out" jason was still at the end of the row signing autographs. i looked back and ray and told him "that's OK we're only here for jason!!" lol that was really awesome to get to say that to him (coz the people left to come out and didn't were cookie, mj and chikeze). anyways ray said that jason was leaving as soon as he got down the line but like i was gonna go anywhere while jason was still outside! lol but anyways like i said jason was amazing to us, gave us MUCH love and was a total sweetheart. i met all the idols expect cookie, mj and chikeze and got all their autographs. and i gotta tell ya, archie is a total sweetheart too. he really is exactly the way he was on tv. he stood directly in front of me for about 5 minutes totally interacting with the fans and talking to us. he also made sure he talked to all the fans and spotted some behind me and said "aw you guys gave me that letter didn't you?" he then said they sent him a really funny letter! haha i said "so are you loving all this or what" and he gave me his aw shucks giggle. lol i always thought his golly gee attidute may be kinda staged but it wasn't him and jason were the only ones really being great to the fans. everyone else just walked down the line signing. they talked a bit but weren't really interactive or smiling (probably coz they saw that it was pretty much ALL dreadheads!! haha umm i think that's about it.. i'll post my pics and the link to my photobucket in a bit ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 19, 2008, 01:10:06 PM www.accessatlanta.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/accessatlanta/idol/This has a good play-by-play of yesterday’s activities; in it is one of the photos taken of us yesterday through the windows. I must have covered up my face b/c I was reminded of someone’s joke about there being huge press and Mr. Tiger seeing me out there screaming for Jason! LOL, actually, I think I was blocking the reflection in the window in hopes that Jason would come back and I’d see him. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 19, 2008, 01:10:35 PM Ugh, yesterday is catching up to me. I just spent the last 60 minutes fighting a losing battle to stay awake at my desk. Finally I gave in, opened a PowerPoint, propped my chin up on my arm which was propped on my armrest and took a couple of 4 to 5 minute cat naps by setting the alarm clock on my cell to wake me back up so that I didn’t fall into a deep sleep, LOL! It worked! I feel more awake now (for a very brief time, I know). ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: dawgfan78 on August 19, 2008, 01:30:39 PM Hi everyone! As you can tell, I don't post very often but I do read and wanted to share my Atlanta experience! I have some pictures but haven't uploaded them yet. Anyway, I was the one who Overstrung (Kitty) found in the 7th row! She and her friend came to sit by me, and some other Dreadheads sat behind us after intermission. The concert was FANTASTIC. My friend and I had arrived at the arena around 12:30 and of course were horribly disappointed when the Idols didn't come out before the show. I was determined to meet Jason after the show! Thanks to Overstrung, I was able to secure a spot right behind the Dreadheads after the show, and after much waiting, Jason came out! He was so gracious and courteous with all of his fans, it was great. I only had a couple minutes to actually "meet" him, so I got my ticket signed and took a quick picture with him. I'm so excited about the picture!! I didn't think it would happen since there were SO many people wanting to get his autograph, etc. But he really made an effort to connect with everyone. I'm still pumped about the whole thing! Thanks to all the GA Dreadheads for all your effort!! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 19, 2008, 01:30:48 PM Awww, PoisonIvy, I LOVED your recap! It reminded me of the whole thing all over again, and I get sappy & teary! I swear, I think it’s hormones, but I am emotional today!!! And what luck with the seats!! Man, I wish I’d known you’d moved up- I’d have had to try to work out a ticket trade with you to get your row 40 seats! ;D I meant to mention last night but it was WAY too exciting to think of it—but it was great that y’all could reuse that “Welcome to Georgia, Jason!” banner. I’d made it with just white copy paper & black ink, so I didn’t think it would hold up long, but I saw a couple of people taking it down & folding it carefully at the campsite. I didn’t know why they’d saved it at the time, but that it got recycled into a second life is awesome! Jason would be proud of us ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 19, 2008, 01:31:16 PM It IS pretty awesome of Jason to not just come out every chance/show he can, but also offer hugs, take pictures, and smile like he REALLY appreciates you. No one else was doing that—I didn’t even notice Archie taking pics with fans (wasn’t really looking at him though, LOL!) But that Jason does it doesn’t seem AT ALL out of character—he is just an amazing person. (Can you tell I think that from all my gushing?) And Archie was great—I think the fans were saying they’d given him a scrapbook or something—I saw them showing it off at the pre-show that failed to launch. Reminds me, I completely forgot to ask Jason about my gift I sent with the venue staff guy. I also wanted to give him one of the fans I made, but I was afraid he’d just sign it and give it back to me b/c I couldn’t speak loud enough or quick enough to explain what it was. Anybody know if he got those gifts, and Kali, did you & Tina give him a fan? ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 19, 2008, 01:31:49 PM Speaking of the fan, I thought I’d post that poem here so those who didn’t have a moment to read it yesterday (as well as all the other readers) could see it. This is the story of Jason Castro, An American Idol wonder. Few knew his name a short time ago, Now he creates cheers that sound like thunder. He was a dreadheaded drummer from Dallas With a songwriter’s beautiful heart. With “Crazy,” he made his way to Hollywood For the chance to share his art. In the eliminations held in Hollywood His talents were made crystal clear The judges knew Jason’s music was Something the world would have to hear. He took the stage and started to sing, “What a day for a daydreaming boy…” Phone lines stayed busy, the fans were all dizzy, And voted him top twenty with joy. “I Just Want To Be Your Everything,” Was the next song he chose to sing. Once again he won over the voting crowds, And found himself in the top sixteen. It came time for eighties night, And Wham and Michael Jackson roared. But no one was prepared when Jason sang, “I heard there was a secret chord…” The top twelve debuted on the new stage, And fans wondered what Beatles song he would do. Their worried were unfounded, his talent resounded With “If I Fell in love with you…” Jason was quickly voted to top eleven With not even a hitch or a glitch. And he chose to sing, “Michelle, mi belle,” In which he spoke his first bit of French. After the last performer sang that night, The votes were cast and tallied once more; As Jason crossed the stage once declared safe, He yelled, “We’re going on tour!” Soon Jason’s birthday came ‘round And his “Fragile” was a thing of beauty. Though freaked out, he was safe After being in the bottom three. Next, he was out there on his journey, “Trying to make the most of it.” Into the top eight he traveled through, As he made the song a hit. Singing “Somewhere over the Rainbow.” He sounded like he came down from heaven. The praise and applause and votes were strong, And he easily made the top seven. “Once again we sit in silence,” He sang in “I Don’t Wanna Cry.” That he was destined to be in the top six No one could at all deny. The simple magnificence of “Memory” Rallied Jason’s fans to his defenses. He made it into the top five, and his fans Understood what happiness is. The show tried to change Jason, To shape him with their means, And though money talks, it didn’t sway him From being “Forever in Blue Jeans.” Though bias was revealed that night Before he sang “September Morn,” It wasn’t enough to counter the fact That to the world, a star was born. The top four singers were chosen, And Jason was thinkin’ Bob Marley. “I Shot the Sheriff,” he sang. And his fans all thought it gnarly. His next song was by another Bob, Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man.” Though it was to be his last show, His triumph was evident in the end. Now he’s touring across the land To his admirers’ delight and joy. What a day for a daydream, indeed! What a day for a daydreaming boy. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 19, 2008, 01:32:17 PM BTW, do we have a central/group photobucket to use? ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: Joy on August 19, 2008, 01:36:07 PM kali kali kali are you here? did i read it right or im just hyterical? you had my picture signed? really? *screams as she ran around the room* ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: LGMAMAOFTWO on August 19, 2008, 01:39:41 PM I sooooo very much loved all your updatesss - Tiger your updates are awesome the detail is incredible!!

I saw a glimpse of the MAVID dance on MJ's blog here:http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=PV-HJU0XN0Y AND...saw a blurry bit of Jason doing the sexy dance (1:46) but I would love to see if there's a clearer video out there.

All of the guys completely rocked, and some of the girls did good too. The guys are really so much more talented from Season 7. I didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with my fellow JSBs, but I did enjoy meeting the ones that I did. I still don't think it's sunk in that I met Jason and got two pictures with him. He's so sweet I tried to change my profile picture but it didn't work Maybe I'll get it figured out. It was everything I imagined and then some!! I couldn't have asked for a better night ;D ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: blaker on August 19, 2008, 02:09:29 PM Quote from: Slimer.Is.Joy on August 19, 2008, 01:57:57 PM Quote from: blaker on August 19, 2008, 01:40:24 PM Quote from: Slimer.Is.Joy on August 19, 2008, 01:36:07 PM kali kali kali are you here? did i read it right or im just hyterical? you had my picture signed? really? *screams as she ran around the room* When I read that I was like, "whaaaa..?

I finally got access to a computer. WOW what a day. From the low (not meeting them beforehand) to the ultimate high (Jason spending extra time with his Dreadheads after the show) My experience is so long i don't even know if I could type it all.. First the experience of meeting all the JSB's was amazing You are all a bunch of wonderful ladies It was a pleasure meeting all of you. Kudos to PRNC5 for running the whole show and making sure we were all taken care of. I will start my experience at the start of the concert. Me and Rebecca (PRNC5) had floor seats that were very good. At intermission Overstrung came over to us and told us she had moved up to 4th row and was able to claim some seats that were vacant. Rebecca and Posinivy then staked out the options for us. Luckily we got as lucky. 5th ROW center!!!!! Those seats were going for over $500 on EBAY and here we went up and just claimed them DEAD CENTER staring right at JASON. The three of use made sure to hold up our signs and scream his name. I swear he saw us!!!! All I can say about Jason's set is AMAZING!!! We decided to leave after Jasons set to make sure to get a great spot for the after-show autographs. We staked out a huge section of railing for the dreadheads and I went back to our campsite and got our banner. Hung the banner and got ready. The girls came out first. Carly and Ramielle met up right in front of me and Rebecca and Carly asked us if we wanted to hear a funny story. She proceeded to tell us about in incident last night on the bus. Carly bunks above Ramielle and upon jumping down in the morning saw brown stuff all over Ramielle and the sheets. She woke Ramielle in a panic thinking she had **** her pants Ramielle jumped up only to realize she fell asleep on a chocolate bar They were right in front of us for this story and it was a crack up They both were laughing about it. Then Brooke came out. She was as sweet as ever. Rebecca's job who was standing next to me was to ask each idol if they had gotten our group gift basket for them They each answered yes and that the Dreadheads are the sweetest, kindness fan base out there. So that's kudos to ALL the Dreadheads. Brooke commented that we are so good to them! ARchie came out next and started at one end. Then Jason came out. Margaret the security lady who we had become quite friends with throughout the day, made sure to grab him right away and lead him to the Dreadheads. She told us later that she specifically told him we had been waiting out there all day in the heat for him and we were the nicest fans she's ever met. Anyway Jason came RUNNING toward us all, jumped up on the bottom railing and group hugged all he could reach. I remember him saying "MY DREADS" Unfortunately I was about 2 girls down from touching Jason's stretched arms. After that he started at the opposite end of the line from Archie to begin signing. Waving at us along the way.. (Part 2 to come) ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: 4everBlueJeanBaby on August 19, 2008, 02:40:51 PM Part 2: So as Jason is coming down the line me and Rebecca are preparing what we are going to say. Mind you we had prepared it earlier but were just going over it We notice that it looks like Jason and Archie are going to meet up together again right in front of us. I was a bit worried. I wanted to get Archies' autograph but i was so fixated on Jason. Earlier ROY33 and PRNC5 had made a poster for me saying "Puzzle Girl" that they wanted me to carry. They wanted Jason to know it was my idea for the puzzle. I decided to try and get him to sign that. I also had another poster saying "Jason your my knight in Blue Jeans" that I had put the photoshop picture of Jason on a horse dressed as a knight on. That poster is the one I raised up during the concert. Jason and Archie did cross but luckily about 3 people down. So Jason hits Rebecca first and It's my job to take a pic. He really is more BEAUTIFUL in person. Almost like he can't be real because he's so perfect!!! He was asked if he got our group gift and he said he did and he already drank something that was in it... Then he's in front if me. I ask him to sign my Puzzle banner. He does. I think Roy33 jumped in and told him it was my idea for the puzzle and he looked me right in the eye and said "really, it's awesome" Then I asked him if he could do a date night opening an envelope and he replied "I know I always forget" Then somebody screamed "Are you going to do date night tomorrow?" He said "Yes for sure since I have the day off and I will be in the middle of a storm with nothing else to do" Then Rebecca asked if he' had seen our banners during the show? He said " No which ones?" We pointed to the ground where they were propped up against the railing, only to find they had fell and were now facing down against the concrete at Jason's feet. He bent down and picked them up. (What a sweetie) Saw Rebecca's first then grabbed mine. It was the Knight one He picked it up and it was the cutest thing. He said in the cutest voice "Is that me? When did I ride a horse? " He was inspecting it closely. It was adorable!!! I told him "Yep that's you" He then said "that's awesome" I then asked him to take a picture with it. He said sure and just held it up and smiled away.. My camera had died by then so another nice Deadhead took it and hopefully will post it. Then Rebecca asked for a hug and he said sure and hugged her. Then I asked "please for the puzzle" and he said sure and hugged me!!!! Then also in front of us somebody yelled "Hey Jason how does it feel to be the most famous person with dreads in America" and he answered in just that amazing Jason way with flipping his dreads "It feels amazing!" (Rebecca has a shot of it and needs to post it) Then I asked for a pic and he said sure. I know I'm missing more because he did stand in front of me and Rebecca for longer then anyone else previously down the line. I know more was said but I really can't remember now. Even a lady commented to me after the signing finished and all of JSb's were gathering "Jason stood with you guys for a long time. You got his attention for a good while" Wow I am still on cloud nine. Jason truly is an amazing man. He made sure to give his Dreadheads lots of love and he stayed out there the longest again to make sure all were given the same love To my fellow JSB's it was an amazing few days. I only hope I can meet up with you all again! You all are welcome any time in IDAHO! Thank you all for making this an experience I won't forget!!! If anyone remembers in incident differently then I remember please post away!!! It all happens so fast things come and go..... ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: borntorun07 on August 19, 2008, 02:49:01 PM That is an amazing experience! Thanks for sharing!

I had a wonderful time meeting you all.....what an experience to share! Good news....Jason DID see my hubby's shirt...heres how it went down... After the crowd began to dwindle.....Dave was standing up at the fence in the middle with the 3 Castrocopians (CC) and they were talking to a security guy. The CC's loved Dave's shirt so much and wanted Jason to see it. They talked the security guy into getting Jason to come back down the fence. When he took off another security guy came up, (this is about the time I show up too) read the shirt and talked to Dave, asking if he was miliary and shook Dave's hand and thanked him for his service. He too then took off to get Jason. They whisper something to Jason, Jason finishes what he's doing, looks up, sees Dave and sprints down the fence right to him. As he approaches he is reading Dave's shirt and Dave says something like...."what makes it so funny is that its true!" Jason kinda laughs (my friend Kelley has a pick of this moment) and says...."Coool". Then I ask Jason if I can get a pic of them together and of course he says yes. (http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w45/davdar/concert/mytwoguys.jpg?t=1219178958) Dave thanked him, I thanked him and he turned and ran into the building. Can you believe that happened?!?!?!

This is the story of Jason Castro, An American Idol wonder. Few knew his name a short time ago, Now he creates cheers that sound like thunder. He was a dreadheaded drummer from Dallas With a songwriter’s beautiful heart. With “Crazy,” he made his way to Hollywood For the chance to share his art. In the eliminations held in Hollywood His talents were made crystal clear The judges knew Jason’s music was Something the world would have to hear. He took the stage and started to sing, “What a day for a daydreaming boy…” Phone lines stayed busy, the fans were all dizzy, And voted him top twenty with joy. “I Just Want To Be Your Everything,” Was the next song he chose to sing. Once again he won over the voting crowds, And found himself in the top sixteen. It came time for eighties night, And Wham and Michael Jackson roared. But no one was prepared when Jason sang, “I heard there was a secret chord…” The top twelve debuted on the new stage, And fans wondered what Beatles song he would do. Their worried were unfounded, his talent resounded With “If I Fell in love with you…” Jason was quickly voted to top eleven With not even a hitch or a glitch. And he chose to sing, “Michelle, mi belle,” In which he spoke his first bit of French. After the last performer sang that night, The votes were cast and tallied once more; As Jason crossed the stage once declared safe, He yelled, “We’re going on tour!” Soon Jason’s birthday came ‘round And his “Fragile” was a thing of beauty. Though freaked out, he was safe After being in the bottom three. Next, he was out there on his journey, “Trying to make the most of it.” Into the top eight he traveled through, As he made the song a hit. Singing “Somewhere over the Rainbow.” He sounded like he came down from heaven. The praise and applause and votes were strong, And he easily made the top seven. “Once again we sit in silence,” He sang in “I Don’t Wanna Cry.” That he was destined to be in the top six No one could at all deny. The simple magnificence of “Memory” Rallied Jason’s fans to his defenses. He made it into the top five, and his fans Understood what happiness is. The show tried to change Jason, To shape him with their means, And though money talks, it didn’t sway him From being “Forever in Blue Jeans.” Though bias was revealed that night Before he sang “September Morn,” It wasn’t enough to counter the fact That to the world, a star was born. The top four singers were chosen, And Jason was thinkin’ Bob Marley. “I Shot the Sheriff,” he sang. And his fans all thought it gnarly. His next song was by another Bob, Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man.” Though it was to be his last show, His triumph was evident in the end. Now he’s touring across the land To his admirers’ delight and joy. What a day for a daydream, indeed! What a day for a daydreaming boy. Did you write this? It's absolutely beautiful, wowwwww it gave me chills!

Atlanta GA tour thread from DDB part four: =======================####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: rosequeen49 on August 19, 2008, 04:13:53 PM Quote from: dawgfan78 on August 19, 2008, 01:30:39 PM Hi everyone! As you can tell, I don't post very often but I do read and wanted to share my Atlanta experience! I have some pictures but haven't uploaded them yet. Anyway, I was the one who Overstrung (Kitty) found in the 7th row! She and her friend came to sit by me, and some other Dreadheads sat behind us after intermission. The concert was FANTASTIC. My friend and I had arrived at the arena around 12:30 and of course were horribly disappointed when the Idols didn't come out before the show. I was determined to meet Jason after the show! Thanks to Overstrung, I was able to secure a spot right behind the Dreadheads after the show, and after much waiting, Jason came out! He was so gracious and courteous with all of his fans, it was great. I only had a couple minutes to actually "meet" him, so I got my ticket signed and took a quick picture with him. I'm so excited about the picture!! I didn't think it would happen since there were SO many people wanting to get his autograph, etc. But he really made an effort to connect with everyone. I'm still pumped about the whole thing! Thanks to all the GA Dreadheads for all your effort!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes another wonderful advantage of being a dreadhead.... JASON LOVES US! You met my local Cali, girl Kitty! Whoop! She's the bomb for sure! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: Sweetpea7s on August 19, 2008, 04:14:09 PM Quote from: blaker on August 19, 2008, 03:50:22 PM Quote from: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 19, 2008, 01:31:49 PM Speaking of the fan, I thought I’d post that poem here so those who didn’t have a moment to read it yesterday (as well as all the other readers) could see it.

THAT WAS WRITTEN SO BEAUTIFULLY!Glad y'all had a great time! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: roy_33 on August 19, 2008, 04:18:03 PM I got back to Alabama about 3 hours ago. What an amazing 2 days with the JSBs and Jason. Everyone has done a fantastic job of providing recaps so I won't repeat what they said. I do have one thing to add. I also asked each of the girls about getting the JSB gift bags. Kristy loved it and said the Dreadheads were so great to everyone, Carly and Rami were next - not sure how they ended up together in front of me - the "chocolate" story was so funny. I asked both about the gift bags - Carly yells out - I love Cokes - and said everyone loves the Dreadheads because they are so nice to all of the idols. Rami loved the gift too and loves the DHs. I asked Syesha if she got the gift bag - her reaction was a little bit of a smile and she said yes then moved on to the next person in line. Next was Brooke - she said yes they all got their gift bags from "Jason's Southern Belles" and everyone loves the DH because they are so nice - we were so excited she remembered our tour name. You could tell how touched they were about the gift bags. Archie got to me right before Jason - I got his autograph but honestly don't remember if I asked him about the gift bag since Jason was so close to me - couldn't really concentrate. Jason finally got to me - such a surreal experience. He took our picture and just like the others, made sure it came out before leaving. I got a hug and his autograph. I asked him if he's getting the postcards at the venues - and he said "Yes, I have tons of postcards". This was an incredible experience - it almost seems like a dream but we have photos to prove it happened. I don't have many pictures but I will post them once I get a photobucket account. The JSBs are great - what a wonderful time we had. PRNC5 - a fantastic job of getting everything together. 4everBlueJeanBaby - thanks for getting our souvenier JSB photo collage - I cherish it. To the other JSBs - I just don't know what to say. I am so thankful to be a part of this group and glad I got to meet most of you. I hope when Jason starts his solo tour we can do this again. I have a very special thanks to some of our new friends - they called themselves tag-a-longs. Tag-a-long Robyn who is 4everBlueJeanBaby's friend. Thanks for helping us at our Sunday night dinner and poster party - you jumped right in like you were one of us - you are just great and you are an honorary JSB. Thanks for taking the group pictures with everyone's camera so we each would have our own memory of our fun night. Thanks for your help on Monday too, even though you were not feeling well. Tag-a-long Wendi who is aaronsbabygirl's friend - what a great person you are. Thanks to you, too for helping out Sunday night with our posters. Thanks for the recon on Monday afternoon while we were waiting to see the idols. Thanks for taking our group picture after the concert so we could all be in it. You are an honorary JSB too. Tag-a-long Tina is Kali's friend. She is the one who carried the dreadhead-on-a-stick around all day long. She wanted to make sure everyone saw it. Another honorary JSB. We love all of you. Thanks to all of you DHs who posted encouraging words after we didn't get to meet Jason Monday afternoon. We appreciate it. Jason is as absolutely wonderful as everyone has said he is. A side note - so many other fan bases and people attending the concert took pictures of the JSBs. They were so amazed at our fan base - the blue shirts, the posters, Bundle of Joys Dreadhead "puppets", the DH-on-a-stick, lwilly's bus banner. Even after the show and the autograph session when we gathered for our last JSB picture, there were people still taking pictures of our group. I think people are amazed at the DH's at every venue. I've rambled and don't even know if it makes sense. Thanks for a wonderful experience. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: rosequeen49 on August 19, 2008, 04:20:58 PM Quote from: 4everBlueJeanBaby on August 19, 2008, 02:10:44 PM Hey guys!! I finally got access to a computer. WOW what a day. From the low (not meeting them beforehand) to the ultimate high (Jason spending extra time with his Dreadheads after the show) My experiance is so long i don't even know if I could type it all.. First the experience of meeting all the JSB's was amazing You are all a bunch of wonderful ladies It was a pleasure meeting all of you. Kudo's to PRNC5 for running the whole show and making sure we were all taken care of. I will start my experience at the start of the concert. Me and Rebecca (PRNC5) had floor seats that were very good. At intermission Overstrung came over to us and told us she had moved up to 4th row and was able to claim some seats that were vacent. Rebecca and Posinivy then staked out the options for us. Luckily we got as lucky. 5th ROW center!!!!! Those seats were going for over $500 on EBAY and here we went up and just claimed them DEAD CENTER staring right at JASON. The three of use made sure to hold up our signs and scream his name. I swear he saw us!!!! All I can say about Jason's set is AMAZING!!! We decided to leave after Jasons set to make sure to get a great spot for the aftershow autographs. We staked out a huge section of railing for the dreadheads and I went back to our campsite and got our banner. Hung the banner and got ready. The girls came out first. Carly and Ramielle met up right in front of me and Rebecca and Carly asked us if we wanted to hear a funny story. She proceeded to tell us about in incident last night on the bus. Carly bunks above Ramielle and upon jumping down in the morning saw brown stuff all over Ramielle and the sheets. She woke Ramielle in a panic thinking she had **** her pants Ramielle jumped up only to realize she fell asleep on a chocolate bar They were right in front of us for this story and it was a crack up They both were laughing about it. Then Brooke came out. She was as sweet as ever. Rebecca's job who was standing next to me was to ask each idol if they had gotten our group gift basket for them They each answered yes and that the Dreadheads are the sweetest, kindess fan base out there. So that's kudo's to ALL the Dreadheads. Brooke commented that we are so good to them!! ARchie came out next and started at one end. Then Jason came out. Margaret the security lady who we had become quite friends with throughout the day, made sure to grab him right away and lead him to the Dreadheads. She told us later that she specifcally told him we had been waiting out there all day in the heat for him and we were the nicest fans she's ever met. Anyway Jason came RUNNING toward us all, jumped up on the bottom railing and group hugged all he could reach. I remember him saying "MY DREADS" Unfortunetly I was about 2 girls down from touching Jason's stretched arms. After that he started at the opposite end of the line from Archie to begin signing. Waving at us along the way.. (Part 2 to come) Love Love Loving it!!!!!! "MY DREADS" haha, told you he was proud of us! ;D ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: 4everBlueJeanBaby on August 19, 2008, 04:24:38 PM Roy I couldn't have said it better myself. Yes the other Idol concert goers were in AWE of our amazing representation. I did forget one thing. A group of us Dreadheads were outside the venue waiting to go in to the concert and a CNN guy came up to us and asked if they could film us for a small segment on Larry King. Watch for us. I think BundleofJoy will be seen the most. Her dreadhead puppet was a huge success, and her enthusiasm won the CNN guys over So for those JSB's who weren't there I swear we were looking for you all to try and get you over before they filmed. I think there was about 6 or us includeing Robyn the tag a long. And to the TAG A LONGs or TG's as we started to call them...Yes you were all amazing and helped out SO much. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: rosequeen49 on August 19, 2008, 04:25:54 PM Quote from: 4everBlueJeanBaby on August 19, 2008, 02:40:51 PM Part 2: So as Jason is coming down the line me and Rebecca are preparing what we are going to say. Mind you we had prepared it earlier but were just going over it We notice that it looks like Jason and Archie are going to meet up together again right in front of us. I was a bit worried. I wanted to get Archies' autograph but i was so fixated on Jason. Earlier ROY33 and PRNC5 had made a poster for me saying "Puzzle Girl" that they wanted me to carry. They wanted Jason to know it was my idea for the puzzle. I decided to try and get him to sign that. I also had another poster saying "Jason your my knight in Blue Jeans" that I had put the photoshop picture of Jason on a horse dressed as a knight on. That poster is the one I raised up during the concert. Jason and Archie did cross but luckily about 3 people down. So Jason hits Rebecca first and It's my job to take a pic. He really is more BEAUTIFUL in person. Almost like he can't be real because he's so perfect!!! He was asked if he got our group gift and he said he did and he already drank something that was in it... Then he's in front if me. I ask him to sign my Puzzle banner. He does. I think Roy33 jumped in and told him it was my idea for the puzzle and he looked me right in the eye and said "really, it's awesome" Then I asked him if he could do a date night opening an envelope and he replied "I know I always forget" Then sombody screamed "Are you going to do date night tomorrow?" He said "Yes for sure since I have the day off and I will be in the middle of a storm with nothing else to do" Then Rebecca asked if he' had seen our banners during the show? He said " No which ones?" We pointed to the ground where they were propped up against the railing, only to find they had fell and were now facing down against the concrete at Jason's feet. He bent down and picked them up. (What a sweetie) Saw Rebecca's first then grabbed mine. It was the Knight one He picked it up and it was the cutest thing. He said in the cutest voice "Is that me? When did I ride a horse? " He was inspecting it closley. It was adorable!!! I told him "Yep that's you" He then said "that's awesome" I then asked him to take a picture with it. He said sure and just held it up and smiled away.. My camera had died by then so another nice Dreadhead took it and hopefully will post it. Then Rebecca asked for a hug and he said sure and hugged her. Then I asked "please for the puzzle" and he said sure and hugged me!!!! Then also in front of us somebody yelled "Hey Jason how does it feel to be the most famous person with dreads in America" and he answered in just that amazing Jason way with flipping his dreads "It feels amazing!!" (Rebecca has a shot of it and needs to post it) Then I asked for a pic and he said sure. I know I'm missing more because he did stand in front of me and Rebecca for longer then anyone else previously down the line. I know more was said but I really can't remember now. Even a lady commented to me after the signing finished and all of JSb's were gathering "Jason stood with you guys for a long time. You got his attention for a good while" Wow I am still on cloud nine. Jason truly is an amazing man. He made sure to give his Dreadheads lots of love and he stayed out there the longest again to make sure all were given the same love To my fellow JSB's it was an amazing few days. I only hope I can meet up with you all again!! You all are welcome any time in IDAHO!! Thank you all for making this an experiance I won't forget!!! If anyone remembers in incident differenty then I remember please post away!!! It all happens so fast things come and go..... OK so WHAT was the drink? come on, no holding details now! lol, I'm so glad Carrie you got this chance and really look forward to him showing the puzzle. That'd be cool! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: MomOf6 on August 19, 2008, 04:26:59 PM Here are two...just learning to post pictures....bear with me.....sorry the quality is so poor BTW, I haven't seen where anyone has mentioned the shoes he wore last night...were they new?? ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: blaker on August 19, 2008, 04:28:22 PM Quote from: 4everBlueJeanBaby on August 19, 2008, 04:24:38 PM Roy I couldn't have said it better myself.

Whew what a whirlwind 24 hrs, huh? I had a wonderful time meeting you all.....what an experience to share! Good news....Jason DID see my hubby's shirt...heres how it went down... After the crowd began to dwindle.....Dave was standing up at the fence in the middle with the 3 Castrocopians (CC) and they were talking to a security guy. The CC's loved Dave's shirt so much and wanted Jason to see it. They talked the security guy into getting Jason to come back down the fence. When he took off another security guy came up, (this is about the time I show up too) read the shirt and talked to Dave, asking if he was miliary and shook Dave's hand and thanked him for his service. He too then took off to get Jason. They whisper something to Jason, Jason finishes what he's doing, looks up, sees Dave and sprints down the fence right to him.

Ahhhhhh that is just the sweetest "my two favorite guys", your husband is a KEEPER for sure! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: rosequeen49 on August 19, 2008, 04:30:01 PM Quote from: Sweetpea7s on August 19, 2008, 04:14:09 PM Quote from: blaker on August 19, 2008, 03:50:22 PM Quote from: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 19, 2008, 01:31:49 PM Speaking of the fan, I thought I’d post that poem here so those who didn’t have a moment to read it yesterday (as well as all the other readers) could see it. This is the story of Jason Castro, An American Idol wonder. Few knew his name a short time ago, Now he creates cheers that sound like thunder. He was a dreadheaded drummer from Dallas With a songwriter’s beautiful heart. With “Crazy,” he made his way to Hollywood For the chance to share his art. In the eliminations held in Hollywood His talents were made crystal clear The judges knew Jason’s music was Something the world would have to hear. He took the stage and started to sing, “What a day for a daydreaming boy…” Phone lines stayed busy, the fans were all dizzy, And voted him top twenty with joy. “I Just Want To Be Your Everything,” Was the next song he chose to sing. Once again he won over the voting crowds, And found himself in the top sixteen. It came time for eighties night, And Wham and Michael Jackson roared. But no one was prepared when Jason sang, “I heard there was a secret chord…” The top twelve debuted on the new stage, And fans wondered what Beatles song he would do. Their worried were unfounded, his talent resounded With “If I Fell in love with you…” Jason was quickly voted to top eleven With not even a hitch or a glitch. And he chose to sing, “Michelle, mi belle,” In which he spoke his first bit of French. After the last performer sang that night, The votes were cast and tallied once more; As Jason crossed the stage once declared safe, He yelled, “We’re going on tour!” Soon Jason’s birthday came ‘round And his “Fragile” was a thing of beauty. Though freaked out, he was safe After being in the bottom three. Next, he was out there on his journey, “Trying to make the most of it.” Into the top eight he traveled through, As he made the song a hit. Singing “Somewhere over the Rainbow.” He sounded like he came down from heaven. The praise and applause and votes were strong, And he easily made the top seven. “Once again we sit in silence,” He sang in “I Don’t Wanna Cry.” That he was destined to be in the top six No one could at all deny. The simple magnificence of “Memory” Rallied Jason’s fans to his defenses. He made it into the top five, and his fans Understood what happiness is. The show tried to change Jason, To shape him with their means, And though money talks, it didn’t sway him From being “Forever in Blue Jeans.” Though bias was revealed that night Before he sang “September Morn,” It wasn’t enough to counter the fact That to the world, a star was born. The top four singers were chosen, And Jason was thinkin’ Bob Marley. “I Shot the Sheriff,” he sang. And his fans all thought it gnarly. His next song was by another Bob, Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man.” Though it was to be his last show, His triumph was evident in the end. Now he’s touring across the land To his admirers’ delight and joy. What a day for a daydream, indeed! What a day for a daydreaming boy. THAT WAS WRITTEN SO BEAUTIFULLY!Glad y'all had a great time! Yes I agree! Fantastic job! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: blaker on August 19, 2008, 04:31:36 PM Quote from: rosequeen49 on August 19, 2008, 04:28:39 PM Quote from: Choppersmom on August 19, 2008, 02:56:12 PM Hey my fellow dreadheads!!!

After the crowd began to dwindle.....Dave was standing up at the fence in the middle with the 3 Castrocopians (CC) and they were talking to a security guy. The CC's loved Dave's shirt so much and wanted Jason to see it. They talked the security guy into getting Jason to come back down the fence. When he took off another security guy came up, (this is about the time I show up too) read the shirt and talked to Dave, asking if he was miliary and shook Dave's hand and thanked him for his service. He too then took off to get Jason. They whisper something to Jason, Jason finishes what he's doing, looks up, sees Dave and sprints down the fence right to him.

Yes the other Idol concert goers were in AWE of our amazing representation. I did forget one thing. A group of us Dreadheads were outside the venue waiting to go in to the concert and a CNN guy came up to us and asked if they could film us for a small segment on Larry King. Watch for us. I think BundleofJoy will be seen the most. Her dreadhead puppet was a huge success, and her enthusiasm won the CNN guys over So for those JSB's who weren't there I swear we were looking for you all to try and get you over before they filmed. I think there was about 6 or us includeing Robyn the tag a long. And to the TAG A LONGs or TG's as we started to call them...Yes you were all amazing and helped out SO much. That's what I want to see on Larry King! Let's just pray they broadcast all the Dreadhead love they witnessed! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: tag_a_long on August 19, 2008, 04:43:23 PM Hey to all the ALT dreadhead.

Saw where the Dreadheads/Jason's Southern Belles had BBQ--right in front where EVERYONE and their mothers had to walk by!! I'm sure they had a fantastic time. Met a few Dreadheads inside----WE ARE A FRIENDLY GROUP of fans...my husband got the biggest kick out of us all speaking to each other!! Jason was unbelievely awesome in person....I know everyone has been saying that, but he truly is!! His personality just radiates beyond belief from the stage. I, unfortunately, didn't get to see the idols after the show (had to get the kids in bed), but I honestly don't think I could of handled meeting Jason in person...I was shaking just watching him on stage. I made a light up "Jason" sign that I swear he pointed to at least twice....I'm going to believe he did, anyway. The Jason Castro/I Shot the Tambourine Man shirts were a hit. The man behind me called at least three people to tell them about it. JASON CASTRO AND THE DREADHEADS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MomOf6 - so that was you with the lighted Jason sign - MARCIA29, needacoke and I were about 5 rows below you. We asked you to unfold the sign and show it to us. Glad we at least go to make contact with you although we didn't know it was you at the time. AWSOME sign. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: gemini4jc on August 19, 2008, 05:45:56 PM WOW-love all your stories. Just like Jason to run and give y'all a Dreadhead hug.

Atlanta GA tour thread from DDB part five: =======================
*** ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: overstrung on August 19, 2008, 07:44:47 PM Quote from: dawgfan78 on August 19, 2008, 01:30:39 PM Hi everyone! As you can tell, I don't post very often but I do read and wanted to share my Atlanta experience! I have some pictures but haven't uploaded them yet. Anyway, I was the one who Overstrung (Kitty) found in the 7th row! She and her friend came to sit by me, and some other Dreadheads sat behind us after intermission. The concert was FANTASTIC. My friend and I had arrived at the arena around 12:30 and of course were horribly disappointed when the Idols didn't come out before the show. I was determined to meet Jason after the show! Thanks to Overstrung, I was able to secure a spot right behind the Dreadheads after the show, and after much waiting, Jason came out! He was so gracious and courteous with all of his fans, it was great. I only had a couple minutes to actually "meet" him, so I got my ticket signed and took a quick picture with him. I'm so excited about the picture!! I didn't think it would happen since there were SO many people wanting to get his autograph, etc. But he really made an effort to connect with everyone. I'm still pumped about the whole thing! Thanks to all the GA Dreadheads for all your effort!! THANK YOU dawgfan78!!!! !!!!! Your seats were awesome, thanks for letting us sit near you for the reason we all came to see, Jason Castro. I wish we could have gotten more on the fence (and Cookie show up for our friends), but I'm just happy we got any time at all with Jason. (although I remember your real name, I was thinkin you said another screenname frogpond so I will correct my original post, so thanks for clearin that up). Don't be a stranger to DDB. You've just been Jasonized! I can't wait to see your pics ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: Fanforlife on August 19, 2008, 07:46:11 PM You guys had the best re-caps.

You were right in the middle of that group hug I know your a Dreadhead now...admit it!!!! Okay, okay I'll admit it I may have been slightly converted.... I told you that was the spot to stand, I even knew what door there were going to come out of better than the arena staff apparently. And yes I did have Jason's chest directly in my face for the group hug. But truth be told I'd have traded places with anyone of you guys so one of you could have been right there.

I get all crazy excited again and it turns to all crazy fangirl babble. Each time I read someone else's recap and see pics, It happens all over. I think my coworkers are gonna send me home. They've heard me talk about Jason for months now and so when i walked in the door they just looked at me with this look like "wellllll???" All I could do at first was hold the picture of Jason and me up... now I won't shut up about everything that happened and seeing him and meeting everyone and the press, and the hug, and ....aaaaghhhh! Okay, calm calm... I promise ya'll I'll fill you all in with anything anyone else hasn't covered... just as soon as I can do it without shaking as i type. *removes shaking hands from keyboard* ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: PRNC5 on August 19, 2008, 09:05:59 PM BTW, I've created a group photobucket account we can all post our pics in... photobucket.com/JSB The password to post/view is: Duluth ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: kimberlywq on August 19, 2008, 09:14:28 PM WOW!!!

AWESOME!!! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: PRNC5 on August 19, 2008, 09:31:22 PM The JSB gift basket really did turn out nice. So many in our group contributed to it; I got so excited each time another package arrived with someone's very thoughtful addition. After they took it in to him the security guards came back out and told me all the idols were eyeing it as they brought it in. Wish I couldv'e seen Jason's face (and theirs!) when they said it was for him from his Southern Belles! Hehe The reaction we got when we asked him about it after the show was priceless! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: Taloolasmom on August 19, 2008, 09:37:01 PM WOW!!

I get all crazy excited again and it turns to all crazy fangirl babble. Each time I read someone else's recap and see pics, It happens all over. I think my coworkers are gonna send me home. They've heard me talk about Jason for months now and so when i walked in the door they just looked at me with this look like "wellllll???" All I could do at first was hold the picture of Jason and me up... now I won't shut up about everything that happened and seeing him and meeting everyone and the press, and the hug, and ....aaaaghhhh! Okay, calm calm... I promise ya'll I'll fill you all in with anything anyone else hasn't covered... just as soon as I can do it without shaking as i type. *removes shaking hands from keyboard* LMAO!!! I can relate! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: kali on August 19, 2008, 10:29:58 PM ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: ymbcastrofan on August 19, 2008, 10:30:36 PM Hey everyone. Ditto to what everyone else has already said. Glad you all got back home safely. The Duluth/Atlanta "Jason Experience" was a lot of fun and it was great meeting all of you and putting the screen names together with the real names and faces. Plus the J-man was totally awesome. He is really the most beautiful person I've ever seen. His pictures don't even do him justice. And on top of that, he is such a sweetie. I got a hug, a picture with him, he signed my poster, and engaged in some conversation. It was a long grueling wait, but definitely worth it in the end. Thanks to everyone who shared the great pictures from the concert. Glad somebody had good seats! Also, BIG thanks and kudos to roy_33, 4everinbluejeans and PRNC5 for all the extras you guys did for the whole group. I'm glad ChoppersMom got her picture of her two guys and that Rebecca and her Mum got to meet Jason too. I'm still going to try to research what it would cost to book Jason for a concert just for his Dreadheads. Will let you know what I find out. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: kali on August 19, 2008, 10:31:35 PM ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: kali on August 19, 2008, 10:33:59 PM ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: kimberlywq on August 19, 2008, 11:08:15 PM got this pic of flat jason with dreadhead on a stick and puffy dreadhead.....

Someone suggested "I ate cold cereal on Tues and Weds".....My hubs said..."no it was TOAST for 4 months" and the shirt was born.

Here I sit in Tampa, waiting for Thursday's show, trying to collect my thoughts into some kind of coherent narrative. Yeah, whatever. Atlanta was interesting. It started out good, got bad, got good again, and ended with a bang. Greenie and I went to the Charlotte show on Sunday, then left immediately after the concert and hauled ass down to Atlanta. We kept calling each other in our mini-caravan, trying to keep ourselves awake. It helped that some random dude kept texting her in Spanish. WTH? We got to Atlanta at 4:30 a.m., checked into our hotel, and fell asleep before our heads hit our pillows. After some very frustrating attempts to get to the arena using directions from MapQuest, we found it and met up with wickedone and prepared to stalk. It was very sunny and warm, but luckily not one of those typical August-in-Georgia days. We met SO many dreadheads! It was awesome! And yes, I actually did have a few people see me and go "Sluttyyyyyy!!!!!!!" Unfortunately, they were Cook fans. Kidding. I got to meet NeedACoke, Choppersmom, talked on the phone to Calgal, and met several others whose names escape me at the moment. But the Miss Congeniality award has got to go to Bundle of Joy. The woman is what would happen if you mated a teddy bear and a Jack Russell terrier, then jacked up the offspring on Redbull and uppers. She is hilarious! Love her. There was a HUGE Jason contingent there. I'd say that there were more Jason fans than any others. After milling around and chattering excitedly for a couple of hours, the ax fell -- fracking Larry King and his fracking suspenders decided to take over, so NO idols were coming out! It was so awful! I was disappointed for myself, but since I had already had my chance in Charlotte I felt more terrible for everybody else. There were so many signs and gifts and no Idols to give them to. If you listened closely you could hear hearts actually breaking. There was still some hope, however, because of what had happened in Baltimore (or wherever it was), where a few of the Idols actually did pop out around 4:30 or so. Calgal admonished me not to lose hope! Everyone milled about, cussing Larry King. Eventually, everyone realized that you could see the LKL cameras and lights set up on the upper floor of the venue from the outside, so everyone surrounded the building (it wasn't quite as ominous as that sounds). I missed Jason walking by, because Greenie and I were chatting up Rodney Ho (the AJC guy who writes about Idol). He was really nice. Finally, when it reached 5 p.m., it became evident that they would just not have time to come out. Everyone trudged off like little Charlie Browns. So sad. But let's leave that unpleasantness behind us because the show was fracking awesome! I swear it was even better than the night before. I did not cry during OTR this time, FYI. This was so cute: When Jason started singing "Daydream" he went, "What a day for a daydream, what a day for a daydreamin' boy." Then he paused, pointed to himself, and said, "That's me!" It was so funny! Jason must have a hell of a lot of Georgia fans, because he got a really good reception. Lots of screaming and yelling; thunderous applause. It made me feel really good for him. During PDSTM, he did a little dork dance! Yay! He was walking across the stage, when he turned, faced the audience, bent his knees and did this sort of crabwalk/shuffle (but standing up) with his hands up on either side of his head, waving back and forth. It was possibly the most random thing I've ever seen. Greenie and I looked at each other and just about DIED laughing! He is so adorkable. By the way, as an aside? After seeing them perform in person, I would like to go on record as saying that Michael Johns is a total sex god, and David Cook ain't too bad himself. Greenie will back me up on this. At some point in the afternoon or evening, word spread that the Idols would indeed be coming out after the show. So, as the final number was winding up, wicked and greenie and I jumped out of our seats, bolted up the stairs, and hauled ass out of the venue. As a result of greenie's insistence on said ass-hauling, the three of us ended up IN THE FRONT of the stalking area, right on the fence! We rock! The crowd quickly poured out, and before we knew it, the crowd was around 15-20 people deep. Wicked can attest to the fact that I would not shut up about being worried that the crowd would push forward, knock us down and trample us. I believe the words "The Who" and "Cincinnati" came out of my mouth. But I must say that everyone was relatively well-behaved, at least where we were. Yes, there was definite crushing, but I didn't die, so that's a plus. This was kind of funny: When Archie was in front of me signing autographs, I remarked out loud that I was getting squished. He looked up and said very loudly, "Hey, could everyone please back up? This lady is getting squished." I said, "Why, thank you Archie!" and patted him on the shoulder. So cute. Anyway, when Jason came out he was wearing THE blouse. Yes, it's a beautiful shirt and he looks good in it, but it's still a blouse. Just sayin. He went down to the other end of the line and started with the signing and the pictures and whatnot. When he got to us, greenie asked him if she could have a hug, and of course he obliged. When she finished hugging him, she was like, "Dude, you smell like apples!" Jason looked puzzled and said that maybe it was his hair product. Then I saw he was chewing gum and, since he was close enough to totally be breathing on me (Castrobreath?), I smelled his gum. I said, "Jason, your gum smells so good!" He said thank you, then I saw a lightbulb go off in his head. He looked at greenie and said, "I think it's my gum!" Then I said, "That's totally what it is! It smells like apples." Then, referencing his dorky little dance move from PDSTM, I said, "Jason, you totally lived up to my shirt tonight." Then I showed him what I was wearing (which was a "Jason is my dork dance king" shirt). He bent down so that he could see it underneath all the posters that were being thrust at him to sign, squinted his eyes, read it and then laughed. "I've seen a few of those! Heh." Then I had him sign it. THEN I took a picture with him. When our heads were side by side, our cheeks accidentally touched, and you know what I felt? Stubble. Eat it up, scruff fans! See? I told you it was a better interaction than I had in Charlotte! On a non-Jason note, one of the schemes I concocted during the long-ass drive from Charlotte was that I wanted to get in Syesha's blog. So when Sy came out signing autographs, I told her that she has the voice of an angel. Then greenie and wicked told her they love her blog. Then I told her that I find her blogs so inspirational. (She and I also had a random conversation about some time when Rami hugged her and got her earring stuck in her hair. Or something. I kinda zoned out.) When she reached the end of the line and finished signing everything, she started to head back inside, stopped, and then literally trotted over to us and said in this semi-conspiratorial tone, "I'm gonna go write my next blog right now!" I think I feigned excited squeeing but I don't remember. I hear we didn't make the blog, though. Oh well, I'll just have to lay it on even thicker in Tampa! Anyway, that's my latest travel blog. Oh lo! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: poisnivy on August 20, 2008, 10:31:08 AM has anybody got or seen videos from our show? the only thing i can find is the mavid video and some cook/archie stuff... i'm hoping somebody got jason, i could have had some great video if my batteries weren't just about dead :-\ ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: 4everBlueJeanBaby on August 20, 2008, 10:40:18 AM Where are all the pics guys? I know everyone was snapping away all day. There has to be more then this? Momof6 the light up sign was great. We spotted it from the floor and started planning what we could do for Dallas to get something like that. It was great!!!! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: 4everBlueJeanBaby on August 20, 2008, 10:44:08 AM Here's the shot of Jason with my poster. Unfortunetly the bottom part got cut of that said "Blue Jeans" He really stared at the photo. He was so cute when he saw it. "Is that me?" "When did I ride a horse?" So adorable..... ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: ♥Jasonisluv♥ on August 20, 2008, 11:00:30 AM dreadheads and castrocopians of georgia rock!!! love reading about all your experinces!! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 20, 2008, 11:16:56 AM Good afternoon all! I’m hoping to read the 8 pages of posts on my lunch break. I'd planned to upload my pics to our photobucket, but my camera takes MASSIVE pics, so it is taking some time just getting them from the camera to the computer So maybe by tomorrow... Just wanted to share a funny with you all. So several of you were joking that you’d love to meet Mr. Tiger, and I said that there was NO WAY he’d want to come out (he’s not cool like Moochie Daddy or Choppersdad, LOL!) So after the concert, I was STARVING when I got to my car to leave. Thankfully I had the foresight to snag a few of our delicious brownies and store them in the car, wrapped in a paper towel, so I didn’t need to drive home famished OR make a run for the border, either, LOL! I brought the two brownies I had left over in Tuesday afternoon after work and put them on my kitchen island. Yesterday afternoon, I noticed one of the two I had left was missing, and asked Mr. Tiger if he enjoyed it. He said yes, it was very good, and asked where it came from. I just said, “Oh, someone had brought it and there were some extras.” He assumed I meant from work, LOL! I didn’t tell him he’d chowed down on some dreadhead munchies! So, I pass on Mr. Tiger’s unspoken thanks for the brownie! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 20, 2008, 11:18:37 AM Someone asked about videos-- I did get a video of Jason's entire set, but not sure how good a quality it will be considering I was about 250 feet away and was zoomed in all the way on my digital camera. We'll see! It was almost 10 minutes from what I remember.

Atlanta GA tour thread from DDB part six: =======================
####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 20, 2008, 11:18:55 AM I was so worried that Mr. Tiger would ask all kinds of questions about the concert, when I got there, why I stayed so late, etc. But the only thing he asked last night as we got in bed was: So, did you have a good time at your… thing? Yeah, it was fun, I replied. That’s great, he said. Were the people all freaky and weird? (I’m cracking up inside, b/c I know he thinks when it comes to Jason Castro, I’M pretty freaky and weird, LOL!) I said, no, there were no pedophiles or perverts or pushers, ha-ha! Everyone was really normal and nice. (Of course, I didn’t tell him about some of you—you know who you are, LOL!) ;D Oh, wait, I’m talking about myself, what with my shoulder touching! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 20, 2008, 11:30:34 AM Yowch! Still downloading my pics from my camera to my computer and it's looking to take a while, so I guess no pics/vids from me today Mine weren't great anyway-- too much movement either from me or from Jason. I wish I had a really awesome zoom lens, etc, but we seldom take pics of anything in motion anyway. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 20, 2008, 11:44:46 AM LOVED the pics from everyone-- And Secretary, thanks for the Blake glow bracelet! Thanks too for the poem props! I wasted a good 3-4 hours of work time making those fans, LOL!

I barely made it to work today. I almost missed my sons orthodontist appointment. I forgot to pack my sons lunch this morning. I am truly still in a CASTRO fog . I want to thank everyone who made this day happen. It was really a magical day. I think I went through every emotion I had. Excitement, anxiety, anger , deppression, despair, sadness, nervous,Joy happiness, love, excitement again and then sadness again when it was time to leave everyone. By the time I got to the hotel I am sure I needed some prozac. This was an amazing experience and ya'll are the best Dreadheads in the world. I keep hearing Jasons voice in my head saying.... MY DREADS!!! Sooo sweet that boy. By the way if anyone has a pic of me and Jason I would love to have it. Jason took the pic with my camera and did not hold the button down long enough so I didn't get it. BOO HOO! I love all you guys and hope to meet ya'll again one day. Bundle of Joy you ROCK! Thanks for the foam dreadhead. I will keep it forever. ;D ;D ;D ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: cheezey on August 20, 2008, 03:07:52 PM Quote from: rosequeen49 on August 19, 2008, 07:57:35 PM Quote from: Choppersmom on August 19, 2008, 04:58:20 PM My Camarillas are all loving on my DH for being so wonderful and involved yesterday....Calgal made this in his honor and I HAD to share it.

When she reached the end of the line and finished signing everything, she started to head back inside, stopped, and then literally trotted over to us and said in this semi-conspiratorial tone, "I'm gonna go write my next blog right now!" I think I feigned excited squeeing but I don't remember. I hear we didn't make the blog, though. Oh well, I'll just have to lay it on even thicker in Tampa! Anyway, that's my latest travel blog. Oh lo! LOL!!! I love the Syesha stuff! ahahahahha that's so funny ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: PRNC5 on August 21, 2008, 04:17:58 AM Here's my tour experience ya'll... sorry it is so long, I cut out a ton of stuff but it's still over 4 pages. Some will probably be of little interest to most, but who knows, maybe others will get ideas to take on to other shows. Okay, here goes... Part 1: On Sunday evening I met up with a handful of JSBs at a restaurant that's right next door to the arena. It was really funny as we each arrived, not knowing if the person we were approaching was one of "us" or just some random stranger. Fortunately needacoke had printed us each up neat little nametags to wear that night and the next day, so it was easy to remember who was who after our initial introductions. Though all but a couple of us had never met in person, we were all gabbing like old friends within minutes. It was really fun putting faces to the names of those we've been chatting online with for months. I had reserved an area outside on the patio and was really glad that the weather was just perfect. We ate dinner, talked about how excited we were to see Jason and meet everyone else, and took a whole lot of pictures. Everyone had their camera there so we had to pose for the same group shot about a dozen times; by the last few we were all giggling, so I’m wonder how those few turned out. After dinner, we got out all our posters, banner paper, paint, glitter etc. and got to work on our banners and putting any final touches on our signs. We also put together the "Welcome to Georgia" gift bags for the other 9 idols. roy_33 made really nice labels to go on the front of each with the idol's names in their own tour color. There was constant laughter while this was going on, especially when the glitter pen Wendy was using exploded sending glitter EVERYWHERE! haha After finishing up and confirming everyone's plans for Monday morning, we headed out. I drove home that night. The next morning, with help from my wonderful husband, I loaded up more stuff than should ever fit into a two-door Honda Civic. Two six foot tables, a gazebo, cooler, helium tank, suitcase, Jason's gift basket, folding chairs, umbrellas, signs made the night before, video camera, regular camera, CDs....and a ton of other stuff that I still haven't even unpacked from the car. I hit the road for the arena bound and determined to claim the only spot I'd found months before that would be big enough for our group. After gettin stuck in traffic I got there about 20 minutes later than originally planned but thankfully kali had arrived there just before me and we were just in time to keep a group from another fanbase from setting up shop where we wanted to be. whew! 4EverBlueJeanBaby (Carrie) and her “tag-along” friend Robyn, roy_33 and others arrived within minutes and we all got to work. We set up our gazebos (ended up with three total), placed the tables where they needed to be, blew up a ton of baby blue and smileyface balloons and hung our JSB Dreadhead banners and signs all around. We even had a rainbow pinata! After getting settled a group of us wandered over to the lot where the buses would be parking to see if anything was going on yet. A security guard told us that a barricade would be set up out front in a couple hours. So we headed back to base camp and welcomed other JSBs as they arrived. Poisnivy had created us some really cool temp tattoos; guitars, rainbows, buses.. you name it, and a bunch of us had a ball picking out which ones we wanted and where to put em. TigerSooner4Aggie provided the music; she'd downloaded just about every Jason song, interview and appearance that could be found and had her portable sound system hooked up to her car battery. I decorated my car windows with paint and sat back and enjoyed a few minutes talking with the others and trying to remember everyone's REAL names. (eventually I gave up on trying to keep em all straight and just stuck with DDB names). Carrie and I had gotten each JSB a cool limited edition coke bottle and printed out each a copy of the JSB pic design amberscape helped us put together for Jason. We passed the bags out and left the rest on the table to be picked up. A little while later we noticed security setting up the barricade and we all grabbed our cameras, signs and gifts and ran to claim our spot. While we were waiting, our very own ljazz was working as a reporter for a local radio station, B98.5, to interview our group and give them a report on what the scene was like at the arena that day. By now you all know what transpired with the idols not coming out after we waited out there for several hours, so I'll just skip over that part. I did however send Jason's basket and the gift bags for each of the other idols inside with the head of their security. Around 4 o'clock the food was delivered and we all headed over to enjoy some yummy BBQ. I'd printed out "meal coupons" for each person in order to keep track of how many we'd ordered food for and how much extra we had for guests (even though we did have some guests join us, we ended up with a ton left over anyway). The tear-off stub at the end of each coupon was that person's entry into a raffle for one of the silver Dreadhead necklaces. The winner of the raffle was shygirluk (Rebecca) who came all the way from England with her parents for the show. Yay Rebecca! I want to thank all those who brought the delicious brownies and desserts! Yum! What's a Dreadhead party without brownies?!;D ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: PRNC5 on August 21, 2008, 04:19:01 AM Part 2: After everyone had their fill, we cleaned things up and started getting ready for the show. I ran and got checked in to the hotel, took a quick shower and headed back over. Unfortunately I ended up being directed to park on the opposite side of the arena; so I had to run to get back over where the front doors were. About this time 4EverBlueJeanBaby (Carrie) called my cell and informed me that CNN was there wanting to interview the group. Just when I got to where they all were, they turned the cameras on and starting filming. Not sure what all they got, but I guess we'll find out Friday night when it airs! We headed inside and all split off to find our seats. Carrie and I were in the second floor section back from the stage, on the last row. We looked around for blue shirts, and Jason's signs and noticed that no other fanbases really had anything that tied them together. A couple here and there would be wearing the same shirt, but nothing like the cohesive look of the Dreadheads. ;D As the show started, a guy appeared on the screens over the stage and began getting the crowd pumped up and pulled a few fans out to dance. He was standing on a chair out in the audience somewhere and had one of the PopTarts with him. After a minute I realized that he sounded rather close; so I slowly turned around to find him right behind Carrie and me. That's when we realized that we too were on those big screens. Our phones started to ring as other JSB's saw us up there; one even sent us phone pic of us on the screens. Shortly after all that, Chikezie came out and the show started. I can honestly say that I was really surprised at how good each performance was. I came to see Jason, but really enjoyed each and every one, at least all those I stuck around to see. As luck would have it, we had a couple tall guys in front of us, but since we were on the isle we were able to move to the side and had a really good view of the whole stage. We were getting really excited when it was intermission 'cause we knew that meant Jason would be next. About that time, Poisnivy came back and whispered that Overstrung had told her about some empty seats that were up to the front. So me, Carrie and her got up there as quickly as we could and I about fell over when we realized we'd be seeing Jason's set from dead-center seats, five rows back from the stage! The lights went down and I got ready for the best concert experience of my life. Jason, the Jason...the one who's voice has been running through my head since the beginning of the year... walked casually out on that stage, right in front of me and sat down. Though every note, expression, and smile of the next 15 minutes are engraved in my mind, at the same time... it's almost a blur. Robyn (Carrie's friend who came with her but sat in their original seats, said she didn't see half of his set because apparently watching Carrie and I in our Jason trance was so much more entertaining. I can tell you it was really incredible. He was incredible. Just sitting there on that stool, he has more stage presence than any one of them. You're just drawn in to his music... to the words of his songs... to the notes he's playing. For those who've been there, you know what I'm talking about. To those who have yet to have that amazing opportunity, I pray that one day you will. As soon as he left the stage, Carrie, Poisnivy and I bolted for the door. We got outside and were the first to claim our place by the barricade where they would be coming out after the show. It was fairly quite for the next little bit and then we heard the crowd inside roar when the Davids each appeared and did their songs. Others began coming out an taking their places along the fence, the earliest being other Dreadheads. We were a group determined to see our guy! We hung our "Welcome to Georgia, Jason" banner in front of us, rehearsed what we planned on saying to him, and got our cameras ready. We waited for every one to exit the arena and then another hour or so while they met with fans backstage. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: PRNC5 on August 21, 2008, 04:21:14 AM Part 3: By the time the first idol came out the crowd behind us had grown to about 12-14 rows deep. Every idol that came down the line seemed really nice and I was able to get each to sign the group picture poisnivy had printed out. Carly's story about Ramielle and the chocolate bar was really funny and I loved hearing her accent as she told it. I was surprised at how short Ramielle actually is and Archie looked like he was about twelve, but really was adorable. We asked them all about the gift bags we sent inside and they all said they really loved them, commented on what was in them and how nice they thought it was that Jason’s Dreadheads share the love with them too. They said no other fan base does anything like that and that it says a lot. I remember telling Brooke that it is because of the way Jason treats others that we are inspired to do the things we do. She paused and looked up from signing at that point and said “yes...you’re right, he is a really wonderful person”. While waiting around all day long, we'd gotten to know one of the arena security guards, Margaret. She was a lifesaver when the crowd behind us started pushing forward as each idol approached. Every time, she'd have to yell for everyone to back up before we ended up completely squished. She was well aware of who we were there to see so when Jason finally stepped through the door, she went right over to him. She pointed our way and said "Those are your Dreadheads, they've been here waiting for you all day". It didn't take a split second and a huge smile came across his face as he turned and looked toward us. His eyes grew big and he started running toward the fence. He stepped up on the bottom rail and almost dove into the crowd of Dreadheads saying "My Dreads!" and embracing as many as he could get his arms around. It almost made me cry. He REALLY was the caring, loving guy we'd all seen him to be on TV and online. His actions that night just validated it. After the big hug, security suggested to him to head over and start with those at one end and make his way back down the line of fans. He did so and we had a few minutes to gather ourselves and be in awe of what had just happened. When he got down the line to me he signed my picture, squiggly dreadhead and all and then I asked if I could get a picture with him. He leaned over into me and held my camera out to take the picture. I have no idea how long that moment actually was, cause standing there leaning against him, it's just kinda froze in my mind... After the picture I asked him about the gift basket and his eyes lit up and he said he loved it. He must have already torn through it cause he said he'd already drunk one of the drinks I put in there and REALLY liked it. (I will tell you that it's made locally and it wasn't one of the cokes. ) After he took a picture with Carrie and they talked about the puzzle for a minute I couldn't help but ask for a hug since I was too far down to be part of the first one. In true Jason style he said "Sure!" and I got one of his big ol' wonderful bear hugs. I will tell you that the "thank you" I felt in that hug SO MUCH MORE than made up for the hours and days and months I've spent doing everything I can to promote him and get his career off to a good start. The smile that was on my face at that moment has made it's way to a permanent place on my heart. After he moved on down the line, I told the ton of people behind me that if they would back up a second so I could reach down and get my stuff, I'd leave and let them move up a spot. Eventually I got out of there and went and collapsed on the grassy area off to the side where other JSBs were going to sit after their time with Jason was up. We gathered everyone in sight and took a few more group pics before heading back to the JSB camp and packing everything up. Thank you to all those who helped me fit all the stuff back in that little car! We all said our goodbyes and those who were staying the night headed back to the hotel. Carrie and I stayed up half the night downloading the pictures from our cameras, giving a short update for those still on DDB at that hour, and talking about how incredible it was to finally meet Jason. And that's pretty much my experience from the Atlanta show. Again, sorry it was so long. It's really hard to fit so much excitement into a short post! I’ve left things out here and there, but I’m sure they’ll be mentioned in time or by someone else. Again, I want to thank all those that helped to make our JSB tailgate a success. You are all wonderful and I hope we will all stay in touch and meet up again the next time Jason comes to town, if not before then! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 21, 2008, 05:27:09 AM Yay!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY DREADHEADS!!!! this is our 4th of July We should celebrate every August 21st as Freedom Day for all Dreadheads!!! So I just wanted to come and say that I am so very very proud of each of you rocking the play counts like only we can do!!!!!! Yesterday i looked at all the plays and views of other idols and other singers for that matter and what Jason has is unbelievable Again I say that jason has the BEST fans in all of music bar none!!! Just keep doing what you all do best with his plays and finding new friends and we will be on our way on this Freedom DAy!!! I also want to add that I spent some time this AM going through tour experiences thread and you guys are so very creative and WILD!!!!! It brings tears to my eyes to read all your amazing stories and see the crazy fun pictures!! This is what separates us fro the rest!!!!! The dedication and the organized planning and all done with such a loving attitude. I am so glad that you all are having opportunities to meet each other and form friendships and bonds! AS we launch Jason's Official site THE MOST IMPORTANT thing that Jason wants is for it to feel like a real family. A place where people can come and check in on his music and his LATEST happenings but also a place where you all feel at home!!! AND WOW you Georgia Dreadheads rock I loved the stories and the pictures but most of all I WANTED SOME THAT PULLED PORK!! Well my concert is FINALLY here!! And we are so thrilled to bring Jason home to TEXAS!!!!!! WE Texans will not let the dreadhead tradition of going over the top for Jason that every other great Dreadhead city has established down!!! I am excited as I am the LAST one to see the concert I feel!! So again LOTS of exciting things are coming Jason's way after today ........ I want to thank American Idol for the opportunity because without them Jason would not have been able to reach SO MANY people and touch and change their lives with such a great impact!! But we Dreadheads will take the torch from here and help launch Jason to the best career ever!!!! WE ARE THE DREADHEADS AND COULDNT BE PROUDER... THANKS for posting this J! Sooner is awesome, and I know she appreciates the love we showed for our boy! I'm uploading my pics to my photobucket and should be able to finish tonight-- Mr. Tiger said he had to work late, and you know what that means!

(people went more crazy over him that ANY other idol.) jason was truely great to all of us! he was a total sweetheart. fans had asked all the other idols to take pics with them but they all said they couldn't b/c they didn't have time and had to make it down the line. not our jason!! he took pics and gave hugs to EVERYONE who asked! you could really tell he loves us! it was all over his face and he was so excited to see all of us! he stayed out there longer than any idol making sure he got to everyone. after he had made his way down the other end of the line i went over that way too just to stay close to him and take more pics lol as i was walking that way, ray (the tour manager that came out and told us earlier that the idols were coming out) walked right up beside me and said "that's it, y'all can leave nobody else is coming out" jason was still at the end of the row signing autographs. i looked back and ray and told him "that's OK we're only here for jason!!" lol that was really awesome to get to say that to him (coz the people left to come out and didn't were cookie, mj and chikeze). anyways ray said that jason was leaving as soon as he got down the line but like i was gonna go anywhere while jason was still outside! lol but anyways like i said jason was amazing to us, gave us MUCH love and was a total sweetheart. i met all the idols expect cookie, mj and chikeze and got all their autographs. and i gotta tell ya, archie is a total sweetheart too. he really is exactly the way he was on tv. he stood directly in front of me for about 5 minutes totally interacting with the fans and talking to us. he also made sure he talked to all the fans and spotted some behind me and said "aw you guys gave me that letter didn't you?" he then said they sent him a really funny letter! haha i said "so are you loving all this or what" and he gave me his aw shucks giggle. lol i always thought his golly gee attidute may be kinda staged but it wasn't him and jason were the only ones really being great to the fans. everyone else just walked down the line signing. they talked a bit but weren't really interactive or smiling (probably coz they saw that it was pretty much ALL dreadheads!! haha umm i think that's about it.. i'll post my pics and the link to my photobucket in a bit PoisonIvy - Thanks so much for sharing that. I met Jason the day before in Charlotte, and I agree - he was so nice to all his fans, and seemed to MAKE the time for everyone. I know they're all rushed, but you'd never know it with Jason. It just made me love him more - if possible! I'm lovin' this thread - Even though Jason couldn't come out in the afternoon, it sounds like the Dreadheads made a huge appearance, and everyone had a wonderful time. And I LOVED the part when he came out with his arms wide open for the big group hug - Aww. I know he hated missing the signing in the afternoon, and was determined to make up for it after the concert. He just makes my heart happy. ;D ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 21, 2008, 11:34:30 AM Y-- did you find your wallet?

Well, I'm glad the story has a happy ending! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: bennie2 on August 21, 2008, 12:21:47 PM I posted really briefly on Monday night after we got home about the day and meeting Jason, and now I've read through everyone's reports and am grinning again. My daughter has all the photos on her camera, and has promised me she'll upload them soon, but she's moving back to school and working so she's really busy right now. But I've got to share about what a great kid I have! My daughter Julie is almost 21 and entering her Junior year at a local university. She lives on campus, and in addition to attending school full time, she works 2 part time jobs and is an honors student. So needless to say she didn't follow AI last season. I told her about Jason, and how impressed I was with him, and played some of his music for her. She liked him, but thought her mom's fangirly reaction was ridiculous - I'm too old for this! But she did help me download all his music onto the new ipod she gave me at Mothers Day. And she agreed to go with me to the concert. She's been teasing me all summer about my obsession. So I figured that on concert day she would go to work as usual and just meet me at the arena after work. She surprised me by taking the day off and planned to spend all day with the JSB's, but at the last minute had to be at school because she had been selected to participate in a freshman orientation program. Julz arrived at the arena while we were all plastered against the windows during the LKL taping, and was amazed at the fans there and how organized everything was. She's still talking about BundleofJoy's energy and enthusiasm! Anyway, so we get inside and she took pictures of all the idols as they came out to perform. After Jason's performance I wanted to head out to the barricades, but she really wanted to see the rest of the show. So we stayed through PDSTM, and I'm glad we did because we got to see the Jason shuffle and the Mavid Dirty Bird dance! After that, we made our way outside and no way were we getting through the crowds to all the other JSB's. But we found a spot just in front of the door where they came out, in about the 4th row back. And we waited and waited. Some of the people in front of us left before anyone came out, so we were 3rd row! And then some more people left after they saw their idols (mostly Archie fans) and we moved up again. I spent all night passing posters and photos, etc over my head to the security people for the fans behind me while Julz took pictures. And then Jason came out!! We got a brief glimpse, then he moved off to the other end to meet the big DH group and start signing autographs. I was behind the little girl in dreads who was crying to see Jason, and was still in the crowd trying to get close, but it looked like I was not going to get my hug and picture. But suddenly my daughter grabbed my arm and started pulling -- she had gotten to the first row when some Cookie fans traded places with her so she could get to Jason. So she told him it's my mom's birthday on Wednesday so can we get a picture. He said SURE, and grabbed my hand to get close enough for the shot. So I'm standing there with his arm behind my back, and his other hand holding mine, and I couldn't even think of anything to say!! All I could do was grin! After we got the picture we moved back so others could get some Jason time. I was a happy girl! So yesterday Julz came back home to take me out to dinner for my birthday. She had this big grin on her face when she handed my a gift. Inside the bag was a photo album, with a closeup picture of Jason on the front! She had printed all the photos we had of the afternoon wait and all the JSB's, and all of the performance photos of Jason, and the photos of Jason after the concert! She even had a photo of herself and him that I didn't know she had taken. Lovely. And then she asked if I saw my other present? I looked around the room, and there on the table where I previously had a framed 8X10 prom picture of Julz and a former b-friend, sat an 8X10 of my daughter with Jason. She said here's a picture of your 2 favorite kids! LOL We then went to dinner, and she had her ipod plugged in to her car radio. Suddenly I hear the opening chords to Someday! She grinned and said "I added his music to my ipod, too. He's really good, and I now understand why you love him so much!" So she's gone from liking his sound to being a DH convert! Love it. And she told me when he's touring on his own, we will definitely be there together to see him! I'm a proud mama! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: poisnivy on August 21, 2008, 12:31:00 PM Quote from: roy_33 on August 21, 2008, 11:57:07 AM I finally have a photobucket account - I don't have many pictures but my goal is to get them in the Duluth account by Sunday.

PRNC5 - I ended up with the CD labels and will mail them to you soon. ahhh that was YOU who left them on my car! lol i did't know who did it! yes i got them and i actually mailed them to rebecca yesterday so she can take them to the dallas show. i don't really have anything else i can do w/ them at home and i wanted to make sure they all got used, i put a lot of work into them. but anyways, i'm glad they're gonna make it to dallas so all the dreadheads there can wear them too ;D oh and the walled story made me think of something else that happened. while we were outside at the barricade waiting for the show to end i realize i had left my bag inside! the lady at the door was kind enough to let me back in to get it though (we were supposed to stay out once we left) but anyways i rushed back down to the 5th row and grabbed it. cookie was singing and i couldn't even tell you what song it was. i was in such a rush and concentrating on getting back outside i didn't even notice! but i did figure that i could at least take one pic of him while i was there. so i snapped one real quick and RAN back up the stairs and outside! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 21, 2008, 12:55:11 PM Quote from: roy_33 on August 21, 2008, 11:48:34 AM Quote from: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 21, 2008, 11:34:30 AM Y-- did you find your wallet?

I have to say, Jason’s smile and enthusiasm and beautiful music can soften even the hardest of hearts! I always joke on here about Mr. Tiger, and how he seriously loathes my Castrobsession. This is a man that I laughingly call “The Grinch,” LOL! He’s a Simon for sure. Yet while he always snaps off my car radio with Jason’s music when he gets in, I’ve caught him humming along to a few songs. Once when the CD in my car changed back to Jason (I’d changed it to something else at his insistence) he even asked “Who’s this? It sounds familiar.” (It was FIBJ). When I told him who it was, he said, “Oh. Well, he doesn’t sound so bad here. He always sounds all breathy but he’s okay here. This song sucks though.” (Ahh, the lower register… ) I tell him it is a Neil Diamond song, and he says, “Oh, then I imagine it sounds better than the original, b/c ND kind of bites.” Now, he’s nowhere near listening to Jason on his own, but I feel like he and I both can’t wait till Jason puts out an album-- me because I LOVE Jason and would buy an album of him singing the phone book, and him because he just wants to listen to more than the same 25 songs repeatedly! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: bennie2 on August 21, 2008, 01:36:46 PM [quote author=Amanda!! link=topic=9198.msg409552#msg409552 date=121934916 Oh my gosh!!!

I've sent Julie the link for the JMS photobucket acct, but not sure when she'll get the pictures loaded. Everything is on her camera and she's at school trying to get everything unpacked and set up, and still doing some freshman orientation projects, and working. Maybe she'll get them loaded by the weekend. She also got pictures of all the idols on stage and outside, so I can't wait to see all of them on a screen larger than her camera. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: bennie2 on August 21, 2008, 01:41:42 PM Quote from: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 21, 2008, 01:15:15 PM AWW, Bennie, your story about your daughter is GREAT!

Jason will get him yet! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: kimberlywq on August 21, 2008, 03:09:08 PM I just copied this over from the Images folder.... Quote from: Trax23 on August 20, 2008, 09:30:23 AM Hey y'all... A Word Nerd here...I took a picture of Jason signing the big yellow smiley face dreadhead after the show in Atlanta, and was asked by a Dreadhead to post it here. (I hope this is the right spot!) I also thought I'd put in a few of the other pictures I got of him after the show. Hope y'all enjoy! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: JCmyfascination on August 21, 2008, 04:04:03 PM What can I say? it was awesome-sad when Jason couldnt come out before the show-thank you larry king. But he spent lots of time with his fans after thats for sure. I actually went outside to wait right after Jason's set. Glad I did too so I could be on the front of the barricade. I stood beside Yer Moochie Mama and it was her 30th bday and Jason gave her a big bday hug. I also got an awesome pic with Jason(myavi). I enjoyed meeting some new people too.

Atlanta GA tour thread from DDB part eight: =======================
####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: MoochieMomma on August 21, 2008, 08:32:08 PM This was my post on the Goth Site... OOOOOKAAAYYY! Lemme just say I had the best birthday EVAAAAH...and my dubbed "Dreadhead Hubby" (as he was frequently called) is the greatest fluppin man on the planet! We showed up at 11, with no plans to attend the show. When I walked up, all three goth girls were standing in a tent by themselves...NATURALLY! Tammy and I locked arms pretty quickly and set up shop at the gates. She had the sign taped to the gate...we had plenty of room...no one really behind us...IT WOULD (and I stress WOULD) HAVE BEEN PEEEERFEEECT! BUT, NOOOOOOOOOO! Totally crushed...we drove 3 hours and sat in the sun for over 2 hours...to be told "no." hmph...boo. During those 2 hours though, we were highly entertained by each other. The DDB's were slightly nuts but, coolarious just the same. Tammy and I looked at each other at one points and said, "You see all kinds, dontcha?" DDB's had name tags for us...buttons...these awesome blue fans...they had gifts for each idol and gifts for each of us. The tents were covered in blue balloons and signs and even a pinyata rainbow. They worked their butts off. They even had JC cd's to give out! (give them some love if you get a chance when you pop over there to visit) Fartchies semi snobby group stood across from us. They had their tshirts and one lady had this "extravagant" scrapbook they were all drooling over. We got the occasional stink eye from Cookers down to the left of us. Their banner was loaded with siggies...while the DDB bus banner was really soo much cuter. So, we lingered...of course. Kali from the live feed called our Hero's mother on the phone to see what was going on. {snort...oh, snap. no she didnt.} And we noticed they were setting up something pretty important on the balcony of the inside lobby. We counted 9 or so chairs...and got a little excited. And right around 2:55...who comes lumbering out, but the man himself. He had on his pink button up, homecoming jeans...and the dreads were down. He waved a goofy grin at everyone outside the window...some of which were RUBBING against the window. Goth Girls hung to the back of the group...we crazy...but, we aint CUH-RAZY. Blessem.Half hour later they drifted back out and he waved again...saw a bunch of the others...and I video'd Cook...which was the only time I saw him that day...and wasnt really disappointed about that at all. So, the Dreadhead Hubby and I talked it over...and went in for tickets. We hung out at the BBQ, WHICH WAS REEEAAALLY REALLY GOOOD, and we chitted and we chatted and had a gay ol' time. I got birthday wishes out the wazzoo from not only my new friends but friends and family at home...and my phone battery was about shot! So, we went on it the arena...Sitting straight back, dead center, 4 rows from the floor. NOT BAD AT ALL. And as were waiting, I see someone familiar quickly approaching us...."is that the famous fartchie dad?" HE WALKED RIGHT UP TO US, SAID "EXCUSE ME" AND SAT HIS HAPPY LITTLE BUTT DOWN RIGHT NEXT TO ME...FARTCHIE'S MOMMA AND ALL OF HIS SIBLINGS WERE SITTING WITH US! HOLY CRAP!! After the show started, I made DH Hubby pretend to take my picture...making sure to get them in the background. The show itself was better than I expected. Chekezie was really good. We noticed that Rami was a cute little fat bottomed girl...and WE WERE IN AWE AT MJ. HOLY SHRIMP...THAT DUDE'S UNREAL! HE WAS AMAZING! DH Hubby turned to me and said "it aint fair that Kristy Lee has to follow that......it aint fair that we have to sit thru her set." And he was sooo right. She was more annoying than Syesha...with the hair tosses and the sit-on-the-steps-to-show-I'm-sincere...with the I've-gotta-poop look on her face....and ugh, it was sooo...rehearsed. I couldnt stand it. Carly simply blew us out of our chairs....WHEW! SHE ROCKS!Brooke was my second favorite on the show...she reminds me so much of Tori Amos...and gah...I love her, even when she babbles. So when JC did his thang...I was on the edge of my seat. Verge of tears...and he made a little funny during Daydream..."What a day for a DayDreaming Boy.....{giggle...stops playing...points to himself and says}...THAT'S ME! {giggle again}" I thought that was sweet, cuz he saw all the DDB girls in their blue tshirts earlier in the day...and he recognized them. Awesome. I went to pee when Syesha sang...and nearly feel asleep thru her last song. I've never been fond of Diva's....much less wanna be Diva's. Fartchie wasnt half bad. I wouldnt buy his cd...or see his individual show...but, he was neat to watch. Fartchie was the one to make me cry though. DONT FLIP OUT! I DIDNT CRY OVER HIM! He sang Applogize...and if anyone remembers...my close buddy passed away on my son's 5th birthday, and I found out the next day...the show's finally....and that song made me cry watching the finally too...cuz i missed my friend...and my friend always has a way of making me think of him...especially on important days...like birthdays. I left during his last song. DH Hubby stayed for Cook...and said he earned the title, he was the best showman they had. I went out and stood with Tammy and Rhonda on the other end of line from the DDB's. Tammy said, "I gotta feeling he's gonna start on this end"...and he did. Overstrung I saw yer sign from where we were! I knew you were having fun. Nicky called Rami a spitfire...all the girls were pretty in person...Carly and Brooke easily put me in a trance. I was so jealous of how lovely they were. I whispered to Brooke that she was my favorite and she looked right at me and whispered "thank you very much" right back. While we were waiting, Tammy kept telling me..."yer gonna lose all of yer senses when he gets here...you're gonna forget everything...yer just gonna stop and stare." She and I rehearsed what we wanted to say to him. She wanted to know, "What cologne were you wearing yesterday? And are you enjoying your jeans?" His answer was, crazy-eyed, almost shocked "I WUZZENT WEARING ANYTHING YESTERDAY!" ....... {snort}...and yes he liked his jeans. Tammy asked him to take a picture of them and he did...and it was perfect. I got permission fromt he DH Hubby to say "Kiss Me Castro, It's my birthday." But, Tammy was right, all senses were lost...it was crazy, we were squished and ppl were throwing things over our heads to get them signed, it was rude...and they were shoving...but, I waited my turn...and the DH Hubby kinda took over. "Hey, man! Tell her happy birthday on camera...it's her 30th." And JC stopped, looked up at the camara and yelled "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" And in that split second I thought, "I cant let him not talk directly to me!" So, before he even finished "day..." I screamed, "IT'S MEEE!" and he looked me dead in the eye and yelled, "IT'S YOU!" Then he softly and sincerely said, "Happy Birthday." {I think I stopped breathing.} Then Nicky chimed in, "Giver a kiss man...on the cheek. She's my wife, I'll let ya." And JC said, {NEVER TAKING HIS EYES OFF ME} "Oh, I dont think I can do that...." So, I just held out my arms and then he smiled and said, "I'll give you a hug though." And so I got a bear hug...he touched me....... He feels like burlap.... ....weird. and as SOON as he walked away, I COULD NOT REMEMBER WHAT HE SMELLED LIKE. I've said it before...he is an enigma. He smells good...and he reassured her, he doesnt wear cologne...but, it's not a smell that can be defined. It's crazy....absolutely crazy. Tammy and I stood there, squished and happily watched him trickle down the row. We just stood there grinning. Chaos happened right when Archie was in front of us, with his personalized security guard, shining a flashlight on everything he was to sign. The poor boy was like a robot, "follow the light, follow the light." Cook and MJ didnt show, and I bet it's cuz MJ's family and friends were in town...bet they went out. JC was the only one to stop and take pictures WITH his fans. I bet he had 10 or so camaras passed to him down the line. Everyone else said, "no, we dont have time." The whole thing happened in less than 10 seconds...I had no time to tell him my name...or Goth Girl Status or anything....Nicky caught it all on camera, so I can relive it....maybe one day I figure out how to put it online. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: poisnivy on August 21, 2008, 08:35:32 PM Quote from: MoochieMomma on August 21, 2008, 08:32:08 PM This was my post on the Goth Site...

I can empathize with not seeing him during the day as he did not come out in NJ either. But thank God I got to see him in NY! I loved that you did get time with him at night and it was special time. LOL he feels like burlap comment LOL.. I got to feel his dreads when he hugged me and they were prickly .. as far as his smell, I think he smelled "clean" and "natural" -- Au de Castro He doesn't need anything artificial which is just like his personality.. I am so thrilled you all .. I mean "all y'all" had a great time!! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: PRNC5 on August 21, 2008, 09:00:07 PM Quote from: MoochieMomma on August 21, 2008, 08:45:41 PM Quote from: poisnivy on August 21, 2008, 08:35:32 PM haha when he hugged me my nose ended up right on his neck by his dreads... yea... so i took a big whiff (or as much as i could since i could hardly breathe) didn't smell like anything..

[/color] I know I'm not in the proper house to say this in...but, I woulda licked that neck. Moochie, are you talkin about the spot between the loose curl and the dread?? Hey PRNC5, I think this is when Jason was talkin to you and 4ever! Ahhh... that would be the perfect spot, Overstrung... right there behind that curl... *saves pic in "my moment" file* - thanks! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: ilene0124 on August 21, 2008, 09:25:46 PM Awww Moochie! So funny about Jason and remembering what he smelled like. I made a mental note when he hugged me and actually remembered what he smelled like for about a day or so. Kind of an earthy, natural smell.....loved it actually!!! Probably whatever he puts in his hair....plus he had just woken up, so it's probably how his "pillowcase" smells. LOLOLOL But now, I don't think I can remember....booo. I was so amazed by the fact that I actually got a hug and was touching the "dreads"!!! I remember talking to him for a bit, but now it's all so blurry........ ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: overstrung on August 21, 2008, 10:11:04 PM Okay, my internet is finally cooperating speedwise, here are my shots worth posting, the rest I will put in the JBS bucket, because they are repeats of previous posts.

Quote Larry King owes an apology to me and the other 200+ fans who waited in the heat for 5 hours to meet the American Idol contestants, only to be told at the last minute that they weren't coming out because of his interview. Jason Castro had fans fly in from Idaho, California, and even the United Kingdom for the sole purpose of getting the chance to meet him. This was in addition to the dozens like me who drove hours from all over the Southeast. The fan group I was with altogether spent thousands of dollars in gas, hotels, catering, and supplies to make that day happen, and while we were happy to see the contestants, we'd have liked to get the chance to meet them before the show. Instead we watched a few taped minutes of Larry mispronouncing their names and asking inane questions that most people knew the answer to 2 months ago when the tour began. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: kimberlywq on August 22, 2008, 01:44:23 PM Quote from: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 22, 2008, 01:31:38 PM Just emailed this to Larry King... hope I don't get skewered!

I'm going to send a letter also, based on yours above if you don't mind. Another point I'd like to add... The next day was a non-concert day, so they could have used that time instead. I had been told that they had to do it there because they were in Atlanta, which is where CNN is. However.... the interview was done VIA SATELLITE so it could have been done from anywhere at any time. Very disappointing.... although we did get a dreadhead promo during the show ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: justalurkerrr on August 22, 2008, 02:19:49 PM Quote from: poisnivy on August 21, 2008, 08:35:32 PM Quote from: MoochieMomma on August 21, 2008, 08:32:08 PM This was my post on the Goth Site... OOOOOKAAAYYY! Lemme just say I had the best birthday EVAAAAH...and my dubbed "Dreadhead Hubby" (as he was frequently called) is the greatest fluppin man on the planet! We showed up at 11, with no plans to attend the show. When I walked up, all three goth girls were standing in a tent by themselves...NATURALLY! Tammy and I locked arms pretty quickly and set up shop at the gates. She had the sign taped to the gate...we had plenty of room...no one really behind us...IT WOULD (and I stress WOULD) HAVE BEEN PEEEERFEEECT! BUT, NOOOOOOOOOO! Totally crushed...we drove 3 hours and sat in the sun for over 2 hours...to be told "no." hmph...boo. During those 2 hours though, we were highly entertained by each other. The DDB's were slightly nuts but, coolarious just the same. Tammy and I looked at each other at one points and said, "You see all kinds, dontcha?" DDB's had name tags for us...buttons...these awesome blue fans...they had gifts for each idol and gifts for each of us. The tents were covered in blue balloons and signs and even a pinyata rainbow. They worked their butts off. They even had JC cd's to give out! (give them some love if you get a chance when you pop over there to visit) Fartchies semi snobby group stood across from us. They had their tshirts and one lady had this "extravagant" scrapbook they were all drooling over. We got the occasional stink eye from Cookers down to the left of us. Their banner was loaded with siggies...while the DDB bus banner was really soo much cuter. So, we lingered...of course. Kali from the live feed called our Hero's mother on the phone to see what was going on. {snort...oh, snap. no she didnt.} And we noticed they were setting up something pretty important on the balcony of the inside lobby. We counted 9 or so chairs...and got a little excited. And right around 2:55...who comes lumbering out, but the man himself. He had on his pink button up, homecoming jeans...and the dreads were down. He waved a goofy grin at everyone outside the window...some of which were RUBBING against the window. Goth Girls hung to the back of the group...we crazy...but, we aint CUH-RAZY. Blessem.Half hour later they drifted back out and he waved again...saw a bunch of the others...and I video'd Cook...which was the only time I saw him that day...and wasnt really disappointed about that at all. So, the Dreadhead Hubby and I talked it over...and went in for tickets. We hung out at the BBQ, WHICH WAS REEEAAALLY REALLY GOOOD, and we chitted and we chatted and had a gay ol' time. I got birthday wishes out the wazzoo from not only my new friends but friends and family at home...and my phone battery was about shot! So, we went on it the arena...Sitting straight back, dead center, 4 rows from the floor. NOT BAD AT ALL. And as were waiting, I see someone familiar quickly approaching us...."is that the famous fartchie dad?" HE WALKED RIGHT UP TO US, SAID "EXCUSE ME" AND SAT HIS HAPPY LITTLE BUTT DOWN RIGHT NEXT TO ME...FARTCHIE'S MOMMA AND ALL OF HIS SIBLINGS WERE SITTING WITH US! HOLY CRAP!! After the show started, I made DH Hubby pretend to take my picture...making sure to get them in the background. The show itself was better than I expected. Chekezie was really good. We noticed that Rami was a cute little fat bottomed girl...and WE WERE IN AWE AT MJ. HOLY SHRIMP...THAT DUDE'S UNREAL! HE WAS AMAZING! DH Hubby turned to me and said "it aint fair that Kristy Lee has to follow that......it aint fair that we have to sit thru her set." And he was sooo right. She was more annoying than Syesha...with the hair tosses and the sit-on-the-steps-to-show-I'm-sincere...with the I've-gotta-poop look on her face....and ugh, it was sooo...rehearsed. I couldnt stand it. Carly simply blew us out of our chairs....WHEW! SHE ROCKS!Brooke was my second favorite on the show...she reminds me so much of Tori Amos...and gah...I love her, even when she babbles. So when JC did his thang...I was on the edge of my seat. Verge of tears...and he made a little funny during Daydream..."What a day for a DayDreaming Boy.....{giggle...stops playing...points to himself and says}...THAT'S ME! {giggle again}" I thought that was sweet, cuz he saw all the DDB girls in their blue tshirts earlier in the day...and he recognized them. Awesome. I went to pee when Syesha sang...and nearly feel asleep thru her last song. I've never been fond of Diva's....much less wanna be Diva's. Fartchie wasnt half bad. I wouldnt buy his cd...or see his individual show...but, he was neat to watch. Fartchie was the one to make me cry though. DONT FLIP OUT! I DIDNT CRY OVER HIM! He sang Applogize...and if anyone remembers...my close buddy passed away on my son's 5th birthday, and I found out the next day...the show's finally....and that song made me cry watching the finally too...cuz i missed my friend...and my friend always has a way of making me think of him...especially on important days...like birthdays. I left during his last song. DH Hubby stayed for Cook...and said he earned the title, he was the best showman they had. I went out and stood with Tammy and Rhonda on the other end of line from the DDB's. Tammy said, "I gotta feeling he's gonna start on this end"...and he did. Overstrung I saw yer sign from where we were! I knew you were having fun. Nicky called Rami a spitfire...all the girls were pretty in person...Carly and Brooke easily put me in a trance. I was so jealous of how lovely they were. I whispered to Brooke that she was my favorite and she looked right at me and whispered "thank you very much" right back. While we were waiting, Tammy kept telling me..."yer gonna lose all of yer senses when he gets here...you're gonna forget everything...yer just gonna stop and stare." She and I rehearsed what we wanted to say to him. She wanted to know, "What cologne were you wearing yesterday? And are you enjoying your jeans?" His answer was, crazy-eyed, almost shocked "I WUZZENT WEARING ANYTHING YESTERDAY!" ....... {snort}...and yes he liked his jeans. Tammy asked him to take a picture of them and he did...and it was perfect. I got permission fromt he DH Hubby to say "Kiss Me Castro, It's my birthday." But, Tammy was right, all senses were lost...it was crazy, we were squished and ppl were throwing things over our heads to get them signed, it was rude...and they were shoving...but, I waited my turn...and the DH Hubby kinda took over. "Hey, man! Tell her happy birthday on camera...it's her 30th." And JC stopped, looked up at the camara and yelled "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" And in that split second I thought, "I cant let him not talk directly to me!" So, before he even finished "day..." I screamed, "IT'S MEEE!" and he looked me dead in the eye and yelled, "IT'S YOU!" Then he softly and sincerely said, "Happy Birthday." {I think I stopped breathing.} Then Nicky chimed in, "Giver a kiss man...on the cheek. She's my wife, I'll let ya." And JC said, {NEVER TAKING HIS EYES OFF ME} "Oh, I dont think I can do that...." So, I just held out my arms and then he smiled and said, "I'll give you a hug though." And so I got a bear hug...he touched me....... He feels like burlap.... ....weird. and as SOON as he walked away, I COULD NOT REMEMBER WHAT HE SMELLED LIKE. I've said it before...he is an enigma. He smells good...and he reassured her, he doesnt wear cologne...but, it's not a smell that can be defined. It's crazy....absolutely crazy. Tammy and I stood there, squished and happily watched him trickle down the row. We just stood there grinning. Chaos happened right when Archie was in front of us, with his personalized security guard, shining a flashlight on everything he was to sign. The poor boy was like a robot, "follow the light, follow the light." Cook and MJ didnt show, and I bet it's cuz MJ's family and friends were in town...bet they went out. JC was the only one to stop and take pictures WITH his fans. I bet he had 10 or so camaras passed to him down the line. Everyone else said, "no, we dont have time." The whole thing happened in less than 10 seconds...I had no time to tell him my name...or Goth Girl Status or anything....Nicky caught it all on camera, so I can relive it....maybe one day I figure out how to put it online. haha when he hugged me my nose ended up right on his neck by his dreads... yea... so i took a big whiff (or as much as i could since i could hardly breathe) didn't smell like anything.. scandalous! ahaha and moochie ur story is greattt. so nice of ur husband to give u permission. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: SoAddicted2DDB on August 22, 2008, 02:29:04 PM Quote from: castrovote on August 20, 2008, 10:10:42 AM Quote from: elel on August 20, 2008, 07:20:42 AM wow MomOf6, this is an amazing sign, so beautiful!

The whole thing happened in less than 10 seconds...I had no time to tell him my name...or Goth Girl Status or anything....Nicky caught it all on camera, so I can relive it....maybe one day I figure out how to put it online. haha when he hugged me my nose ended up right on his neck by his dreads... yea... so i took a big whiff (or as much as i could since i could hardly breathe) didn't smell like anything.. scandalous! ahaha and moochie ur story is greattt. so nice of ur husband to give u permission. thanks moochie for including me in your story! and i did tell ya you would lose your senses when you see him didn't I? He is like a Greek God walking I'll tell ya! I got a great pic and you got a bday hug-best bday ever huh? All while hubby watched? you have one good man there! i do too-he drove me 7 hrs to Charlotte and then 4 hrs down to Atlanta to stalk Jason-haha! TIME OF MY LIFE FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Atlanta GA tour thread from DDB part nine: =======================
####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 22, 2008, 03:29:46 PM Quote from: justalurkerrr on August 22, 2008, 02:19:49 PM Quote from: poisnivy on August 21, 2008, 08:35:32 PM Quote from: MoochieMomma on August 21, 2008, 08:32:08 PM This was my post on the Goth Site... I got permission fromt he DH Hubby to say "Kiss Me Castro, It's my birthday." But, Tammy was right, all senses were lost...it was crazy, we were squished and ppl were throwing things over our heads to get them signed, it was rude...and they were shoving...but, I waited my turn...and the DH Hubby kinda took over. "Hey, man! Tell her happy birthday on camera...it's her 30th." And JC stopped, looked up at the camara and yelled "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" And in that split second I thought, "I cant let him not talk directly to me!" So, before he even finished "day..." I screamed, "IT'S MEEE!" and he looked me dead in the eye and yelled, "IT'S YOU!" Then he softly and sincerely said, "Happy Birthday." {I think I stopped breathing.} Then Nicky chimed in, "Giver a kiss man...on the cheek. She's my wife, I'll let ya." And JC said, {NEVER TAKING HIS EYES OFF ME} "Oh, I dont think I can do that...." So, I just held out my arms and then he smiled and said, "I'll give you a hug though." And so I got a bear hug...he touched me....... He feels like burlap.... ....weird. and as SOON as he walked away, I COULD NOT REMEMBER WHAT HE SMELLED LIKE. I've said it before...he is an enigma. He smells good...and he reassured her, he doesnt wear cologne...but, it's not a smell that can be defined. It's crazy....absolutely crazy. Tammy and I stood there, squished and happily watched him trickle down the row. We just stood there grinning. Chaos happened right when Archie was in front of us, with his personalized security guard, shining a flashlight on everything he was to sign. The poor boy was like a robot, "follow the light, follow the light." Cook and MJ didnt show, and I bet it's cuz MJ's family and friends were in town...bet they went out.

Yes, I totally second this, Moochie Daddy was a great sport, and so cool to give you permission for a birthday kiss! Though I can see why Jason wouldn't be up for it: A) A whole lotta dreadheads would suddenly be having a birthday the days of their concerts! B) How many of us wouldn't swiftly turn our faces at the last possible second hoping for something more that a cheek smack? Admit it... ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: poisnivy on August 22, 2008, 04:54:37 PM Quote from: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 22, 2008, 03:29:46 PM Quote from: justalurkerrr on August 22, 2008, 02:19:49 PM Quote from: poisnivy on August 21, 2008, 08:35:32 PM Quote from: MoochieMomma on August 21, 2008, 08:32:08 PM This was my post on the Goth Site...

Where are all the photos? Does anyone need help uploading them? I know somebody took a pic of me with the Dreadhead on a stick but I don't know who? Don't worry I just bought a new camera so I'm determined to get LOTS of photos. The one I took to Atlanta dumped out on me halfway through the day and I had to rely on others for photos.

I did get some pics, not great ones, but different than some of the ones I've been seeing...I haven't been able to get them uploaded, have NO idea how to do it, went and read all the posting info "how to's" on here and they still came up as red X's, no pictures! I was hoping to add the JSB Georgia Dreadheads bus banner I made, with all of us in front of it, to the "gifts for Jason" thread that had Kali and the dreadz on a stick and such... If someone can give me some directions, I'll try again.. I'm still feelin a bit sad and blue (hehe, blue) about missing my chance to MEET Jason and have a great pic with him.. I stayed too long inside, watching, thinking I'd miss another chance after show, that the tour mgr would whisk them away and get on the road without our being able to "hang out" with them for a while...once I got outside and saw the crowds 11 deep at the barricades, I could not find you all and was way down at the end...by the time Jason got close to where I was, it was midnight and they hollered he had to go..and sigh...he was gone...I am kicking myself for not getting outside sooner....but I was so exzcited to see pics of you all at the barricades and hear the great stories and see the awesome smiling faces of all of you with Jason....but oh! how I wish I was there too!!! wanhhhhh I have SO got to go see him again!! I did get my Bob Marley "I was thinking Jason Castro" poster signed (passed over heads there and back) and....caught a bit of him on video about 12 inches from me.... thank you Carrie, and please thank Rebecca- for the most amazing time in Duluth...if only Larry King hadn't......... ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: needacoke on August 23, 2008, 07:04:15 PM Quote from: 4everBlueJeanBaby on August 23, 2008, 06:55:18 PM Oh PLEASE get that picture of me and Robyn OFF!!

Carrie, feel better soon for Monday!! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: Donnna Mac!!! on August 23, 2008, 07:58:30 PM Hello All!! ----- Let me just say that Jason's Southern Belles are a fantastic bunch!!! They were having the time of their lives, until we found out Larry King would be taking up the Idols time in the afternoon. They still seemed to be enjoying the afternoon with the bbq and all. I'm so happy to hear that everyone got to meet Jason after. It sounds like he was very happy to see you all. ----- I didn't get to hang out with you guys as much as I'd hoped. With the job I was doing for MJ and the heat making me feel sick, it just didn't work out. When I had surprisingly gotten to go to the pre-show meet and greet, one of the JSBs (sorry, I've forgotten your name- my brain was fried after being face to face with Jason and MJ) told me to make sure and come here and post my experience and tell everything that happened. Well, I've hesitated to do so because quite frankly, it's embarrasing! Here's what happened. ----- I was standing in front of the arena right after the Idols had left the Larry King interview and a lady I had said hello to in passing earlier in the parking lot approached me. She asked if I wanted to go to the pre-show meet and greet with her. DUH!!!! She said she won the passes on the radio, but that her friend couldn't make it in time to be there. So, of course, I went with her. It happened very quickly. Within 10 minutes, I was walking toward a table where the 10 Idols were sitting. I'm a big MJ fan too and when I got to him, I was babbling on about something and probably made a fool out of myself. Then after MJ were some of the girls. I was a nervous wreck and was shaking their hands and saying something about the most talented season ever... I'm not sure- I had just passed MJ and still knew that JC was ahead. And then there he was-- Jason. He was looking down signing a picture. I stopped moving and said kinda loudly, "Oh... That's Jason Castro!!!" To no one in particular! He looked up at me and smiled!! I cannot even tell you what happened to me at that point. I was so mesmerized by his eyes, I don't even know if I spoke to him or shook his hand or anything! I must have taken his picture, because it was on my camera but I honestly have no recollection of doing it. The absolute blueness of his eyes and the sparkle that shone like two stars sitting on his face were more than I could handle. I didn't post before this because I wasn't sure it was much of a story to tell!! I honestly thought I wouldn't be able to speak to MJ, but that Jason would be like talking to an old friend. Boy was I wrong!!!! Anyway, here is the mystery picture of Jason from that meet and greet! Sorry it's blurry, but for a picture I don't even remember taking, it's not that bad!! i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll12/mamadmac/HPIM2415-1.jpgCongrats again to all who got to experience Jason in Georgia!!! The JSBs and the DreadHeads in general are awesome! Donnna Mac!!! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: Donnna Mac!!! on August 23, 2008, 08:03:52 PM Here's a few more photos I thought you might like.... ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: rosequeen49 on August 23, 2008, 08:34:08 PM Quote from: 4everBlueJeanBaby on August 23, 2008, 01:09:09 PM Quote from: roy_33 on August 23, 2008, 09:12:37 AM PRNC5 and 4everBlueJeanBaby - you may have already left for Texas - I'm sure you will have a blast.

I love the expression and the blurred hand on the uke too! Do you use photoshop? I'm going to copy your version to put in my picture folders and accounts. You did a good job. Thanks to all DH's for the comments on my pics. I did not get to meet him, but I had great seats.

Sorry it's blurry, but for a picture I don't even remember taking, it's not that bad!! ha ha that is hillarious slash sad... i had pics on my camera, too, and had absolutely no recollection of handing my camera off to abby's mom who took the pics! hopefully the whole adventure comes back to your mind eventually. thanks for posting! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: keahgirl8 on August 24, 2008, 10:01:51 AM Quote from: poisnivy on August 24, 2008, 07:17:11 AM Quote from: needacoke on August 23, 2008, 06:13:43 PM OMG thanks diane!!! that's awesome! ;D ahhh just 6 days ago too!

Jason took two pictures with me to make sure they turned out okay... neither were great, but I'm sure not complaining ;D He was soooo nice. I gave him a Chick-fil-A calendar, and he started to sign it. I told him it was for him and he asked what he was, but the ridiculous crowd around me made it impossible for him to hear my explanation. I've never seen people so intense. They were pushing and shoving from 8 deep My hair kept getting pulled and my left arm was pinned between two women for a good 10 minutes. It was not an ideal situation, but it was totally worth the wait. I saw the calendar tucked under Jason's arm in some pictures, but I didn't notice it in pictures as he got further down the line. I was worried, but Betsy assured me that he got it. Maybe he just passed it off to a security person or something. Anyway, the show was great, and the five boys were AMAZING!! I didn't care too much for Syesha, and Ramiele just seems out of her league. I liked KLC so much more than I did on the show. As much as I disliked Archie on the show, I loved him in person. DC was good, but he wasn't the best one. He might have even been the least favorite of mine of all the guys. Carly disappointed me after the show. One girl next to me was begging for a picture, but she told her she didn't have time. Then she took a picture with a couple people just a few feet away from us. The girl almost cried. I barely even noticed Ramiele because she went so quick. KLC impressed me because she really took her time with people. Jason was the same way... only better haha. Just because he's Jason KLC was probably my favorite of all the girls. She really seemed in her element that night and had a lot of fun. MJ was amazing!! He sounded so good. I was surprised he didn't come outside since he's from the ATL area. I had a letter for DC, but since he didn't come out, I ended up giving it to Jeff Archuleta. Not the best move, but it was either him or no one. Some people actually booed him when he came outside, and I thought that was pretty rude. Anyway, the night was AMAZING!! It took me awhile for it to actually sink in that I MET JASON CASTRO!! Anyway, I'm in Missouri now for my new job, so y'all wish me luck!! I'm not looking forward to living out of a suitcase for the next 2 1/2 months The JSBs were great, and I'm sorry I didn't get to spend more time with y'all... thanks for making my concert experience unforgettable ;D ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: keyeser on August 25, 2008, 04:30:43 PM Quote from: overstrung on August 19, 2008, 12:07:33 AM Quote from: HannaB2 on August 18, 2008, 11:43:33 PM LOL I love that t-shirt that says "I ate toast for dinner on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for 4 months.

TOOOOOO Funny! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: keyeser on August 25, 2008, 04:32:32 PM Quote from: MomOf6 on August 19, 2008, 05:19:53 AM I arrived at the arena about 1/2 hour before showtime. Saw where the Dreadheads/Jason's Southern Belles had BBQ--right in front where EVERYONE and their mothers had to walk by!! I'm sure they had a fantastic time. Met a few Dreadheads inside----WE ARE A FRIENDLY GROUP of fans...my husband got the biggest kick out of us all speaking to each other!! Jason was unbelievely awesome in person....I know everyone has been saying that, but he truly is!! His personality just radiates beyond belief from the stage. I, unfortunately, didn't get to see the idols after the show (had to get the kids in bed), but I honestly don't think I could of handled meeting Jason in person...I was shaking just watching him on stage. I made a light up "Jason" sign that I swear he pointed to at least twice....I'm going to believe he did, anyway. The Jason Castro/I Shot the Tambourine Man shirts were a hit. The man behind me called at least three people to tell them about it. JASON CASTRO AND THE DREADHEADS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A light up Jason sign - soo creative!!!! Dreadheads are awesome! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: keyeser on August 25, 2008, 04:35:09 PM Kali, you pic with Cookie is a hoot.

First time i've seen any of them live! First i went around looking for some dreadheads in the place. I saw sooo many Jason fans, i didn't get usernames because was in a hurry. I was wearin a blue polo collared shirt and jeans. hope yall saw me Me and my friends finally found our seats. I didn't bring my camera because a buddy of mine was bringing his and i would just get the pics he took. Anyway here's my review: I thought Chikezie started the show off so well! He was really good. He had alot of energy and he is such a kind person from everything i've heard. I wish him the best. Ramiele - I lovedddddd her! I didn't understand why the crowd wasn't as enthusiastic, but i cheered and whistled on! She was really fun with "I Want You Back" and had some cute dance moves Then her slow song i thought was really pretty. She's got a great voice, she just needs to show it off more. She made safe song selections on AI. Then it was "If I Never See Your Face Again" it was interesting to see one person singing it, and i thought she did really well! It's supposed to be a duet, but all in all i thought it was awesome and she is just so pretty Michael - He said he was happy to be back in Georgia, that made me happy As for his set, i thought he did really well with the Dolly Parton song. One of my favorites of the whole season. He killed the rest of his set. He's much better live IMO Kristy - I think she will do pretty good for herself with country, as long as they write some good songs for her! She's got a heck of a voice! Carly - My least favorite on the show, but i was pleasantly surprised, she was pretty good! Gave off a good rock vibe and she got the crowd back into it. My favorite song of her's was the Evanescence song she did. Brooke - She is beautiful and i loved her. I'm buying her album for sure. I loved Let It Be. ahh i just love her. So sweet and she reminded everyone about Idol Gives Back. Then the group song. It wasn't bad, and the Idols seemed to have fun with it Intermission. Met some nice ladies Jason - oausfuobasf. amazing. the end. he's awesome Syesha - She's quite a looker my buddy had his eyes on her the whole time. no joke. i was like gah. She has a nice voice live. She seemed sort of tired though. David A - I thought he was a'ight! Angels was my favorite from him. He seems more comfortable with dancing on the upbeat songs David C - He rocked the house down. I loved his set. Maybe my 3rd favorite of the night. All in all i had quite a great time, i'm so sorry i couldn't meet y'all! It was my dad's birthday and we were celebrating so i couldn't show up before! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: LGMAMAOFTWO on August 27, 2008, 05:08:35 PM eze - nice review dude!! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: ezefan1991 on August 27, 2008, 07:32:31 PM lol, thanks LG! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on August 28, 2008, 05:59:00 AM Quote from: LGMAMAOFTWO on August 27, 2008, 05:08:35 PM eze - nice review dude!! +1, very nice! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: CJ on August 28, 2008, 06:01:43 AM Quote from: roy_33 on August 27, 2008, 04:35:57 PM Quote from: CJ on August 27, 2008, 10:57:05 AM I am still bummed that the pic that Jason tried to take of us did not take.

I was also thinking should we start a JSB thread in the culture community thread at JSM? I saw the Glendale girls did. Maybe that can be a place we all can chat. What do you think? Carrie ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: BundleofJoy on August 30, 2008, 03:58:28 PM Yeah, Carrie, Yeah! Right now I am desperately trying to finally post my pictures, my first time ever. I am a doofus when it comes to computer stuff so wish me luck! I miss you guys so much and haven't had time to catch up so I love your idea of the JSB thread! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: roy_33 on August 30, 2008, 04:20:04 PM Quote from: BundleofJoy on August 30, 2008, 04:01:23 PM Dang! I suck! Sorry! Well Joy, I give you credit for trying - I have a few pictures and got a photobucket account but that's as far as I got. I'm trying to remember if we got to see you on LKL - seems like we did. I think you were to the right of poisnivy and 4ever was behind poisnivy hiding behind the poster. Ya'll did us proud. 4ever - I love the idea of a JSB thread. I would really love it if we could all get together again - just didn't get the chance to spend time with everyone. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: BundleofJoy on August 30, 2008, 04:26:08 PM Hi Roy! I miss you guys! I would love to get together again. We were so anxiously awaiting Jason that we weren't able to just chill and chat! ;DWhat an awesome, incredible day, huh? I will treasure every minute of it always. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: roy_33 on August 30, 2008, 04:33:36 PM Quote from: BundleofJoy on August 30, 2008, 04:26:08 PM Hi Roy!

I will treasure every minute of it always. I really miss the planning of our concert and JSB tailgate party. It was so hectic getting everything together but lots of fun too. It's too bad everyone couldn't come to dinner and the poster party Sunday night. It was great getting to meet everyone in a relax setting. You brought the foam dreadheads, right? Gee, it so hard to remember all of this. I think I remember you posting about them. They were so cute. I think choppersmom brought a dreadhead too. Of course, her hubby's shirt was the BIG hit of the night. Maybe one day we can have a JSB reunion - meanwhile we can have the JSB thread. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: MomOf6 on August 30, 2008, 04:36:55 PM Quote from: BundleofJoy on August 30, 2008, 04:26:08 PM Hi Roy!

A JSB reunion since some of us weren't able to get together before the concert. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: 4everBlueJeanBaby on August 30, 2008, 05:03:15 PM Ok guys I opened the JSB site over at the official JCM. It's in the Custom Blend Jason Castro Community thread. Lets reunite over there!!!! Carrie ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: 4everBlueJeanBaby on August 30, 2008, 05:04:11 PM Bundle of Joy are you using photobucket? You have to post your pics from there.

I got my pictures onto photobucket but haven't been able to succeed past that. My computer at home has slowed to a snails pace and I can't figure out why and my sister's computer keeps kicking me out everytime I change pages or sites. This computer I'm using right now at work is working great but I can't do Jason stuff all night cuz I have to keep my job! ;D Hopefully I'll get it all figured out this week!!! I haven't had a chance to write you and thank you properly but thank you soooooo much for all of your hard work in making our tailgate party such a huge success! It was such an awesome day and I will treasure it and all the Dreadheads forever!! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: lwilly on September 01, 2008, 02:17:14 PM hey everyone- all you wonderful JSB's!! I've missed you all much and really miss the excitement (and stomach churning nerves???) working up to THE DAY we would all finally meet in Duluth and get to meet our head dread..still so sad about LKL taking him away from us, but moving on...trying to find a comfortable niche on the JCM site, kind of hard to get used to new digs and figure things out.....excited when I see some of your posts on there, like Carrie and Bundle of Joy!! Makes me feel 'at home" again! Only real thread I've been in over at JCM is the street teaming name contest...kind of miss getting on here at DDB so hope most of you will still be here at DDB checking in??? I still haven't managed to upload photos and videos, but have to say thanks to all of you who did- some great shots of all of us together, and my bus banner and such that I didn't get!! Have any of you bought the official JC fan club membership? or any of the other merchandise? ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: roy_33 on September 01, 2008, 05:28:39 PM Quote from: lwilly on September 01, 2008, 02:17:14 PM hey everyone- all you wonderful JSB's!!

Have any of you bought the official JC fan club membership? or any of the other merchandise? lwilly - hi, how are you doing? I miss everyone and the excitement of the concert too - it was so hectic but so much fun - all of us posting like crazy. I don't know if I ever told you how awesome your banner was - very impressive - you must be an artist. I don't remember if I have a picture or not but I know others do. I have so few pictures and I may eventually get them in photobucket. Yes, I got the fan club membership and the black t-shirt. I think I am JCM 131. 4everbluejeanbaby started a JSB thread in JCM - that's about the only one I have looked at - maybe a couple of others but then I can't find them again. I think she has the link a few posts up or maybe one page over. I've been posting both places. It's harder to navigate over there - well, maybe it isn't but I'm not use to it yet. Of course, it took me awhile when I first came to ddb from AI. Hope you and all the JSBs had a good weekend. You are in Mobile, right. How about Gustav - any problems for your area? ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on September 01, 2008, 06:46:40 PM Guys, are we mostly on here now or the new site? I want to know how everyone is who's in the path of Gustav and now Hanna. We were in Louisiana over the weekend and just returned LATE last night-- now we're back in Georgia waiting for Hanna I guess. Anyone seen aaron'sbabygirl? She's down there in Louisiana, may not have electricity, though. For some reason I recall poisonivy also from down that way?? I may be getting senile with my lack of sleep & long drive though... ;D ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: roy_33 on September 01, 2008, 06:54:17 PM Quote from: TigerSooner4Aggie on September 01, 2008, 06:46:40 PM Guys, are we mostly on here now or the new site?

GA. I posted asking if anyone had heard from abg but nothing yet. How were things in LA over the weekend? Kali may be impacted by Hanna - not sure who else. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: lwilly on September 01, 2008, 07:26:26 PM hey roy_33 ( Jean!!) glad you liked the banner- I had fun painting it ( once i figured out how to do it to make it look- bus-like) I'm an art teacher, not much of an "artist' any more, but I kind of dabble still when I can......just sorry we didn;t get to hang it on the barricades when Jason came out! and -I wish I had gotten all of you to sign it! we kept movin it, remember- so I'm hangin on to it, for next time, whenever that might be! I do live here on the gulf coast...a totally rainy windy system, no damage around the streets as far I can tell here in my neighborhood, but schools are closed tomorrow here and in Mobile...maybe some of the bus routes are having problems...we did have 5 or more tornado warnings today, but I haven't heard of any damages. I definitely can use an extra day, today I was such a slug, sleeping, watching the weather channel most of the day,...UGH feel like blah! totally over-prepared, dried foods, canned foods, batteries, water..but it'll last me through the rest of hurricane season and it looks like there's 3 or more systems out there working their way towards us so.....I is ready!! I'll try to pm aaronsbabygirl- not sure where exactly in La she lives but I'm sure all is well...if she had to evacuate , they're not allowed back into the area until after tomorrow, I think...if anyone hears from her or any of our JSB's from that area, please let us all know! love you guys!! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: roy_33 on September 01, 2008, 07:58:12 PM Quote from: lwilly on September 01, 2008, 07:26:26 PM hey roy_33 ( Jean!!) glad you liked the banner- I had fun painting it ( once i figured out how to do it to make it look- bus-like) I'm an art teacher, not much of an "artist' any more, but I kind of dabble still when I can......just sorry we didn;t get to hang it on the barricades when Jason came out! and -I wish I had gotten all of you to sign it! we kept movin it, remember- so I'm hangin on to it, for next time, whenever that might be!

I think she lives in Slidell - don't know where that is - and she was not going to evacuate. She posted a couple of times in the JSB thread at JCM. Have you been there yet? ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on September 01, 2008, 09:32:24 PM Slidell is pretty far south, so she may have had some electricity issues. I'll keep an eye out for her. We were in central Louisiana (Alexandria) on Sunday morning before we left to drive home, and when we left it was fine, but I've talked to my mom several times today and they've had strong winds and rains-- lots of downed trees, power lines, and roof damage causing some flooding inside her house and a cousin's house, but hopefully they can get that fixed soon. Overall it seems like the storm caused less damage than was feared so hopefully things can get back to a semblance of normalcy by week's end. I've got to get over to the new site more-- hard to juggle two homes, LOL! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: PRNC5 on September 01, 2008, 09:43:03 PM Hey guys, been pretty much out of commision the last few days - cought whatever Carrie had on our trip out to Dallas. I hope all those in the path of the storm are doing okay. Ya'll please check in with us here or over at JCM when ya get a chance. We're worried about ya! I've been trying to feel my way around over there on the new site; love that Carrie got the JSB thread rollin for us. We have to all stay in touch and be ready to plan our next get together when more Jason news rolls in! See ya'll over there! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: roy_33 on September 02, 2008, 05:31:31 PM aaronsbabygirl posted on the JSB thread on JCM. She now has power. They had a generator and had fans going during the storm. Says she is disappointed in the storm - I think she wanted a little more storm than they got. She said they had 6" of water. Anyway, head over to JCM, the cafe section and you can see what else she had to say. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on September 04, 2008, 11:11:44 AM Quote from: roy_33 on September 02, 2008, 05:31:31 PM aaronsbabygirl posted on the JSB thread on JCM.

Hope things are back to normal now. Looks like the next storms are headed east - Kali is worried about Hanna since she is flying to Rhode Island Friday night. ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: poisnivy on September 05, 2008, 11:51:18 AM haha i actually went over to the ai boards for a few minutes to check out their tour section.. look what i found posted from an archie! That night, I spent about 2 hours (from midnight to 2 in the morning) making iron on t-shirts for the tour. I made one for myself with Archie's pic from the guitar hero commercial, and it said, "David Archuleta is my Guitar Hero!". I made 2 for my mom and grandma, which had a group pic of the Idols. I had the most difficult time falling asleep that night - I was so anxious, it was crazy. The next morning we got up at about 9 a.m. (I probably slept about 3 hours honestly. haha!) and headed out with my grandma to the pre-show meet n' greet. We stopped at McDonald's on the way to the arena to grab a quick bite. Note to self: Balancing a box of chicken nuggets AND barbecue sauce in one hand and a drink in the other is NOT a good idea. We got to the arena at about 11:15, and the first thing we saw when we parked was a tent, some people, and a super cute Jason Castro set up on the grass near the arena. They had a "Welcome to Georgia, Jason!" banner, and a little cartoon puppet of him - super super cute. So we walked over to this group of people that was forming in front of some double doors to the arena. After a few questions, we were told that the Idols would come out for a meet n' greet at 2:30. So, we waited like the psycho fans we are. We stood in the front a little ways from the doors, and watched as some barricades were being set up. There weren't enough, so we stood in a more open area. We spoke to some very nice Word Nerds in line, and helped pass the time. At 3:00 (they said the Idols would come at 2:30, by the way), this guy named Jet or Jedd or something comes out to tell us that the Idols are in hair and makeup getting ready for Larry King Live, and didn't want to be "wilted". Yeah, wilted. My mom was a bit more than angry, and we wanted to start a full scale protest but decided we didn't want to be kicked out for beating up this Jet/Jedd guy (kidding of course!). So my spirit was shot, but I thought, "I'm still going to the concert - why am I upset?!" so I felt alot better. I noticed looking in the window of the arena that there were 10 chairs set up on the second floor of the building, and thought that that would be for the Idols' filming. My mom and I stood outside the window to watch with a bunch of other people, and low and behold - about 20 minutes later, the Idols come walking by on the second floor to go to their filming. I spazzed out and took some video, but you can pretty much only hear me spazzing out, some girls next to me screaming their brains out, and people talking with one syllable words - "Cook!" "Ahhh!" "What?!" "Look!" "There!". Yeah - when you're feeling that crazy, you can hardly speak. So we were pretty much losing it over seeing the Idols for all of 10 seconds walk by to their interview which wasn't even visible anyways. So, like the crazy fans we are, we waited the hour for them to finish taping, and to watch them walk by again for another 10 seconds to go back to where they had come from on the other side. Again, we were freaking out, but had progressed to 2-3 syllable words. "David!!!" "Jason!!!" "OMG!!!" "It's them!" "What?!?!" "I think I'm gonna pass out!". So, from 11:30 a.m. to about 4:30, we've gotten roughly 20 seconds of Idol time through a window to the second floor. But we couldn't be happier! We'd seen them! And not on TV this time! So we decided to go back to our hotel for a few minutes to drop off my grandma who was complaining from the heat and wasn't going to the concert anyways, so we took her back to relax in the air conditioning. We came back at about 5:30 after eating some chips and snacks we had in the room. Back at the arena, my mom and I got in line to get into the concert. Once inside, we bought our souvenirs (of course), which consisted of a tour program, flashing little light thing (haha!), a t-shirt, and a mug. We walked over to the entrance for the arena, and my heart literally sped up. When you first enter, you're at the top of the arena, and have to walk down the flights of steps to get to the bottom floor seats. I kept getting that nervous feeling in my stomach that you get when you're really excited about something, and almost ran up to our seats. We had to verify our tickets with the woman down below, to make sure we really did have floor seats. After that, we went up to the 2nd row, and that was when I really had the chance to take it all in. We were up by the left side of the stage, with 4 seats in front of us, and a fence in front of that small row, blocking off the stage. We started talking to the people around us, you know, just letting the time pass, and before we knew it, this guy named like, Mario or something comes out and says he's the host, and starts getting us all pumped up and ready. I was on my feet and freaking out (I stayed standing the entire concert - I couldn't even sit at all! I was too excited!), and then this pop tart dude came out (dressed as a pop tart haha!) and started launching t-shirts into the crowd. Soon the concert starts. haha we made such an impact on people! lol ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: TigerSooner4Aggie on September 06, 2008, 09:38:31 AM YAY!! How cool is that?? Too bad she didn't stick around when the catering van rolled up, LOL!! She'd have been raving over it! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: PRNC5 on September 08, 2008, 08:29:55 PM Nice! We keep hearing stories like this from other fanbases about the impact the JSBs made. We really did represent for our boy - he deserves the best fans ever, and he definately has a great group of JSBs behind him! Can't wait to see you all again! ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: poisnivy on September 23, 2008, 07:27:01 AM hey guys do y'all want to save this thread in case we lose ddb? i know we have a lot of this copied to JCM.. but i know it's not the whole thing.. i figure maybe we can split it up and say each of us save 5 pages or so? ####################Title: Re: 18 AUG~~~ Atlanta Post by: poisnivy on September 24, 2008, 04:26:15 PM ok.. i followed a tip from chatter and i think i've got us saved text anyway.. we can bring pics over later!
