I got to meet everybody except David Cook! He had press in the afternoon and couldn't come out last night because he had to fly to LA. Jason, Carly, and Syesha also had press in the afternoon and didn't get to come out until after the concert.
Jason is sooo sweet! Here are the pics that I got. Thanks to Lojolauk's friend Donnalynn for taking all the pictures yesterday afternoon! Thanks to my friend Denise for taking the picture of Jason and me last night!

We had an AWESOME time!!!! I got to meet Jason again and I was sooooo happy! He is the sweetest thing ever and was kind enough to take this photo of him and I together. There were so many people there, I could barely get close enough to the barricade to get a photo with him and I said to him, "you might have to take the photo." He said, "That's okay, that's something I've gotten very good at now!" LOL!! It came out a little blurry but that's just fine by me!! Got to put my arm around him and his arm was across the back of my shoulders, so it was ALL GOOD!!! ha ha I'll have more photos to post later with some of the other idols. My photos in the concert itself didn't turn out real good, unfortunately (crappy camera). It was also great seeing Beckyvee again and meeting some of our other fellow Dreadheads!! Everyone was soooo nice!

Most of my photos outside came out really dark so I did my best to lighten them up.

Here are a couple of photos taken at the Bossier City concert, courtesy of Val Horvath/the Times.
All of the Idols were wearing the Mardi Gras beads that we passed out before the concert during the final group number!! It was really cool!

Thanks!! I hope he liked it. I just thought it was a really cool looking graphic, and I wanted to get something with guitars on it. I hope I get to see a photo with him wearing it one day!! All I had a chance to do was hand him my gift bag over other people's heads and say, "this is for you." He took it, said thank you and set it down behind him so he could continue signing autographs and taking pictures with everyone who asked, including me
He didn't have time to even look in the bag!! LOL! But he picked the bag up when he started moving down the line. I also included some LSU Tiger Dust and a six pack of little tiny bottles of Tabasco sauce (made in Louisiana), plus I gave him the Mardi Gras beads that I had around my neck. He already had some on, so he took them and put them on his arm. Then a minute later I heard him say, "these are getting really hot!" and he took them all off! I don't blame him - it was incredibly hot and sticky out there, even at 11 o'clock at night. Thank you to Jason and all of the Idols who came out and were so gracious to all of us.

Hey tx49er!! We had a wonderful time. Wish I could have made it to the Dallas show, too - I would have loved to see all of y'all again. ezacly is the one wearing the pink hat, holding the middle umbrella. She and her "krewe" are the ones responsible for the beautiful banner and umbrellas. Oh, and by the way, Becky and I did give her that hug that you asked us to give!!

Hey sixtimemom! We did have pretty good seats. I just wish I had had a better camera, and a steadier hand! LOL! When we were passing out the Mardi Gras beads before the concert, Beckyvee told all of the Idols that we wanted to see them wearing the beads during the concert and I remember Brooke saying something like, "Oh, I don't know if they'll let us." So we were absolutely THRILLED to see all of them wearing the beads when they came out for the final group performance. Even the Idols that didn't come out before the concert had them on (Jason, David Cook, Carly and Syesha).

I want to also thank mustlovedreads for providing us with the Mardi Gras "dreads" that we wore in our hair (very, very CUTE!!) and annie12 for making the personalized masks that Beckyvee handed out to each Idol that came out before the concert. It was sooo much fun, even in the heat!

I love the umbrellas and masks and beads. Look at Chikezie with that mask!
Thanks for your reports. I hope someone taped Jason's performance and will put it on YouTube so we can send it to MasterClass Lady.

Hey LGMAMAOFTWO!! Yes, I was standing right next to ezacly when she called you! That was probably me you heard screaming the loudest - I can have a big mouth when I want to!! LOL! Matter of fact, my throat's a little sore today after all the screaming for Jason that I did during the concert. We had a BLAST!!

I bought our tickets to the Bossier City show the day they went on sale. Then at some point, I decided that being it would be my daughter's second day of school, the hour & a half drive (each way) would just be too much. Plus, she has band practice on Tuesdays after school and this Friday is the first football game, so she couldn't miss. So, I had decided to sell my tickets
. But something kept me from actually following through on selling them. Yesterday, as I was waiting in my car for Lindsay to get out of band practice, I was reading an email on my cell phone from a friend who went to the show in Dallas on Monday. I couldn't stand it and decided that I just had to see Jason!! When Lindsay got to the car, I said, "Do you want to go to the concert?" And she said, "Duh!" So we got home as fast as we could and while she was taking a shower, I printed out the tickets. They were on my old computer, so I had to get it hooked back up to the printer. It took forever and I was beginning to think that it just wasn't meant to be. But I finally got them printed and we were on our way at 6:00. We didn't make it there until 45 minutes into the concert. Carly was singing her first song when we got there. Then we saw Brooke, then it was already time for intermission.
Then came our reason for going!!! As you can see, we had incredible seats! I am using the zoom, but we could see perfectly fine!! You could tell Jason was having throat problems, but he still sounded incredible!!
Even though we had work and school the next day, we couldn't leave without trying to meet Jason. And our wait was rewarded! Right before he got to us, they told him he had to hurry because they were about to leave, so he stopped taking pictures with people, but we got to say hello to him and took his picture while he was signing autographs.
We had a wonderful time and it was worth every single hour of lost sleep. I can't wait until Jason is back home and doing shows in the Dallas area. We will SO be there!

Yes. That's the only way to describe him. I keep trying to explain this to people and you can't really understand it unless you've met him.

That's pretty close. Jason got it right in his video, I think on his last attempt to say it!! The first syllable is pronounced like "bow", the second with sort of a "z" sound to it, like "bow-zhur" if that makes sense.

I WISH I could have got some photos of him in those shorts!! I about died when he came out and I saw him dressed like that!! We were kind of in the middle, he started on the end and the way the barricade was set up, we couldn't see him at all until he was right in front of us so I could not get any "pantz" photos. Bummer! I wish they had set the barricade up in a U-shape or square - then we could have seen him as he went around and we could have got PLENTY of those kinds of photos!! LOL!!
