pics of mcas are a must!
i had to throw that in there
I can't promise...I think he may be back at school by then. But if he's there, you know I will get them for you! hahaha!
I was just going to say the same thing. He went back to school this weekend cause classes start on Monday so if he goes to a concert I am guessing it will be the Houston one....but you never know....we could all be surprised.
And like Trish....I too will keep on the lookout and get some photos....
thanks ladies!
he told us he would be at the dallas show ;D keep ur eyes peeled!

I'm starting my concert account:
Woke up at 5:00 am, couldn't sleep, knew I'd need my energy today, but decided since I'm lying in bed already shaking I'm probably going to have to feed off adrenalin. Got dressed, snuck out of my hotel room, and came and found the "Business Center" of our hotel. Logged in and IIIIIIIIIIII"MMMMMMMMMMM ssssssssssssssooooooooooooooo EEEEEEXXXXXXXCCCCCCCCIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Last night I attended the pre-concert BBQ in Rockwall where I had a blast and met some of the greatest Dreadheads.
I sat with PRNC5 (she says that is pronounced "princess"
) and 4EverinBlueJeans. It's soo fun meeting people you've talked to for 6 months and even worked on projects with, but never met face to face. I also had a wonderful talk with Jason's Grandmother Castro and one of his uncles. I know partly why we all love the family soooo much - super, super extended family.
There were about 75? people and it was like a family reunion (the kind where you know everyone in your family :
sidenote: when I returned and was bouncing off the walls, my husband says:
"I really think these people would let you stay in their homes if you needed to." (hahaha, he's starting to "get it".
I said well yeah, I'd let them stay at our house."
p.s. that's not an open invitation, but if you need me, you know where to pm me. ;D
Last comments about last night:
* The Quilt was there hung for viewing and let me say. The internet does not do it justice. It is about 2MILLION times prettier in person. I so wish everyone could see it with their own eyes. It's like the Lincoln Memorial, you have to see it to really understand. Standing Ovation to those of you who took part in it. I didn't, but sure wish I had.
* Tx49er and the Dallas Dreadheads did an unbelievable job on the BBQ. The food was delicious and Sandimae there was plenty and some left over. Thank you, thank you, thank you for organizing and doing all that ground work for people like me to just come and have a great time.
* Finally, Jason has the most wonderful fans, of ALL ages, and I'm sooo proud to be a Dreadhead.WOW, NOW ON TO THE STALKING, MORE MEET UPS, and CONCERT!!!!!!!!!

boatlady is going to the afterparty tonight to give Jason the quilt. She may just get a pic, she does not know how much they will allow in terms of videos. But she is on it and i will bring whatever she posts on my space or ai boards over here! I hope he likes it. So many people contributed to it, beginning with Rosequeen, some of the dreadheads who worked on it i think are gone off the boards now : (
The pics are great, thanks Lady Texan, we haven't seen closeups with the quilting stiches. Thanks!
