I posted this awhile ago over @ DDB and thought some of you could add to it here. Over the past few months, I have been amazed at the creativity of Jason's fans! You have proven that it is not the amount of money you spend on a gift, but it's the thought behind it that creates a special moment. Jason has created so many special moments for us with his music and his willingness to share himself with his fans night after night. This thread is a tribute to all of you who have made special moments for Jason. I'm sure it's a whirlwind for him now, but when things quiet down, he will look back on these special gifts, signs, and special words that his fans have given to him and shared with him. So, let's start a walk down memory lane for Jason by posting photos of the special fan gifts and moments that stand out in our minds. Of course, it all started with Blaker's wonderful and creative logo!  and then the 150 balloons sent to Jason when he was sick (Dreadheads on AI!)  And who could forget all those post cards!!!  Let's see what creative gifts you've given to Jason and the amazing banners, signs, shirts, etc. you've made to support Jason in his amazing journey! ETA: Breaking this post up into smaller pieces! It keeps freezing up the page for me ... continued below |

While he was still on the show, Bus #21 got together and had this dreamcatcher made for him with a tiger eye center stone. With it we sent a card with each of our personal wishes for him to keep reaching for the stars, never letting his dreams slip away.  |

I'm glad you started this thread! I was thinking about making one on DDB, and I never did! Can I add a picture of the bracelet I made?

Here's the first of the two group gifts from Castrocopia (envelope lovingly decorated by my sweet baby daughter, McMuffin):  The letter inside that envelope was explaining what was in the bag: The Fun and Games Pack
From Castrocopia
- One MarioKart Game: It all started when we decided to get you this game. Then we were carried away on a wave of squee and had to find a bigger gift bag.
- One Phlat Ball: Throw a disc, catch a ball. Srsly – that’s their slogan. Now we’re all wondering why we didn’t just go into advertising, ‘cause, even WE could have come up with that.
- More games: Pass the Pigs and Uno. It sounded like a good idea at the time.
- One Nerf Reactor: We heard rumour of planned shenanigans. The Nerf Reactor is guaranteed to stop shenanigans-ers at 20 paces. But only for a second, so we hope you can run fast.
- Barnes & Noble Gift Card: Because we know you like to read, but if we started talking about what book to get you we would have ended up discussing weird things we’ve seen while sitting in traffic or something equally unrelated because we can’t focus to save our lives.
- Chips and salsa: See what happens when you mention that you like something in an interview?
- Fruit Snax: These used to be a Tuesday night tradition at Castrocopia – fruit snax + beer + voting like crazy. It tastes better than it sounds. If you could taste voting, that is. Try the Squidwards in the Sponge Bob box. Excellent.
- Chik-Fil-A Gift Card: Mmmmm. Waffle fries.
- Retractable Sharpies: We’re afraid you’re going to choke on a Sharpie lid one of these days and we’d rather that doesn’t happen until at least after your CD is released. =)
- Burts Bees Lip Balm: You ever noticed all the crap they have on display at the check-out stand? Impulse buys, they call those.
- An iTunes card and an Amazon gift certificate. Because we love your voice and your music so much, we wanted you to be able to pick out some songs from anyone who gives you the same joy that you give us.
Thanks, Jason. Thanks for rocking.
With much love from all of us at Castrocopia
And then the Amazon Gift Card said: A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. ~ Leopold Stokowski. In appreciation for the way you fill the quiet - Castrocopia The second one was a 'mixtape' we made for him; a bunch of us submitted songs and we ended up with almost 2 gigs of music for him that we put on a flash drive:  |
