From my recap: After the show we all lined up for the M&G. They had the line set up behind the table, and then circling around to the front. Thus the perfect PANTZ!elebenty-oneelebenty-one! shot when Jason leaned over the table for a photo with someone!! I couldn't resist it! I told my DD to take the picture when we were right behind him. The girls from the front of the stage - the "backup singers" - and some of their friends were in front of us. They were giggling about Julie taking a pic of Jason's bum. Greenie from Castrocopia was there with her baby boy. When she got her moment with Jason, she took the baby out of his stroller and Jason was holding the baby for a picture. I was still behind him, but I bet that was a gorgeous shot. Jason holding a baby! An AWWW! moment.
There is a picture of Jason holding Greenie's baby here on Castrocopia. Julie and I are in the background. Also a couple of other pictures with Julie, me and the giggling girls behind Jason! www.castrocopia.com/See the write-ups labeled Nutella and Jason + Sprout |

Bennie, loved your recap! And it was sooo good seeing ya at the mall. Awesome pics! The Pantz one is killer! ;D
For me the day was perfect. Parisgirl, Josee, and I got to the mall real early and staked out excellent spots. Later, my sister brought my niece, my daughter, her boyfriend, and my son's good friend who is a very tall, 17 yr. old black guy with dreads and likes Jason a lot. ;D All my teenagers were excited to see Jason.
The day was a blast! I'm still flying high. It was sooo much fun seeing all our familiar fan faces again and meeting so many new ones! My daughter got an excellent picture with Jason and I got a picture too. Jason signed my uke! My son gave it to me for Christmas and when I told him Jason signed it, he was really stoked.
Also, I had made him a little bracelet. I told him it was a tiger-eye dread bead in the bracelet and he said Cool! "I have one of those in my hair!" And he showed it to me! Then he let me put the bracelet on him. So sweet and awesome!
Oh and Bennie was 100% correct about the calendar! It was stunning...breathtaking! Careful not to drool on it. ;D

bennie - great recap - I don't have too much to add. It was good to see friends from previous Jason encounters and meet a few new ones. I walked around the mall and handed out flyers - had good response from most people. We were a little concerned about the crowd because of the weather but 250-300 fans were there to see Jason. Link to JCM pic of the crowd www.jasoncastromusic.com/photo/awesome-crowd-great-turnout-lots-of-new-fans-thanks-for-the-love/I have a picture of Anna - she is adorable - but don't want to post it since I didn't think to get permission. I wish you could see the look on her face. She staked her place out at the front before sound check and didn't budge until the set was over. I think mom and aunt brought food/drinks to her. You can see her from the back in a couple of my pictures - she's the blonde on the front row to the right. She's such a cute girl and was soooo excited about seeing Jason. I don't remember if bennie mentioned Anna and Jason have the same birthday. bennie - we did have a street team photo - it was at the very end and very rushed. Maybe that is why you missed it. Someone gathered us together, Betsy stood in place for Jason until he rushed over for the picture. I think two quick pictures were taken and Jason left. Sacha's mom took the picture and hopefully she will post it on JCM. There are no words for the calendar - major  moments. Sorry to say there was one I didn't care for but the rest - wow. I didn't buy a calendar since I'll get one w/the cd package I ordered. I was using logic at the time but now wish I had hadn't. I'll post my pictures in a few minutes. They are very similar bennie's. Here is a vid from Sachawith3is - it's This Heart of Mine - Jason said he had been trying it out and wanted to play it for us. Said it really needed the band. This may have been the first time he sang it on the mall tour. credit Sachawith3is |

Just remembered something. As Jason left the stage he said "gig em" and I noticed A&M beat Texas Tech (#21) yesterday. I don't follow football but as I recall, A&M is not a football powerhouse so I'm sure they are excited in College Station.

We had a table set up w/Jason flyers, bookmarks, etc. Sachawith3iis, bundleofjoy, me, parisgirl and Josee in the front. I was going to take the picture and one of the kiosk guys came over and took it for us. We met a lot of really nice people who work at Discover Mills and they were all very excited to have Jason there.  Jason at the M&G line  |

I'm loving Jason more and more and more when it's just him and his guitar! They seriously HAVE to let him record an entirely sttripped down acoustic CD. It is THE BEST WAY to appreciate this young man and his music! And Roy.....I LOVEEEE THE JASON DOLL!!! Is it possible to place an order to have one made and shipped to Oregon? Seriously?  ;D |

Roy, I found out earlier today that I missed the group picture with Jason. I was talking to the reporter from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution at that time. He had previously talked to Rebecca and me, and then moved on. I sat down to rest my knees, and Rodney wandered back over with some food and sat down with my daughter and me and talked forever. Next thing I knew Jason was already gone, and y'all were gathering your things up to leave. Oh, well.
