Well, okay... No one else has started a thread for this and it's coming up a week from tomorrow... I'm going, and I know Lojo and Annie12 (LSUAnnie on twitter ;D) are going... maybe I can bring them back here...

I think it is very apropos that Jason headlined the start of the Texas State Fair and now he is closing the Louisiana State Fair... woohoo... I'm really excited about this concert... just wondering if he's gonna have the band... I know he can handle it solo, but was just wondering...

Hey, JASON!! Are you bringing the band to the Louisiana State Fair???

Okay... reporting like the good little dreadhead I am with an update from tonight's show... well it was late afternoon about fivish when the cheerleading competition FINALLY came to an end and they could set up for Jason. Rene and Betsy came out, and Rene did the sound check while Jackie and Jason were apparently in a back room rehearsing, because Jackie did TWO songs with Jason. Well, I don't have a lot of pics, 'cause the lighting was not good, but here's Betsy and René in the dark with some event people



and René soloing with same event people



anyway, Jason finally comes out and there are a lot of people in the audience, because the competition is over, but they haven't given the results and the trophies yet, so everyone sees Jason and they get really excited... a couple of teenagers in front of us are leaning against the rails with their cameras and phones aimed right at him. He does a quick sound check of his own and then talks to the crowd. He tells them that when he found out what kind of event he was going to be singing at, he was excited, because his audience was gonna consist of professional noise makers (cheerleaders)


So Jason tells them his first song that he's gonna sing is That's What I'm Here For.. and he starts playing and sings "Goodbye" into the mike and STOPS! He can't hear his guitar and we couldn't hear it well, either... so they fix that and he starts again... Someone needs to tweet Brooke White and let her know ;D ;D



Anyway, he does "That's What I'm Here For" and it is great and then he does Love Uncompromised and he sounded good on that and then he calls Jackie up to sing with him and they do You Can Always Come Home... love that song...

Well, then Jason mentions the panel of judges sitting there (the ones who were judging the cheerleading competition) and says it's been awhile since he had to sing in front of a panel of judges. Then he and Jackie sing Let's Just Fall in Love Again... she sounded so good backing him on this. As soon as they finish, the judges all stand up and hold up cards with 10 written on them. I know Rene got a pic of that... I wish he'd twitpic it... I'm sure it will be on JCM at some point in time.

Well, anyway, Jason ended with Hallelujah, and again... sigh...

The meet and greet was outside with the mosquitoes ...



the really cute guy on the very right of the pic is the Atlantic rep traveling with Jason right now... cutie... i'll have to get his name tomorrow...

I handed out over 200 pre-order flyers to people in line and had people coming up to me asking for them... At the end of the meet and greet, Lori (lojolauk) and I got our pic taken with Jason...



and I told Jason that he was going to be seeing me again, but I wasn't following him around, he was gonna be following me to Tyler... pictures tomorrow will be better, because I'll be closer... until then... Good night... early morning tomorrow... JASON ROCKS!!!

Thanks Beckyvee! LOVE YOUR SHIRT BTW! I hope Jackie comes to Ontario too!

[karen2008]

Thanks beckyvee for your recap and pics. So far I haven't seen any videos of Jason's (and Jackie's) performance. It may be because the lighting was so bad. Great pic of you and lojolauk!

[rockwallgirl]
