Hi Dreadheads,
I can't believe it's been a week already since Jason's NY show! And it's been a long week for me & my family, with my dad's health situation. An update - he came home from the hospital this weekend, with a heart failure treatment plan - it's going to be a long recovery but he's determined to get back to normal, so I hoping for the best - I think he'll do well!
Thanks again to everyone for all your prayers & good wishes - you're all so wonderful & it means a lot to me!
I've really been enjoying reading all your show reports, & seeing the pics & vids. Ahh, the magic of technology! Almost as good as actually being there!
Glo, peachez, & rosequeen, your photos are especially amazing. I think Jason is beautifully expressive when he performs - he really feels every word & emotion, & every note & tone of his songs... & you captured his many expressions so well! If it's OK, I would love to be able to copy some of them to my computer, (to add to my hundreds of Jason photos!) just for me to enjoy & to show to friends; I would never repost them. I know that's a lot to ask, but would it be OK?
It's also great seeing pics of all of you together - some familiar faces, & some I recognize from your profile pics here. A nationwide, international representation of all us fans - I'm sure Jason was so pleased & excited to see you all there for him! And I can tell by your big smiles that you were all so thrilled - what an awesome adventure!
And thanks, Glo, cookie & musiclova, for posting all the great vids, so we all can see them - altogether, I think you got the entire show covered! They really turned out great; I love seeing the different vantage points. I added them all to my favorites folder on youtube, so I'll be able to see them over & over. (If you notice your view numbers going up a lot, it will probably be me!)
And I love reading all the show reports!
Flying, just want to say again how happy I am that you & Sher had a wonderful time at your first Jason show!! And that your time in NY was a "most memorable event" in your life! I love the pic of you & Sher with your Canadian flag!
jasonbeliever, your description of meeting everyone as "Dreadhead/Castrocopia heaven" is perfect. I think many of us feel that way when we've met each other at Jason's shows - Jason's love, enthusiam, sweetness & positive energy are reflected in his fans!
musiclova, what an amazing adventure for you, coming by bus from Maine - glad you got a warm welcome from Deborah77 & others! Was this your first Jason show? I'm glad to read that you had a great time & it was worth the trip!
deborah77, I love your description of Jason's performance - "he puts his entire heart into each song like no other artist..." Well-said! And yes, he's "funny and charming and adorable" too!
peachez, what an awesome way to spend your birthday!! And you got a Happy Birthday from Jason, too - I'm sure that was an unforgettable birthday present! I love reading all the excitement & emotion in your report!
rosequeen, I am so glad you finally made it out to the East Coast for this epic show! I love the pic of you with the guitar - you look like a rock star! And your report made me smile - your energy, enthusiasm & wit really come out in your words! "...events like this leave me speechless...(I know that's a hard concept)" Too funny, & I know just what you mean; not much leaves me speechless either, but sometimes I don't have the words to say how amazing Jason's shows have been! And your description of his performances, from Garland to NY - "It's like watching him learn to crawl to watching him learning to fly" is so lovely, & so true - he's really grown so much from his AI days; & it's wonderful for us to see his growth & to look forward to his future. And your story about introducing Flying as a "Jason virgin" to Rene made me LOL so hard I thought I'd wake up my boyfriend, sleeping in the next room!! (I'm glad he's a deep sleeper!) Oh my gosh, that sounds like something I would say!! I have foot-in-mouth moments, when I'm caught up in something & rambling on, barely noticing what I'm saying, & then realizing it & trying to explain...!! Aaaah! I'm glad Rene took it with good humor, & I love your pic of you & Flying with him! I think I missed meeting you most of all, rosequeen (haha - that sounds like Dorothy to the scarecrow!!) & I hope you'll make it out to another East Coast show sometime!
OK, that's enough from me!
Thanks again to everyone for your good wishes & for sharing Jason's show here!
Peace, Love & Dreads,
♥ LindaRas
