Hi Everyone! Not going to be able to post too, too much right now, but wanted to check in. First of all, Sue, thank you so so so so so much for my DVD's. That was so sweet of you and I can't wait to go home and take a look at them! It was so great to meet you, I only wish we could have talked more! We had an absolute wonderful time. My friends really enjoyed the concert, particularly Jason and Caitlin. Caitlin was an absolute sweetheart, I love her quirky personality!!! You, Sue, were there of course when I got to meet Caitlin---she was so beautiful and nice. Very patient too----no one could figure out how to use my friend's camera at first so we were just kind of standing there posing for what seemed like forever! haha Then right after Caitlin's set my girlfriends and I walked outside for a quick smoke break before Jason's set-----and who else but Jason appears from the other door, and walks outside where we are standing!elebenty-oneelebenty-oneelebenty-one!! My friends had been joking with me all night----at the restaurant, walking around town saying "Look Dawn there's Jason!elebenty-oneelebenty-oneelebenty-oneelebenty-one" (they would do this of course when Jason was no where near---they got enjoyment out of thinking I would fall for it---LOL) so when I had my back turned to Jason and my friend says, "Oh my, there's Jason!!!" I didn't believe her at first...LOL So I run and grab my camera really quick and really luck out with being like the 2nd person in line to talk to him. There wasn't a crowd at all because pretty much everyone was at the stage. So my turn comes and to tell you the truth I can't remember what was said----I still wasn't believing I was going to meet him for the first time-it was surreal!elebenty-one I do remember telling him that it was an honor to meet him, that I was a huge fan, and had been from the start. I gave him 2 EP's to sign----and I told him that one was for my Dad and that my Dad was a huge fan and had asked me to please get one signed for him. He really seemed to light up when I said that---he seemed to think that was really cool. Then I asked him for a picture and he said of course! So my hubby and 2 of my girlfriends all line up with cameras (LOL). My pictures of the performance didn't turn out good with the lighting, but my friend is sending me some she took. I got video of about half of Caitlin's songs, almost all of Jason's set---and about 3 of Matt Hires because my battery was getting very low. Part of me wanted to stick around afterwards but we left on Matt's last song. We had had such a long day, and I had already gotten my pic and my autographs and was able to talk to him briefly, so I was such a happy woman. The Mrs. is beautiful---I had seen pictures, but never seen her in person, and pictures really do her no justice---she is even prettier in person. And Jason----well, Jason is just beautiful. You guys going to future shows are in for a treat. It was so much fun. I think Jason really got some new fans last night in my friends. One in particular said she couldn't wait to go home and download some of his stuff. His voice is so beautiful live. "It Matters To Me" was very touching. I really enjoyed "Closer"--that was the one song I wasn't so familar with. Hallelujah was absolutely gorgeous. I didn't want his set to ever end. I would have loved to have heard "It's Alright With Me". I can't wait to see him again! (This ended up being really long, sorry about that!---I wasn't going to post that much tonight---so much for that!)

Dawn, it was a treat to meet you! I wish we could have talked more, but I had to keep my # 1 spot up front. I'm so glad you got your time with Jason!! And your friends liked him! I had such a blast!
And thanks gailinroch about the video. I've got his entire set but bear with me because one video takes about 2 hrs to uploadand peocess. I might do one more tonight before bed. And will chip away at it throughout the week.

Sue, I put in one of your DVD's last night and I couldn't get over the quality of it! I also stumbled across your Hallelujah on Youtube and absolutely loved it!! I would absolutely love to have a DVD of this concert. I would pay you of course! We'll need to talk and see if maybe this is something we can arrange! I am dying to have a copy. I took video but mine wasn't nearly as good! Again, it was great to meet you. It was so awesome that you got to talk to Jason so much! He was such a sweetheart. It was surreal meeting him after being such a big fan for so long. It is so great seeing someone like him do so well---he is so grounded and gracious to all of his fans. He is so very deserving of all of his dreams coming true! I am going to try to post my pic of me and Jason tonight when I get off of work!
