rojo- I hear that the Ark does a great job and is usually full. The couple attending the show with us is not familiar with Jason or Matt so I'm excited to see their reaction. I think we might need to take separate cars to the venue though - because DH and I will be hanging around to say hello and buy a few things! My friends that finally persuaded me to watch "that show" (that led to my awareness of Jason) really should be rewarded with The Love Uncompromised EP. Hey, Closer or Crazy - which will he play? I love them both! Love Stephen's guitar especially on Crazy. Oh .. the anticipation.

Hi Jcmm, I am so excited. I am taking my neighbor and she has called twice today as she is so excited. Doesn't really know Jason but listened to a boot-leg cd I have and liked his voice. I am also taking my grandson who is a little embarassed-doesn't want his friends to know he is going.
I printed a copy of the seating chart-- I think we are in one row ahead of you. I am planning to leave Saginaw about 4:30pm- go to Ann Arbor,find a place to park aand eat and then go to the show. I want to buy some things also--.

Did anyone hear about the sterling heights thing yesterday? Yes, I heard it on the radio this week-end when I was in Farmington Hills babysitting for my daughter. Jason also twitted he was playing ping-pong last night and that he was heading to Ann Arbor. I replied to his tweet. HaHa. Stacey there is a lot in the back of the Ark as well as a parking garage. If you can find a place on the street there is no charge after 6pm. Cannot wait to see you. |

I reply to his tweets sometimes too, but just found out if he is not following you on twitter he doesn't get them. I don't know all of the ins and outs of twitter. |

That's not true, coocoo. He does get your tweets even if he's not following you (unless your account is protected.) He's @replied to me a couple times and I know he's not following me. You can't send him DMs unless he's following tho.

Hello everyone, I am tired -didn't get home till 1am. But the concert was awesome.
Left home about 4:30pm with my 19 year old grandson and my neighbor and arrived in Ann Arbor in time to find a parking place and for our 6pm dinner reservations at a Greek restaurant 1/2 block away from the venue. Arrived in line about 7:15 and met a lovely lady who asked me if I knew how to live stream the concert from a phone as that was what she wanted to do for her friend"Sunshine" Told her I was tech challenged. But I guess she was able to do it as someone on Castrocopia found it- she has all of Jason's performance as well as his banter from last night. If I knew how to post the link I would.
My grandson is completely smitten with Caitlin- she was great- very down to earth and loved her voice. After her set I went and bought my merch( yes Sher 1 hoodie will be soon on its way to Canada. Jason sounded great- voice was a little lower- Stephen was great on the guitar as well as harmonizing with Jason.
After Jason's set about 3/4 of the audience went to stand in line to see Jason and buy merch but when Matt's set started most had returned to their seats. I would guess that there were 300 plus people there- venue golds 400 but I did not see many vacant seats- just was in the back and up in the back along the sides. There was not a bad seat in the house- everyone was respectful snd you could not hear much chatter during the sets.
Matt was great with the audience- it was his third time at this venue and he had some fans there. After the concert I stood in line to get my Jason pic and to give Jason my gift pk I got for his van and gave him one I got for Matt's van . Saw the Mrs. just as I was leaving- she was wearing that cute hat.
Did not get good pictures- my camera is not very good- Will try to post the one I got with Jason-

I had a great time, hopefully got a good picture of me and Jason. My friend had a good time, got to see some Dreahdeads from MI again. So nice to see them again, Carole, Linda Julie and Michelle.
Got to meet Mandy. She is now the sick one. Jason gave it to her. She looked like she did not feel to good. Jason said he is feeling better but his nose is not liking the cold weather. He is plugged up every morning. He did sound a little nasal when talking to him. Hopefully on the mend. He sounded great and Stephen was great too. I only took one video because I wanted to actually enjoy myself this time instead of worrying if I was shaking the camera. NOt very good pictures, flash was not allowed.
Anyway, when I get home this evening, I will get up my one video.
Have a great day.

I had a great time to. It was so nice to see everybody. I tried so hard to try to make it to Columbus, but i was just to tired. Ann Arbor was only one hour from my part time home in Ohio, so I decided that it would be easier on me to go there, and I am so happy I did. I meet up with my friend Vickie from Cleveland, she went to that show to and said that it was great. Un fortunantly I have never been a big fan of Cleveland though. Ate dinner at crantz which was a wonderful I talian restaurant. I had the best strawberry daquiri I have ever had. Meet up with Carole, Linda , Julie and Stacey. So good to see my extended family again. Jason sounds better everytime I see him.Went up to see Jason with Vickie and her sister in law. We had a really good time talking to him, he was not rushed at all, I got to talk to him for about ten minutes maybe a little longer. He was still wearing one of the bracelets that I gave him. He looked really thin, i didn't realize how thin he has gotten until he hugged me. I gave him the scarf that my youngest had made him for Christmas, but didn't get to give it to him while she was in Columbus.
I was really impressed with Caitlyn. What a beautiful person, and such a gentle spirit, she reminded me alot of Jason, the perfect match to be touring together. I got to talk to her for about 5 minutes. I told her that it was such a positive thing that she was doing for young girls.
Matt was really good to. He really had the crowds attention, and came back on for an extra song.
I purchased another one of Jason's ep's, and a cd from Matt and Caitlyn. I followed Vickie home and I got home about 12:00. I was so wired that I didn't fall asleep until about 1:00ish- had to get up at 5;00am. My butt was dragging all day. The physician that I work with just shook his head when I came in with coffee in my hand- He said i had my Jason look about me.
