Can't wait to see the show LIVE and UP CLOSE and in a venue with excellent acoustics!! Thanks! I hope you get pics as well, would love to see them! Whoop for you and Portland. I am feeling so sad cuz i wish I could go to the flytrap in march but I don't think I can pull it off. But yesterday was a dream, loved the whole day. |

ahhh Pamer, We thought about all our fellow Dreadheads that weren't with us last night! I was soooo worried about Jason and the gang getting to Kansas City from Mpls. I lived in Mpls and traveled that route home to KC all the time. I KNOW how BAD the roads can get. If you don't get out in time your STUCK!!  I'm sure you saw all the Twitters I put out there, along with ekajo's and Dan's about heading out!  Thank goodness they started out and made it to Des Moines that evening for the Superbowl. They finished up their drive at KC that night at 11:30pm The next day Jason and Stephen did a radio show with Kelly Urich at 99.7 Kiss FM. Needless to say it was a CRAZY interview. Here are some of the DJ's twitters prior to and after the interview: BY @kellyurich Dreadlock stud Jason Castro will be in studio today plus you can text BUBLE to 23909 for front row Michael Buble' tickets. Details on 99.7 yesterday reply OMG...I told Jason Castro he would make a cute girl and he thought I was hitting on him. AWKWARD MOMENT.....I'm a moron. yesterday reply @jasoncastrosorry for the awkwardness Jason! Loved your song. You're welcome here at KISS anytime! I'm not gay. yesterday reply BTW, Jason Castro is performing at the Bottleneck in Lawrence tonight. Check him out. He really is cute, er, uh....talented. yesterday reply Today I'll replay my highly controversial interview with Jason Castro plus talk with the only KC contestant to make it to Hollywood! 99.7 6 hours ago ( I will tell you more about this Replay and my on air comments later) Here are Jason's Twitter's that I;m sure you have read but I added a little more to them....hehe! Going to visit 99.7 kiss fm in Kansas City! Tune in to the Kelly Urich show! I just drove down the most beautiful street in Kansas city. Almost makes me want to move here. Almost... Haha 2:03 PM Feb 8th from txt * The street Jason was driven down was Ward Parkway. It is lined with beautiful trees, fountains and lovely old mansions. This street takes you down to the Country Club Plaza, a historic 1920's outdoor shopping area that Kansas City is known for.  i just had an awesome, awkward interview with @kellyulrich ... i love awkwardness! haha @kellyulrich it wasnt awkward until i realized that a dude just said that... usually girls say that.. haha and then our eyes met... I hope some of you were able to listen to the live chat with Kelly...it was hilarious!! The station and Kelly were getting soooo many calls about the interview and the....INTERESTING.....dialogue with Jason they had to replay it tonight on his show. Kelly was adding commentary to the interview. I'm trying to see if they will download it to Kelly's blog! They had callers on air and Kelly's wife on about the comments Kelly made about Jason. I called in and told Kelly that Jason had told us about his VERY AWKWARD interview at his concert last night. Kelly said "OH NO, He talked about it ON STAGE?" "I almost went to his concert, I bet he would have had me up on stage" I told him "yes he probably would have, and that we heard all about the interview and decided we had a very INTERESTING DJ here in KC as we looked at Jason's very lovely wife! I told him how GREAT the concert was and he told the audience to go buy Jason's EP. I mentioned I ALREADY HAD IT and it was great and hoped they would START Playing his song on the air!! NOW they want Kelly to put on a dreadhead wig and see who is the best looking out of the two.....duh we know who will win that one. They kept up the Jason chatter ALL through the rush hour show today. It will be interesting to see if it continues tomorrow night......listen in at 99.7 FM Kansas City, 2-7 at 997kiss.com/kelly-urich-2009/I will have to get to the Lawrence experience tomorrow cus my son needs on to do homework so I will finish this up later. Sorry it's soooo long but I don't want to forget any thing! |

OK, back to our Lawrence experience! As Nikki said we got to downtown and dropped off my car in the covered 2 hour parking and we ran around in Nikki's car. We found The Bottleneck and headed out to find a hotel and somewhere to eat. As we pulled up in front of the venue there was a big White van....right in front of us. We thought... Whew... they made it and were probably in doing sound checks or something. We decided to stay right on that block to eat so we would be close. We checked out several places and decided on Mirth...... themirthcafe.com/about/ Take a look at the site! You can imagine our SURPRISE when we walked in and over at a table against the wall were JASON, MANDY and STEPHEN. They had their internet all hooked up and were checking their Twitter and other internet things. Our table was the big one right in the center of the picture above. All I can say is BLUEBERRY PANCAKES NEVER LOOKED SOOO GOOD!!   \ Jason and Stephen were busy eating and Mandy was on the internet playing music. It was SOOO cute! The song playing was "I Need You Now" by Lady Antebellum. Here it is.... HEY DOES THAT CHAIR LOOK FAMILIAR...DECEMBER in Jason's calender?? You have to listen to it to get the full effect!!  Visualize this Jason was singing, swaying and tapping his boots along with the song like drums. Mandy was singing along too! SOOOO Cute (and NOW it's one of my FAVORITE none Jason songs) They looked like a very LOVING married couple!!  WE got to listen along with their choice of songs for the next hour and it was really fun. Heard a little Taylor Swift...RIGHT STEPHEN!! Can't say but that name might fit a certain twitter from Jason!! We all had the Black Forest Ham and Brie Cheese Panini w/French onion Soup  After they were all done eating Jason's group said hi to us....You couldn't miss Nikki and Kathy in their CASTRO t-shirts!! Jason Loved it!! We happened to have our gifts with us soo we decided to go ahead and give them their gifts NOW instead of at the concert. This way they could put them in the van. Nikki already told you about her gift card. I gave Mandy a felt hat...I saw from her earlier pictures she was a HAT LOVER like me, sooo I couldn't resist! To the guys I gave Razia's Shadow the Musical W/ lyrics so they could listen to it in the van when they got bored! Jason said that he liked a lot of the singers on the CD and looked forward to listening to it!! Check it out for yourself...my son gave it to me for Christmas!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razia%27s_ShadowWe all got hugs and told them we couldn't wait for the show later.....MANDY IS A SWEETHEART!elebenty-one  They left to go practice a cover song they were working on and we were on cloud nine!!!  I will get to the venue later because it's almost time for Idol......sorry this is turning into a book  |

Just wanted to let ya know that Kelly Urich is STILL going on and on about Jason on his radio show at 99.7 Kiss FM, Kansas City. Tonight Kelly and Ryan Seacrest were talking and Kelly said he was a little sad cus he didn't have any new Tweets from Jason!  Here are some pictures of the radio show!!  Jason Castro from American Idol season 7 was a nice guy, even if we had an awkward interview...  Jason, Stephen, Matt Gapske and me.  Jason sings "Let's Just Fall in Love Again" moments before I told him he would make a cute girl. It got really weird after that. This last one is were Kelly was whistling and staring into Jason's eyes.....hehehe!!   Beth, David Cooks Mom also twittered Kelly saying " I wish I had known earlier that Jason was performing at the Bottleneck last night." Aww she wanted to go but didn't know about it!! OMG.....Kelly Urich's latest Twitter!!! "Watching women's figure skating. Don't tell Jason Castro... about 4 hours ago from txt It goes on and on and on.......... |

Back to Lawrence....We got to the venue and the Bartender was gracious enough to let us all in early so we didn't have to stand out in the cold. They had a group of booths as you came in the door that had a little banister around them. Our Bartender told us this was the Playpen area and We could stay there for all the sound checks if we were quiet!!
Needless to say we were VERY GOOD and got to hear Matt and Jason's sound checks.
There were about twenty girls there that we have seen at various concerts around the country. It was good to touch base with a lot of good Jason fans!
We got to talk to Caitlin in the bathroom while she was getting ready....what a lovely girl! She was also taking pictures of people with their signs for her Flawz video.
She sang her little heart out and joked around with the crowd during her set. We didn't have a HUGE crowd so you could get right up in front of the stage to listen to the performers.
I was standing with Mandy during Caitlin's set, you can really tell they are all becoming close friends.
Jason was up next and was GREAT!! Heathers little girl was able to be RIGHT in front of Jason. She was soooo cute! I have pictures of her staring up at Jason just in awe. I'll see if I can post them.
Jason started off by telling us about his AWKWARD radio interview with Kelly Urich that afternoon. He thought the whole thing was really funny.
What can you say about Jason's performance that hasn't already been said.....HE WAS WONDERFUL!!
Check out grfgrl4evers videos!
Earthtoandrew was at the merch booth...he is a hilarious guy. We got to talk to him a while and found out that they would be driving for about 3 or 4 hours after the show. Such LONG days these kids are putting in...NO WONDER they get sick!!
Jason came back and stood in front of the merch table and took pictures with EVERYONE!! We were able to have all our CD's and Calenders signed too! Really liked the new hoodie that was for sale, very cool.
Jason Stopped during Matt's set so everyone could listen to MATT. We had a pretty good crowd up front for Matt too!
After his set Matt came back to the table and took pics and signed stuff too! He was a very sweet guy to talk to.
We all had a wonderful time and we told them we wished it could have been a BIGGER crowd.....I think they thought it was kind of nice to have a small intimate show after coming off of the BIG ones in MPLS and Madison. They were all VERY relaxed and at ease the whole night. You can tell they are having a blast on this tour.
I hope the rest of their tour goes great.
