Omg where to start...First I will start by telling you guys what a nice street team experience me and Mickey had..First we didn't find out about the show until they started announcing it on the radio Friday morning , so right away I contacted our street team leaders, but it took a few days to get confirmation and the go ahead...so we didn't start hanging posters until Monday afternoon , but we had good luck with places in letting us hang up the posters..So then we contacted the mall events manager Chris Ford...awesome guy by the way..And he gave us permission and in fact gave us the flier that he said we could hand out to shopper..So off we go wends day with 250 fliers..optomistic..lol..lol...well we had some pretty good response at the mall. just not alot of people, the real action was across the parking lot at Walmart..so here we go to walmart, we asked a manager if we could stand outside and pass these fliers out and he said sure but also leave some for the door greeters to hand out as well..wooohooo jackpot..we got out all 250 that night ..Sooo day of the concert we head back out at 2.oo..loaded wit 100 more fliers back to the mall..We ended up having only a few left after the concert . so job well done right...around three or so people started to gather by the fountain and stage , they had an area roped off for the contest in front of the stage 30 or so chairs so we gathered by the fountain ...

..and their we met up with mbbluets. and jcmm . it was soo good to see old friends again..so anyway what started to be a few acoustic songs turned into a full band 5 songs..woooohoooo..I will say that the radio station blew it up when it came to promoting jason..and it worked..there was tons of people there it was a lovely day to be outside listening to jason..so the concert was a success and I think for sure we made Jason feel welcome...This really starts getting interesting after the concert..They were doing the meet and greet inside buckles, so I had my sister with me and she had not seen Jason since AI, so she wanted her pic taken , so we head over to buckles while Jason is doing his last song we were only ten people back..that is until they let the people that had won the radio contests in front of us, which was still cool, but when we got to be about ten people back the radio station security said NO MORE PICTURES..well my sister was crushed, but when we got a few more people up on of the dj's that I was familiar with said we could go ahead , that we would be the last two.. ...but mind you the line went sooo quick that before you knew it my sister was standing in front of Jason and I am not sure why but she handed him her CD and he asked her what her name was and I looked at her and realized that her lip was quivering and tears were rolling down her cheeks and she couldn't speak..I said her name is Denise , and Jason said ..Denise whats wrong it's OK, and he put his arm around her and I took a picture. . and he hugged her and she finally was able to squeak out ..Jason you are so sweet and he hugged her again..I was just standing there in shock.cause I knew she liked him a little but not enough to cry , I think she was star stuck..I thought it was preciouse..

Ok so we meet up with mickey again and my boss and mickeys friend and we decided to go ahead and have dinner before we drove home, now mind we had heard a rumor that Jason and his posse were going to be dining at Eddie Mer lot's, so knowing that we went across the way to O'charlies , we got in there and they said it would be a little while before they could seat us and that was fine we were having fun chatting and looking at each others pics, so then we noticed that they were seating people that had come in after us, and looked at the hostess and she came over and said that the Manager had decided that he wanted to put us in the back where we would be more comfortable, so I was thinking that maybe we were being to loud, so they take us way in the back , it was kind of a private little cove with a 4 top table a 5 seat booth for us and a 10 top table.wierd..but we ordered dinner, I had ribs they were wonderful , but we had just gotten salads when the events manager for the mall concert, came around the corner and started pointing at mickey and me saying theres my two little street teamers and that we had done a great job and what a wonderful turn out for Jason and thanked us, well thought that was cool. and then in walked the radio crew and right over to our table and we got to tell them about walmart and goofy us didn't know that the guy with them was Jason's drummer so we talked to him and got pictures, and of course Jason kind of strolled over by our table and mickey told him that it was a great concert, but guess who was in the bathroom when that happened..sooo great time had by all...now I gotta go pack for chasin Jason part two in cleveland...lol and part three chasin Jason in Columbus

Peachez, Mickey. It was good to see you again. I'm so happy for you that you had such a fun experience. It was a great crowd and I'm sure your street teaming had a lot to do with it. Jason made a lot of new fans and sold a lot of CDs. When I was in line at the merch table they ran out and Michael had to get more out of the van. I wanted to get a picture with Jason and my son and grandson - but the little guy was tired and the line for Jason was so long, I figured he was still signing and picture taking 2 hours later when I got home!! I hope he comes back!!
