Founder of Keeping Lions to Perform a Free Concert

Can we still call it "date night" ?


"cream cheese brownies" Thanks for clearing that up.

Jason read the Nicholas Sparks' book, "The Guardian"!! My favorite author and a really great book. No worries, Jason. Sparks always makes me cry. =)

I didn't think it was possible, but I just fell in love with him a little bit more....

**Swoon**

Jason Castro will miss the other Idols now that the tour's over, but he won't miss the schedule.

"I'm kind of tired of them telling me what to do all the time," he confessed (he's refreshingly honest).

He read lots of books on tour, most of which were given to him by fans. His latest read? "The Guardian," by notorious tear-jerking romantic Nicholas Sparks.

"I teared up a little," he admitted.

Sounds like we may have some exciting news in store when he returns. **Fingers crossed**

"Idol" Loser Lives, Eats ... Doesn't Sing

Whatshisname with the dreads from "American Idol" was spotted eating
a burrito on Tuesday. He put up a good fight with the first half of the burrito,
but grew tired of it and just stopped caring when he got towards the end.

Can't a guy eat his Chipotle in peace?
...but thanks for the new pic!! LOL

No so much Jason news, but note worthy...

David Archuleta blogged about the end of tour:

"It's also been so cool to see all the fans at different cities! And I'll miss seeing all the different shirts and signs for everyone haha. Especially the crazy stuff that the Dreadheads come up with. Oh my gosh they make some of the funniest, most unique things lol."

Jason, you've made us laugh. You've made us cry. And you have made us miserable. We are sad that we'll no longer know where you are or what's going on from one day to the next, but we're happy that you're now free to pursue your dream. Keep dreaming big! We're behind you every step of the way.

Congratulations on your achievements up to this point and best wishes for continued success. You deserve this!

from an article on Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN StarTribune.com:

A half-dozen cool things in music...

Jason Castro, Target Center.
His covering Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" at the "American Idols Live"
concert was hip, modern, unexpected and so un-"Idol." It's
no wonder they didn't get him on that show.

from an article from Evansville, IN Courier Press:

Jason Castro had an apparent following among the young ladies in the audience who screamed excitedly. With his trademark laidback style, Castro sang well, especially on "Daydream."

This is a difficult time, time of uncertainty and some sadness. We have grown accustomed to our daily dose of the man we adore and know that our encounters may be fewer and farther between. As the tour winds down, we all have been looking for some good news. Today, I received some. Here is the flyer for a benefit at which Jason will be performing. I know I speak for all his Goth Girls when I say we couldn't be prouder of you, Jason.

from an article from Ft. Wayne, IN News-Sentinel:

A very laid-back Jason Castro said the tour has been “awesome.”

Castro, who was humming between interview questions, said opening night was his highlight of the tour. “I wasn’t satisfied with my performance, but there were people outside to see us.”

When asked if he acknowledged the crowd outside today at Memorial Coliseum, he said he ran into a tree because he was waving to the fans. He was no worse for wear, with only a few branches in his dread-locked hair.

Castro was looking forward to the end of the tour to “do what I want — less complicating.” He is headed to Los Angeles to cut a demo record. He hopes an album will be out by Christmas.

view actual interview (with better quality video) here: busradio.com.

Not sure yet where this was recorded. If anyone knows, post it in comments.

You have GOT to watch this. Preteen Archie fan reaction to David A losing American Idol. It is funnier than shit. Partly because this was me when Jason was kicked off...minus all of the rage-aholic screaming...and prepubescent-ness. Also, because one of the girls refers to David Cook as "that loser who doesn't shave." LOL. See Jason. Guys with beards are losers.

So anyway, now I know how ridiculous I looked. Thank God I didn't video and post it on You Tube. I do have my limits.

No date night tonight. Our boyfriend stood us up for a party. Men!

There are only 3 shows left on the American Idols Live Tour 2008.

September 10 - Ft. Wayne, IN
September 11 - Evansville, IN
September 13 - Tulsa, OK

It appears Jason is using "lack of sleep" as the excuse for the fashion nightmare that was his athletic shorts and boat shoes in Louisiana.

Stephanie Netherton of shreveporttimes.com writes:

Jason Castro has been awake about five minutes before he enters the meet and greet area wearing mix-matched athletic shorts and a gray T-shirt. His signature dreads are frizzy and frayed from his short nap, but on the "American Idols Live!" tour, you have to sleep when you can.

"I'm not usually this bad, but we just left Texas and I had a lot of friends and family to see so I didn't get much sleep," Castro said in his typical laid-back tone.

Castro seems unprepared for the busy day ahead, but that's been his story from the beginning of his "Idol" journey. Before his audition, he'd only performed five times in churches and bars.

"It was an opportunity to get out of school," Castro said. "I took what I learned from performing in a band and transferred my music beliefs to singing.
