You bet I did!!! Man, I'm just now getting online and through all of my email.

I got there early, about 3:30 pm, and my friend and I went right up to the stage and got dead center on the barrier. There wasn't a whole lot of people there yet, but mostly people were on the side of the stage near an "RV/camper" they had rigged up for Jon to stay in during his off time. I guess the Texas heat was too much for him. LOL

Jon came out around 4:30 and started on the side of the stage and proceeded along the front row between the stage and the barrier signing autographs and talking to people and shaking hands. He is slowly making his way down to the center where I am, and he signed my picture. I then put my hand on his arm and just said THANK YOU JON. A girl behind me asked to shake his hand and he did, so I asked too, but he had already moved on to my friend next to me. : )

He went up on stage and talked to us for a bit, with Kid Kraddick one of the DJs here in Dallas. About the gig contest, etc.

In between everything, and all the bands, they played the HAND CD, realllllly loud. Then, Jon came back on stage and named every one of the bands that were going to perform, as a main introduction.

Then we walked around, got drinks, got free stuff too. I got a Have A Nice Gig hat with the Saturn logo and the Smirkey on the back, a Have A Nice Gig t-shirt and poster, and the blinkey smirkey necklaces too. We listened to about three of bands but then decided to go eat. We walked back by, but it was already over, and we asked a police officer who had won and I think the name of the band is "Ashmore"? Not positive. They will be opening up in Montreal.

I had such a blast! It was definitely a turn of events for the end of my week since I had no idea he'd even be here until Wed. What a memorable experience!
