I went up and introduced myself, shook his hand and told him I was a huge fan. I think I held onto his hand the whole time I chatted with him heehee =) I said to him: "It's so nice to meet you, my name is Bev, I'm a huge fan, you do awesome work, I hope you're having a good time in Vancouver." He was sooooooo nice and sweet =) We chatted for a bit, I honestly don't remember all the details it was sooooo surreal and I was soooooo lost in his deep blue-green eyes and soft Southern drawl and he just had such a nice, calming, serene presence around him. We talked about the show a bit, I kept saying: "You guys were sooooo awesome tonight!!!" He introduced me to his band member, at this point Dave was talking to them as well. Then I leaned in and asked in his ear: "Is it OK if I get a picture with you?"and he goes: "Yeah for sure."
But then these 3 girls came and started talking to him. So I waited patiently and started talking to this girl beside me whose friend was also talking to the other band members. The 3 girls kepy chatting with him, but once in a while he'd look my way, our eyes would meet and we'd share a smile, and I'd tell him with my eyes it's OK I'll wait til the girls leave before i get my picture.Finally they left, so I went up to him again and said: "Can I get that picture now?" And he said: "Yeah!" So I waved [my husband] over and he came with the camera. And he took the pic. I was soooo happy about the picture, Jackson was so sweet, he leaned in close and I think he put his hand on my back, our cheeks were almost touching and we took the perfect picture. I chatted with him for a little bit, about their band being based in LA, etc, etc... Then I knew it was time for goodbye. So I said: "Can I ask for a hug?" And he smiled and was like: "Yeah for sure!" And he gave me a nice big warm hug it was sooooo sweet =) I said into his ear: "Thank you sooooo much, enjoy the rest of your stay in Vancouver."
Thanks, Beverly!
I think it is so interesting that Beverly said this about Jackson: "[...] he just had such a nice, calming, serene presence around him."OMG he is Jasper!
