One of our veteran readers at NewMoonMovie.org and EclipseMovie.org, Shurlock, attended the in-store concert that Eclipse vampire Jackson Ratbone (aka Jasper Hale) along with his band 100 Monkeys performed.
Here is her account of what she experienced that night -
The event was a Cactus Records in Houston and they were really good. Loved the music in person and they were ALL very good looking and had great, funny personalities. My fav other than J.Action was one of the Ben’s the one with the bandana around his head, what a crazy guy!
They weren’t allowed to sign any Twi items, but I showed him the page you (LMCullen) did of him and his sister (on EM.org).
The picture of Jackson smiling and looking down, that was when he was looking and signing the photo, he liked the post with the picture of him and his sister. Seriously!! He showed the picture to Ben with the Bandana and told him you were the one that wrote the post with him and his sister. Ben said Nice! Ben kidded him about that, how young he was. I had a sign for him to hold saying hi to all the NMM.org and EM.org but it wasn’t allowed, sorry.
Such a nice guy and really down to earth, the whole band were just great, a warm group of friends just like the rest of us and out besties.
They sang 4 songs at this appearance, the concert started later that night. This was a semi accoustic set which I love and they sounded great. Then Jackson introduced Clippity Clop the first song on Grape their CD. Then Ben with a mustache/beard did the Monkee Song which is a song written by Spencer Bell who died.
Jackson was behind him had some great smiles! Then Jackson sang Junkie from the CD. They had beer from a local brewery there, St. Arnolds, and after singing they set up for the signing, Jackson drank one as they were setting up, I think the others still had a glass on the table, maybe their second. Ben seemed the friendliest and most curious about the fans always looking out and around making eye contact saying hi etc. Jared’s hair is cut into a short mohawk now. Mustacheod Ben has beautiful blue eyes. Like I said they are all easy to look at and talk too, very friendly and down to earth.
Oh.My.Box.Sex.With.Pictures (sorry, you’ll only get that joke if you seen my ‘error’ on a post over at NMM.org) ANYWAY – I’m just floored that a reader/friend from NMM.org and EM.org would do something so nice, and thoughtful for me. Just amazed, and truly grateful.
Check out the picture of Jackson signing MY autograph after the break, along with a photo of what the autograph looks like, more pics from the show, and some videos!!
Jackson looking at the post I did of him on EM.org and at the picture of me that Shurlock showed him! lmao
There were no pictures provided that this event. So if you didn’t have your own, you were SOL. Fortunately Shurlock had printed off a picture of me (LOL) and that is what she had Jackson sign!! SEEE he LOVES me!! LOL
I just want to take the time again to thank Shurlock for what she did. I’m a stay-at-home mom, who lives far away from all things Twilight and events like this. This is an opportunity that I would probably never get to have. BUT because of Shurlock and her kindness, I feel a part of it. And I’m very thankful, I really am. Sorry if I keep on going on about this, but to me, its the closest I’ll ever get, and I’m happy about it!

Very excited for you LMC! It's awesome to see you have really good friends on here! You rock Shurlock. Can't wait to see the pic!
Oh Jackson is too damn cute!
And that was such a nice thing to do! Way to go Shurlock (and LMC!)
That was seriously so sweet tht you did tht for LMC!
If tht was me you would have made my life!
Jackson seriously seems like one of the sweetest guys ever! And tht smile! -shivers-
soooo delicious!
:-/ … one Monkey wasn't spoke about.. UNCLE LARRY!!! He is an offical monkey! And an amazing man at that who should never not be spoken about! Jerad's name is mis-spelled up there btw (Jerad Anderson is his full name)…. and the ben's names are Ben Graupner and Ben Johnson. Johnson has the facial hair and Graupner is the tall lanky one.
The Monkey song was originally not only written but performed by Spencer Bell also. The boys also perform a few other songs that Spencer did in their shows sometimes (Violin, 20 to 1, Beauiful More So, are the ones normally done besides the Monkey song)
I'm gonna see him tomorrow at the 100 monkey show!! i'm exciteddd!
That is soooooo AWESOME….I can feel the excitement in every line of the post
WOW….AWESOME!!!!!!
I would also love to read some of the FFs I keep hearing about, but I'm not on FB or Twitter (I'm lucky I find time to post here) – are they on the web anywhere? I need a good fix.
you were here and I missed you?!!!!
i was at the concert in Houston and the entire band walked right past me to get on the stage…i was in awe of how normal they all are and how at ease they were walking thru all us girls…JR seemed to be a little taller than me (5'8″) and he is so incredibly more beautiful in person than on screen…he is so animated with his face and is a great musician…i had a blast seeing them and hope they keep making music :> i don't have my pics downloaded yet or i would be able to post them to this site :<
H2B actually emailed me a link to her stories. I'm sure she'd do the same for you (if you're over 18, that is!)
I don't exactly know all the rules about discussing FF on here, but I'm gonna take a risk…
Have you read Dark Side of the Moon? That story took my breath away and it's worth recommending even if I get modded. It's basically New Moon from Edward's perspective. Amazingly written.
I will definitely have to look that one up – it sounds awesome!
Thanks for the tip!
I would love to read it as well – can you send a link pls? I'm of a legal age.
oh I'm sorry I misunderstood it's like leah learn to read:/
lmao!! Trust me .. I wish you were right!! I would LOVE to meet him!!
Lol PB you really did change your SN love it!!!! ~ thats what i get for going MIA yesterday i missed it!!!!
Who else changed theirs???
OMJ!!! Shurlock you are awesome. That's the reason i love this site we're like one big (mostly) happy family lol
LMC i can feel your excitement radiating off the post LOVE IT!!!!
Um… CF… TLG… CARA… CC is working on hers I think. LoL I still love that your the evil leaked script and Im the evil play button. LMAO!
Whoa.. I see my name. What are you guys talking about?
I have pictures of Uncle Larry also, and talked to him after the show, he is really a nice guy also and funny. The main focus of this post was for LMC and Jackson. Sorry about misspelling Jerad's name, my nephew is Jared and I am so used to spelling it that way. I know they call him J. Rad. The story about Spencer is a very sad one, everyone should go to 100MonkeysMusic.com and read about him.
haha, who changed their display name. =P Were your ears ringing???
Plus Uncle Larry is more my age, LOL
Uncle might be more your age but he is still an offical monkey… Sorry. I'm a little over protective when it comes to the monkeys and mostly Uncle.. the man is my Gooroo!!
Actually better off learning more about Spencer from the Legacy site! http://www.spencerbellmemorial.com/ Spencer music,artwork and so on are all posted up on the site. His father runs the site along with many of Spencers friends and speaks with the fans on it.
My ears ringing??…. wait, what? lol… OME I cant wait to get out of work in 55 minutes.
My hubby is taking me out tonight for some “alone time” away from the computer haha, I'll be back later… did you get my text???
*tackles you in bear hug*
My kinky monster!!
Yea I just.. “peeked in” for a bit!!
I miss you =(
I hope you're doing great my love!!
*squeezes*
will you be back soon???? I miss you muchly!! *giant bear hugs followed by some wondering hands….* you feel gooooooood! LMAO
*wipes tears away*
LOL
Oh jeebus… you always succeed in making me laugh!! You and those darn wandering hands… feel good, eh!? LOL
*facepalm*
Sorry I missed your reply last night, I was so happy to be able to that for her, I mean why not. Glad you two live close and can share this crazy addiction to all things Twilight we all share from so many different areas of the globe! Thanks!
hahahaha I knew I would make you feel good!!
))
H2B just read your little FF and had to come tell you how much I liked it!
Well, off to bed, sweet dreams H2B! *wink* LOL
OMJ!! Jackson, my darling hot Jackson <3. Oh God so hot, so gorgeous <3. He looks so hot playing a guitar, or singing. OMJ I'm going to learn guitar soon! =D
I actually put a post up ABOUT the Spencer Bell benefit last week, with a link to that site .. etc…
Shurlock is correct – this post was not about the 100 Monkeys. This is not a 100 Monkeys fansite. It is about Eclipse and the Twilight Saga. Jackson is IN those movies, so the main focus is on him, sorry.
Please do not come on this post and ruin the tone of it. What Shurlock did for me means so much, and I don't need bullying going on in here.
I know you must be the official designated 100 Monkeys police. But please, save it for one of their fan sites..
Thanks.
*squeezes*
You ALWAYS do my kinky monster!!!
<3 u
CeCi I never see you on fb!
=(
What's your name on there!?!?
On facebook? Monica
Dood do I have you on there?!? I dont think I do…
*scratches head in confusion*
Oh! That's perfect! hehe
