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
