Vlogs
The Season 9 Idol Tour recently kicked off and if you follow any idols on Twitter, you can keep up with their schedule and find out when they're heading to the venue, what they're doing between shows and, if you follow Tim Urban, get told "I love you" every night. ("You" meaning "y'all" which means "me".)
But think back to the dawn of time, when MySpace roamed the earth and such things as Twitter were only known to alien races and their abductees. Back in those days, while walking to school up hill both ways in the snow, we had to find out about our Idol through dodgy recaps from fellow concert attendees and bus stalkers. In the dark ages, to get any info direct from our Idols we were relegated to the mind-numbing HORRORs of MyFox.com type interviews in which we would learn every nuance of our Idol's perspective on his eventual demise on American Idol... or victory, depending on who you're a fan of. But otherwise, it was a virtual blackout.
It took a Season 7 Renaissance man to recognize the alchemistry of YouTube and spin gold (ugh, sorry for the extended metaphor). It started as a short video in the backseat of a car as Betsy displayed a newspaper ad from some of his fans. From there, Jason (or more likely Jackie) discovered that people wanted to know what Jason was up to, and more precisely, that people just wanted more Jason, period. Jackie - you will be a great entrepreneur one day.
On June 22, 2008, the Jason Castro V-Log was born and this was his first real installment, in which he would coin the phrase that would become the permanent name of these v-logs: Date Night.
Look how awkward he used to be... Oh how things change.
On June 24, 2008, he followed through with his first Date Night video, all cleaned up and probably smelling of cologne.
We had more behind the scenes access throughout the summer, including on the bus with Carly on July 15, 2008:
And a few that were more intimate, such as on August 5, 2008:
And who could forget him swinging at Dave Lichen's on March 24, 2009:
There have been a number of V-Logs, too many to post here. But you can watch all of his uploads on his YouTube channel. I should explain that the V-Logs are NOT the same thing as the Webisodes at JCM. So if you're trying to get it all, make sure you check out both places.
Thanks to Jason for always thinking of his fans first and communicating with us long before everyone else was doing it. You're ever the trend setter! And just because you tweet now doesn't mean we aren't jonesing for a new video. Date nights are ALWAYS welcome! (Hook us up, Jackie!)
Do YOU have a favorite Date Night or V-Log? Be sure to stop into the forum and let us know.

Unique and Undeniable
Every Jason fan has this expression etched in the deepest recesses of his or.... okay HER collective memory. Jason originated it and it has settled on him like a mantle.
The longer quote was actually recorded thus:
Subsequent quotes add the "unique". No matter how it came to be known, it is an expression that has come to define Jason as aptly as anything else.
And, if I can be a little sentimental with you, "unique and undeniable" defines the people I've met in the years I've been hanging around in this community as well. I may have come here for Jason, but I stayed for the Copians. You all rock my world big and small. You are just a bunch of beautiful, wonderful, big hearted, lovely people and I love ya.
So I decided that for once, I'd shut up and let YOU write this blog and share why Jason is so unique and undeniable in your own words. And yes, you all *did* post these somewhere on the forum at some time. (Man are my eyes sore from the research! But so worth it!) If you aren't represented here, there was no slight intended - I'd love for this blog to keep growing, so please DO send me any quotes you'd like attributed to you (lizlemon@castrocopia.com). Or if you think I've horribly misrepresented you with the quote I chose for you, let me know and we'll just keep editing this until it's a true composite of our perspective on one Mr. Castro. (Lurkers or non-Copians - feel free to contribute! Just let me know how you want your name to appear when you email me.)
Thanks to all of U, heh.
After the jump, y'all....

The longer quote was actually recorded thus:
There's this quote from my first manager when I was playing drums in a band. We were rehearsing one time and getting ready for a showcase when he said this line that stuck out to me: "You've got to be undeniable." That just stuck with me. No matter what you do, it's not just about being the best, but being undeniable. That's good advice right there!"
Subsequent quotes add the "unique". No matter how it came to be known, it is an expression that has come to define Jason as aptly as anything else.

That's What I'm Here For
It's a statement, it's a web tv show AND it's Jason's second single off his debut album. And that's a hat trick worth talking about.
If you missed the webisode, you can catch them all here. And if you missed the single, well you're a pretty craptastic fan, haha. But you can still get it at ITunes or wherever else you prefer to buy your digital music. And if you think that the internet is over, you can even get the CD from Target or .... do they still have record stores? You may even hear it wafting over the loud speakers while you're shopping. And if you already have it and love it, why not tell a friend about it?
And then there's the statement. It's very simple really. That's What I'm Here For... There isn't a GRE word in the whole title. The song itself isn't complicated. It's a promise of companionship gently offered to the one who captured his heart... or to you if you care to daydream a bit. But even though the message is personal when read as a love song, it also just so happens to lay down the foundation for what we can expect from Jason, musically and in a sense spiritually, from here out.
What is he here for after all? He started his fledgling career on the most watched television show of our generation, played this single for another reality show wedding and will appear again on a soap opera very soon (Bold and the Beautiful, check your local listings) singing something, probably this very song. He's written songs, traveled the country, the Philippines and Norway, opened and headlined, gotten married, recorded a debut album, released 2 singles, sold merch, blogged, twittered, started a band and stayed in touch with his family... And through it all, he's been remarkably attentive to his fans (though of course, we always want more, more, more). With all that complication going on in his life, he must have to remind himself once in a while why he does any of it. And I think we could use the reminder occasionally too... especially when we want a little more. (Does he need a little less?)
I know what I'm here for - and I sincerely believe it's what Jason's here for too. It's all about the music, baby.
Oh yeah and if you missed the rest of the Pointlessly Alphabetical Guide that we are barely keeping up with ourselves, never fear, it's here!

Street Team
That's right we're legit dog. Recognize:
So what in the hell is a street team? And how on earth do we help Jason?
Those are good questions, fictional questionner. A street team is an organization of fans who want to promote an artist efficiently and help ensure that he or she succeeds at specific targeted goals. We help Jason by exposing as many
new fans to his music by getting them to events, to his website or to ITunes, and by getting his music PLAYED. Our major goal is to attract NEW fans and thereby grow the fanbase. This in turn helps YOU by giving Jason the ability to create more music and perform at more concerts in the future.
<<< Yes that vaguely resembles Ashton Kutcher, Patron Saint of Self-Promotion. It's merely coincidence; this picture is meant for illustrative purposes only. JCM street teamers are NOT required to follow Ashton on Twitter. Erase that worry from your minds.
Recently, the street team rocked out Jason's mall tour, postering the surrounding areas and fliering the mall to attract shoppers to the main stage. And they collected email addresses for Atlantic to continue to reach interested fans. Teamers also shout from the rooftops whenever Jason has a new webisodes, available music and upcoming appearances - always working with Atlantic to carry out their vision. Your area street team leaders will have access to marketing materials to help you get out and promote Jason's music or upcoming events at local venues, radio stations or JCM. Contact us.
As fans, we're all pushing artists we love anyway. So what if our co-workers snerk at our calendars or if we've lost conjugal rights yet again for blasting youtubes of the last bootlegged gig through the house at 11:30 pm? Our kids still love us, right? Your enthusiasm is what powers the street team. The organization of the team can help you direct it *away* from your sister and her stupid eyerolling and *towards* potential new fans who won't use words like "over-invested" or "need a life". (Disclaimer: she'll still probably say that about you though. We're not miracle workers.)
Remember: the street team strives to organize efforts in a way that conforms with a vision created by Jason and his team. Whether or not you plan to join the street team, it's not a bad idea to become acquainted with the Atlantic approved guidelines for promoting the single. And though we don't have tips on how to make your cubemate stop calling you Mrs. Castro every time he sees you, you might pick up some creative ideas and maybe even learn a tip or two on how not to piss off or frighten the very people you want to engage.
If you're interested in joining the Jason Castro street team, the first step is to fill out a brief questionnaire at jcsthq.com. An email will be sent to your regional leader and someone will contact you and get you involved. There are open positions for some state lead positions as well. Applications are always welcome.
Hats off to our regional leaders who spend many hours planning and organizing so that we get the right people into the right places at the right time. It's a thankless job, so thanks 4EverInBlueJeanBaby, Aggie02, Ashokie, Cookie, Dan, Lovebugger and Singin72. Next time you see one of them, give them a high five and tell them that they rock.
And without our state leaders, the street team would not function. Thank you for all you do executing the many tasks that you have to juggle.
And to all of you who work the shows, promote Jason online, request his single at your local station or just continue to wear your sister down until she has no choice but to give in...I know Jason appreciates the hard work and I for one am very proud of the level of professionalism and dedication you all have shown throughout the year. Thank you all!
Whether you join the team or not, you can always be helping through radio requests or just sharing Jason's music with friends who might be interested. If everyone does a little, it will add up to a whole lot.

Right Fucking On
The Right Fucking On award was instituted quite early on in our history. The first recipient, appropriately, was our favorite Michael Slezak for his dead on balls accurate analysis of Jason's performance of "If I Fell" in which he wrote:
Soon, Michael would receive another RFO award for his rant over Paula-gate. He even let us know he was clearing a place on his virtual mantle to house them - and I think that too deserves an RFO.
So what's the qualification for winning the RFO award? Noticeable awesomeness is necessary but not sufficient. There is a certain je ne sais quoi that tips a writer from kick ass to "Right Fucking On". McLovin might call this "bamfitude".
On May 8, we finally gave the award to Jason. It was long overdue in coming, but when he took control of his own elimination, transforming it into an exclamation of joy, well - definitely Right Fucking On!
Other recipients have included Dawn Redding at Neighborsgo, MTV's John Norris (he of the "Jason Is My Idol" t-shirt), Jim Cantiello (of course) and several bloggers who said things that we agreed with so strongly that "ITA" was far from strong enough. Only an RFO would do.
There is also athread on the forum where RFO's can be 
handed out like candy. Not surprisingly, McLovin has received so many, she'd be embarrassed to even post a link to the thread. Other posters honored include DreadNation for her amazing contribution to the CUSP project, Ms.Scarlett for securing the Michael Orland chat, Aspiring and DM for all they have done to bring media to Copia.
There will no doubt be plenty of RFO's to hand out in the future and I'd like to distribute a few RFO's that we've neglected.
Dave Lichens and The Heavy Steadies - Right Fucking On dudes. You were there for Jason from as early on as legally possible. You've literally stood behind him as he started his career and have lent him your strength and wisdom. You were generous with your time and kindness in Garland, hanging out with us crazy Castrocopians and generally oozing bamfitude. We're sorry that your professional relationship will be ending and hope that the future will bring you all back together again. Dave, Kevin and Adam... You guys are the shiznett.
Atlantic Records - Right Fucking On to Dan and Vicky. And an RFO to the entire organization. You are not blinded by whatever filth covers the eyes of Simon and Randy, but recognize that talent and artistry are worth more than just lip service. You all are not just a vehicle to ship units based on some market demographics that you can jam a product into. You know that the artist generates the art and you are excited about that and it shows. RFO for the obvious investment you've made in Jason's future without stifling him or turning him into something he's not. Thank you!
Bootleggers and bloggers - RFO for capturing video from the shows that Jason has performed at. Please continue to do so. We appreciate it so so much.
I look forward to future RFO's!

05 August, 2009 Posted by: Liz Lemon
Questions/Answers
In case you missed it, this summer just after Jason was signed with Atlantic Records, we were given a gift of an interactive webcast. Jason sollicited questions via twitter, but also took some questions from the chatroom as well. It was a lot of fun for all of us who have been around the block enough to recognize most of the screen names of people he chose to answer, but mostly it was a really nice, open conversation that everyone enjoyed. I hope Atlantic does this again in the future.
You can still watch this event here:
And that was going to be my Q for this edition. But mar30mar suggested correctly in the forum that Jason Quotes would be seriously fertile ground..... So I give you Q2, after the jump (click Read More or you'll miss the awesome, like when McLovin did the second LL and nobody read it and she cried. OK not really, but just click the link.)

Funny that the link in the post below should be featured today because it's way past time for our next installment in The Pointlessly Alphabetical Guide for the New Jason Fan:
Pants
Our goal has never been to objectify Jason - music first, baby. But you'd have to be blind to not notice the pants -- or only looking at head shots. And we're not blind. Therefore we -- and most likely you -- have taken note of The Pants. Even professional stylists have taken note.
For a brief chronicle of The Pants as applies to Castrocopia, I've poached Lemon's response to a question in our forum from sometime last year:
For those of you who think it's odd that a bunch of old ladies would be oogling the jeans of a man Jason's age, I say:
a) We're not all old
b) but so what if we were, fuckhead?
PS. We're still #1 for Jason Castro Pants. Google it.

Pants history:
It started here when McLovin and I were the only ones reading the blog (now I think we have another reader - occasionally). We weren't even on google then so it was a bit of a joke.
So we put the word Pants in all our blog pieces for a while.
Then this happened.
I think Slezak mentioned us as the site about pants, and people started googling Jason Castro Pants, and from there? Global insanity.

Short on time? Just say "Neener."
Instead of: "Yes, it turns out that I was right about Jason -- even though you couldn't hear what *I* heard because your weak ear requires being assaulted by volumes set to eleven, and/or instead of having your own opinion you are easily swayed by AI tricksiness in all its choreographed (Nigel), sloppily executed (Paula), ostensibly authoritative (Simon), and moronic (Randy) manifestations. But then Idol was over. And Jason got hella rave reviews throughout the tour and was the first non-Country Idol contestant to get signed to a major label that isn't affiliated with 19E 'cause Atlantic knows what's up, even if you don't." Instead of saying all that -- just say "neener."
synonyms:
Nanny nanny boo boo
Suck on THAT!
So, Randy -- produced anything noteworthy lately? No? That's what I thought.
Other Artists
Whether he's mentioned that he's listening to, inspired by, or working with a particular artist or jumping - up - and - down - excited about the success of his friends, Jason has been generous in using his good fortune and fame to expose you to some talented people that might not have crossed your radar otherwise. For your listening pleasure, here's a sampling of some artists Jason has mentioned over the last year and half, including the latest: Roger Miller's "You Can't Rollerskate in a Buffalo Herd".
Get some for yourself. Christian Ross and Mothers Anthem both have music (or links to said music) for sale on their MySpace profiles. The rest are listed with Amazon or iTunes.
Short on time? Just say "Neener."

The Pointlessly Alphabetical Guide for the New Jason Fan: LL
15 July, 2009 Posted by: McLovin
LLoras tu y lloro yo
. . . y cielo tambien. When Jason combined Sting's "Fragile" with his Spanish version, "Fragilidad", on Top 10 night on AI, a trio of thoughts went through my head:
a) Crap! WHY is he singing this song? He needed something peppy this week!
b) and those stupid fucking moshbitchez are ruining it! Stop it -- just. . . stop clapping, you morons! It's not a clappy song . . . . ID-iots! [/Napolean Dynomite]
C) Hey. Did he just sing in Spanish?! Rawr.
And so went a performance which ended with Jason's one and only trip to the Bottom 3, where he remained for an agonizing 65 seconds before being sent to the safety of the couch. To add insult to injury, Chikizie ended up going home that night instead of Syesha. WTF? Ah, Chikizie. What might have been, if only you were as hooter-ific as Sy.

The Pointlessly Alphabetical Guide for the New Jason Fan: L - M
09 July, 2009 Posted by: Liz Lemon
LolCastros
Puppypundit and I stole borrowed the concept of lolzing the object of our musical admiration from the Beck forums where we first giggled at LolBecks. Back in March, 2008, when it became obvious that Jason was going to supply us with a limitless supply of lulzy photos for our amusement, Puppy plopped down a LolCastro and said "furst!" and a phenomenon was born. Several Lolz Masters emerged and kept us laughing for months. Lolzcraft was not unique to Castrocopia for long, rather the LolCastros sprung up in every remote corner of the land. Hoorah!
If you've somehow missed out on Lolcats, start here and giggle as cats pwn ur base. If you've missed out on LolCastros, check out the Just LolCastros thread.
Here are just a handful of oldies but goodies:

And because we always have fun when we find new toys and other ways to express ourselves, we also developed an addiction to creating irreverent "motivational posters". Check out the Just Motivational Posters thread. A couple of winners:

If these make you laugh, head over to http://www.wigflip.com and try your hand at the roflbot and the motivational posters. Then bring them back here and share them with us!
McLovin
Congrats to those of you on the forum who knew me well enough to guess tonight's letter M. Like I'd let a chance pass to lavish praise on my heterosexual life partner.
Newbie, have you ever wondered where the expression "Anyone who doesn't like McLovin is an asshole" came from?
Um, I've never heard that expression before.
Oh, duh. That's because I forgot to coin it. It *should* be an expression, because it's full of truth. You'd simply have to be full of suck and fail to dislike someone as lulzy, badass and winsome as our McLovin.
If you are coming upon us just now, newbie, you are entering a (temporarily) McLovinless world. You may sense a sadness just below the surface of everyone you meet. Avatars don't smile as bright. Bolded text doesn't seem so bold. Font size 14 feels like font size 10...
McLovin's wit is like the truck you didn't see running the red light at 75 miles an hour just as you enter the intersection. You are unprepared for it and it will devastate you. But just as soon as you collect your brains, you will laugh your head right off.
Her wisdom will kick your ass.
Her beauty will make you wish you had 12 eyes.
*eyeroll* Yeah yeah yeah... I get it: Her business acumen will awe you. Her gaze will melt you... So? Why does this matter to a Jason fan?
Is that true about her business acumen? Man, she's been holding out on me. Wait - are you mocking me, hypothetical reader?
Listen, newbie. This fandom would not be what it is without the influence of McLovin. From the day we opened up this blog, she set a tone here that said: "It's okay to be a fan and keep your sanity, humor and dignity. And also your potty mouth, addictive behaviors and wicked awesome music collection." Ask anyone on the forum why they post here and chances are their answer will be "McLovin". But beyond our borders, she has been a strong "international" leader in the fandom. As a moderator at JCM, she helped create a forum where all Jason's fans would feel welcome. In her role as HQ leader on the Street Team, she has been a model of hard work and level-headed good sense. And although there are many people besides her striving together to help further Jason's career and unite his fanbase, I don't think anyone in any position of leadership would disagree that she is the leaders' leader. To be honest, I never thought we'd all be functioning still without her around. But we're not utterly rudderless, so go us!
Oh and if all that wasn't enough, dear new fan, Jason said he's a fan of her work. Also this:
Above all that, she's my friend. And I miss her like the dark side of the moon misses the sun...
We need to get her back here. MCLOVIN! Wah.
This brings us halfway through our ABC's of Jason fandom. I'm gonna take a break to enjoy the company of Puppypundit and Castromaniac in Jamaica and will pick back up where I left off. Unless McLovin wants to take over. *silent prayer*
