Just a message from me from Las Vegas!!

Hey yall!!!  I'm having a great time out here in Vegas!!!  And I haven't actually had the time I need to put together a nice post for yall, but I am on FB doing some posting of videos and pictures from Sound Check on Friday!  I just want to thank everyone who has wished me a good time out here, and I am..... so Thank You!!!  I was so glad I got to finally talk to Casey for a few minutes!  I had to remind him who I am again, which I didn't mind at all, because I know he meets alot of people.  But I told him my name and it was me who does the Caseymania site, and his response literally nearly floored me!!!!!  He said.....and I quote him......" Yea, we over there earlier looking around!!"  I was like....."Are you serious?"  He said "Yea"!  I couldn't believe it!  So I gotta keep in mind that he does visit it and I won't be posting anything I don't want him to read!  Well, I don't think I have anyway, but I'll be even more careful to not turn into a fan girl on here!!!! 
Anyway, I handed my picture from Little Rock to him to sign, and he, almost embarrassingly, said....."What was your name again....I'm sorry?"  I told him and then said....."Ok, I'm gonna help you remember my name......you remember Wizard of Oz and Glenda the Goodwitch??"  And he immediately pointed his
finger at me, and rather quickly said...."I'll never forget it again" and smiled his sweet smile!!!  I thought....ok....or actually I think I did say it out loud!!  But kinda loud......like.....O....KAY!!!  lol!!!  I was so happy to be in that moment!!  What a great guy!!!
Then.....a little later....I saw Todd, and went over to him and intro'd myself, and told him I'm the one who does the Caseymania site, and he said almost the same exact words that Casey did!!!!!  Can you believe it??!!  Then, of course I said...."Yea, that's what Casey was telling me"  THANK YOU!!!!!! 
I could have died right then, and been a happy woman with a smile on my face!!!!  LOL!!

Ok, yall, I'm gonna put my favorite picture up and then I gotta get some sleep, tomorrow is a BIG day!!!!!  I'll do a full post as soon as I can!!

And I wanted to thank ALL of Casey's Fans and you....my friends, for helping me to get the pictures and videos out so all could see them!!  I really appreciated all the help!!!!!  Yall Rock!!!!

I'll be back soon.....

The ACM Awards & Fan Jam live in Las Vegas this weekend & new Casey Pictures!!

Hey yall!!  Who's excited for this BIG weekend and all the Casey love coming to you LIVE from Las Vegas!!!???  It's gonna be one great BIG party!!!  As most of you know, but I'll remind you again.....Casey has been invited to be a part of the very 1st  American Country Music (ACM) Fan Jam, taking place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center,in Las Vegas on Sunday evening, April 3rd, starting at 8pm live ET/ delayed PT on the CBS Network!!  For tickets and more information click "Here"

Not only is Casey a part of this phenomenal,  inaugural event, but he is also performing Live on Friday, April 1st, in downtown Vegas at the ACM Weekend on Fremont Street Experience!!!  It will feature newcomer category nominees, special guests and headliner, Sara Evans!!  All the free music will be taking place on 2 stages downtown, and Casey will be on Stage 1 at 7:00pm!  The next day, will also feature a host of new and upcoming artists, with Ronny Dunn finishing off the night as Saturday's headliner!!


As it turns out, I am so very fortunate to be able to be a part of  this whole event!! (at the last minute I might add)  I was not expecting to go to this at all, and suddenly fate stepped in, and made things fall into place, so I could!!  So, I'm going to try to be on the front of the stage at the Fremont Street Live Shows, so I can get some nice photos, and hopefully videos of Casey performing!!  I plan on using mostly my phone this time, because I can immediately post the pics and video to Twitter and Facebook!!  Giving those of you at home a sense of what it's like to be there!!  I am thinking about making 2 different signs so Casey can see them, since he seems to like the signs, and enjoys them from the stage!!!  I'm turning into a real fangirl!!!  The only thing left to do is Squeeeeeeeee!!!!  :-D


Up next, I'm sorry this is a bit late, but I finally got it together and I have a couple of Fan Pics and a recap from Kansas City, Mo. last Friday, and.......some unbelievable shots from the show!!  Many thanks to my friend LaPaula for all her awesome shots!!

The 1st one is Karen and Casey.  Thanks for the conference call, and your wonderful recap!!  Next is Linda (L) Casey and Karen.  Great pics!!

And here is Karen's very interesting and detailed recap from her eyes!!  Enjoy!

Just got back from Kansas City. I met ncountrygirl and artistatheart as soon as we got to the hotel, two beautiful souls I might add. The doors were to open at 5:30 but Casey was still in soundcheck so the line grew and we were finally allowed to enter at around 6:00. I got to give LDG-lildrummergirl (LaDonna) those hugs I promised, met Amber, Jen Lloyd and Kellie James and had visited with Kraina (Kathy) outside while we were waiting. By the time I found our reserved table and got me and my scooter (for my cast) settled, it was 6:20. I knew I needed to call Shari for the audio-cast at 6:30. I wanted so badly to get Casey to come on and say hi to his twitter family. We spotted him in the back playing pool and since I was immobile, my friend Linda went back to take some pictures and she asked his manager, Todd, if Casey could come to the table to talk on the phone. Please forgive us, Shari, but we did a little name-dropping. Linda told him that I was on the phone with you and could not get around because of my cast. She asked Casey if he would come say hi, at least, and he said “Absolutely”. By that time they were whisking him up to perform so I was a little disappointed. After his set, he started signing autographs and taking pictures. So I asked Linda if she would take the Christmas card I had designed for Glenda’s card exchange up to have him sign it. She went up and got in the back of the line and Todd spotted her and told her how sorry he was that Casey could not make it to our table while I was on the conference call but that he would make sure that Casey came to see me. We sat another couple of hours and I had given up all hope of getting that hug. The crowd was shoulder to shoulder and out of nowhere, through the crowd, appears Todd and Casey, right up to our table. I gave him the biggest hug and told him how much I loved him, sobbing like a baby..and I couldn’t thank Todd enough. We chatted a minute and Casey commented on my cast and signed my card with “Thank you so much and get well soon”. We got our pictures and by that time, the people around us started realizing who he was so everyone was wanting pictures. The price of fame must be overwhelming. You’ve heard this over and over…he is younger looking and more beautiful in person than any picture can capture. He is as sweet and humble as you would imagine. I will never EVER forget that meeting. Thank you, Shari. If Linda had not mentioned your name, it may have never happened.


Ok, thats all I have right now.....yall don't forget about the ACM Awards this Sunday Night!!  If you can't watch it live.....set those DVR's, cause you don't want to miss this!!!  :)

Until next time.....

First Videos from Kansas City now up!

New Updates Below:

Wooooo Hooooo!!!!  What a night it was last night in Kansas City, Mo.!!  Casey's set was on fire and the fans were grooving and moving to the beat!!!!  Casey went on at 7:30 last night, with 30 minutes to play instead of the usual 25, and so, he had time for one more song, that we hadn't heard from him before!!  It's a cover of the old Vince Gill favorite, "Liza Jane", but of course with the Caseyness added to it!!  It was a rip-roaring time for the fans, that's for sure!!

The first videos have been added to youtube, and the first one up is "Bulletproof ", and that was the perfect song for the setting, beings it was a bar.  That song was written to sing in a bar, or better yet, a honky tonk!!  Because that song definitely has a honky-tonk feel!!  Great way to loosen up the crowd!!!

Next up is his 'sexy' song.....and a favorite with the ladies, I'm sure!  "Let's Don't Call It A Night"....yep, I can hear this song on the radio.....right now!!  It's those love songs that Casey just makes ladies all over, weak in the knees with.....yep.....

Great Big Thanks going out to our girl Ladonna (pnknut2) for these awesome videos!!!

As the day progresses I'll add video and pics as they come in, so yall check back.....there's more to come!!

Casey James celebrates Craig Morgans Birthday tonight in Kansas City, Mo.

Well, sorry guys, this little gig just caught me off guard!!  I heard about this about a week or two ago, but forgot to come back and post the info about it till now!!!   So.....I apologize for that!!  So, if you live in or around the Kansas City, Mo. area and would love to see Casey tonight, he's opening for Craig Morgan at  "THE WHISKEY TANGO" nightclub!!  This is a radio event sponsored by Q104.  The website says it starts at 7:30, and looks like the doors open at 5:30/6:00.  So if you want and can....this is a great place to g0 see him!!  For more information click the link above!!

There is at least 6 or 7  people going that are big Casey fans!  So we will probably be seeing some pictures and/or video later on tonight!  So, I'll be back later with updates......yall check back!!!

Just got word there is a conference call tonight!  But in order to access it you need to go to the  Casey James Blog  and log in!!  If your interested click on the link above and the directions should be there!!  Thanks Shari for setting this up!

More later.....

This new interview came through twitter just a little bit ago.....Thanks to the Hollywood Reporter for catching up with Casey after the American Idol show in LA last night!!!  When asked questions about the release of his debut album, Casey had this to say....

THR: If it were up to you, when would the record come out? 

James: When it's right. I know a lot of people are anxious to hear it, and I could have absolutely had a record out by now, but you know what? I want it to be deserving of the fans that put me in this position. I want it to be worth their money. I want to be able to look back on it and be proud of it. So if it takes me another six months, then OK. But it's going to be really soon. There's something going to radio, so start listening out for my stuff.

THR: Word is you’ve written every song on the album, what has been inspiring you lyrically?

James: I'm at an interesting place in my life. Everything is great, but I'm also in a new place where I'm alone a lot -- just me and the dogs. So you pull from that, from all the good and the bad of your experiences in life. It's writing like I've always done but now I'm lucky enough to be working with some amazing songwriters that live in Nashville. They really know the craft and they help me. I might be a word away, and they’ll say, "Well, why don't you try this?" And I go, "Yep, that's it! Thank you!" So it's really a privilege and it just helps my game.

Read all the awesome questions and answers  "HERE"

As you know there was a conference call tonight, and I listened in.....and...it was the BEST one I think I've ever heard!!  Very clear through the whole concert!!  And here is the audio here for anyone who might have missed it>>>  "Audio"
