Everyone that is willing to participate, please post! At your next JM show, you should bring a sign (not huge, just right) that says "I got ur back
John"....or something along those lines. If you are wondering where this post stems from please refer to http://johnmayer.yuku.com/topic/6521. The 8.30.08
Tampa Florida / Ford Amphitheatre Thread. If you think this is stupid (you are among others) post anyway! Lets make a statement, whether or not it makes him
laugh or simply take it for what its worth.

Whatever floats your boat
 .....what are those bubble wand things called
anyway? I'm sure there is an actual name for it, just like the little plastic thing at the end of a shoelace. Someone always tells me what it's called,
but it is just one of those words I can never remember.

Pat, ftw.
 
When I was a kid, when I was a little boy, I always wanted to be a dinosaur. I wanted to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex more than anything in the world! I made my arms short, and I roamed the backyard, and I chased the neighborhood cats, and I growled and I roared and everybody knew me and was afraid of me. But then one day my dad said "Bobby, you're 17. It's time to throw childish things aside." And I said, "Okay, Pop." But he really didn't say that, he said "Quit being a fucking dinosaur and get a job." |

I'm telling you, the BEST use of signage I've seen at a show, (and there have been some good ones) had to be those three women in Phoenix. Forget
exactly what the sign said but it stopped the whole show. John actually sniffed and wiped his eyes he was so touched. Something about David being the real
rock star.

The plastic or metal sleeves at the end of shoelaces are called "aglets" (or "aiglets"). Besides making an interesting trivia or crossword puzzle question, aglets have several functions: They prevent the lace ends from fraying, they make the laces easier to hold, and they make them easier to pass through the eyelets. The word "aglet" (or "aiglet") comes from Old French "aguillette" (or "aiguillette"), which is the diminutive of "aguille" (or "aiguilee"), meaning "needle". This in turn comes from the original Latin word for needle: "acus".

Btw Dela is the real rock star, those three women had it all wrong. And IMO, it was the perfect sign, the timing was perfect, David's father had just passed away and I never saw him blush and grin like that. Perfect all around and John was loving it. As much I loved Dela, he just wasn't there the last few tours. Sean Hurley fits much better this time around. Seems to have some life to him. Except for the occasional sticking his tongue out at John or fooling around with David, Dela was pretty much in his own little world and that world did not include that band. gotta love the interaction with Sean, they are just having a ball up there. I really don't have a problem with signs, if they are done the way you say, put them up between songs take them down and put them away. If he sees them fine if not you took your shot.... The ones I have a problem with are the girls who hold them up constantly, up down, up down and scream his name over and over throughout the night, until I want to take the signs and beat them with the glitter. There is a thing as overkill and that qualifies. debbie

all, I just wanted to make a statement in his name and let him know that his fans are there for him. My main purpose is to hear some great music, not to block
the view of fellow JM fans. I'm actually not even excited to do it anymore. He commented in "Where The Light Is" about wanting that "I got
your back, kind of love", I just thought it would be funny....but now I'm over it, I'm not really feeling any love now. |

Best sign ever was at Chicago 9-02., also comment-worthy by JM. Bonk or someone has it still I bet. It was autographed after the show.

At the Copenhagen concert I had a sign that said "Please play Covered In Rain" and it had a heart. (LOL)
He definately saw it, cause he signed it  .. But didn't play it. 
I wanna come up with something funny for next time. Another girl had a sign that said "I've never been hugged" so he teased her and then blew her a hug.

" How many drinks would it take to come home with us tonight " anddddd he talked to it so you can hear it on the tape before Why Georgia

Really, it's so archaic and crude to threaten to tear up someone's sign and beat them with it. Violence is not the way to solve issues such as these.
And it's perfectly within the sign-maker's right to bring one to the concert and show their support for the artist they love.
And it's perfectly within my right to throw beer on them. |
