Good morning world. There's special news out from the Jason Castro camp! In case you have had your head in the sand this past year, Jason Castro was the fourth top runner up in Season 7 American Idol. And even if you don't watch American Idol, he's been on several TV shows, in many magazines, and gracing the Red Carpet events this last year. If you know anything about current music, you may know his name for breaking some industry records. Jason is well recognized for his dreads and also being mischaracterized for them, but they so perfectly fit his laid-back outlook on life as well.
A little about the man -- not only is he actually smarter than your average bear (attended Texas A&M on a Petroleum Engineering Scholarship), he is strong in his faith and in his commitment to service and giving his time to help others. He is motivated by a higher authority to go beyond--and he does. So if you are one of the ones that has not heard of Jason Castro, keep your eyes and ears open and you will. (FYI, there happens to be two Jason Castro's, both from Texas, the other is a ballplayer who is gaining notoriety at the same time).
So, being so Jasonnn, Jason (who is an AVID reader) in support of the BEST Foundation Education Foundation in Garland, Texas will meet fans and sign autographs.
So, here ya go with the 411:
