Hello there, cyber-friends. In a couple days we'll have you a bro-am report with exclusive media and an interview the guys did for you blog-readers. But while that's in the works, here's some goodness our Canadian friend Katrina Dick (who flew all the way to SD) brought back from the event, to tide you over...
Ticket to San Diego = $350. Ticket to Bro-am = free. Getting to see Chad's tribal dance = priceless.
For another, shorter bro-ball clip, click here. And here's a clip of many of the artists together performing Weezer's "Surf Wax America". Thanks Katrina, for all the above. Also, here's another treat, watch Jason Mraz perform at the event. Thanks, bennyek.
Courtesy landofbrokenhearts.org, we have footage and lyrics of the newest unreleased Jon song (the real seanjon, I'd bet, as it's yet another murder song. Beyond excited about this collaboration.) "The Story of a Man Named Pride". For those signed up with eSnips (or willing to), they've also made an MP3 download of it available. Lyrics deciphered at LOBH's lyrics page. Thanks, LOBH.
(LOBH had also put out a recording of another unreleased song they call "Ten Years" that Jon performed at a recent acoustic set. We've been putting off posting this because a friend was supposed to review the show for us and we wanted to tag the video/mp3 alongwith the review, but it hasn't happened yet.)
I stumbled by this old Reeve Oliver blog entry that has a couple Switchfoot mentions, as well as a picture of Jon lip-syncing at the shoot of the "Lonely Nation" video that never saw the light of day.
"Seriously the land leading out to the water looked like the moon(which by the way, we never landed, on according to jon foreman, more on that later)."
I didn't know that Jon, too, believes that man never walked on the moon. Yeah, I'm not sure we did, either. Google it up if you're curious. ;)
We'd posted a video of Tim on the CBS8 news channel, but we now have a video of Jon appearing on KUSI, speaking about dodgeball, etc. For those who like to download these things for posterity's sake, right click here and "save target as..." :)
That's it for now amigos, be excited about an exclusive interview with the guys, from bro-am, coming up soon. peace out.
Oh the short shorts... No man should ever wear short shorts.. Even Mr. Tim Foreman (all the fan girls scream in protest). I also feel the need to say that I didn't fly to SD for just the bro-am. And bro-ball, that genius, Phil, pure genius!
ps. I so don't get what I'm supposed to be looking at for the moon thing........ Am I just dense?..
Phil, great updates!! Katrina your pics are awesome!! (I am an lobher) just incase you didn't know...I saw them there too!! :) I bet you had heaps of fun!!
It's a conspiracy theory. Supposedly at least one of the Apollo missions to the moon was faked. Phil was just linking a google search for more info on that point.. :-)
On another note, that Jason mraz freestyle was a little bit risque.
i agree with vicky. it's like Times Square - majorly overstimulating and confusing my brain with its awesomeness. except i'd take switchfeed and bro-am.. er, bro-ball over times square anyday :)
Bro-Am was amazing! Thanks for posting all that info! I have tons of pic and stuff if you want the link Phil. I was front row at the after party and got tons of great pics!
haha, Rose put that much better than I did. I don't get it/can't find it. I had to watch a video on the theory of the moon hoax once. I think it was in my social class in gr 12.. but I can't remember for the life of me why...
hhmm... that blog photo doesn't show
