Okay seriously, this will be my last comment. Unless someone replies to something I said. But anyways, The Real SeanJon has a MySpace.

myspace.com/therealseanjon

No music, just a couple pictures and a link to nearly blank website.

Well, I know I just commented, but here I go again...

Well, I know I just commented, but here I go again. :) I was looking at Switchfoot's Wikipedia article, (wikipedia.com and search Switchfoot if you haven't seen it.) and then I went to look at the article on Jon Foreman, all of the members have their own separate article. And at the bottom it says "In 2006, Foreman and Nickel Creek member Sean Watkins started a collaborating duo called "The Real SeanJon". The duo plans to have an album released before the end of 2007, and it will feature a version of Foreman's song "Betrayal". As of April 2007, they have seven tracks completed." Pretty cool, huh? When he said something about that at the Bro-Am I had no clue that he was serious, haha. To see the whole article go to

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Foreman

and then you can click a link to Switchfoot's article if you would like to see that.

@phil
When I think about it more, I think that maybe a Jon solo wouldn't be too bad. His acoustic songs are awesome, but with Switchfoot it excludes the rest of the band. With a solo album he could do all of those songs all on his own. I guess it wouldn't be that bad, as long as Switchfoot is still around, and their music doesn't suffer because their singer/songwriter/guitarist is off doing his own thing.

2007-06-07T22:02:00.000-07:00

I'm pretty sure the myspace/site is official, though not "launched" yet so in that sense it's unofficial.

@reianna
I might actually like a Jon solo album more than Switchfoot - or as much as Switchfoot. Not that the SF guys aren't upto the mark, not at all, but when Jon's on his own his songwriting becomes incredibly honest, without holding back (like I feel he does with SF), and he's one of the best acoustic guitarists I've known. So those things could add up for an amazing solo career. I'd love to see Jon in those "Top 100 songwriters of all time" rankings, and going solo I believe would really help him make his mark as a unique songwriter. Just IMO. In short, I think I would still LOVE his work w/o the band.

2007-06-07T21:49:00.000-07:00

Another addition to my last comment, it's not that I'm worried about Switchfoot being no more, I just don't know if it would be cool for Jon to go off on his own. Sure, there will still be a Switchfoot, but I don't know if I would still like him without the rest of the band.

2007-06-07T21:47:00.000-07:00

@vicky - I went to the MySpace, then clicked on jonforeman.com, and it's blank, but if you purposefully get a 404 (a missing link), you get a SonyMusic 404 page, just like the ones you get for a missing link on Switchfoot's site. hmmm..... I'm not sure I like this whole solo thing....

I really have nothing constructive to say since I'm still getting over the awesomeness of that photoshoot picrure. priceless.
oh the mystery!
will it ever be solved?!
That's some crazy large amount of money that was raised! Good job people.

2007-06-07T06:46:00.000-07:00

Hahaha why have I never seen that Royal Switchfoots photo before?! Amazing! What's more amazing is that Jon and Chad make really good Wilson Bros. doubles when their hair's done right! (I know it's Drew as Luke Wilson's character there, but they should have swapped!)

2007-06-06T22:09:00.000-07:00

i liked that review of the bro-am. it's so awesome to hear how it really brought the community together, even and especially in spight of the last-minute complications.

and $60,000?! sweet! powerful stuff happens when people come together with a common purpose.

2007-06-06T17:14:00.000-07:00

It's legit. Those pics of Jon are personal and not photo-shootish. Plus the Jonyth paltrow! hahaha.

And also, That website on Switchfoot's website posted by Gabby is freal, even tho there's nothing on it. haha

2007-06-06T16:27:00.000-07:00

I don't know about that myspace page actually being Jon's, but I do have some more evidence for a Jon Foreman solo project. Check out what Charlie Peacock said on his myspace page (www.myspace.com/charliepeacock):

"I'm doing something fun with Jon Foreman (solo) and Switchfoot's next record -- all of this in progress and unnamed."

Interesting, huh? I'm betting that there will be some sort of solo project, but it doesn't sound like anything real serious. I don't think the guys of Switchfoot will be giving up the band anytime soon.

I love that picture! Its great! I love how Jerome ...

2007-06-06T16:26:00.000-07:00

I love that picture! Its great! I love how Jerome is just stand there all calm. I wouldn't be able to stop laughing if I was there to see Jon flying through the air in a skirt... lol

I can see myself in those pictures! Thats neat! Andy is in nearly all of my pictures from the SF set. lol.

I wouldn't be surprised if it actually is Jon. All...

2007-06-06T16:20:00.000-07:00

I wouldn't be surprised if it actually is Jon. All we can do now is wait on Switchfoot/Phil's word :D (this place is starting to have a detective/spy feel to it. I like it!)

hmm, solo project...well if you right click the pa...

well if you right click the page (jonforeman.com), the url is www.switchfoot.com/jfweb/ ...

so! yeah! x]

2007-06-06T15:49:00.000-07:00

I'm sure phil (with his indefinite sources of information and his ability to know the right people ;] ) can tell us if it's official or not. I'm kinda doubting it. who knows.

I wish I could see myself in those pictures.

2007-06-06T12:13:00.000-07:00

I wouldn't worry if solo projects arise. You can still be/have a band and have solo projects on the side.

2007-06-06T10:53:00.000-07:00

Haha. If it wasn’t for that pic I would have never mentioned it!
And if it’s official, it says 'acoustic' below Jon's name, so I thought it has something to do with the Real SeanJon thing…but I dunno.
Hmm. And it was modified cuz last night there was no general info.

p.s.
oh and woooo!
thanks for the mention Phil!

2007-06-06T10:29:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone!

1. That picture of Jon is priceless. I never thought I would see anything like that in my life.

2. Is that really his official myspace? I added him anyways.

3. Does that solo project mean no more switchfoot? I hope not!

4. Bro-am pictures look awesome!

Thanks for the updates Phil. I hope you have a great day!
