13. Dare I infer -

that you are less than - say - impressed?

[progmom]

16. he's cute...

[Madrone]

18. LOL

Okay.

14. I'd agree with that.

He's in the same group as John Mayer, Ryan Cabrera, Howie Day.... all those really lame "young man with a guitar" guys. Unlike those guys, though, he doesn't have an annoying whispery thing about his voice, and he's not dumb. :D

There's something thoughtful about his work, IMO, though, which would lend itself to geekiness. And he's kind of silly. He completely knows he's doing pop music. So I'd say you're pretty right on.

Because I think he's a dreamboat, I think he's got a great deal of potential....he's opened for Dave Matthews Band and Alanis Morrissette's acoustic tour, if that helps explain his music at all....

5. it makes you a jason Mraz fan

don't know how cool that really is

[progmom]

6. but i am not

i just had to walk 50 feet from my desk to the conference room. hardly a commitment on my part.

[Zuni]

7. but did you enjoy it?

if you did, you are technically a jason Mraz fan

[tjdee]

8. OH MY GOD. Seriously, I dig him so seriously....

I read his blog and everything. His and the new U2 cd are the only ones I have in my car (because I can't burn my hindi songs, but anyway!)

This makes you so much cooler than you were before, because, as I mentioned, I think he is way adorable. I even have a two dollar bill for him (a personal inside affair for me and the thousands of other women who read said blog).

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Did you find him adorable? Because if you didn't, I don't even know who you are anymore. Though, it is true that you were cool before. ;)

9. when he walked in, i leaned over to my coworker and said:

"wow - he is a cutie!"

[Rick Myers]

15. His stuff is pretty good!

I like him. Cool!!!

17. It gave you a good story.

Whether you like his music or not you can always say to someone at a cocktail party that you were thisclose to him.
It's nice to have a few stories.
