I had it fixed in my head that you were about 24 years old. Ha! That just got blown away

I didn’t know you looked like that!
My brothers just gone to greenbelt. I sent him away with my Electralyte albums and ordered him to get them signed. But Ive never been. Nice weather you had, hahaha.

That was great – good to see your face Jon, and to confirm you’re as nice in person as you seem on the blog!
Also brilliant to see you getting some more recognition for your work, and on a personal note, cheers for sticking up for LGBT Christians.

great to get the vid, and see your smily mug Jon.
it’s amazing when you stop and think, the freedom asbojesus has had to explore ideas other parts of the church don’t offer opportunities to talk about
I know for me, I’ve been able to think, and reconsider stuff, from looking at this blog, I also love that feeling of solidarity against injustice, and realising how much people do care about stuff that we don’t look at very much

I’ll have to watch it when I’m not sat in the proost event with carole, phil and dr ruth

nice to put a face to the asbo.
subo- agree completely. one thing i like about it is that we can freely share viewpoints whether we agree or disagree and all still be friends. even from over here across the pond in the us

Steve’s posting raises an interesting musicians etiquette – is it cool to sit in another musos concert (Ian Archer in the Centaur) with a Apple lap-top on your knee checking your emails and writing posts?.

Hi Tom – I positively encourage it at my gigs, especially if you’re web-streaming the gig, like I was with part of Iain’s show…

Really good to see you – i think next year will herald our triumphant return to GB! don’t know if i could handle just being a punter and having to relax and enjoy myself!
Comment by Will — August 24, 2008 @ 9:33 pm
Funny. I imagined you with grey-ish hair.
Comment by Ros — August 24, 2008 @ 9:34 pm
Hope Greenbelt was great. I have now nominated you as a “brillante weblog 2008″ – no idea why it is spelled that way, but hey, it’s a bit of fun! And ASBO Jesus is brilliant anyway

Nice to see you at GB Birchy- Remember to use the glitter sparingly as an accessory!
Comment by Stumpy — August 26, 2008 @ 4:35 pm
and Asbo Jesus is inspired BTW….
Comment by Stumpy — August 26, 2008 @ 7:58 pm
Hi Jon, great to meet you at Greenbelt, and hang out at Binkys. I didn’t believe my friend when he said you were ASBO Jesus but now I know. Keep up the good work.
Jon (with the pipe)

1072 views at this point? That must be very nearly rock star level. Can I have your autograph?
Comment by Carole — August 27, 2008 @ 9:14 am
that was fab, i love seeing people’s faces – and i never look like me in photos for some reason, i reckon most people look different in ‘real life’ to those tinsy icon pictures.
anyway, good to see you, so to speak.

Hi Jon, you looked really cool in the video. Can I be one of your groupies?

Come on Birchy. You’ve been back for two days. Where are the cartoons?
Comment by Jen — August 28, 2008 @ 8:28 am
Hey, Jon!
We met in Contributors – I’m the guy who was the art student up at Sion Hill, back in the early 90s, and remembered you playing keys with Jonny Baker.
Nice to meet you in person properly! Video looks fab, too.

Describe ASBO Jesus in one sentence?
Riiiight.
And while you’re at it, define what makes poetry be poetry in one word!
Comment by Forrest — August 28, 2008 @ 11:34 am
I hope you see this belated idea. How about a self portrait of this Christian who roles his own and openly laughs about getting people drunk – better than some Christians I can think of who swear people to secrecy about their drink problem and affair.
