"If anyone happen to record any good video footage of the JOP Ritz show Saturday night? Well, if you know how to get it off your device and put it on a CD or DVD (as to put it in the mail to us), we'd be interested in seeing your footage and possibly using it for the official DVD of the show. Basically, we're interested in high quality footage that's not terribly shaky or have a ton of heads in the way. Please email drewblanton@yahoo.com if you'd like to help us! Of course you will be compensated for your time and expense."Check out some fan-filmed footage from the show below:
