We got to our seats and clapped our hands and sang along. There were all these empty seats in front of us so I was like 'Lets move up' so we moved up like 5 rows then I said lets move up more so we finally got to the very front row! I was like 'Man! I am sooo close!!' I sang the songs as loud as I could and did whatever Tay said! After "If Only" Taylor said "Ok guys, lets try something cause we cannot go on unless you guys can do this." So Tay said "Jump up and down like this. Now clap your hands while jumping up and down now sway your arms. Ok, now this is our first single off of This Time Around." Every now and then Tay would crouch down and shake our hands and I was like man I am never washing this hand again my dream man just shook it!!
Zac was wearing a black shirt with Khaki pants and red shoes, Ike was wearing a greyish blueish shirt with flowers on the back of it with khaki pants and the usual airwalks and Taylor, that Taylor was wearing leather pants and a long sleave purple shirt!!! He got sweatier and sweatier by the moment. You could tell cause it was dripping all down his face and it was all over his shirt. Then they played "Mmmbop" and oh ma,n was that just the coolest? I thought I would never hear that song live! I was very excited! After "Mmmbop" they played "In the City" and when they said they were going to play it I was like 'Awesome! This is going to sound cool!' Tay doesn't play any insturments during that song so he walked all around singing with the microphone! He would go over to Isaac and sing in the same mic with him it was really cute! He did that a few times and then Tay was standing in front of Isaac and some girl next to me threw a pencil at him!! It hit him in the head!!! Very close to his eye, might I add. I felt very bad. I don't know how to describe the way he reacted. He kinda blinked his eyes and jerked his head backwards. Then Tay got down OFF THE STAGE and was running in between the gate and the stage cause there is space there for security and he was shaking everyones hands in the front row! Mine included! He stopped and sang a little diagonally from me and I held his shirt while he was standing there! It was really wet because of the swea,t but do you think I really cared? Nope! IT WAS TAYLOR HANSON!!! The song was over and we all screamed like crazy hoping for an encore! Everyone threw roses on the stage and Isaac picked one up and put it in his mouth. It was so funny! They took a bow and left the stage.
Anyways I was all sweaty after that they really gave me a workout! I sat down in my seat still a little shocked at how close I was. I sat there for like, 20 minutes and then took off for a drink wherever I could get one! Then I went over to watch King Konga on the Levi's stage they were really good and then after they were on I kinda walked a round a little then I heard these screaming fans and I was like, 'Oh man, it has to be Hanson!' Then I ran and followed the screaching noise I found Hanson surrounded by 5 security guards followed by about 25-35 Hanson fans longing for another Hanson handshake! But I don't think they were allowed to shake any hands cause they would have probably have gotten pulled over! They got in their black stretch limo and took off to who knows where. Then after all that excitment, I went back to my seat to tell my sister what had happened. Then she told me that she was walking and there were these girls looking through the backstage fence and Taylor and Zac were outside in the back doing something and the girls were calling his name and he came over and looked through the fence and said hi. I thought that was pretty interesting! I wish I could have been those girls! Well the night went on with killer performances by Train, Bon Jovi, and Big Bad Voo Doo Daddy, which were all really good. I left with one big night in my memory that I would never forget! It was the best night I have ever had! Rock on! And for all you Hanson fans reading this, Love Peace and Bullet Proof Marshmellows.
