Did you Hanson my phone?
Well well well. September 10, 2003. Best day of my life - even better than My Moffatts concert. WARNING: Hanson Concert Review.... read at your own risk
Danielle and I left at 5:00 am and went allll the way to Seattle. We got to the Showbox Showroom and there weren't many girls in line. So we started talking to some of them and by the time it got later we had moved up and found ourselves a nice comfy spot with Karrin and Kyle. *sigh* she was so cool. :D He was pretty cool, too. (hehehe - who Hansoned my phone? Did YOU Hanson my phone? OH... I guess I hansoned my phone..)
The security were sooo mean. I mean, the whole time I was in line I felt like a freggin number - someone who held a ticket. it was dumb. Plus there were these megabitches in line. Kaarin was all cool about wanting us to be in line with her. She was having a blast talking to us and stuff - but then this girl (whom we had held place in line for while she went back to her room to pretty herself up) came up and was like "I don't want to get security involved... we're giving you the chance to have your place back... I'm not letting ANYONE cut in front of me..." *rolls eyes* okay, bitch
then these girls that we had to move in front of got all bitchy... like we weren't in front of them before *sigh*
I doubt the rain helped anything as it is.
ANYWAY, as 5 drew closer, I started to get really really really nervous. it was like i had to sneeze, throw up, and hyperventalate all at the same time. Oy, I could tell you. So at 5 we met up with Micha who made us line up single file and he went down and asked our names and if you were on the list that was written on his piece of paper he gave you a purple bracelet which was the pass. He came up to me and I told him my name. That was the longest wait... while he looked at the paper to see if I was there. When he grabbed the bracelet and handed to me I was like "Omg... I'm on the list..." So, then Micha gave us the run-down. WE just get a picture. They're not signing anything. You take the pic and then you're done. blahblahblah.
We walked in (FINALLY) well-after 6:30 and as soon as we did Taylor and Isaac were on stage warming up. I was like "OOOOH my gosh..." (to myself, of course. :p) thinking "Taylor and Isaac are... right in front of me! Holy cow!" 'cause I told you about that whole they don't seem like real people to me thing. Anyway, they took us to that platform in the back and split us up into three groups. (H.net, radio, and friends of the manager *rolls eyes) Then they walked out and I was like "I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry... I'm not gonna throw up, I'm not gonna throw up..." because, afterall - we're talking they were about a YARD in front of me, geez (not trying to brag). So, anyway, They did the radio winner people first. Taylor wanted to do us first. (Every time he looked over that the h.net winners, he'd look at me straight in the eye first, then look at the other people. It was crazy!) Micha told him to do the radio winners first so Taylor leaned over our way and said "You'll get more time, anyway." and I was thinking "yeah, right." so the radio winners all got something autographed. Then was us. One of the girls stepped forward and then Mei-Ling (a street team girl) was like "You're going next" and I was like "I'm... what?" but before I could decide if I actually WANTED to The guys were waving me over and I was like "oh, geez..." so I walked over (didn't trip, thank GOD) and stuck out my hand. "Hi, I'm Amber" I said, over Isaac saying "And you are..." Isaac shook my hand and said "Hi, it's nice to meet you." Then Taylor stuck out his hand and shook mine (while smirking. not sure what's up with that) while saying "Hi, Amber" (*melts*) then I turned to Zac who shook my hand and said "Hey."
Well, then I was like "sorry, my hands are kinda cold. I'm kinda nervous. This is my first concert." And Isaac said "that's alright." Taylor said "Yeah, we won't hate you... at least not yet." (Smart ass.)
They snapped the pic and Zac leans over and looks at me and VERY enthusiastically says "This is your first concert EVER?!" (me being dumb didn't even realize what he meant until about 5 minutes later.) and I was like "yeah, in 97 I was grounded and in 2000 the girl that was buying me tickets bought the last one, so, I've been jipped." I just ginned, realizing my turn was up and walked on by feeling really really dumb and Taylor was like "Have fun!" meanwhile I was like "oh geez."
But, yeah... Zac seemed QUITE interested in what I had to say. *rolls eyes*
Anyway... *sigh* met Hanson. Then the show was Awesome. Isaac did this really amazing performance of "Hand in Hand" and the emotion was just so raw. And Taylor did a song that I'm pulling my hair trying to remember the name of... but it was an Elvis song. *sigh*
but.. I dunno. It'll take some time to recover... as well as realize that it actually freggin happened.
But in all honesty? Taylors got no ass. lol. It seriously sticks out only an inch or so
Zac, tho. ;) And Taylor was growing out some stubble. That was... really... sexy. Like, Rugged sexy. And Isaac and Zac had a very "freshly blow-dried" look.
When I get the pic I'll post it... fer sure.
Anyway...
Until Next Time.
