My friend Michelle and I decided to go check out the Tower Theater to see what it was like. So my parents drove us there on Friday night. It was really scary and ghetto..but Hanson was going to be there the next night so we loved it! As we turned down the street past it there was a van from Oklahoma in front of us and we started freaking out..but as we drove past it we realized it was those people that stalk Hanson..you might have recognized them..the one lady has majorly screwed up teeth! So on our way home we decided to look at the hotels to see if we could spot their busses. Well just as we were about to give up we spotted them in a gated parking lot. It was dark out by now. So paying the $5 it was to get in..we parked behind the busses. A group of three men were by them, they had just gotten out of a cab with their golfing equipment. So we walked into the hotel and to get there there was a small street with sidewalk on both sides. So as we were walking on oneside I look over and I see Zac and Ashley (the girl) walking on the opposite sidewalk. So I am in a daze right about now and my dad is on that side of the sidewalk and walks RIGHT next to him. Michelle and I stayed on the opposite sidewalk and out of nowhere Im like "Hey Zac" but he just ignored me! I couldnt believe I actually had the guts to say anything because I am ususally so shy! So they kept walking and Im guessing they went to the bus. I couldnt believe that Zac was just walking around by himself like that..especially at night in Philly! haha So anyway we go in the lobby and sit down. A few minutes later Zac and Ashley walked back in. Ashley walks one way and Zacs walks right past me..with his head turned on purpose as if to ignore us. I didnt say anything because I could tell he didnt want to be bothered. Then he walked into the hallway where the elevators were and got in. I couldnt believe I had just been so close to Zac Hanson and acted perfectly calm. I mean I freak out more when I see boys that I am obsessed with in school! And then Zac Hanson walks by and I hardly even pay attention. Then these others girls came to check into the hotel. I tried to be nice to them but they were just PURE IGNORANT to me so I didnt bother. Ashley walked by us a few times too. So anyway those girls were like wispering about us and staring at us and I felt bad about sitting down there stalking Hanson so we decided to leave. As we did we got pics by the tour busses. There was a guy sitting in there and a light was on so you could kinda see the inside of the front. So I felt really dumb and wanted to leave but my parents insisted that they get a pic of us by it! haha And that was the end of that night!
Well it all started back in the end of July when I won tickets of of 97.5 PST! I was soo excited! I was even more excited when I got the tickets a few weeks later and realized I had front row!! However I found out when I got to the theater there was pit in front of me which actually made me 3rd row..but I can't complain! :O) My cousins Katie and Sara, and my friends Kelley, Maria, Kathy and I all headed to Hanson's hotel to see if they were still there but they weren't. So we headed for the Tower Theater and there were a lot of people already there..it was about 3:45. We found out that Hanson had just gotten off their tour bus about 10 minutes before we got there. The busses were all parked where you could touch them and stuff. There was a mean security guard which my dad got in a fight with! But anyway as we were standing there we saw Walker and then Diana arrived in a cab. Around 4:40 we went to wait in line where we waited until 6:30. We past the time by trying to figure out where to hide our cameras. I'd like to say hi to the nice girl behind us that let Maria borrow her shirt..we still have it so if you are reading this e-mail me and I'll get it back to ya! I also met up with my friends Taylor and Ashley who I met when Hanson performed in Baltimore. We got in the Tower about 6:45 and went right to the merchandise! It was crazy there! Everyone was pushing..i can only imagine what general admission is like. So we went to the bathroom where we waited until 7:45 and walked in while M2M was on. They were pretty decent. So we went to our seats which were EXTREMELY close.
My friend Stephanie sat right behind me. A lot of girls got kicked out who had snuck up! (Sidenote: Before Hanson came out a girl threw up behind me! Pretty gross...but it gets worse. A random girl was hiding from security guards under Kathy and I's seat and she crawled in it! haha It was so funny..i look down and theres a head underneath me! ) So finally after waiting forever Hanson came out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was such a rush! Tay had on these lace up jeans with a rhinestone belt..and a green shirt over a grey wifebeater. Zac had on black jeans, and a red and blue shirt, and Ike had on some type of flowery shirt..dont know the pants though..maybe brown.
