Flash forward to July 5. Our lives aren't that interesting, so if you REALLY want to know about what happened during that month or so, email us.
During the morning of July 5, we decided to make a few signs (which we forgot) to bring to the concert. They were QUITE interesting. I'm sure you really want to know about them, so here it goes. We made three signs... one for Ike, one for Tay, and one for the general Hanson band. We would have made one for Zac, but he's 12, and we're not big fans of him. For you recycle freaks out there, we did use the back of the posters, so it was actually 1 and 1/2 posters.
Okay. First the Ike one. We mentioned some of the things he said in TT&MON (Hanson's home video for those of you who don't know), such as "Supa!", "Look. Sears is having a sale", and "omigod we have a situation." Then we went a little psycho, and added stuff like "I wanna see Ike shake some tailfeather", "Ike is sexy", "wanna see my 3 car garage?", and the classic "take it off baby!"
Now on to the Hanson sign. This sign is kinda disgusting. We have "MMMBOP, it's a DAMN fragment of time" (Ike will never shut up about that. think Storytellers, Scrapbook, Jenny, this could go on for awhile.), "get your earplugs and let's boogie" (from Walker and the musical comedy BLUES BROTHERS, from Matt "Guitar" Murphy), "bulletproof marshmellows", "if I don't get autographs I'm committing suicide!", "In case you haven't noticed, we're sick of Cindy Crawford" (so you met them and pretended to sing MMMBOP. you practically called them girls.). Those were tame compared to the rest of them. The rest of the sign... "I'm raising Zac Hanson's love child" (we really wanted Louise's mum to hold up this sign for that quote, but she didn't agree to the idea.), "you wanna see something, do ya? meet me backstage after the concert and I'll show you SOMETHING", and our personal favourite (author's note: we aren't perverts) "I will come FOR you."
Finally, the Taylor sign. Warning- this sign scared Louise's brothers, especially Jeremy's 20-year old girlfriend Kristen. Okay. Here goes... "I've got a Hanson tattoo... want me to show you?", "no, I am not a teenie, and no I will NOT pull down my pants to prove it", "One million jelly bellys for one night of passion with your brother", and the last (another personal favourite, which Tay did not do. What's wrong with that boy?)... "I paid a lot of money for this ticket, so you better take off more than your SHIRT."
After this wonderful time of color fun, we were reading this Hanson story. Louise's mum was telling us to get ready to go. We were going to tell her that we were busy reading this Hanson story, but then we remembered that we were going to go and ACTUALLY see Hanson, so we turned off the computer and got ready. (Sadly, we had to wait to see what happened to Zac's yellow docs until after the concert. But I think seeing Zac live made up for it. Think Tulsa 74132.) One more thing. Earlier, we were looking at the info about the venue, Lakewood. It said that you couldn't bring PREPARED food into the venue. We had this swell idea to bring raw meat to the concert, but we forgot it (also, Louise is a veggie.).
Then we got into the car (named Veruca). We still weren't excited that we were about to see Hanson. We were too busy dancing to the Braves/ Mets game (Braves won. 3-2). Don't ask how we danced to a baseball game. We were bored. Then little Veruca pulled into the parking lot (helped by Louise's mum.). Then we got out of the car (obviously) and walked to Lakewood. And now we will leave you in suspense to what happened next. (For you confused ones, the correct answer is a concert.)
To be continued... (and we WILL talk about the concert. We promise.)
