~On Saturday, August 16th. Fellow Hanson.net member FansonGirlMags a.k.a. Maggie came and picked me up for the show. I finally met my first Hanson.net member.
On our way to Pontiac, we got lost and a few time and almost ended up in Canada lol, but we didn't.
We stopped at a gas station to get gas and directions, two guys and a girl commented on her car, that we were still painting, Hanson all over. They asked Maggie if they could write there company name on it she said yes. They were not Hanson fans. They asked Maggie to put the printed Hanson piture she had in the windsheild wipers. He got a picture of it, then asked if we wanted to get in a picture with them, and the car we said yes. So they took the picture.
Then we left and finally found Clutch Cargos. Then we went to find a hotel which was hard but we did manage to find one.
~On Sunday, August 17th, after we left the hotel we looked at Clutch Cargos and no one was there. So we went to get some ice for the cooler. Then went to Mcdonalds to get something to eat. Well I thought I saw the tour bus , however it wasn't someone asked if we were sisters we're not lol. When she was putting her spoon in her ice cream lid, Maggie's lid went flying off and some of the ice cream got on my shirt lol.
We went back to Clutch Cargos. We parked in the back and there was a "Salute To The Stars" going on. Almost everyone was taking pictures of her car.
When she went to get gas around 3:00pm or something like that we saw a line starting to form. So we went back after she got gas, got our stuff and put it in our place in line. People were nice and let other people know that was our spot. By 12:00am there was at least 30 people in line. I still will save people places in line after what someone said the time it was close to going in. No hard feelings girl.
~On, Monday, August 18th, the day of the concert most of us had trouble going to sleep. The security guards were looking after us at night time. I met a lot of cool fans and some not so cool. Thanks for the puppet show girls it made the camping out better. A police car went by playing the Halloween theme song on the PA and a few other songs too. Thank you Nick for being funny and keeping us all in a good mood.
We went down the road to a gas station to go to the bathroom until it went out of order. We went to the subway and it was closed because of the blackout the food was no good, however they were nice enough to let us in to go to the bathroom.
More people started arriving and camping out it was alot of fun.
When Hanson arrived we all went to the back of the building. Hanson didn't come out at first. Then after awhile they did. Isaac And Taylor came out the most. At one point some girl was talking to a security guard and accidently knocked over the barrier. Thats when either Isaac, Taylor or Zac came out, I'm not sure because all of the fans went running towards them, I stopped myself. I lost my spot for a few minutes where I was taking pictures because I was helping the security guard pick up the barrier. The girl I passed said this is what we talk about fans being rude. You were Just as rude you cutted too, however I didn't I just got my spot back.
After that Isaac sticked a video camera out the window to record us, the security guard had to get in the way because of rowdy fans. However Taylor came over to sign autographs and he was standing right in front of me. I forgot to get his autograph and I don't remember if I tried to touch him lol, because I had to glue my feet down so the fans wouldn't push me over the barrier which almost happened a couple of times. So I wouldn't hurt Taylor.
We got a few more pictures. Then Micah came over asking if anyone had meet n greets, a few said yes. Then I was thinking of myself at first. However I remembered Charlotte standing next to me and I said wait she don't have one and she came all the way from England to see Hanson, I think she deserves a meet n greet, a few others agreed. He told her to meet him at some door at 6:30pm. At first she wasn't sure I told her he said that but she didn't beleive me at first until he went to the door and went looking for her.
Well we went to get back in line and alot of fans who just arrived or haven't been there that long tried to cut in front of everyone who has been there since Sunday at 1:00pm the earliest and was camping out you bet your toes we got our spots back. NOW thats what I am talking about FANS being RUDE.
~We finally got into the concert and it was so crowded like you were packed like sardines, it was hot and sweaty, some poor girl passed out. The water was 3 dollars a bottle, I think Hanson had the security guards pass out bottles of water for us, then they told the fans to share it.
I didn't care to much for Tietur, no offence. I just liked the part when he asked which Hanson was hotter.
Hanson came out and we had fun. Some of the taller fans or some of the other fans were nice and let the shorter people in front of them and some fans weren't nice. There dad came through the crowd to video tape the show. However, I had a good spot two times until the same security guard went through the crowd I lost my spot and ended up by Maggie. The girl in front of me was mad because I kept getting too close to her and she didn't want her cell phone to get broke. So I said, "Sorry no I can't because people behind me keep pushing me," and on purpose the girl in front of me pushed me back but didn't succeed. Next time stay in the back or leave your cell phone at home, plus hun you knew it was gonna be crowded when it's G.A..
Anyway, they were talking through Zac's solo a little then it quited down. But it seemed like all through Isaac's solo people were talking, which pissed me off. Besides that it was a wonderful show. Thank you Hanson for the Wonderful performance

~After the show I went to get my purse, then to buy my merchandise. I bought mine from Jessica, I got the t-shirt,tanktop and two black posters, however the Cd sold out so i have to wait longer for it now until my sister get a credit card. I went outside to get the gifts Maggie and I made for Hanson, Maggie wasn't feeling good. So I am standing between the tour bus and the trailer trying to get someone to take them. Someone told me just to throw them but we worked to hard on them for that, finally after the 7th or 8th time, bless Jessica's heart she said she would give them to them. I thanked her.
After a little bit I went back to the car and saw Isaac standing outside and a bunch of fans, so I told Maggie, she said, "go ahead," then I got my camera and autograph things. The one for me and the notebook for Kate. When I got up there Isaac was asking the fans to please stop taking pictures because the flashes were hurting his eyes, so a fan took one on purpose. I asked him please could I get an autograph for my friend Kate who was supposed to come to the concert, but her father died on the 15th and I was trying to cheer her up so he signed it. Then he said he would be right back and ran and got on the tour bus to get Taylor's and Zac's too. I so was not expecting that, I asked Isaac for an autograph for myself and asked if I could please get a picture with him, I explained that he was the first Hanson I met and that I was in Hanson.net and moe and he said sure, Then he said, "she is the only person I am taking a pitcure with," I bet I pissed alot of fans off but thank you very much to the fan who took our picture. It was also taken fast but I am glad because my eyes were really blood shot. After the picture was taken I said woho and Isaac said now you know what I mean.
So I went back to the car and I thought of my neice, Annie who is 5 and has been a fan since my sister was pregnant for her. But I didn't want to take her for her own safety. I explained that to Isaac as well, he wasn't supose to give out any more autographs however he did an autograph for her. I thanked Isaac. Isaac is such a sweetheart, thanks hun:) This makes up for not being able to get the cd lol. I just hope they liked Maggies and my gift.
Then I got back in the car and we left, and went to a one hour photo place and got our pictures double printed and split each other's pitcures. It was a wonderful experince and I wouldn't change it for anything. Thank you so much Maggie for picking me up I wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for you.
