Fox After Breakfast Review by Casey a.k.a Hippy8Chic@aol.com
My friends and I arrived at the "Fox After Breakfast" studio at around 8:30 am. We walked up to a police barrier that was on the left side of the "stage" (the sidewalk) that Hanson ws set up on! Ike, Tay, and Zac were making last minute adjustments and sound checks! There were several photographers next to us! Across the street, were about fifteen to twenty girls behind another police baricade! We stodd where we were and took pictures of the guys practicing! They looked AWESOME!! However, they seemed a little stressed out! I think something was wrong with the sound or something, and at one point Tay looked like he was about to cry!! I wanted to run up and hug him. I was so close I could have, but then I would have been kicked out, so I tried to control myself. My friend called out to Ike and he gave her the strangest look, it was hilarious! Then a crew member came up to us and said that we were standing in the press' area and if we didn't have a red sticker we had to go across the street! We begged and beeged and finally she went and me and my friends red stickers!!! Then the guys (Hanson) went into the studio. My friends and I went around the front on Tay's side! For a better view, of coursq! It was amazing! We were within touching distance, and there was NO baricade or anything like that!!!! We waited for about ten to twenty minutes and listened to instructions on like how and when to scream, as if we didn't know and like it wasn't a natural instinct! The guys came back down, in different clothes and were getting set up for a mini interview! After that was over, they began to play "MMMBop." It sounded GREAT! It was cool cause they made additions to it! We were screaming, yelling and at one point my friend told Tay to take his shirt off. He was smiling! A little later he said, "Who's hot?" We started screaming "YOU ARE!" Then he said, " I meant the temperature." And at another point Zac blew the crowd a kiss with his lips! It was adorable!! (I forgot which came first) Afterwards, there was a bit of a break and then the guys performed "Thinking of You." That was soooo exciting because I had never heard them sing it, live! All I've ever heard was "Madeline" and "MMMBop." And with Tay's voice changed and all...Do I even need to tell you, that the guys are AWESOME?!?! I took so many pictures! They came out REALLY good! They are mostly of Taylor, but that's because I was on his side and well I hate to say it even though I looooooooooooooooove them all, he's my favorite!!!! Anyway, that's not all!! So the guys went back into the studio to do an interview for the Channel 5 news! The crew was cleaning up the stage, and we went up to it! I wanted to bang on Tay's congas soooooo badly! They were so close, all I had to do was reach out my hand! I'm sure no one would have said anything, but I was still reluctant! Anyway, so my friend asked if we could have Zac's sticks! The crew member turned around and handed them to me!!! He said, "Were you the one who wanted the sticks?" Even though I did not ask for them directly, I took them, OF COURSE! And being a good friend, I gave one to my friend! I sort of regret it, but it's ok! Just in case you are wondering, it is a "Regal Tip", size 5A! That's the size I play with! (I am a drummer) Of course, I will NEVER play with it, I have it hanging on my wall in my room by my drum set!!!! Anyway, so that's still not all! As we were looking for our bus stop, there was a crowd of people by the side entrance of "Fox After Breakfast." They were waiting for Hanson! I figured they had already left, but just as we stood with the crowd, three blonde haired boys walked to their red van! And can you guess who they were? VERY GOOD! It was Hanson, and their mom, dad and sister! (I'm not sure about the other 2 kids) Me and my friends stood by the van and stared, and just as we were staring, Ike stuck his fingers through from behind the pulled down shade on the van and stuck half his head out!!! We were waving, and we were motioning for him to come to us, he was laughing!!! Then the car drove away!!! It was the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE! It was awesome! A DREAM COME TRUE!!! Thanks everybody for listening to my long review, but I had to share my TERRIFIC experience with everybody! If ya have any questions e-mail me! Buh bye!!
Z100's Jingle Ball '97 Review by Di186@aol.com
Yesterday,i went to Z100's Jingle Ball '97.hanson was there!!Here is my review:
They sang 7 songs:
Thinking of You
Where's the Love
A Minute Without You
Mmmbop
I Will Come to You
Merry Christmas Baby
Run Rudolph Run
There was a lot of screaming and singing. i (and many other people)brought signs.
In A minute without you, during the song,Zac does the drum thing like in the video at the beacon. I loved it.
In Mmmbop, Tay and Ike were claping and Tay were making "come on" moves and telling us to clap and sing.
In one of the songs, Hanson spread out and were singing and Zac turned to where me and myfriends sat!!! He was clapping his drumsticks together and looked sooo cute.
Tay was jumping during Where's the Love.
I loved Merry christmas Baby!!! On the screens in the place they showed a close-up of Tay playing.
Run Rodolph Run- Ike was running all over the stage,it was funny.
I Will Come To You- it was really nice. Everyone was swaying there hands and some people had flashlights ans were swaying them.it wa nice. My friend was crying.
At the concert, when Hanson was done,before they left the stage,Tay saw everyone upset that they were leaving. He said they will be tuoring soon!!!They will be back in NY for a full concert!!!Look's like I'll have another review!!
