The Hanson concert

It was an amazing day! Here are some of the awesome highlights!!

#5 We were a part of ‘The Walk’ which was one of the best parts of the day. Along with many other crazy fans and Hanson, we took the mile long walk (barefoot) around downtown Nashville to fight/raise awareness of poverty and AIDS in Africa. It was a really cool thing to be a part of.


#4 When Hanson walked out of the venue to begin The Walk, Isaac waved to Jenna and I, and stood right in front of us with his huge million dollar smile. Not to mention that he did take a picture of us!!


#3 When we sat down by the river during The Walk for Taylor to talk to us about the importance of what we were doing, and the impact we can have on the less fortunate, Zac was making some serious eyes at Jenna. He stared at her in interest for the majority of our time there by the river.

#4 After taking part in the 1mile walk, Hanson donates a dollar on behalf of each person who walked. We were able to choose what cause we wanted our dollar to be put toward. There were a couple of people standing with Taylor behind a table, and I asked one woman working there for clarification on something, and she asked someone next to her, who asked Taylor. And Taylor said ‘Hold up’ and leaned over to me and explained it. WOO HOO. That takes the cake yall! ‘Hold up girl, HOLD UP’ as Jenna and I like to say!

#5 We totally were chillin' by ourselves down by the river before the show and saw Ike and Zac getting off their bus.


#6 OK, and the next best highlight of the night.. Jenna and I attended a Hanson show in Seattle where we were basically in a mosh pit type setting where everyone was pushing and shoving to get there way to the front. and girls were passing out and stuff... (and this was at the LOWEST point of their career so the fans should be even MORE into it now that their fan base has grown, right?) WONDERFUL. That is just our cup of tea.. we’re ready to drop some bows on anyone to get front and center to our boys. Well these lukewarm Nashville fans were NOT having it. They were getting mad at us for jumping, screaming and pushing. Ok, the pushing I MIGHT understand. But hey guys.. were at a concert the jumping and screaming is TOTALLY acceptable. Taylor was loving that we were jumping and he was totally smiling at us. In this big crowd we were maybe 7 people from the front but that was not good enough. Although we tried to bully our way closer, these people were NOT having it. We decided to bail on that and make our way to the balcony..when we left Taylor totally lost his smile.. but then he finally spotted us again, up in the balcony dancing our butt’s off. He totally smiled, stared at us forever and then waved! and he kept waving at us all night... sigh... that was amazing. Now how’s that you grumpy floor fans!?
