Okay, I'll tell you all about it!!!!! Okay, first what they were wearing. Ike was wearing brown pants (baggy of course) and a shirt
that was a redish-purple at the top and dark purple at the bottom
and it had a green stripe across it. Tay wore two different shirts (I'll
tell you why in a minute) First he had on a black sweater with a big blue strip across it with black jeans and then he wore a dark gray
sweater with black jeans and zac wore a yellow shirt with army
pants.
I got there at about 1:30 and their was already a bunch of people
there, but me and my sister found a way to get pretty close to the
front. Luckily, it wasn't cold at all!!!!!! Before the concert the
Dj's kept asking stupid questions like, who likes Ike and Tay when
Zac is nowhere to be found, he did that with all of them (Which I
thought was pretty mean) Everybody kept crowding the people at the
front and the police kept telling everyone to move back, but nobody
listened.
At 4:30 they came out for a sound check! I couldn't
believe I was so close! Everyone went crazy and started screaming (including myself!) They kept saying "This is just the sound check, so save your energy for the real concert" Actually it was just Ike and Tay saying that, Zac kept saying "1-2-3- SCREAM!" Of course everybody did! Then Taylor said "Zac, NO" So that people would stop screaming. They we're saying "this is supposed to be the behind the scenes stuff". They
know so much about music! During the sound check they we're using
all these music terms and stuff. One time during the sound check I swear
Taylor looked at me!!!!!! Cuz I was standing on my tippy toes (which
I did a lot of!) I had a huge grin on my face and I was waving at
Taylor (I had a perfect view of him!) He looked right at me and
smiled! He has the prettiest smile! One time Taylor said "I love you
guys too!" I went crazy and started screaming!
After the sound check
they left and we had to wait two hours before they came out again.
During those two hours they went to the Kansas City radio station
for an interview and of course we heard it cuz they had huge speakers
playing that radio station. They asked Taylor which he was more
afraid of, a car full of barbers or a car of girls? He said a car
full of barbers because they will cut your hair, the girls will just pull
it! Then they asked Ike what he got for Christmas, they asked him if
he got a Lambourgini or something. He said no that the only thing he
got was to ride on a jet. They asked Zac something but I forgot what
it was. Then they broadcasted live from the concert (Hanson could
hear this) and they had the whole crowd sing Happy birthday to
Isaac! I was singing as loud as I could!!!!!!!
When they came back out
Taylor was wearing a different shirt (That's why I said he wore two
things) First, they asked if anyone was cold and of course everyone
said no, then they asked where everyone was from. Then, they played
Madeline and Man from Milwaukee. I love Zac's megaphone part! Taylor started dancing!!!! It was hilarious, he was doing that thing wear
you move your knees back and forth!! (Do you know what I'm taalking
about?) Then they went to their instruments and Ike said "this song
is kinda special cuz..." And he could quite say what he was trying
to say, then Tay said "Ike a little confused, he doesn't know what he's
talking about" and Zac said "It's a minute without you". Taylor then
said "You know we couldn't live a minute without you" Everyone of
course started screaming! Then they played "Where's the love" Taylor
really got into this one!!!!!!!! He has hoping up and down behind
the keyboard!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I just got to get this out Taylor is
sooooooooo fine!!!!!!!!!) Okay, back to the concert, Then they asked
who had the middle of nowhere CD and everyone raised their hands.
Then they talked about 'Snowed In' and asked who already had it, and
everyone raised their hands (they were selling it up there) Then
they mentioned 'Tulsa, tokyo and the middle of nowhere'. Zac then said
something about the book and Taylor said "Okay Zac, quit trying to
promote stuff" One time during the concert (I don't remember when)
They stopped for a minute so Isaac could tune his guitar. When he
got finished he said "You know what I was doing? I was tuning" Everyone
screamed! Then Taylor said "Since this is the realese date of
'Snowed In' we're gonna sing a song from that. They then played 'Run Rudolph Run' (Which is my favorite song on Snowed In) And the parts that the say "Run rudolph run" they had us sing with them! I was yelling as
loud as I could! (I'm suprised my throat doesn't hurt today!) Then,
they said "This song is our current single" and they sang "I Will
come to you" It was so awesome!!!!!! Everyone was swaying back and
forth and singing! At the end, when they say "I will come to you"
Taylor pointed to the crowd, but they whole crowd pointed at them.
I pointed at tay! Then they said "This next song is pobably one you
will recognize" They then, played 'mmmbop'. That was the last song,
but they said "We want to thank you for coming all this way to see
us and for waiting for us" "We have one more thing" They sang 'mmmbop' acapalla, i keep saying this, but it was soooooo Awesome!!!!
After it was over the back of my legs hurt so bad!!! They still do!! It was
because I was either jumping up and down or standing on my tippy
toes the whole time!!!!! But that's not the end of it. When we were
walking to our car, some police cars came up behind us and my dad
said, "that's probably them, those are police escorts" I didn't
believe him, but then we saw their white van drive right by us!!!!!
I started sreaming, jumping up and down and waving!!!! I didn't want
to look like an obsessed fan, but it just came out! My sister was just smiling and waving. The only one we could really see was Zac
because the windows were tinted and he was looking right at us!
So that's what happened at the concert!
