Hey Everybody! What's up? This is my review of my awesome trip in Tulsa, OK. Enjoy!
Hey! My name is Jamie and I am 14 and from Michigan. My friend, Samantha,and her family were kind enough to invite me on their Tulsa trip. We were in Tulsa from July 23rd to July 29th. When we originally planned the trip we hadn't heard about the Hanson tour dates yet. When they announced the dates we were sooo excited that they would be in town the week that we planned to go to Tulsa! But we couldn't get tickets to the concert cause you had to be IN Tulsa IN line at the PAC (Performing Arts Center). So we were quite bummed, but we knew we would have an awesome time anyhow just because we would be in "Hansonville" LoL. When we arrived in Tulsa, if you are a Hanson fan, you get a cool feeling, ya know, that you are in the same town as Hanson! Lol. When we went to a Cracker Barrel the night we arrived I asked our waitress if she knew Hanson, and she said she did. She said that they are in town now and that we were sitting at the same table as Hanson did when they came to the restaurant. So that was cool. That day we also called the PAC to check for seats but the lady said that there were none available, but to keep checking back in case something opened up. At our hotel, we made friends with a lady who worked there. She said that a doctor that she knew lived behind Hanson. She tried to get us tickets but the doctor couldn't get any. We thank her so much for trying. She was such a nice lady. By that time, we thought that we had no chance of going to the concert. So we went to Stillwater and Oklahoma City and roamed around T-Town. We also went to Hanson's old house (they moved somewhere). The old house is now the MOE Headquarters. It was cool to go there. The day before the concert, Sam called the PAC. The lady said that they had opened up part of the orchestra section and had tickets available!!! We were soooooooo excited!! We couldn't believe it. It was like, a miracle! First to be in another state, then to be in Hanson's hometown, then to be at the first show of the tour! We were so lucky! That day we went out to Old Navy and got some new outfits for the concert. I got a motorcycles shirt that says " Girls on Fast Wheels". It reminded me of Zac and Taylor so I had to get it. lol. The next day we went to the Fan Fest 2000 at a local Tulsa park. There were over 200 girls(and guys there). We karaoked and played games, chatted with other fans and had a good time. I'd like to give a shout out and say hey to the chick who luuuved Ike and wouldn't let me touch him lol and to Kodiak and his friend who got Sam and I on his video camera and we gave our best "Hanson scream " lol. Hanson did not show up there but we still had a fun time there. We got to the PAC at like 6pm and there were already a bunch of girls there, including TV and radio stations. We got interviewed and got on TV a couple of times. It was really cool. We met some nice girls there from Prior, OK. Jessica, Crystal and another girl (I forgot your name!) If you are reading this, please email me!!! Anyways, we were trying to get backstage and we chatted alittle with this guy who looked important. But later at during the concert we found out that it was one of Hanson's back-up guitarists! (The one that doesn't wear the hat) He was a little grumpy but at least we can say that we met him! We went to the Meet 'N Greet section where girls got stickers to meet Hanson. There were like 30 or so there. Sam and I and other girls were there just to see if we could see Hanson. When each girl when through the Meet 'N Greet red curtain we could see glimpses of Hanson, I saw Ike and Tay and Sam saw Tay and Zac. We both saw baby Zoë, she's gotten soo big! So it was cool to be close to Hanson but they never came out from behind the curtain but that's ok. When we got to our seats we were in row T on the floor and let me tell you, they were AWESOME!! Like, 25 rows from the stage! We were soo lucky! Before the concert Mackey ran across the stage, it was cute. Everyone was so hyped up. I felt like a 10-year-old teenybopper but I guess that's what Hanson does to ya! Lol. The concert ROCKED!! It was so much better than the Albertane concerts! They really worked the stage, especially Tay ( with his tight black leather pants)! My favorite songs were: MMMBop (of course) In the City (I liked seeing Tay run in the leather pants) Minute w/o You( Tay said that he cant live a minute w/o us) Hand In Hand( one of my fave songs on TTA) This Time Around(good beat) If Only( I luuved Tay with the harmonica. very sexy lol) ok so I have lots fave songs! LoL. I thought that they really had grown with their instruments and have gotten much, much better. The concert rocked and we had such an awesome time! I luuv Tulsa! I want to live there when I get older! The guys looked great and it was so awesome to see them so much older with their new haircuts and I had a blast! I wont tell anymore about the concert- you have to go and see em yourself! But let me tell you, they sure do put on a great show, 2 hours of fun, jumping and seeing Taylor Hanson lol. I will be putting up my pics of Tulsa, hope they turn out come back soon! HANSON ROCKS!!!!! And so do the FANS!!! J.
