On July 31st My friend and I went to the Hanson concert at new world music theater in Tinley Park! My mom took us and we left at 2:30. We were so excited in the car! It took an hour and a half to get there. There were not that many people there 3 and a half hours before, but there was a good amount. We parked and went up to the gates and stuff. Then we heard screaming and saw all these girls running. So of course we followed. We ran to a gate and we saw Hanson get out of their tour bus. The only person I saw was Taylor! Oh, yeah I also think that I saw Mackie! Then we went over to the B 96 van and we got a picture taken that is going to be sent to Hanson! Then it was about 35 minutes after we got there and we thought ... lets go and see if we can get front row tickets! We were thinking yeah right, front row, like that is possible. Well, anyway we went up to the box office and asked the lady if she had any front row tickets and she said, " How many do you need?". We then said, "2." So she said, "Let me check." Then she said a few seconds later yes I have 2 for front row center! My friend and I just looked at eachother then started screaming so loud! Everyone was staring at us! So we paid the lady 30 dollars for each ticket and took the tickets! We were screaming our heads off. We were in awe! People came up to us and were like did you get front row or something, and we were like YES! It was so cool! Then we started running to find my mom and we saw her kinda far away and started screaming and yelling for her. She was like What??? We said WE GOT FRONT ROW TICKETS! She made us try to sell the other tickets but we couldn't find anyone to buy them so we just gave them away when we got inside. When they started letting us in we were so excited! We went to our seats. We were so amazed! The seats were in front!The only thing between us and Hanson was a 3 foot board and secutiry guards! We were 1 seat off of complete center! We talked to the girls next to us and they got the tickets the same way as us.

Finally a lot later Admiral Twin came out. They were like 5 feet away from us. The only thing between us was a small little wooden board! There were security guards in it and the camera guy! We got on video like a million times! Then we saw Mr. Hanson taping us!

Finally the curtain was pulled down and we saw Hanson everyone screamed even louder than before. It was louder than the B Bash last yr.! They were 5 FEET AWAY! It was so awesome! They played and stuff and talked a little. Then Tay dumped his water bottle on US! Then they played and Zac squirted the front with a super soaker! Later on Zac came right in front of me and squirted me for like 10 seconds! It was cool! My friend just stood there staring at him! It was my favorite part! Throughout the whole concert Zac would look at us, and so would Tay and Ike, but not as much as Zac! At one point it seemed like Zac was just staring at my friend and I! We dont know if he was, but we waved to him and he smiled and just sang loud! It was awesome! Zac later gave out his drumsticks to someout about 4 seats away. He just tossed them out into the front! He also gave the top of his drum to a girl at the far end of the stage! When they left everyone started screaming Hanson and they came back, as everyone knew they would! They played like 2 more songs and left!

When they left my friend and I left. We didnt wait for the bus because we were closer than anyone would get to them! We were so dehydrated! We didnt have anything to drink or eat through out the whole thing! Our feet hurt so bad from the jumping. So did my hands from claping! I am still hearing buzzing in my ears! I should have worn ear plugs! I definitly recommend earplugs! Later when we got home we saw our hands and arms on the news! We were so excited! It still hasnt sunk in yet that we were in front row, but I am sure it will! It was the best day of my life! I am not just saying that, we were truly lucky! Oh yeah, we were in Kid News in the Chicago Tribune!! We look pretty bad. It is a close up, but it is cool! Well I had an awesome time!
