YahooGuest1: Isaac; but that's what you need.

az8star asks: What made you deside not to play "Yearbook" and "lucy" on the Albertane Tour??

Blue__Rose14 asks: Hi, guys! When will you make a worldtour? -Therese, 14/f/Sweden
YahooGuest1: Isaac: The world tour....well, it'll probably start after the album comes out.

YahooGuest1: Zac: Yes. We all have girlfriends. No, just kidding.

KateJayne1 asks: You have such great (and strange!) senses of humour. Is that more like your mum or dad?!

YahooGuest1: Isaac: We can get carried away.

YahooGuest1: Zac: I don't know why. You can ask them.
YahooGuest1: Isaac: The similarities to us and them are only the fans.

Hersheyscandy asks: what do you guys like better your birthday or christmas?
YahooGuest1: Zac: How could you like your birthday more than Christmas unless you're turning 16 where you could possibly get a car. On Christmas you get multiple presents from everyone. On your birthday you get only one from each person.

CrystalLove_15 asks: Hey Hanson! Did you guys ever get hit with something a fan threw onstage?!! :-) Renee, Seattle, WA
YahooGuest1: Isaac: I'd like to take this moment to say please don't throw anything. I got clobbered with things before. You'd be surprised how much a Hershey's Kiss can hurt.
YahooGuest1: Taylor: Our manager got hit with a bag of jelly beans, and he thought he was bleeding.
YahooGuest1: Isaac: Please do not throw hard objects online.
YahooGuest1: Zac: Let's be more general. Don't throw things on stage.
YahooGuest1: Taylor: Whenever we sprayed the audience, over time, audience members hit us with guns too. But they couldn't compete with our guns.

POC45 asks: Do you guys do any sort of vocal exercises before performing? Mine never work, so if so, what are they? Elyse, Ohio

FlyGyrl106 asks: Do you ask celebrities you've met for their autographs or for photo with them?
YahooGuest1: Taylor: once in a while. It depends on situation. If I wouldn't want to be asked it, I don't.

More_Than_Anything_Angel asks: Do you guys write a lot of poetry, if so would you consider releasing a book of it, like Jewel did?
