Kristen went to New Jersey and had a blast!
You wont believe this!!! (no, I didn't meet Hanson!)
I am from Massachusetts, and went to the MeadowLands in New Jersey to see Hanson and ADMIRAL TWIN at the Continental Airlines Arena!!! And, man do I have a story to tell you!
We left MA at 6:00am..and got to NJ at around 11. We stayed AT THE ARENA FROM 11:00 until the show!!! about 8 hours!!!! Of course we had my friends mom go out and get us food!!! We met some really cool people....begged to get backstage...you know...all the normal stuff a fan would do at a concert :o)
After about 4 and a half hours of tormenting security at the main entrance gate (we were the first people in line) we finally got in! Before, we asked them about cameras...they said that they wouldn't even check our bags, cause they felt bad for us!!! We had our cameras in our hands, and he let us get through!!! They were really nice!!! Well anywise.......... We got to our AWESOME seats....sec.4 row A...27th row from stage! Then asked a guy for V.I.P passes........he said go to a blue curtain hangin outside...then talk to the people in there! So we did!!! THEN we opened the curtain.....and in the next room was ADMIRAL TWIN EATING!!!! I screamed "HEY BRAD....REMEMBER US?? WHITMAN-HANSON HERSHEY GIRLS!!!!" He screamed back "YEAH....HI AGAIN!" We were so happy he remembered us! Then a security guard came out and said "YOU CANT KEEP THAT CURTAIN OPEN.....IF THEY KNOW YOU THEY WILL COME OUT AND TALK TO YOU" so......guess what happened??? Brad remembered that we didn't get MARK'S autograph yet.....so there was MARK walking back and forth w/ food :o) I go "HEY MARK....CAN YOU COME HERE???" He said "SURE"!!! Then I told him how we met the band at HERSHEY except for him cause he was at the Fry-Stand! He laughed...then took my ticket and asked where my seats were! He said that we had really good seats!!! He autographed my Hanson necklace thingy...and went to eat!!! THEN guess who came out??? My buddy JARROD!!!!!!!! I go "Hey JARROD....REMEMBER US?? FROM HERSHEY??" He goes "YA..." then I go "YA....MY SISTER HAS THE BIGGEST CRUSH ON YOU" so he turned to my sister and goes "Oh...HI What's YOUR NAME" my sis goes "AHHH...Ni......Ni......NICOLE" He took her hand and shook it w/ both of his hands:o) she was freaking out!!!! Then we showed him the pic. of him from Hershey and he said "WOH!!! THAT"S A PICTURE" we all laughed!!! By this time there was a HUGE crowd waiting to talk to Jarr!!! Then he took my ticket and said we had really good seats!!! (they had sumthin w/ my ticket!! WaHoOoO) Well, he had to go in a little so my sister wanted to get a pic. w/ him!!!! BUT there was a security guard RIGHT there...and she didn't want her camera taken away....so JARROD SAID "O.K AFTER THE SHOW WE'LL BE WALKING AROUND....LOOK FOR US AND WE'LL GET PICTURES!" oh yeah!!!! we were so happy!!! we were gonna get pics w/ them!!!! YiPpY!!!!
Then my sister handed Jarrod a stuffed HERSHEY KISS!!! (it was cute) Then I go "HEY JARROD.....I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD DO ME A FAVOR....I BOUGHT THIS STUFFED DOG W/ A HERSHEY KISS ON IT FOR HANSON......." then b-4 I could finish he goes "SURE! I'LL HAND IT TO HANSON FOR YOU!" he IS SUCH A SWEETHEART!!! I love him!!! Then I say "Hey JARROD....CO?ULD YOU DEDICATE A SONG TO US??? and he said "WELL USUALLY WE DON'T DO THINGS LIKE THAT.....BUT YA SURE!!!" (YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS) and he asked which song and all at the same time we go "DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he said SURE!!!!!!! (AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! WAHOOOO!!!!) We asked him if he could dedicate it to the "WHITMAN HANSON GIRLS"" but he said he'd try.... SO if you went to New Jersey to see them...and you heard this (if you didn't go...get a load of this) "AND OUR NEXT SONG IS A SPECIAL DEDICATION....FROM OUR C.D "UNLUCKY" THE SONG "DOWN" " can you BELIEVE it???? isn't that awesome!!! Well during the concert...BRAD waved to us! and Jarrod was looking over...and all that good stuff!!!! then Hanson came on!!! M me and Tay made EYE CONTACT sooo many times!!! it doesn't mean anything...I'm just happy!!!
At the end of the concert.....ADMIRAL TWIN had to leave early....BUT we are gonna try to meet them at Connecticut on the 30th!!!!
