Rock the Casbah! (Hanson Tour Report)
Wow. I was so going to do this yesterday, but my sister wanted me to wait until we got back from my moms, and I didn't get back until 8 and I was so so tired. But, I called in to work today (work sounded totally not fun) and have all the time in the world (7 hours?), so here we go!
(Before we start, my sister Veronica = fredonica.)
Veronica and myself woke up around 8 something, which sucked since I had only gone to bed at 3 and was quite buzzed when I did so. Though, nothing cures a hangover like Hanson, since it was gone when we got in the car. Which is awesome, since 2004 was my year for going-to-hanson-concerts-about-to-die. Seriously, I stood in line for 4 hours in 98 degree weather sick as a dog, puking into a bucket I brought with. Hmm, maybe I am too obsessed.
Anywho, we had to stop at our house for a little bit, but got back on the road sometime around 11 and headed for the cities. The drive up was pretty uneventful, since we had to take our car which doesn't even have a radio so no Hanson jamming :( (Upside to the Beretta? No one in their right mind would even bother it, much less break into it.) Though the guy at Caribou Coffee compared every drink I asked about to it's Starbucks counterpart. That was kind of weird.
We finally got to downtown, and I felt weird driving by where the Quest use to be, since it's always been synonymous with Hanson for me. Then I tried to take a right onto 6th St, but somehow ended up on the light-rail tracks and proceeded to drive on the sidewalk right in front of the financial plaza (thank god it was Sunday) and got myself going in the right direction again :) I swear, I'm usually not a dumb driver, so it's Hansons fault. Getting me all excited.
We eventually make it to the City Center parking garage and head in. We still have a few hours to kill before the walk, so we head to GameWorks, only to find it is closed from 11 to 3 due to a private party. NOOOOOOOO!!!!! We were so disappointed. We figured it was too late to go see a movie, and we were both kind of hungry, so we headed into the Hard Rock Cafe for the very first time. (It seemed fitting to eat there.) But first, we were distracted by all the cool displays they had going on:
Veronica relates very well to Prince, since they are both tiny eccentric black men.
Princes guitar. Sweetness.
Michael Jacksons shirt. It sparkled.
Random wall of fame.
I took this picture mainly for Drake Bell. I figured he would appreciate it.
We eventually made our way into the restaurant and stood around for 15 minutes waiting for someone to notice us so we could sit. Seriously, we were very disappointed with the Hard Rock. The food was okay and over-priced, and the service was lackluster, except for our waitress. She was awesome. (She said we were the life of our little section, which was comprised of Hanson fans. I think they sat us together on purpose.) It was pretty cool how we could see First Ave right from our table, so I don't regret going there at all.
Hanson smoothie!
It's Mmmtastic!
We tried to get all the other fans to talk to us, but they just ignored us for the most part. Lame :( Veronica noticed a Starbucks right next to the restaurant, so we left and filled up on coffee goodness. While there, we try to get H.net on her phone, but only the main page would work. WTF Hanson? So what else is there to do besides head over to the venue? Nothing. We get over there, and there is only about 150 people over there, all crammed against one wall. (Which I couldn't figure out why, I just assumed they were lined up by the side entrance. Turns out there were heaters LOL.) So Vero and I just hang out by the front doors, trying to get people to hang out and talk to us, but we are apparently not cool enough for other fans. What the hell? After standing outside for 30 minutes, Veronica was ready to punch Taylor Hanson:
She was really really cold, and the little hand heaters they gave us did not help.
I wasn't really cold though, since I rock like that. Also, impending Hanson appearance is an excellent source of heat. Or, you know, it could have been the long johns I was wearing.
We could hear them doing a minor sound check the whole time we stood outside, so I was hanging by the front doors trying to see if I could catch a glimpse of the boys jamming. All the sudden, Taylor walks around the corner inside and I was like, 'Whoa, so not expecting that'. Of course, everyone else is crowding the heaters I didn't know existed, so I was the only one to notice him and he disappeared. Three seconds later he came back around and I waved at him and he gave me a really strange look and waved back like he was trying to figure out who I was. Just as Zac came up behind him, a fan randomly walking past me notices who I'm looking at and fucking screams in my ear and all the sudden Vero and I are squished against the doors and pushed to the back of the crowd. Grr. It wasn't a very nice start to the walk for us. (Neither was the cold, but that was soon forgotten by everyone.) So the boys make their way outside and Taylor does his pre-walk speech which I zoned out during...I was too busy being pushed into a snowbank while trying to take pictures.
Then we started the walk! We crossed the street and headed into the skyway. For those of you out there who are not familiar with Minneapolis, downtown is connected by skyways so that if you didn't want to go outside at all, you wouldn't have to. It's pretty bad-ass, except when you try to fit 300 Hanson fans into them. The steps going up were pretty crazy. It also sounded like a stampede of elephants trying to get up there. I'm sure they heard us in Starbucks and we're wondering what the hell was going on. Zac was hanging out in the back, and without even realizing it I pushed Veronica into him. Which she was really bummed out about, since Zac didn't even acknowledge the fact that all the sudden he had this little person flying into his side and nearly knocking him over. She would've appreciated a "What the hell?", Zac. Even a "Get the fuck away from me" would've of been nice. And that was about as close we got to Zac for the rest of the walk. Sure, we hung out by him, but we were constantly pushed out of the way by other fans, whether on accident or not. This angered me, and I took it out on Zac by yelling at him to get off the phone:
Which therefore brought the wrath of about 3 other fans onto myself. I don't care if he's talking to your friend, I was the one who got my ass up to the cities and is standing in front of Zac, so I wanna talk to him. Really all they said was, "He's talking to our friend! Just wait!" which then I replied, "I don't care. He should be talking to me instead." Zac found that amusing, but not enough to hang up and actually talk to me so I moved on. We went on a hunt for Taylor, but he could not be found. AT ALL. He probably snuck into the Starbucks that we had passed and was enjoying refueling himself. Veronica and I then noticed that the guy who was walking by himself turned out to be Isaac. I approached him and asked how he was doing. This was our little conversation:
ME: "Hi Isaac. How are you today?"
ISAAC: "I'm good. How are you?"
ME: "Pretty good...just walking."
ISAAC: "Yeah, me too."
ME: "I noticed that. Thanks for doing the walk in the skyway."
ISAAC: "No problem. It was really cold out there."
ME: "It's not that cold."
ISAAC: "Yeah, to you. You're use to it."
ME: "True. Can I take a picture with you?"
ISAAC: "Sure!"
OBVIOUSLY IT WAS THE GREATEST CONVERSATION OF MY LIFE. LOL we're both pretty lame.
BUT HEY I GOT THIS:
So I'm not complaining. Then Veronica actually spoke up and asked for a picture and Isaac told her to hold on and proceeded to practically run away. My theory is that he's afraid of people under 5'3". Poor Vero :( But hey, he's got to be an asshole to someone, right? Otherwise it's not a true Hanson experience. The Zac crowd caught up with us again, and somehow I ended up directly behind Zac. Unfortunately, he doesn't have eyes in the back of his head as I had hoped.
Eyeless. I guess that rumor of him being a radioactive mutant was false.
No matter how many times I talked to the back of his head, he completely ignored me. It was sad. He then proceeded to stop RIGHT in front of me so he could tie his shoe.
Zac, when you bend over in front of me, you're just asking to have your picture taken.
I seriously came really close to toppling over on him. Give a girl some warning dude. Then someone asked him if he felt weird having people take pictures of him tying his shoe, which he replied something along the lines that he ties his shoes so amazingly that he feels it's almost necessary that people take pictures. I told him he should be a professional and he smiled at me the kind of smile you give to people who are really stupid but you're too nice to say anything. Sorry for trying to join in on the joke Zac Hanson. I felt like a loser :( And then came the ESCALATOR OF DOOM. I've never really admitted this to anyone besides my family, but I'm kind of scared of escalators. I still use them, but I freeze in place and concentrate way too hard on getting off them sum'bitches. So now you put me on one with 70 other people pushing? I ALMOST HAD A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN. I was crying you guys. It was so embarrassing and scary and completely ruined any happy feeling I had at that moment. I survived though, and decided to take a picture of some fans:
Overall, the walk was really crowded and un-enjoyable for us little nice people who allow ourselves to be pushed into walls since it's better than the alternative of being crushed or possibly punched. Here's a video of walking through the skyway (this is not mine):
Then all the sudden, the walk is over. Huh? Taylor gave his little speech, which I tended to make sarcastic comments back to him. Thankfully he couldn't hear me. Nothing mean though! Just little jokes, like when he said "We're all good at something here" and I replied "I'm pretty good at Guitar Hero" or "...who doesn't give a shit about the person next to you" which was false since I do give a shit about Veronica.
Here's a vid of the speech (again, not mine):
I was more in the back...I lose at Hanson fandomness!
Then we headed to the club, where I managed to almost fall flat on my face after trying to climb over a snowbank. Everyone was all, "OMG YOU OKAY?!?" and I was so so tempted to say, "Just like a cat, I always end up on all fours!" but I didn't need to advertise the fact that I'm a huge dork even more.
Well, we still had another speech waiting for us when we got in front of the club, but Zac told Taylor to shut up because our hot cocoa was getting cold. Damn straight!
Apparently Isaac is a totally Tay!girl.
"Dude, what's your problem?" (This is Taylor being told he talks too much...)
We then got in and got our little stamps and hot cocoa that was kind of cold but oh well it was HANSON COCOA. The guys were standing right there in the entrance doing an interview so we stood right behind them on the other side of the doors for a little bit. I made a really creepy face and stared into the camera of their buddy. I hope that goes on iTunes.
Vero and Zac share a moment.
GameWorks time!
House of the Dead 3 = BEST ARCADE GAME EVER
Veronica won a tiara with her mad skeeball skillz.
Then we went into the Hopscotch Grill (in GameWorks) where our awesome server Will hooked us up with a free meal. (Saying something about the wait, but who cares? IT WAS FREE!) Then it was off to the show!
So um, we got in right away with the super secret middle line that only us smart people knew about (or just people walking by) and headed up to the table. It was in an AMAZING PERFECT spot. How do I always manage to get these awesome views? I OBVIOUSLY ROCK. Seriously, LOL @ you guys who wait in line all day for front row. I still get better seats and NEVER get in line. Not that I'm bragging or anything. :)
We still had a whole bunch of time left to kill, so Veronica bought me the Hanson playing cards and we proceeded to play Go Fish and Crazy 8's until the opening act came out. And can I just say: The Abdomen were amazing! Though strangely deja vu for me, since Rilo Kileys opening act was a girl on a small drumset with two guys. LOL it's a winning formula. And the best part? They're local! I can't wait to see them again.
Then we were back to playing cards. I also got a drink, but it lasted me all night so that was cool. ($6.75 for a tequila sunrise? You got to be fucking joking me.) AND THEN HANSON CAME ON (and only 25 minutes late...that's like, on-time for them!)

Is that an amazing set list OR WHAT?!? Seriously, I was in shock. I did step out during Hey, since I was all "Meh, Underneath music" and got to watch a fight between a guy and all the security guards. Totally worth it.
Overall, the concert was AMAZING AND MADE UP FOR EVERYTHING HANSON HAS PUT ME THROUGH THE PAST $ MONTHS. I'm sure by now you guys know all the funny cool stuff that went on at the show, so I'll leave you with my pictures and two videos.
My pics turned out badly, which sucks but I still hope they are worth posting. If not, you can always go look at my pictures from my last Hanson concert to make up for it.
Watching weird cartoons.
The Abdomen!
Taylor is obviously a Mandroid.
Potty break!
I'd say something along the lines of "Please don't steal these" but I really could care less what you do with them. Mock them, love them, whatever. Just don't claim you took these...why would you want to anyway?
And here are some videos that I actually took:
This is Mmmbop, with them having us sing a long. Sorry about the shakiness, I was kind of dancing. And as for my terrible singing? I apologize for that as well.
And the infamous Fuzzy Gorilla serenade.
So that's about it kiddos. I hope I did an alright job on this, I've drank a lot of coffee today so my brain = haywired.
Myself and the Hanson bus! (It's there, trust me.)
EDIT::I just wanted to say that Sheryl a.k.a zhonghua2000 is amazing and awesome because she bought me two extra months of paid account and I'm not even sure why! Thanks!
And also, Veronica had this to say about the walk today:
"I realized today that we completely missed out on the best shoplifting experience of our lives. Think about it...we're walking through Saks Fifth Ave, we see a shirt we like, grab it, and keep walking. The alarms beep when we go through the door, but is a salesperson going to come after us? HELL NO.
I could have done my Xmas shopping on the Walk without spending a dime! DAMNIT!!!"
