Hanson @ the Warfield in San Francisco August 4th 2000

We arrived at The Warfield Theater in San Francisco at around 7:00 Friday morning (August 4th). There was already a line of people so we got in line and waited. Krystle's mom came with us so we got to wander around all day. We went around to the back to check things out and we saw two big blue buses and we were curious. So we hung out in front of them for a while and met some really cool Hanson fans. We met these twin girls that were very very nice. Then someone finally came out of the bus and it was Hanson's tour coordinator. We then decided to leave because Hanson wasn't there. The opening band for Hanson was a band called Neve. The drummer was walking around all day talking to fans so we decided to get a picture with him. We were then waiting around for Hanson to arrive and finally at 3 o'clock they came. Most fans were trapped behind a barricade that we luckily got past. A security guard was the only thing holding us back from Hanson but we got pictures of all three of them walking out of the bus. As Zac came out he gave a "woah" look, waved, and continued to walk. Then Isaac came out and waved to everyone. Then Taylor came out. He stopped, looked, smiled, and waved and then made his way into the theater. A couple more hours went by when a crowd of people surrounded Hanson's dad Walker. He was thanking people for coming to the show. Ashley was also there, video taping people. Kyleen stuck her tongue in the camera a couple times and Ashley videotaped Krystle's Hanson necklace cause we didn't want to be interviewed saying how much we loved Hanson and blah blah blah. Although he did interview Krystle's mom which was really embarrassing. She said, "I have one thing to say, I love Hanson and Taylor's fine, oh wait that was two things, sorry." As she said Taylor's fine, all the girls yelled "ewww" and Kyleen said, "Well he is." And Krystle's mom was embarrassed and that was that. At around five o'clock everyone was told to move their chairs and blankets and everything else off of the side walk and start forming the line. It got a little bit crazy and smooshy for Krystle's mom because Kyleen and Krystle had left to go watch the fillmore show inside a little shop and left her mom there in line. As we were watching the Fillmore show Kyleen spilt a guys beer all over her pants and his. After it ended, we got back in line and Krystle's mom went home. They let us in at about 7:30 we think and we ran to the floor (general admission). We started off with second row. It was really hot and smooshy but we didn't complain because we were going to get to see Hanson. Actually we enjoy being in big crowds; it makes it much more exciting. Kyleen decided that it was time to crowd surf, a hobby of both Kyleen and Krystle. A lot of people didn't like that but they still managed to hold her up for a while. When Krystle tried to crowd surf, the girl in front of her wouldn't let it happen. She complained to the security guard that Krystle was hurting her and so she didn't crowd surf. After getting down, Kyleen was stuck a couple rows back from Krystle but she made her way back to second row again. Hanson came out and it took us 2 or 3 songs to get to front row center. Then it was all beautiful from there. We have no idea the order of Hanson's songs that they sang but it was great. We touched them a lot throughout the concert. Zac waved a couple times. Zac also jumped off the stage quite a lot and stood right in front of us and shook our hands and everything. Taylor and Isaac also did the same thing. At one point in the concert Taylor played the drums and Zac sang Cheap Trick's "I want you to want me." That was really cool. Of course there was a lot of eye contact made because we were in the front row. One time when Isaac came in between the barricade and the stage, Krystle had a hold of his arm and as he walked away, his armed slipped through her hands and she got his ugly bracelet. That was pretty cool. Also, at one point during the concert, Taylor picked up a water bottle and asked the crowd, "Do you guys want some water," and Kyleen and Krystle noticed that it wasn't water. Taylor then splashed it on everyone and there was a little bit left in it and he looked at it and realized that it wasn't water. Isaac and Taylor were laughing and Taylor apologized and then he sprayed us with water. We couldn't figure out what it was, Krystle smelt her arm and she said it smelt like ginger and Kyleen decided to lick her arm. (On the appearance of Hanson on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno (8-7-00), they explained that it was a protein drink that they sprayed on the audience, beef soup.) It was cool to have been a part of it. Kyleen got Isaac's water bottle when he kicked it off of the stage. The security guard picked it up for her, that was nice of him. During the show, a girl ran up on stage, wrapped her legs around Taylor like a monkey and started kissing him. He was stepping back with his mouth closed and a disgusted look on his face. At least she tried. Apparently some girls asked them about the whole incident on KTLA (a Los Angeles radio station) and Hanson thought that she was just over zealous and Taylor said that she crossed the line. Anyway, the security guards by us were so nice. Throughout the entire concert, they gave anyone water that needed it. We were so hot and used so many bottles of water and splashed water all over Hanson and ourselves. We only sprayed Hanson when they were right in front of us. Our hair was both big fatty naps because the concert was so smooshed. When the concert was over, the security guard right by us told us that he had seen a lot of fans and that we were his favorites and that we rocked cause we were so crazy. He wasn't one of those perverted security guards that worked there, yet there was a lot of those. Gross. Then we said bye to our new favorite security guard and went outside and waited for Hanson to leave. Zac was the first to come into their bus. Then Isaac and Taylor. Fans were barricaded next to the bus but we didn't want to be a part of that so we were running in the street getting grabbed and yelled at by adults telling us that were gonna get hit by a car. We stood at the back window, just us, and Isaac opened the blinds. At first he didn't see us because he was only looking across the street at the fans but then he looked down and saw us and waved but looked surprised that we were standing right there with no one else. Then we saw commotion towards the front of the bus and we realized that Taylor was in the window so Kyleen took a picture of him and he waved. The bus started to move but it stopped a little bit and we ran in front of it. Isaac was eating something and we were jumping up and down head banging and Isaac pointed at us and said, "Your crazy," and did the little crazy sign next to his ear and smiled. We then went back to the back window where Isaac had been at first and all of a sudden Zac opened the blinds up and down, up and down and he waved to us. Their bus started moving and we ran with it. We were the only ones running with Zac waving at us as we ran. Then they were gone and that was all. It was awesome!
