Chapter 8

"Oh, I definitely want that one!" I said happily. I was in heaven, we were lookign around at the merchandise stands and they had everyhting Hanson you could imagine. From bags to necklaces to jackets to t-shirts and pins. I peered into the glass case at a gorgeous necklace, it had a small silver Hanson symbol on a thing silver chain, I had to have it. "I'll take that one please;" I said to the man behind the stand. "12.95" he said taking the necklace out. I paid for the necklace while Stephanie bought a couple pins. Then in the end we both decide on t-shirts that we already didn't have. We put our stuff in our bags. We walked down to the floor part of the stadium to get our spots. People were already starting to fill the place. We went down to the security guard to show him our numbered wrist bands. Everyone with floor seats was sitting no the floor since the concert wouldn't start for another half hour. We found our way to the front and sat down where nubers were on the ground, we found our right seat numbers and sat down. Finally when the stadium was packed, a man came over a huge sound system and said; "Are you ready for....HANSON?!?" screams filled the stadium, I tryed my best to keep calm but I could already feel my eyes stating to tear. This was it, what I had ben waiting for for so long. "Here they are, Issac, Taylor and Zac.....HANSON!!!" The announcer yelled. They ran onto the stage. The arena was filled with screams. I was shaking and screaming. "Hey you guys!" Taylor yelled into the microphone. Zac picked up his own mic. "Man, can you guys pipe it down a bit?" He yelled. Everyone only screamed louder. They soon launched into "Where's the Love". The power of their voices live took me in awe. The concert a 90minute set. They did all the sonds of Middle of Nowhere, some old 50ties and 60ties, including Posion Ivy off of Boomerang and "Cried" They did all the songs except "I Will Come To You" and finally at the end of the concert they went into that. Everyone calmed down a bit and the screaming went down, but now the stadium was filled with cries. Then they thanked us for coming and for all pour support. Then they exited the stage.
