As soon as my film was used, we packed everything onto two carts to carry our stuff to the bus where Hanson's rhodies threw everyone's bags into the storage compartment and we took a few more pictures of the place with regular cameras, and left the Hollywood Bowl.
As soon as we were set, and ready to go. So we all got onto the bus and sat at the little table in the small kitchen. The bus was soon, loaded and we pulled out of the driveway, towards home. As soon as the bus was on the freeway, we all began to talk. We talked about the concert, teh sound check, our stay with the guys, the Getty, and everything else that had happened. But somewhere in between Zac getting attacked by Gus, and the Mc Donald's incident, I was wrapped up in my own world. I began to write on a white sheet of paper in my blue binder. I wrote some thick words with my black magic marker. When I wass satisfied with my note, I took my tape out of my pencil bag and taped it to the window so the people on the road could see it. Then Tay, who was sitting next to me, noticed what I had done.
"What is that?" He asked looking closer at it as I put my binder on the floor behind the booth we were sitting at so it would be near my back pack, and out of the way.
"Oh, it's a sign for the drivers to see." I replied.
"Well what does it say?" Zac asked, entring our conversation. Then I noticed that Binkies and Ike were into our conversation too.
"Well, this is what Binkies and I always do whenever we're in a moving vechical." I started, Binkies smiled at me, she knew what I was talking about." You see, we always put this sign up in the windows, it says 'Honk If You Like Hanson' and people always honk, and we started to do like this candid camera thing. We always video tape the people who totally flip out and act really crazy. So it's kinda like a tradition, and I even have my camera right here!" I said leaning over the booth to get my video camera and put it on the table.
"But it's gonna be even more interesting since you're here! But I don't think that we have enough signs!" Binkies implied. They understood the game, and we all got to work making 5 more signs. After the signs were done, we put one on the back window of the bus, and the three for the other windows on the sides, since there were a lot of windows, we choose the ones farthest from each other.
Five minutes after we had put the signs up, this van full of girls and guys, pulled up on the side of the bus, the one that the table was against, and they just totally freaked out. There was honking, and screaming, and all sorts of crazy stuff. So not wanting to miss this oppertunity, I grabbed my camera and since the windows were tinted, we casually walked to the largest window near the door, and opened it. I started recording, and Ike, Tay, and Zac stuck their heads out of the window (it was big enough for at least 3 more people to have their heads out.) and they started waving. The whole van swirved a little and they all struggled to get their heads out. They were screaming and flipping out, it was absolute maddness on the freeway! Then, one of the girls got a camera out and began snapping pictures, and they waved some more.
Then Ike, tay, and Zac came back into the bus and grabbed another peice of paper and marker and wrote something. Then Zac taped it to the window next to them and Tay told me to come over and point the camera out the window and film the fans, and them. The girls teens in the fan flipped out even more as the bus and van came off the freeway and we followed back roads. Then we stopped at a red light and I rolled the camera. I shot the sign which said, "Smile, you're on the next Hanson Home Video!" and I got Hanson waving to them, this wasn't easy, I had to lean out of the bus, but there was no threat of danger because Binkies was holding my waist, and I only filmed them and the sign for a about a minute. Then I got the people, and we returned to the inside of the bus since we were going in an opposite direction as the fans. Then we returned to out booth seats and talked about the experiance we just had.
