This will be one of the longest reviews u've ever read...lol!

K, my name is Hailee and I went to the last tour date at Reunion Arena in Dallas, TX! I'm from Dallas but I had just recently moved to of alllll the places in the world..Amarillo, TX! So it alllll started when I was talking to Lexie (the other webpage owner) and she goes,"HANSON GOING TO DALLAS HAL!!!" And I go,"Really? R u sure..becuz I've been told this 5 different times this summer and none have been true! Where did u hear this?" And she said,"I can't tell u...just believe me!" Well I didn't wanna get all excited becuz it could be another rumor! So then my good friend Janice told me..and I started to get alittle jumpy. I called the Hanson Hotline and Ike mentioned..DALLAS, TX!!! I dropped the phone..not even caring about the rest of the message and started screaming! My mom ran in the room! "MOM THEY'RE GOING TO DALLAS!!!!" "Good...but remember..u don't live in Dallas any more!" I stopped screaming. "BUT MOM..u said that if they EVER wen to Dallas u'd take me!" "Well...that was before we took u to Tulsa,"she replied. Well..I started crying and got in trouble for crying and throughing a fit and arguing! I continued to beg throughout the week until my mom said,"Itz FINE with me...but u need to ask u're dad..and hope u can get plane tickets..even better..tickets to the concert!" I thought the offer...was aesome..just the fact..I had to get my dad's permission!????? So when he got home..I said,"Hey dad....Hanson's going to Dallas" and he goes "Good for them..why don't u tell them to come to Amarillo!?" And I said,"Well..this place isn't even half the size of any of the cities they've been to..and the only time they came here was for that freak Oprah!" My mom talked to him and while I was doing my homework in my room my dad called me into the living room. "U really wanna go to this concert?"he asked. "YES..MY LIFE WOULD BE PERFECT!" "Well....if u promise to make up any school work..vacuum the whole house..and wash the dishes and clean u're room....and promise to be VERY careful...and nto fight with any Hanson fans *sarcastic*..then u can go" (I had a fight with this FREAKY girl at a HAnson concert once!)Anywayz I jumped and go,"YES YSE YES YES YES YES....THANK U..I LUV U MAAAAN!" The next day I called my Best friend in Dallas and told her I could come. My dad got some plane tickets for me on Southwest.

1 week later*

Lindsay my best friend and all my other good friends were up at the ticket master in Dallas..while I was at home on the net trying to get tickets! So right when the tickets went on sale I clicked the little icon button. Then I remembered I forgot to ask my mom for the credit card #. So I started freaking out becuz she was gone. Then the phone rang I jumped up and answered it. "Hello?" "HAILEE...WE JUST GOT 8 TICKETS FOR THE 3RD ROW..SECTION 12,"Lindsay screamed. "Omigosh....I-I...omigosh..seriously..AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH,"I started going crazy. My brother was like,"SHUT UP....WHATZ U'RE PROBLEM!?!?" I talked to Lindsay for alittle while..getting all the plane and tickets arranged. The phone call endded in,"C-YA @ THE AIRPORT!" I was SOOOO happy.

about 2 weeks later*

I ran out of school...EXTREMELY happy I finished all my homework @ school. I ran out of the school to my car. "HI MOM,"I screamed. I changed clothes and did my make-up and hair. We got to the airport and I got all my bags and my sign that took me 4 days to make. An hour later I was getting on the plane. "Be careful..and have fun..sit near the front so u can get off first!,"my mom said hugging me. "Bye mom,"I said. I sat in the very front and no one else sat by me. So I worked on my scrapbook for Hanson and Zac's b-day card. An hour later we landed in Dallas. My stomach felt WEIRD! The guy behind me had seen what I was making and listening to and helped me get my bags down. Then he said,"U better hurry!" "Thank u,"I replied. I walked out of the plane. Then I saw Lindsay and her mom. We hugged. I was supposed to call my mom when I got there. I was now shaking and couldn't find my phone card. Lindsay grabbed my bag and found my phone card. I called my mom and talked really fast and she couldn't stop laughing becuz I sounded like,"H-Hi...MOM...w-w-e HAVE TO G-GO NOW,..BY-BYE luv ya'.." Lindsay and I ran to the car..I couldn't go another step without hitting her in the head with my huge sign. She laughed. All the way in the car we were stuck in traffic. But it was good traffic becuz..when I say this itz true..THEY WERE ALL HANSON FANS....I stuck two signs up that said. "Honk if u <3 HANSON" A MILLION OF PEOPLE STARTED HONKING. This one group of girls started screaming HANSON in their car and waving at us!!!! We waved backing laughing. We saw the Reunion Arena sign and started jumping up and down. The line was REALLY bad to get a praking spot..so we ran out of the car across the street to the building. We stopped my the merchandise stand. They were out of everything we wanted. Then a lady came up to us and said,"Hi, I'm with The Dallas Morning News..and I luv u're sign..can I take a picture?" I was like,"SURE!" She took a lot of pictures and Lindsay and I went inside. We bought some glowing green sticks. They were selling ear plugs too!LoL! We didn't need them though. We went to the other merchandise stand and there was this girl that satarted crying and she goes,"NO NOT THIS SHIRT..THE OTHER ONE.." They handed her the other one and she goes,"EWWWW..NO I WANT THE OTHER ONE!" Then her mom took her aside and goes,"YOUNG LADY IF U DON'T STRAIGHTEN UP..WE'RE GONNA LEAVE!" She stop crying RIGHT THEN! LoL! We heard screams and ran the other way. We got to the doors near our section and a security guy was there and asked me for my ticket and i was like, "Hold on" I up zip my backpack and panic to see..my ticket is not there!!!! *this would be where the death sentence music comes on* LoL! The guard goes,"Oh no! Guess u can't go see Hanson...dang!!!" And I stopped what I was doin' and go,"Oh no no no no! If u knew what I went through today! Omigosh! Look, i flew here..." Lindsay interupts with ,"She moved away a couple months ago and flew back down JUST for this!" And he just looked at me weird! And so I go,"Look, there ain't NO way I'm leavin' here not seein' this concert! I know my ticket is in my bag!" Lindsay starts to help me dig and we find it! I had it to the security guy. And in my head the whole time I'm thinkin',"right back at ya bud!" Anyway, we go down some stairs...we still can't see anything, we just hear screamin'. Then we hit another security guard. "Can I pleez see your tickets!?" "WHAT? I just put it back in my backpack...how many more of u guys do i have to go through," I freaked!? "One or two..just depends," he replied. So we had over our tickets and go. I kept my ticket out for the next guy and finally we see alllll the fans and the stage! *fiiiiinnnnallllyyy* And can u believe done of the security people checked my backpack ONCE!? *gee i'm glad i didn't bring a bomb in there..lol*So Lindsay and I make our way to the THIRD...yes count it...THIRD row and find our seats on the right side. *very nice view* hehe! I see all my old friends! We all scream when we see eachother *like a reunion...oh...how sweet it was!!* Everyone looks like us like idiots..oh well...anyway we're all sittin' together except for Becca...she HAD to get 3rd row LEFT side becuz she has this "thing" for Ike. *don't get her started* So then we all get settled in our seats. We sat there and wondered why everyone was screaming eearlier and now they quit....then we found out that they were screaming for no apparent reason besides the obvious...lol. So then Leah and Tracey want me to write stuff on their faces....*i warn them this could lead to a break-out..lol* So I write stuff on their faces....not mine becuz honestly i don't like havin' someone's name besides my own written on my forehead...lol. So Lindsay's mom bought us both Tour Guides and Lindsay and I sit down to gaze at the pages. Then I got out my scrapbook for Hanson and Zac's B-day Card I was makin'. I was gettin' all the fans possible to sign both. I start just goin' to people and askin' them to sign! It was awesome to see how many fans signed! I mean I just went to a small section of girls and like I had a huge gruop surge over....i was like...WOW..look now I'm more Ms. Popular!!! N*E*way I'll spare u any more boring details ....so we'll skip alll the way to when Admiral Twin walks on stage! ummm.....two words...loud screaming....I mean not to say I wasn't involved...lol! I think itz awesome to hear that first roar for a band...itz cool!! And so Admiral Twin plays an dI thought they were awesome and to anyone that sat IN THEIR CHAIRS during them....should be arrested. *which wouldv'e been cool becuz more than HALF of the people infront of me...were sittin'..haha* They're great! So of course I had a great view and I was jumpin' wavin' havin' a great ol' time and then I dunno which one but on of the band members waves at me and Lindsay, so that was awesome!!!! N*E*Way, then they mention Hanson...and ohhhhh.....someone pull out the ear plugs!lol! *Lindsay's mom bought some* haha! Soon they exit the stage and the stage crew start settin' up for HAnson. One of them started playin' Zac's drums and it made everyone start screaming becuz they thgouht it was Zac...*the curtian was down* But I could see behind bucuz I was far enough to the right! I was like what a loser...he was all laughin and stuff! ...neway about 30 minutes later the intro to Gimme Some Lovin' started! Oh thatz the coolest feelin' ever..*once again the "first roar" that I like sounded..hehe* The curtain drops and there is HANSON! Awesome sight! It was GRRRRRRREEEEEEATTT! I got my sign I worked on for 3 days straight taken away..lol...but turns out tay throws his waterbottle water on my sign...lol...*i still have the sign..2 years later* At one point I remember Zac picking up his water gun a going back and forth across the stage spraying water as everyone in the closeer rows. So when he came near infront of me I stnad on my chair and scream like an idiot...haha...I got a mouth full of water...*awesome* My mascara probably speared and my hair was goin' to bewavy now...but it was totally worth it and that water was nice and cold!!!! They sang some more songs..duh. And then they did a little more water spraying and stuff. And when Zac was sittin' back down at his drums Ike goes,"OH ZAAAAC?" And zac goes,"What!?!?!" Then Ike runs at him full speed with a water gun...Zac jumps up grabbin his water gun and Ike chases him around and around the drum set. Ike soaked him! lol Then when Zac was walkin back to his drums Tay runs over and pours water over his head...haha! Poor Zac. hehe! They sang some more....lol...Hanson sing!? Never! N*E*way then they go off stage acting like itz all over. And some people started leavin'...but then I start thinking,"Hey wait...we didn't hear Man from Milwaukee!!!!!" And so I stay put and so did my friends. Then Hanson comes over the speaker and goes," Do you want us back?" err..somethin' like that. And then the people ethat started leaving fantically run back to their seats and the screams are deafining. So they come back out and sing Man from Milwaukee and the back-up was dressed up as aliens! hehe! And then they sing some more..lol..WOW! N*E*way the concert ends and Tay walks up and down shakin hands...and Zac has his water gun and Ike is throwin' out guitar pics. At the time I didn't play guitar and now I wish I really would have ran even harder tryin' get a pic! But then Tay comes by and grabs mine and Lindsay's hand! Lindsay bein' the Tay fanatic she was at the time i think just aobut fainted. And Then Zac handed his drumstix to the gurl next to me and so I ask her if I could look at it..she let me..*i luv u whoever u are* lol and so that was cool. Then they...leave...*sob*. So we go outside and get to the car..and guess what!?!?!?! The car battery is DEAD..GONE..ADIOS..NEVER TO RETURN....itz like 11:30 and I have to fly home early for school the next morning. So Lindsay and I decide to walk over where all the other fans were and wait to see if we could see Hanson's van pull out. We talk to some girls and they sat there and begged us for HAnson's real addy since we knew it. And we were liked,"Uhh..no..." I mean this girl told me that she would die if she didn't have it and i was like,"I hope not..but i guess so!" LoL! We waited forever and then decide to go back to the car where NO ONE was nice enough to help. Until this one lady stopped...she was so nice! And she jumped the batterry. So while we're waitin' A whole lotta screams start and then these gurls start running our direction and the I turn around cuz I hear a car comin' and itz a white van. I was like OMIGOSH! HELP US!!! lol! They drove right behind the car. N*E*Way that was my LONG night and if u're even readin' still..I'm so proud of u! U deserve a medal...*deserve..no get one* lol..sorry! *just incase u're wondering we fianlly left to venue at 12:30...a.m.!
