I don't think it's really a big deal.  One of the girls wanted to have the guys sign around her headphones tattoo at my M&G, and the guys had no problem crouching down and signing her leg.  In fact, Isaac signed her leg twice because he wasn't satisfied with how he signed her leg the first time.  She went and got the tattoo done a couple of days later, and it turned out great!

I have 3 Hanson related ones.

Yeah, last month it was in the $1.50/gallon range, but now we're at $1.89/gallon here in the Milwaukee area.

Oh, I had things planned to say to each of the guys when I had my M&G, but when they walked in the room, I blanked!  I dunno, but the M&G felt so formal and I had a hard time saying much at all, but the times I've talked to them by the bus or on a walk it hasn't been a very big deal...  I think it's because it's more laid back and whatnot.

You can find them on www.hansonmerchandise.net for all the membership kits that have Easter eggs (or at least hints for them).  Even being told flat out what they were, I couldn't get it to work though!  Maybe I'll have to try it on my new computer, since that was my old computer that I was having trouble with the passwords on.

Well, I felt like a total dork in front of Taylor at the Columbus walk this past fall...  They had the registration table set up just inside the lobby, so my friends and I were in there waiting to get up to the table to get our registration cards...  I kinda said out loud, "Which city are we in?" even though I knew where we were (my mind was just wandering), and Taylor answered me!  Ugh, if anyone should be confused or forgetful about which city they're in, it should be Hanson, not me!  I was only going to 6 shows in a row, vs. Hanson having how many cities on the last tour?  Yeah.  I'm special.  So, Isaac isn't the only one who people act like fools in front of.

Whoops, I guess it would actually be last year, since it IS 2009 now afterall lol.

Haha on the walk in Knoxville this year, Isaac came running past my friend Erin and me...  Only the two of us were all slap happy from lack of sleep, and talking about/pretending to act like these really nasty girls she had encountered in Cleveland a few nights before (they shoved up to the front row and proceeded to text message their friends saying that they "clock b****es")...  So we were joking around about how we "clock b****es" right as he ran by with the camera....  Not our finest moment!

I friend requested you Camilla (I think)!

Anyways...  This picture that I took is my all time favorite from any walk ever.  H.net doesn't like Facebook links, so I'll just put the link for you to copy/paste.

This one is probably my second favorite:

Anyways...  There's a bunch of crowd shots and shots of feet that you might like too.  I seriously have like 8-10 albums on my Facebook that have photos from Hanson concerts and Walks!

Hmm, let me take a stab at this here.  In no particular order:

1. Lay Me Down
2. Crazy Beautiful
3. Dying to Be Alive
4. Runaway Run
5. Believe
6. Where Did it Start?
7. Every Word I Say
8. The Ugly Truth
9. Rain (I'm going waaaaayyyyyyyyy back with this one!)
   
10. Watch Over Me

Bonus:  Great Divide

I presume you're on Facebook?  I have a few good ones on my Facebook that I'd love to share with you!

My very, very first memory of Hanson was hearing MMMBop at the roller rink... and from that moment on, I was hooked.  That same roller rink was the first place I heard Where's the Love.  I also remember getting my first teeny mag that had Hanson plastered all over it...  I was in love.  Haha and that first summer that Hanson was popular, my friends and I wanted to start our own band so we could be like Hanson, but we didn't even get as far as deciding who should play what.  It was pretty funny, because all we did was argue about it.

There was a MOE cd that had 5 songs from Boomerang/MMMBop.  It's the first one listed under "h.net kits" on www.hansonmerchandise.com.

My 13 year old sister is a young fan (but you already knew that Morgen lol).  She really had no choice in the matter though, because her and I shared a room, so she had no choice but to hear Hanson starting when she was about 2.  I went as far as teaching her to be able to name whichever Hanson brother I pointed to, and I'd put headphones on her and play MMMBop for her, and when I'd take the headphones off of her she'd start to cry and reach for them!

I really, really would love to hear Ever Lonely live again...  But Zac MUST play it with light up drumsticks!!!

See, like I said earlier, I really CAN'T pick just one favorite cover!

Oh man, Change in my Life is amazing too.  The first time I heard it (it was at my M&G show - I was front row dead center and the guys were standing a mere few feet in front of me), it nearly brought me to tears because it was so powerful and moving!

OMG I forgot about Soulshine!!!  <3 <3 <3

Oh goodness, I couldn't possibly choose just one favorite!  I really enjoyed watching Taylor wiggle his hips while they played Hole in my Life (swoon!), but then I Want to Take You Higher was super fun for ME to dance to.  I really enjoyed Oh! Darling as well because dang, can Zac belt it out when they play it!  Ugh, but Isaac singing lead on Use Me was also super swoon-worthy!  But then, hearing the rare-ish covers is amazing too (like Ain't No Sunshine) are always awesome!  I can definitely tell you though that my least favorite was Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz.  The song itself wasn't bad, it's just that it wasn't very exciting for me.

Ah, it seems you are right!  I know it used to be possible, because there was a time or two where I forgot to log in before looking at a thread on the public side, and I still had the text box and everything.  I just checked it out, and the text box is no longer there when not signed in.  So that really is a mystery as to how/who posted and doesn't have a username showing!  I know I've seen a couple of posts like that before... *scratches head*

Not to ruin it for you guys, but that post with no username was simply just posted by someone who forgot to or didn't log in.  It really could've been by anyone.

I dunno...  After seeing him in the fan club Christmas FUTY, he seems like he'd be a bit too bossy lol.  hahaha I really do <3 him though!

Interesting question!

I'd probably pick Zac because he can be so funny and laid back, yet he still will tell it like it is.

Haha tonight I was at the grocery store with my roommate and they played Little St Nick from Snowed In!  I did well restraining myself though, cuz I think it really bugs my roommate when I flip out when we hear Hanson out in public.

All I really wanna add to the unreleased music argument is this:  I'm sure Hanson doesn't intentionally "hide" music from us.  And why do they have so much unreleased stuff?  HELLO!  They wrote over 80 songs that IDJ turned down!  Those songs could make 6 or 7 standard length cd's!  There's no way that they could just finish them all and release them for sale all at once.  It seems pretty standard for most bands to take 2 or 3 years between albums, so that means if they started right now recording every one of those songs IDJ turned down, it'd take them at least 10 years to get everything perfected/recorded/released.

As far as Penny & Me, I've never really been a huge fan of the song myself.  I think it's a really good song, but it just never really grabbed me and got my attention.  That doesn't mean I won't sing along at the top of my lungs when I hear it live though lol.

Yes guys, there is hope!  I received my book today, and I just contacted Customer Service about it on Monday.  Yay!

Mine hasn't arrived yet, but I contacted customer service (I also pre ordered at a show) and they got back to me really quickly, apologized for the inconvenience, and said that they reshipped it!  So, if you haven't done so yet, contact customer service!

Also, to the person questioning whether or not non-fanclub members can order the book:  Yes, it is available to the public, but only can be ordered here on h.net.

No problem!

They are available for sale on www.takethewalk.net.

No, I don't like ketchup on my eggs.  That isn't as bad as some other things I've seen people put ketchup on, like mixing corn into it, or putting it on mashed potatoes.  Ick.  I really only like ketchup on fries and burgers.
