I have an extra ticket I'm looking to either exchange for the $30 price, or to go with someone.  I cannot find anyone interested in going. If you're interested, I can meet you in a public place in Portland, or nearby.  I wouldn't mind making a friend who's a hanson fan, but I'd love for someone to use this ticket.

Thanks!

Okay, so I was watching SETB yesterday, and I realized something about potential hit songs.  Now I could be wayyyyyyy off, but via my job, I'm forced to listen to the most mainstream radio stations in LA, and I think I realized something.

Well, most of the slosh in my ears, day in and out, seems to be incredibly "LITERAL" with a catchy, sometimes annoying beat.  (Hey, when you're in a song you're in it, and when you're not, you're not.)  I know Hanson is a "fan of vague" (or maybe only Taylor), but it seems that their songs, which were much more straight forward + a catchy chorus, did better than those without these ingredients.  PLUS the "gate keepers" of radio let them in, and actually gave them an unbiased chance!

Yeah, it's superficial but it just came to mind.  And I've been listening to their new material, it seems MUCH more straightforward than what they've been doing in the past.  The messages are coming from people who are living in the moment, and it seems they're now giving us plain/simple descriptions about what they mean in these songs.

Anyone think much of this???
