I don't have a smart phone--I have a Samsung flip phone that opens up and has a keyboard that sounds very much like yours. It gets extremely crappy internet, but it's enough to use facebook and twitter with no problem. Do you get internet at all on your current phone? If so, it should work. I don't have verizon, though.

I had a great time. Maybe I'm a pessimist but I never expected Hanson to be at any of the extra events, and we were definitely never told to expect them at any of the events aside from the concert. I can't decide if people would have calmed down if they had done group pictures and people didn't think "this is my only chance!" every time they saw Hanson somewhere, or if they would have been mobbed no matter what. After seeing some reactions, I think it would have happened anyway.

I guess I went into it with lower expectations than a lot of people, but I had a blast. I particularly enjoyed the movie night more than I thought I would. They had staff taking pictures at a lot of things, so I hope we'll get to see some shots from the events!
