I would really like to get better about sharing more personal things on my blog, and for my first, I want to introduce you to one of my greatest loves: the band HANSON. Oh yes, MMMBop indeed! I was just 11 years old when they came out and they completely stole my heart from day one. My older brother, of course, hated them. He told me time and time again that it was “just a phase.” And sure, that was true for some of the other bands I loved back in my pre/early teens, but fifteen years later, this band is still number one to me. Two of my best friends in the world are crazy huge Hanson fans as well (in fact, they met eachother in the middle of Hanson hysteria at a grocery store wearing Hanson shirts & reading the magazines with Hanson on the cover! Been BFF’s ever since!), so I always have them by my side on our crazy Hanson adventures. Last October (they always tour in Florida around my birthday.. love that!) they played a few shows in Florida. We went to all of them of course, but one really stuck out to me. After 20+ times seeing them live (oh yes, we are those girls!), I finally had front row. AH! Hanson fans are kind of crazy and stand in line all day to get a good spot inside.. some of them even camp out! We have never camped, but once we showed up to a show at 4am and STILL ended up being at least three rows back. Yeeeeah. While finally being front row really isn’t a big deal, it was just nice to finally make it happen for my favorite band. It also happened that it’s the first time I brought my fancy schmancy camera into a show with me, so front row definitely had it’s advantages! I know that was a lot of babble, and trust me, I could go on and on and on…. but now I just want to share with you some of my favorite shots from that night. :)
