Here's my pictures...Tay waved right at us and all of them were looking right at us!!!

We arrived at the Charlotte Knights 'Castle' stadium at about 5:30pm. We saw lots of fans crowded around this tunnel/garage so we decided that is where Hanson were going to come in with their van. We waited about 10 minutes and finally a huge burgundy and gold tour bus pulled up in the drive. Everyone screamed…the regular mass hysteria! As usual they made us wait about 15 minutes before they came out of the tour bus, we saw Walker get out about 5 minutes before so we knew it had to be them. Zac came out first and was carrying a black suitcase up the ramp to go inside (we have no idea what was in the suitcase). Tay came out second and walked straight around the bus and waved to exactly where we were standing! I felt like he had been spying on us when he was inside the bus through the tinted windows because he came straight to us and waved first!!! Ike came out last and walked straight up the ramp (I think he was in a bad mood yesterday, he wasn't too sociable). Someone threw two stuffed animals down and Tay being his sincere self went back and got them. He dropped something else as he was running in but didn't go and pick it up. I was so high up I didn't know what it was but it looked like a note or something from a fan. They went inside the tunnel so we went to the gate with our tickets and went into the stadium.

As soon as we walked to our seats behind home plate they started playing "Save Me" on the speakers, we went to our seats and Hanson were in the conference room right above us meeting some lucky fans, but we saw everything!!! Zac opened the window and yelled something crazy, being his normal self. Tay waved a lot and pressed his hands to the windows. One time a girl that was with me waved with both of her hands and Tay mocked her, so we had a kick out of that. We got Zac waving to our camera too. Ike only came to the window once but really didn't wave; I don't know what was the matter with him. Walker was up there too and we saw him trying to explain where to go on the field when they had to go out to sing the national anthem and Zac throw the first ceremonial pitch. This conference lasted about 20-30 minutes.

When we thought Hanson was gone out of the conference room my crowd went to the bathroom. We came back and not too long after that KISS 95.1(who were sponsoring the charity for the game) presented their new logo for the "Grins for Kids" charity, that a little girl had made. We got our places right at the entrance where Hanson were to come out, everyone was leaning over the bars waiting for them to come. Next the announcer said "Please welcome ZAC HANSON!!!" he came out…let me tell you he is so hot in person (they all are) there just aren't any words to describe it, he had this goofy grin on his face as he was going to the pitcher's mound to pitch. First he put up his hair (I think he set a record he put it up in like ½ second literally). One thing this boy can't do is throw a ball…HAHAHA. He threw it up really high and over the home base, but he had fun because he kept laughing along with the fans with the cutest grin ever. He went back inside under the stairs. I was at the beginning of the tunnel leaning over and Zac jumped and went "WAHHHHH" but didn't touch any hands (I was disappointed).

About 4 minutes later they all came out of the tunnel, cameras were flashing like crazy!!! Zac was the first out I think, then Ike, then Tay…Tay dropped his gold rimmed, dark lens sunglasses. They dropped and the lens fell out but Tay just picked them up like "well whatever I can get another pair". He tried touching some girls hands on the far right from me then went onto the field. Ike had one of those pitch whistles, like they did at the World Series. Ike started it off with "ohhh say can you see" then Zac "by the dawn's early light" (he went high on the first note then dropped low as Ike through the rest). Tay then sang " what so proudly we hail" and all in three part harmony "at the twilight's last gleaming and the rocket's red glare. Tay "the bombs bursting in air" then Ike "gave proof through the night" Zac "that our flag was still there"…at the end of "land of the freeee" Tay did his little yeahh ohhhhh ohhhhh he went high at the end and pushed his fist through the air, he was really breaking it down. It ended at Tay said "Thank you" I'm guessing because you couldn't hear from the girls at the front entrance screaming. Walker filmed the whole thing with his SONY camera so maybe you will get to see clips if they post any on Hanson.net or Hansonline.com. They sing so beautifully live, It was the most surreal moment in my life. They walked back into the entrance tunnel under the stairs…Ike tried touching a few hands, but Zac left so quickly as he came in before. Taylor was the sweetest out of the three, he waited for about 20 seconds jumping and touching as many hands as he could…. He was looking all around and I made eye contact with him (he has the most clearest, fascinating blue eyes EVER!!!!!) I was a half a foot away from him…I never did get to touch his hand though, he keep jumping on the opposite side =(

That was the last time we saw them but it was well worth the four hour trip to Charlotte from my little hometown in eastern NC!!! I can honestly say it was the best time of my life, now all I have to do is meet them and I'll have completed every goal dreamed possible. I still can't believe how close I was too them, it was absolutely insane!!! I've never forget it as long as I live. The video footage came out REALLY good too..the whole 13 minutes of it!!! The only bad thing I left out was that my camera ran outta film once Zac was done pitching (I guess I got confused and kept snapping). I was mad that I didn't take any of all of them but my friends have it and I had the best moment in my life to watch over and over again!!! Thank you Hanson for the best day of my life!!!!!

-Few things you notice when you see Hanson so close-

· They are better looking than you picture them in magazines and TV
· Tay's the sweetest out of the three to the fans
· Zac loves to tease you
· Zac has flyaways..which I thought were cute.
· I know this may sound cheesy but the way Zac takes his hair down from a ponytail is breath taking..he swings he hair out and it just falls so gracefully!! ::sigh::
· Walker is DA BOMB!!!
· Zac has a ghetto booty =X
.This lady was with them…I don't know who she was! I'll have to find a pic and ask it may have been their aunt or nanny…it wasn't Diana I don't think unless she has cut her hair.
· Taylor has the best eyes EVER, I swear you just get lost in them
· Ike looks the best when he wears light clothing on his gorgeous tan
· Ike's hair was slightly frizzy…it was cute though.
· The make the weirdest and funniest faces all the time.

-What they were wearing-
· Zac -A black t-shirt with white lettering that said (Legion Enterbreme) or something like that and a torch looking symbol…it's the black t-shirt in the last few Brazil pix on Hanson.net. Dark jeans..not too tight, but his butt was looking good up close =X and I think his shoes were red Converses. He had his hair down most of the time.
· Tay- A dark blue V-neck,button up shirt, brown velour pants ( he loves those things), a funky-cool belt and I think his shoes were those golden suede loafers he wears a lot.
· Ike- orang-ish striped button up shirt, jeans, and I think Doc Martens or some kind of loafer or boot.
