Back to the Sound-Off Room
Leacy Meet's Hanson at the ASYM awards (May, 2001)
I have been a Hanson fan since 97 their music has not only helped me through
hard times, but inspired me to be a mucician as well. Something that i think
i had talent for since i was little but didn't realize i should try and
persue until Hanson came on the music scene. So, every since i started liking
them, i wanted to meet them and just let them know how much their music
means, to me and how great they really are. I never thought i would, after so
many dissapoinments in those past 4 years and after all the crazy things i
have done to try to.
Then finally just a few days ago one of my BIG dreams
came true aside from my dream of getting signed. I had purchased a ticket for
me to go see them at A.S.Y.M. a award show held for young muscians that they
were being honored at. I payed a hefty $250.00 dollars to go hoping that i
would get my big chance. When i got there, i went down to the stage on the
floor where all the celebs were gathered. Finally i saw Hanson go and sit at
their table, i saw a empty chair next to Zac and decided to sit next to him.
I looked at them in awe and watched their expressions on their angelic faces.
They were laughing because the mircrophone keep on turing off and the people
who were introducing were having problems. I wanted to say something to them
but thought it would be best not to because they were about to get up and
recieve their award, and i thought that would be rude. So i got up as they
left their seats and cheered them on, i must say i was very loud and excited
and they must of thought i was a freak lol. After they give their speech,
they left and i was very dissapointed because i didn't think they were going
to leave and i didn't even get to speak to them. So on the verge of tears i
went to the pay phone to call my mom and tell her to her to pick me up. Then
i heard that they were still there but in the vip room and decided not to
leave. I am very happy i didn't but unfortanly i was also told u had to be 21
or older to be in the vip room because all of the drinking.
So the whole
night i was trying to firgure out ways with my new friend Diane to get into
the vip room. Of course, nothing worked so i just sat down and began to
become very upset. When all of a sudden, this guy came up to me and asked
what was wrong. I told him my whole story and how i have been trying to meet
them for 4 years and how much it would mean to me if i did. He was going up
to the elevator to go to the vip room and with the nod of his head, motioned
me to follow him and my friend quitely followed behind. We got passed the
bodyguards with his help and i began to look for any site of any of Hanson.
Then i saw Zac standing next to the fireplace chatting with some guy i
decided not to go up to him, because he was talking so i looked for Ike or
Tay. Then without knowing i bumped into isaac not knowing he was right beside
me. The guy who helped me in told him "She adores you guys give her a kiss on
the check" We both began to laugh and i told him that was alright he didn't
have to. I then shook his hand and told him my name was Leacy and i how i
have wanted to meet them forever. I told him how much their music means to me
and how they deserve all the sucess and happiness in the world. He was very
grateful and thanked me alot he was very shy and a very good listener, lol
since i did most of the talking. I can't believe i acted so normal, i thought
i would freak then i gave him this letter i wrote for them that said
everything i have always wanted them to know in detail. He gladly took it and
then i asked to take a picture and said thank you and walked over to Tay. He
was talking to some girl who was very much flirting with him as he was
flirting back. I sat there and listened to their convo and waited for it to
end. I then shook his hand and he asked what my name was in a very flirty way
lol. I must say he was a very big flirt heh heh. I then told him how much
their music mean't to me and took a few pics with him. Like Isaac he was very
sweet but not so shy, he held me very close and i swear i probably blushed
but unfortuanly the pics with him didn't come out:( Well after the pics
were taken he had to leave i said goodbye to him and ike. I didn't really get
to talk to Zac but i said "Hi" to him and he didn't answer because all the
noise in the room. I just got to tell him nice jacket and waved goodbye then
they were gone. I will never forget that day for the rest of my life they
were so nice an down to earth and it was just amazing to me. I hope i get the
wonderful oppurtunity of meeting them again and hopefully they will read my
letter and send a letter to me. It happened so fast and i wanted so bad to
thank that guy but i couldn't find him. All and all my experience was much
worth the $250 i payed for and for all the people who think dreams never
come true and want to give up i am living proof they do, even though i still
have many more to accomplish.May Hanson be making music forever to ease my
soul. Never give up Hanson RULEZ.
peace love and rock n roll
Leacy:)
