Sophie meets Hanson again at their London hotel
June 18, 1998

Bronagh & I arrived at the Hotel to c Hanson yet again for their last day in the country. *sob sob* We thought we'd try also ONE more time to get a picture.

So we got to the hotel around 1pm cos we heard Hanson was leaving for the airport around that time to go to Montreal for their next concert date. Luckily we got there at the right time we saw their bus and realized Hanson was still there, yayness!! We unfortunately saw some other fans there.. so this totally ruined our chances of getting to talk to Ike, Taylor & Zac properly.. so the pic idea blew out the window... DOH!! So anyways 1st we saw Matt going into the hotel and I shouted, Matt! And he turned round & said to me hey how ya doin'!? I was like I'm fine. ;o) Then we saw Diana come out thru the revolving door with Mackie and Avery; they looked so cute. Avie & mackie were smiling at us, Diana was too.. and I walked closer to them, and then it was funny, Mackie was acting nuts! He was jumping up and down making growling sounds (hehe) then Avie was going to him ssssh! And then later on she was making funny noises too, it was so cute Diana was just smiling at them... We were all waving at them & stuff. Their minder was with Diana also.. Then they walked passed all of us.. and trekked to the shops or somewhere. I don't know where they went...

Then after a while they came back.. and they just went back into the hotel lobby and they waited for the rest of the clan most likely. The cutest thing happened then. Mackie was looking out the glass window at us and playing with a plastic sword (it was so adorable) and he was like pulling weird faces and slitting his neck and like pointing at us as in 'ur gonna die' hehe--it was sooo cute, LUV HIM!!

So after all that Scott and Jason (the back up musicians) walked out to put their baggage into the bus and me and Bro were like 'hey' they said hey back..Then I said to Bronagh I'm gonna hug Jason (he's really FINE!) and she was like yea cool.. So I walked up to Jason with my arms open saying "Jason.." at the same time, then I really thought he weren't gonna hug me back cos he was like extending his right hand ready to shake mine, but I didn't give up so I just went up to him and he gave me a big daddy hug! It was so cool. It was really tight too.. Luv ya jason! Then I said have a nice trip, bye! Then I walked back and then Bronagh came up behind me and hugged Jason too!! Then she almost got run over by a taxi after that cos we were in the driveway of the hotel..:oÞ

Then a few mins after Scott & Jason went back in. Then we saw Jason coming back out holding Zoe; it was soo sweet. And finally Hanson came with them and Walker and their [edited] bodyguard. Me and Bronagh had bought 3 english chocolate bars for Isaac, tay & Zac cos we heard them in the radio and they said they really liked English chocolate. It was a like a goodbye pressie. And we also got them a a good-bye card with snoopy on the front, it wuz cool. :O) So they came out and said hi to us then of course the other crazed fans like went all nuts and started swarming arond them. Me and Bro just kinda stayed back for a bit and I took a couple of pictures of them signing autographs for the other girls. I was carrying the choc bars & the card.. So I tried to walk round a give it to Taylor cos he was closest and then suddenly I see a similar fat arm in front of me, and the dude goes: Stay on this side o' me!! I was like daaamn! What have I done, like I was going to try and kill Tay or sumthin', I was just walking naturally to give him our presents.. so I stayed there, out of no choice of mine... Then Tay walked round the bodyguard and stood in front of me and Bronagh and this was the best, the 1st thing he said to us wuz: "Sorry we couldn't take a picture last night guys..." he apologized to us so he obviously felt bad about the day b4! That was when we tried SO hard to get one but it didn't happen. I just said "its ok" and Bro goes: don't worry we'll get u next time. (hehe)

Then I gave Taylor the chocolates and the card. I kinda had to stuff it in his hands cos he was holding another bag or sumthin'. He was like ahh thanx. Then they were walking along out of the driveway to the bus and as this happened Bro quickly ushered Tay to shake her hand and he lent forward and did then I shook his hand and said byeee have a nice trip. Then while we were standing there their minder walked passed with Avery and she was smiling at us, and the minder said to me, "bye sophie." I said bye! Then the cutest thing happened... Avery says too: "bye sophie!" I was like ahhh bye! I was so suprised, bless 'er! :o) They waved at us and went into the bus.

Then as they all walked on still crowded by the stoopid other girls.. I said "bye Isaac," he was like c ya later and I said bye zac (with barely no voice) and he said bye.. he looked kinda tired. So we followed them down to the bus on the road and we watched them get in, Tay waved at us (me & Bro) again and said bye and I put my thumb up and said 'luv ya babe' in a stoopid voice, I dunno if he heard or not. :o) While everyone was getting in the bus Mackie was looking out the window. It was so cute he was kinda fascinated by us! And he was just watching & waving he is just too cute for words man. Then he was being pulled away from the window by a Hanson and he was fighting too look at us, they were trying to draw the curtains in the van and mackie was pulling the curtain out of the way to see us, bless 'im!! Then one last time the curtain was pulled and we gave Mackie one last wav b4 that. As the bus turned around Tay was looking back at me & Bro out of the window cos the other girls were at the other end still trying to c Mackie.. and Tay waved just at us.. It was awesome! Then they headed off for the airport... that was our last meeting with the guys until late this yr or 1999! How will we survive? :**( I miss 'em sooo much still.
