I got there about 5:30, and I knew there were girls there that had been waiting since three (I later found out that some had been waiting since 11AM!). It was raining, not too hard fortunately. I was across the street with my dad from MTV Studios and I could see straight in. But of course Hanson wasn't there yet. I mean, they'd gotten there at 4 (There was this girl there who saw them go in, and touched Tay's arm--me and Lauren shook her hand!), but they weren't in sight yet. So we went across the street.

The first thing I did was look in the small crowd (Yes, small, because of the darn rain. Otherwise there probably would have been such a huge crowd that they'd close down the street.) to find Shana and Lauren, two of my best friends that I was meeting there. That didn't take too long, cuz Shana had told me what her sign looked like. So I found them, we screamed and said hi and stuff. I wasn't there 10 minutes before I saw Taylor. He came up to the window!!! I took a pic, of course. Then we saw Ike playing basketball! He was running in front of the window a few times with the ball and making slam dunks in the little hoop there. Looked like on the Fisher-price things, really, but I couldn't tell cuz we were so close. I was so freaked because this was the first time I'd ever seen Hanson in person! The three of them came in front of the window a few times. Zac had on his shirt from Arthur Ashe Kid's day, but that's kinda all I could tell. Tay had on a brown shirt and Ike had on a green one. Tay came to the window a few times, and I think he even pressed his face up against the glass!!! Ike did the same thing, and I have a pic of it!!! Oh, and then.....I saw Walker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was with his video camera, and he was taping the girls down there to his right, my left (I was on the far left of the crowd). He looked EXACTLY like he did in all the pics I've seen. But then the three of them came to the window at once!! We all screamed and I took a pic. I didn't even know until I got my pictures back that it was when they were showing the crowd in the beginning of the show. That's why you couldn't see me or my sign; I was taking a picture!

NEways, we didn't see them again for a while. I later found out it was because the stupid security people wouldn't let them come to window. What were we gonna do, really? Well, we were running back and forth from the interview side to where those country guys were performing. Some people were saying they were on one side, but we didn't know where the heck they were. We wound up missing when Zac came to the window. Then we found out that MTV was bringing a camera down to interview a few people. None of us, me, Shana, Lauren, or Lauren, the friend that was with them, could get close enough to be on TV. I did get a pic of the camera, for some reason. But when they're asking the guys about MOE and you hear the screams, listen closely and you'll hear the tail end of a shout. All you hear is "You Hanson!" It was "WE Love you Hanson!!" and it was screamed by me. After they came to the window with the camera we didn't see Hanson again, until they were on the performing side and Tay came to the window.
