Jennifer's Denver Review
July 18, 1998

I just got back from the best concert ever! I'll tell you EVERYTHING! I didn't sleep at all on Friday. I took forever to get ready. At 3:30pm we left. That was the longest drive EVER! We stopped at McDonalds to get food, then went straight to Red Rocks. We took forever to get in and then of couse our mom's had go to the restrooms.

When they came out again, we went up to get to our seats, which were great but very far away. We walked down to go look at the Hanson stuff. Then we hear this girl yelling "Admiral twin girls" We looked and this girl ran to us and asked if we were the Admiral Twin girls with the orange/glitter sign. We showed her and she told us to follow her. We walked back up to where our moms were sitting. We went over to the shade because it was very hot (108'f) She said she was Dani, and we introduced ourselves to her. She said Mark Carr (bass player for Admiral Twin) had been looking for us since 3:00! She saw him back stage and started waving to him. He came over and we talked to him for awhile. He signed my official Hanson bio, cuz I didn't have anything else for him to sign. We gave him gifts we had bought for him, and them begged him to let us backstage. The problem is at Red Rocks there isn't a backstage. Its all just rocks. He said that he would take us backstage next time we saw them in concert though, and we could sit on the stage too! I was so happy! I went to get this toy I got at McDonalds and I was gonna show him the one I made of Hanson. (like a giga pet thing) I had all my Hanson cds in there just incase. He was amazed by how many I had! He asked where MMMBop and Boomerang were, and I said I didn't have them because I couldn't find them. He said that wasn't right and he'd buy them for me! He was looking at our sign we had made and he signed it too! I asked what songs he was playing. They still didn't know! We told him they had to sing Phone Call #27 a song we knew. He said that he would for us and he did!!! After we talked for awhile this lady said we were in her seats. Then she was like maybe not. Mark said we probably were in her seats. She told him he had better move them. Mark said bye and started walking away. The lady asked what kind of nerve we had and why we were sitting there. We told her we were just talkin to Mark and he was a Member of AT. She started running after him, he looked back and just kept going.

I bet she felt stupid! Dani had seats about 10 rows ahead of us and she asked if we wanted to sit with her. So we did. We went over to this ledge thing where you could see Hanson. They'd peak out every now and then. We were screaming all these stupid things, like what color are your sox! Tay stuck his leg out the door and started pulling his pants up. It was so funny! Their tour bus was right under us. It was purple and green! We went back to our seats and listened to the Ba ha boys (spelling?) They sang a song then Back to the Island. And did like 3 more songs. Admiral Twin came out. I only knew 4 of the 5 songs they played. We were dancing and they would wave at us. Dani taught us the little dance for the last song. We were going crazy ppl thought we were nucking futs! We saw Mackie Jessie Avie and their nanny in the sound room. All three kids had a black shirt with a peace sign on the back. Avie had blue jeans Jessie had a green tank top on at first but she went to the dressing room to change and blue jeans. Mac had the long tan shorts and his hair was long! When the first band was playing Mark went to Mac and pointed us out. We waved and he just sat there. We blew him kisses and he waved back. He then ran to Jessie Avie and their nanny to show us. It was so cute!!!

Hanson came on 20 mins after AT got off. They started with Give me some lovin. They played a few more songs then they stopped to switch the set. Ike had a white t-shirt with a brown jacket, tan pants black n white shoes green sox and dark green boxers. Tay had a tight black shirt with a blue and black shirt over it (which he took off) black pants and black shoes. I couldn't really see Zac but I was sure he had Black pant and a light colored shirt. I'll find out and tell you. When they switched sets we went to see if we could get up closer. 18th row was still far away! There was a girl crying because she broke her arm and she couldn't see Hanson. I gave her a hug to make her feel better. This guy told me that my seats weren't up there, and I had better gotten a seat up front or I would have to go back to my other seat. We went up front. 3rd row!!!!!!!!!! You could see them so well! We stayed there the rest of the show. They ALL looked at us a lot! We got on their video too! I had a camera (Bad bad bad me) and I was getting pictures of Tay spraying us with a water gun. He stopped looked at me and shook his head like I was doing something so bad! When Isaac was playing his guitar he was kinda looking in our way in lalaland, so we started to make faces at him and he just laughed! They played (not in order) Thinking of you, MMMBop, Weird, Speechless, Where's the Love, Look at you, I will come to you (for the girls who pushed their way in the first 5 rows!) , Minute without you (they said it was for the girls who had been waiting so long to see them) , Madeline (for all girls), With you in your dreams, Man from Milwaukee, River, Stories, Soldier, Sometimes, More then anything, Give me some lovin, Summer time blues and 2 other songs I didn't know. It was so awesome! They were throwing things off the stage and I got some toilet paper! yeah.... I also got hit by the water by Tay. He was right there when I was taking a pic! They really do look better in person!!!! Well that was my night. If you have any ? s please e-m me.
