Hanson Hotel: Gaby's Seattle Review

Gaby's Seattle Review
July 21, 1998

Ok, first of all I live in Vancouver which is about 3 hours away from Seattle. On my way to the Arena there was this rude girl who had a sign that said "hanson suxs" so when we passed her I stuck my tongue out at her..she was shocked! We got to the Key Arena at exactly the nick of time just when they were letting ppl in. Everyone was surrounding the souvenier stand so I couldn't buy anything....yet. I got to my seats which were section 214 row 1 which, yes, was a balcony but man did I have a good view! While we were waiting we could see backstage 'cause the curtain was abit open so we could see. I saw Tay and Zac walk by several times. Once Zac came out with a orange thing in his mouth and that made our whole section scream!!!!!!!! At 7:59pm Admiral Twin came out and they rocked!!!!!!! Then there was a half an hour wait for Hanson once again I went to the souvenier stand but it was packed. In the stadium ppl screamed if a light moved or a curtain. Some ppl in the front held up signs like "Tay is Sexy", "Gimme some Hanson", and "Hanson rocks" that mades us scream for Hanson even more. Sometimes everyone screamed "Hanson, Hanson, Hanson". Then at 9pm Hanson came out!!!!!! I couldn't even hear the first song there was so much screaming. I can't remember the order of the songs but that's ok cause you guys already probably have the playlist memorized. So it's no bummer.

*HIGHLIGHTS*

*They had two sets, the 3 car garage set and the normal set.

*Tay sprayed Zac on the butt and the back of the head with a super soaker.

*Tay made everyone jump, wave, sway and scream.

*Tay went up this girl and put the mike right up to her mouth.

*Tay took over the drums for like 2 min.

*Ike jumped around, ran around and shared mike with Tay.

*Zac sprayed the front with super soaker but they got him back by throwing water at him and spraying silly string.

*Oh YES! Hanson said that they were filming the tour video here and recording the Live album!!! cool!!!

*Me and the crowd seemed to favor Zac 'cause we screamed extra loud when he sung.

*The crowd liked "Stories" a lot.

*There were many guys there. I liked that alot, 'cause they don't care what other boys say like "Hanson looks like girls" and "they're gay". Those guys like the music.

Wow, this was like the best day of my life and I will never forget it!
