True Hanson Encounters


I am now putting the newer contributions at the top of the page. Don't blame me if these sound fake. I am not a judge. I just put the ones marked "true" on this page. But if it is too outrageous I don't.

I live in Tulsa, OK. I bugged my mom for a long time to drive me by the Hanson house. I had a friend spend the night one night and my mom finally said she would drive us by for a look. On the way there I was so nervous and I didn't know why. We had gotten to their street and saw a group of people in the middle of the road. We came closer and I saw Taylor, Issac, and a bunch of adults. Taylor smiled at our car. Me and my friend screamed SO LOUD!!! At the end of the block there was a house that looked very familiar. It turned out to be the house of a girl who goes to my school and my mom was friends with her mom. I freaked out.

Last month a new movie theater opened. It is a hot spot in Tulsa. My 30 year old friend went with her boyfriend and guess who was to walk in but Taylor, Isaac, and Zac. She said they had at least ten body guards and the boys were sitting in their own row. Five minutes before the movie got out, the body guards had to form a line and Hanson got up and left.

I know a lot of people who know Hanson. Like this one girl named Cechet who is friends with by sister was asked out by Isaac but she said no. Cechet and this guy named Ben (Ben was in my sister's class in 7th and 8th grade, and Ben often visits my church; his sister was my sister's best friend, and his mom was my sister's science teacher) got to go with Hanson to New York when they sang at that tennis thing. My friend from school has a cousin who plays backup drums for Hanson. His name is Jamie, and he also teaches Zac how to play the drums. (He was in the background when they sang the national anthem.) Jamarc, another cousin of the same friend, hangs out with Hanson all the time. He calls them his little brothers. Jamarc goes to my church and lives in the neighborhood across from mine. Jamarc is really popular in Europe because he has his own band called Raze.

On Friday Dec. 12, 1997, my friends were going to the movies and I was in the other car. As they were riding down the highway in New Jersey they saw a Hanson bumpersticker and they say they saw Hanson in the car. I don't know if this is true. That's what they told me.

Okay, so this isn't as cool as some of the Hanson stories on your webpage, but in England we hardly get to see anything of the gorgeous brothers Hanson unless it is in magazines.
I'll get to the point and tell you my story. My friend's dad works on a very cool music show over here and of course Hanson, being the coolest, were on it. Anyway, he managed to get me Taylor's autograph. Hopefully next time they go on the show I will get all of their autographs. Okay, so that was pretty crap but it is my claim to fame!

The only time Hanson came to Chicago, for the B-96 Halloween bash, I was waiting for them to come out this door and then I heard these people talking, and they said they were Hanson's aunt and uncle! I got their autographs and their names are Glen and Linda!

Rach

When Hanson visited Australia in August this year, my sister and a bunch of our really close friends made the trek out to Southland Shopping Centre to see them perform live. By the time we got there, there were about 25,000 screaming, crying fans squashed into the car park. Anyways, we all got separated in the crowd and there was myself (Rach) and two of my mates, Victoria and Daniela all by ourselves. We were standing around screaming, singing, and chanting when a huge bus pulled in next to where we were standing. Of course, I was only joking when I said, "Maybe that's Hanson"...imagine our shock, surprise, and sheer excitement when a gorgeous blond head appeared at the back window!! As the bus pulled away, Zac Hanson's waving hand and beautiful smile were the only things we could see!
And, to make the day even better, we met up with our other friend, Stephanie, whose parents are involved in the management of the mall. She had gotten to meet our boys and has the most incredibly beautiful pictures of Ike, Tay, and Zac!

I was given a trip to Tulsa for my birthday and I was very excited. I went with my best friend and we got to go by Hanson's house. We put on rollarblades a few streets back and went riding up and down the street. Well, Taylor was playing basketball in the driveway and we were freaking out! He waved at us and let us play some ball with him. We took off our skates and played. It was so much fun. I bet he doesn't remember me, but I had so much fun!
[I can't say I really believe this story, but I can't prove it wrong, either.]

Autumn

I went to Canada's Wonderland with a friend and my sister on the 16th of August. We didn't have the best seats, but we could see pretty good. It was awesome!! Taylor was flirting with the crowd like crazy! Before we went into the place where they would be, we went on the Minebuster (like the best roller coaster!) and saw a truck that said YTV (the hosts of the show) pull behind the gates. It could have been them. I found out just about a week ago that they went on the Minebuster after the show!! I could have met them! I was so frustrated! I know the day will come, and God make it come soon! :)

Andrea

This is a dream Andrea had, and I (Danae) am going to summarize it and tell it in third person because it is very long...
Andrea was outside listening to the radio, rollarblading, and shooting hoops all at the same time, with her cordless phone in her pocket. The radio guy said something about concerts and Hanson. She waited until he came back on and said, "Be the tenth caller and win Hanson tickets for the New Haven Coliseum." She tried to call, but it took forever to get through, so when she did get through, she figured it was too late and requested "Where's the Love?" The radio guy told her she was the tenth caller. She found out that the tickets were front row seats and she could enter to win a backstage pass. Then she was so excited she couldn't rollarblade and fell up the stairs and such. The dream skipped to where she had won a backstage pass and was on her way to the concert. She had a typical fan reaction to Hanson on stage (breathlessness, hyperactivity, near-fainting spells, etc.) She had three roses and three carnations (two of which she had colored blue and green through a science experiment) that she threw onstage. Hanson noticed them and she blushed. When she went backstage and saw Hanson, she said, "Hi...um...sign this or something?" so they signed a bunch of stuff. Then she was suddenly sitting on a chair all shaken up, and the guys were concerned, and Tay had his hand on her knee (ooh la la! just kidding!). After that she travelled with them. That was a long summary, but it was a longer dream the way she told it.

I want to tell you this really weird story about Hanson. Okay, I went to the Arthur Ashe Kids' Day and saw Hanson there. Well, that is the only reason I went there. Anyway, at the end of their performance we went chasing after them and they went into the elevator so we went down the stairs. We ran so fast that we beat them downstairs. The guard who was at the door kicked everyone outside, and we were stuck in a room with them. It was awesome.

I was in the city visiting my friends and we were just walking around the city without parents when we saw this huge sign that said HANSON LIVE. We got to the front of the gigantic crowd of mostly girls, and only five minutes later Hanson went through the middle of the crowd to get into the hotel that they were staying at. Then the crowd moved to the side of the building where Hanson was making faces out of the window. Then the rest of the crowd went into the building because Hanson was having their concert then. We were really bummed because we didn't have tickets. Then the producer of Hanson came up to us and asked if we had tickets. He gave us four free tickets for the fourth row! A big plus was that was when they were taping the music video for one of their songs. We had to go home before they taped the video though, because we called one of our Moms and she made us come home.

I was at one of their concerts and I was in the first row. I was throwing flowers for them and Taylor caught one. He winked and smiled at me. I was going to faint, but I didn't. About a month or two later I was going to get on a roller coaster when I saw the Hanson brothers in front of me. I was going to scream. I was happy. I wanted to sit with them, but there were bodyguards. I got the seat behind one of them. I was so happy! I will never forget the two days I saw Hanson.

Toni

I was at The Sam Goody thing, and I was waiting to get an autograph. When I got up there, Taylor kinda laughed. I thought "OMIGOD! WHAT'S WRONG?!?!?!?!?" Tay sensed my distress, so he said "Don't worry. You look fine. Nothing's wrong. It's just...well...you have my shirt." I was like "Huh?" I looked down and I was wearing the same shirt as him! Then he said "And you, ummm, ruined it." There was a catsup stain right smack on the middle of the shirt. Tay must have been hyper, cause he said(loudly), "I trust you with my shirt for just one day and go spill catsup all over it! I cant believe you! You never spill on your own shirts!" The guys cracked up. So did I . Then they signed my scrapbook: Hey Toni! Nice shirt! Taylor, Isaac, ZAC!!!!!!!
HA HA HA!!!!!!!!-ZAC

I had a dream one night that I met Zac. Then we grew up together and got married. Our song was MMMBop. We had two children and lived happily ever after except that mostly everything had "Hanson" written all over it, done by me. We named our kids Zachary and Nicole. But then i accidentally broke my arm. But I was fine. Then we bought a big mansion. We lived happily ever after, then I woke up.

Ok,my friend called me one night and told me that Hanson was coming to Frontier City which is a amusement park inOklahoma.I started freaking out and when I finally calmed down I asked my mom if I could go and she said "sure".So my friend stayed the night with me that night and we woke up early on Saturday and got in line.We waited for nine and a half hours but we finally got to see them. It was the best day of my life!Too bad we did'nt get back stage passes. Anyways,my birthday was around a month after that and we went to their house and I used around 2 rolls of film and got practically every angle of it.Then we went to Lazer Quest and that was awesome.I found out about it by reading an article on Hanson and they were telling them what they like to do in thier free time when they're not on tour.Well it was cool because they're autographs were carved in on the window at Lazer Quest.I had a wonderful time!!!!!!

Kevin

My name is Kevin and I love Hanson. I used to live in Oklahoma and I lived right next door to them. One time zac and I went into the tree house, it was a great experience. Me and Taylor used to sword fight. and me and Isaac used to talk about girls. It was great, now I see them once a year and my sister LOVES them too. Well, this is a true story and if you don't believe me then ask them.

I talk all the time to them online and I know it's Hanson 'cause I ask LOTS of questions to them and they answer exactly the way they answered in this book I have. They think I'm cool and they like me!!

A Dream by someone

[I thought it would only be nice to put dreams up as well, and this dream really happened, so I think it goes with "true" more than "fictional." I might start a dream page. Later.]
Ok, my best friend dreamed that she met HANSON and went to live with them for about six months. And when she went home her mum said she could never see them again, "SOB"! But she ran away and lived with them for the rest of her life.
Michelle
Well, my story is not all that, but the experience makes me happy every time I think of it!!!! Well, my friend (Brittany) wrote to Hanson, and told them about me!! They wrote back, and it said,
DEAR MICHELLE,
Your friend wrote to us explaining how hopelessly Hanson obsessed you are. We think that's cool!! This is Taylor and I'm here with Zac (the one you love) and Isaac.
HI! This is Zac and I wanted to say thanks for naming you dog after me. Your friend told us about how you call yourself Mrs. Zac Hanson and one day I hope it will be true!!
Michelle, I feel sorry for you, because you like my little brother Zac because he's weird. But he wants to meet you, so I know you two will meet. If you marry Zac your name won't be Mrs. Zac Hanson but Mrs. Zac Weirdo Hanson!!
Sincerely,
Taylor and Isaac
LOVE, Zac

If you don't believe me, I have the letter and the envelope to prove it!!!!

Once I was at Walt Disney World because Hanson was performing. It was about one hour before the concert and I was in line for the Tower of Terror. I was at the front of the line when all of a sudden two tall men asked me to move over. I moved and then Zac, Tay, and Ike stepped on the ride. The man working there said to get on, so in shock I stepped onto the ride. I sat at the end of the seat right next to Zac! It was a dream come true. After the ride was over I bought the picture of us on the ride, and I got him to autograph it. I wish I could meet him again. That was the best day of my life!

Jenni
Hey there! Well, my story isn't all that exciting, but it is pretty cool. This summer Hanson came to Toronto and played at Paramount Canadas Wonderland. Anyway, I didn't go see their concert because me and my friend didn't like Hanson back then. We were in line to go on TOP GUN (a rollercoaster) and it was our turn next. The gates opened but then closed again. My friend didn't know what Hanson looked like so she was getting angry when she saw that these three guys were getting on without waiting. I told her that they were Hanson but she didn't care. We thought we weren't going to get on until Hanson went for their ride but. . . the gates opened and we got to go on right behind Zac. Ike was in front with a bodyguard, then Taylor with a bodyguard, then Zac with a bodyguard and then it was us!!! Anyway, after the ride was over we didn't talk to them or get an autograph and I have been kicking myself in the head ever since!

[How sad! I guess those bodyguards were there to protect the guys from angry riders like Jenni's friend!]

Jessica
My true story about Hanson!!! Notice I said TRUE. I was playing Ouija with my friend Kim and we asked all these questions. WHOA! Then we started asking stuff about Hanson because we are BIG fans. (and I don't mean fat either.) I asked it if I will ever meet them. It said, "Yes." Then I asked if I would ever date one of them. The board said yes. I asked which one. It answered ZAC! I was freaking out!!! I do that a lot whenever I hear anything about Hanson. (especially when I hear stuff about Zac, I love Zac!) I then asked if I was going to marry him. Guess what it said. It said YES! Then Kim asked if she will marry Taylor and it said yes. She asked how they would meet, and it said they were going to meet at Zac and Jessica's wedding. Of course, Jessica is me. It was freaky! WE asked more stuff too, but I won't reveal that stuff. ANYWAYS. After we asked it about Zac and Taylor and marriage, MMMBop came on the radio. We were in shock because of all the Hanson coincidences. So stupid me decided to call the radio station. I told them the whole story, and they put it on the air! We both freaked out, especially me because I was the one that had to act all stupid and freak out while doing all the talking. I was in so much shock. So if you're ever in Columbia, SC you have to turn your radio station to 104.7 WNOK and ask them about the Hanson Ouija board story. First I told that story to the radio and now to a Hanson webpage. Whoa! Rosie O'Donnell get me on TV when Hanson's on.
[Sounds more like a psychic encounter to me, but okay!]

This summer on August 16th I went to see Hanson play live at Psyko Blast '97 at Paramount Canada's Wonderland. It was the best day of my life. Me and 3 friends got there at 7:00 a.m. and ran to the gate. The park wasn't even open yet and already hundreds of girls lined the gates! We clung to the front of the gate chanting "We want Hanson" waiting for the gates to open. Finally they opened the gates and we pushed our way down to the Kingswood Theatre. Girls were falling everywhere and losing their shoes! Finally we got to Kingswood and ran down a huge concert hill to the seats. I pushed my way through an got into the 5th row center, best seats in the house in my opinion, and waited 13 hours to see my favorite all-time band, of course, Hanson! It was the most awesome experience and I'll never forget it. Also, due out in November is a tape of all of their live stuff and since the concert I went to was on TV, I'll be in it!
[Wow, sounds pretty exciting. I know I'll be looking for the video.]

Me and a couple of friends were at Paramount Canada's Wonderland on August 16th, 1997. We originally went there to see my favorite group Hanson, but you see, none of my friends like them, so they would not wait for like 12 hours to see them. I was really mad. So we were in line for the stand up roller coaster when I saw Hanson coming up the stairs with bodyguards around them. There were like 4. I didn't think it was them at first, cause if Hanson is in line for a ride don't you think there would be tons of girls around? Well, there wasn't. I bet it is cause all the girls were at the theater to wait for them to sing. So of course me being me I started to take a huge spaz in the line. I was screaming and crying and I like practically fainted. I pushed my way through everyone and I tripped a few times cause I was in such a rush. I got to where they were standing and the bodyguards were yelling "Stay back, stay back." I didn't listen. I said Hi to Taylor cause he is my favorite and he shook my hand. I was freaking out. Also I said Hi to Zac and Ike and they shook my hand, too. I was making a total fool out of myself cause I couldn't stay still. I was so embarrassed after. Well, I really wanted to stay with them but they left after they went on the ride. I got to stand in the thing behind Taylor and Zac in the ride. It was the best ride I have ever been on at Canada's Wonderland. I said bye and I love you to them 1 million times. They waved bye to me and left. I followed them some of the way, but it was near 7:30 when the concert was starting and they went backstage. BUMMER! It was the best day of my whole life. My friends think I am pathetic cause even now I still talk about this NON STOP!
[I wonder if Hanson remembers this? Hmmm...]

"Sober"
When Hanson performed in Melbourne, Austrailia at Southland shopping centre, I was lucky enough to be up in the front since there were over 20,000 people there. Anyway, my friend Carly and I had bought 3 teddy bears. A big one for Ike, one a bit smaller for Tay, and one a little bit smaller for Zac. Anyway, we threw the teddy bears up onto the stage. Some other girls were throwing up some flowers as well. We threw up the teddy bears in between songs and Tay said, "Oh my god, things are flying at us." I was soooooo happy and so were the other few girls throwing up flowers. After that the tears started to flow down my cheeks. Hanson was excellent, and the 20,000 people there know that as well.

Lynda (Victoria, Australia)
I was at the beach with my two best friends, and I was feeling very energetic so I decided to go for a run. I could see a big crowd up ahead so I decided to see what was going on. I ran up and saw my favorite band, Hanson, who was performing there. I thought it was so cool that I happened to be in the right place at the right time. I didn't bother calling my friends over as they hate Hanson, so I tried to get closer. Luckily I am very skinny and I got so close I touched Taylor. Everyone was screaming "I love you, Taylor" but I didn't and because I was so close up I got crushed and fell to the ground. No one saw me fall except Hanson themselves, and Taylor came over and helped me up while the bodyguards held the crowd back. I tried to stand, but I couldn't, so Taylor put his arm around me and took me to the waiting ambulance, which was there in case anyone got hurt. They were expecting lots of people to turn up. I had broken my leg in the trample for my spot, and Hanson signed my cast, and I still have it.
