I first became a fan of Hanson in 1997 when I heard MMMBop. I thought it was a catchy tune and my son who was 2 at the time used to sing along in his carseat. Needless to say he gets his great taste in music from me. Anyway, from there it went on with the Christmas cd and Live From Albertane.

Everything really took off in 2000 when This Time Around was released and I had the brilliant idea to take a cross-country road trip to catch as many Hanson shows as I possibly could between my college semesters. It was pretty easy to convince my sister to come along with me; she's always up for a road trip.

She wasn't much of a fan at first, but it didn't take long for her to appreciate these guys for all that they are.

That 3-month period in 2000 was one of the most memorable times of our lives. We saw places we probably never would have seen, met some great people we most likely would have never met, and had some good times just being sisters.

The next few years after that, the guys pretty much disappeared due to record label issues and such, but I patiently waited because I had faith in them and knew they would pull through.

I've been a member of Hanson.net, their fanclub, since 2000 and during this time of "drought" they kept in touch with the fans and kept us updated on what was going on.

They really care about and appreciate their fans. They have a very loyal fanbase and are always coming up with ways to "reward" us so to speak and make each and every one of us feel special.

They have come out with several albums since then; released on their own label 3CG.

They're all grown up now; married and have kids.

They're still making music. Their music has grown with them.

I'm as big of a fan now as I was at the start, probably more so and I don't think I'll ever stop being a fan. Last count I think I have seen them in concert 75+ times. I'd have to go back and do some research to find out the exact number. I can't wait to see them again.
