UGH I remembered another funny thing LOL
When Hanson was big so were the Spice Girls. One of the Teen magazines had put out a poster and on one side was Hanson and one side was Spice Girls. Well I absolutely LOVED both groups, so I remember I found a tack and I tacked it up on my wall. But every other day I would have to flip it LOL so that one day I could see Hanson and the next I could see the Spice Girls since I couldn't choose who I loved more.
And I had a VHS tape of Hanson that I got for Christmas one year. OMG, I would watch it every night before bed and eventually I watched it so much it quit working. It was like, a live tour with some candid home movie stuff and I think some music videos on it. I LOVEDDD that video SOO much. That was as close as I ever thought I was going to get to seeing them live!
OH MY GOD, that is so funny...I have a story for you...Okay, I was obsessed with the Spice Girls...I mean OBSESSED. it's since faded, but just a little... =) I mean, I can't explain how bad my madness was. Anyway, I had a ginormous long "Spice wall" in my room. And my "Spice wall" is infamous to this day. LoL. No joke! It was my number one hobby. Any money I had went to Bop, Teen Beat, Tiger Beat, 16, J-14, etc...and any time I had was dedicated to my wall. It was a crazy crazy crazy crazy collage, like wall paper - not one space without Spice Girls. I would cut out every - single - thing in the magazine SG related. If I had a 1 inch gap, I would cut out the word 'baby' or something and fill it in. I used posters, words, stickers, tattoos, bubble gum and chupa chup wrappers..and on top of that, I had keychains hanging and stuff. It was REALLY insane. I wish I could find the pictures of it. Anyway, at my dad's house I had a little of everyone (Spice Girls, Hanson, Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, Aaron Carter, B*Witched, Britney Spears, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, LFO, and three random posters - one of a Peace Frog, a smiley face VW Bug, and of an alien shooting a peace sign, LoL). I remember all this because my room there has been kept the same since I was eleven. =) But yeah, they always put SG/Hanson and BSB/N'Sync and I hated it! I even have a couple that are like Emma/Melanie C and that was just cruel! Everytime I visited I would flip the posters. Well, the last time I was there was Sept '08 and I went into the room and flipped them, LoL.
Oh and are you talking about "Tulsa, Tokyo, and the Middle of Nowhere"? I still have it on VHS! (I kept *ALL* of my 90s Pop memorabilia and I am so glad. I'll prolly make a list of it at some point, because lists are fun. =D)
Gooood times. Good times. =)
