are you listening?

Hanson. Say the word and people automatically think MMMBop and make comments like, "Are they still around?" It's been happening to me for years. In fact, even when Hanson was at their most popular, I was made fun of at school for my musical preferences. Now that I'm older, it bothers me less, but I've long grown weary of the remarks.

See, Hanson is a big part of my life. I've been a fan since 1997. I've gone to every concert in Toronto, have every album, live track, and enough merchandise to last a lifetime. Being a Hanson fan is more than just loving the music....it's almost part of my identity. This summer, I've got lots to be excited about, music-wise. Hanson is coming to play a show at the end of the summer (thank goodness!) - and I just received my order of summer Hanson merch.

What did I order? A Hanson tank top and a pair of Hanson sunglasses. Well, I also picked up a poster - but it's not exactly summery. The tank is a gorgeous coral colour (perfect for the warm weather) and it has one of my favourite Hanson quotes on it. It has a V-neck cut and will look totally perfect at the concert. The Hanson sunglasses on the other hand, are red and have "Hanson" written along the sides. So cute! Plus, I love the cute red sunglasses case. Again, they'll look totally perfect at the outdoor concert.

New merch from my favourite band? A great way to keep the summer months rolling along! Now I'm just counting down the days until the show.....

What is your favourite band? Do you love band t-shirts?
