Yesterday was the eighth anniversary of my first Hanson show. I haven't thought about them in a while - not deeply anyway. They're always present; the Hanson Hotel is my Internet homepage, I have more than 60 of their songs on ITunes, and my Underneath Acoustic DVD has been laying atop my TV for a couple months now. It wasn't until this morning when I saw the date on someone else's blog post from yesterday that I realized that yesterday was August 24th.

Anyway Hanson's in the studio now, which means that they will probably be locked away in a dungeon for another year or so. I'm actually suddenly really anxious to hear their new material, and to see them live again - I watched some tracks on my DVD the other night and was just so refreshed to see them - their faces just radiating passion, their harmonies impeccably tight. I haven't seen them live in two years, and I'm so anxious for them to get back out there and blow me away.
