takethewalk.net is now up and running! This will be THE spot to find out about the walks on the tour!
There are various ways to donate to several causes listed on the page – with more to come!
The page also has a myspace to go along with it – so add that to your friends list!
With presales for the Take The Walk book/ep supposed to be starting this weekend, Hanson.net sent out an email stating that the presale was delayed. The good news is – it seems like there might be the opportunity for it to be released more mainstream. The bad news – it doesn’t seem like Hanson knows when it will become available!
We are delaying the beginning of the pre-sale for Take the Walk Book and EP to pursue new opportunities that have arisen which might expand the message and audience of The Walk Around The World.
Zac: “We know that many of you have been getting ready for the release of Take The Walk Book and EP. We are still planning on making the EP and book available before the end of the tour, but feel like it is important to pursue every opportunity and partnership that might help spread the message of The Walk Around The World.”
Hopefully any potential partnerships will work themselves out sooner rather than later – so we can get some new music and check out this new book! AND get the word out about the walks!
I’m sure you all remember Locksley – who opened on last fall’s leg of the Walk tour. Here’s a little update of what is going on in the wonderful world of Locksley –
They will be on MTV’s “Choose or Lose” tour – which kicks off October 5 in Boston MA and wraps up November 1 in New York. (For more dates, check out their myspace)
They have 3 songs available for “Rock Band”!
Also – their CD “Don’t Make Me Wait” is being re-released September 9th – (which unfortunately will not be including that “No No No” sing-a-long song we all enjoyed singing so much on tour! – Thanks Stephanie for clearing that up! But it should be making its way onto their NEW album that they are working on!)
Also be sure to watch the VMAs Red Carpet because you just might see the guys of Locksley walking on it!
Amount of pennies left: Around 50
Current donation amount: Almost $250.
As I previously had mentioned – Global Strategies will be forwarding whatever is raised over to HIVSA. They have also sent me a letter in recognition of the first donation which can be viewed on the donation thanks page.

Something cool that the venue is doing in Kentucky..
I Just wanted to let everyone know a little information about what City Block Louisville will be doing for all the Hanson Fans. This year we will be opening “Camp Hanson”. This will be a secure area (Fenced-In) that everyone that arrives early can camp in. We will be providing access into our venue for Hanson campers from Wednesday afternoon October 1st until the show on Saturday October 4th. Everyone entering Camp Hanson will be given a number and that will be the order you enter the building at show time. This way you will not have to fight to get in first. Once in Camp Hanson you will have access to
· Indoor bathrooms
· Drinks
· We’re working on Food vendors
· We will be showing movies around the clock on our Large projection screens
· You will be able to play video games IE: Wii, Pool Tables, and others
· The Building is of course heated so this year you won’t freeze
Once again this year we will be doing interviews with the Camp Hanson Fans that will go on our web sitewww.cityblocklouisville.com . In addition this year these interviews will be turned into a DVD that each of the Hanson’s will receive a copy of, so brush up on what you want to say to them.Be sure and check out our web sitewww.cityblocklouisville.com with interviews from last year including the Hanson interview just before the show. Also this year we will be producing Hanson is coming web commercials that will post twice a week on the site until the show.Looking forward to seeing all of you here in Louisville, Kentucky.
Seems like a pretty cool thing to keep those campers safe! If anyone ends up going, please let us know how it works out!
Hanson.net sent out a newsletter earlier today with some info about merch for this tour.
Of course the big item this tour will be the Take The Walk coffee table book and EP. Which will include 4 brand new songs recorded especially for the EP as well as an acapella version of “Change in My Life” For those of you who are hanson.net members, there are some FUTY’s with sneak peaks of a couple of these songs.
Those of you lucky enough to be attending the first “Hanson Fan Bus” will get the following merch included with your booking:
Personally, I am most looking forward to the posters – Zac made a post on the members side asking about some poster idea, and if they go through with what he was talking about… they will be pretty cool! I’m also a bit interested in finding out about the dress. That is.. an interesting piece of merch, to say the least.
What do you think of this merch? Any idea on designs? Something they left out? Leave a comment!
