Sig Hansen from Northwestern @ Disney

[Puccaw]

Again, I am green with envy!!! Glad you enjoyed it!

 

[Corryn]

What an awesome experience!!! I love the whole misadventurous nose ring scene! hahahahahahahah
Thanks for sharing

 

[Barbossa'sWench]

Awww thanks! Glad you guys enjoyed the story. I'm STILL on cloud nine over it and this was Saturday, I have met some awesome famous people but this was the top of it for me. I really do love the Hansen brothers...and to think literally until the night before it looked like I wasn't even going to get to go, that made it extra special. They gave me royal treatment and I'll always be thankful for it, and I will never watch Deadliest Catch the same again. Besides, I'm the proud piercer of Edgar Hansen's nose! LOL!

I love it!! I am so happy for you! I love it when someone gets to meet folks they really adore and it all goes well, and you had fun and had a "personal keychain thing" going on and the tears....oh I just love it all! Im so happy for you!
Thanks for sharing your story and pics with us!

 

[angelmav]

Thats awesome! I love it when folks I see and like on TV turn out to be great in real life! I am so envious of everyone that got to meet them!

 

[Barbossa'sWench]

Thanks again guys, I'm so glad it turned out like a story through pictures. Corryn, the whole keychain thing was so funny. I nearly died laughing and Edgar was so pleased with himself afterwards.

Danalee. Thanks, wow that REALLY means alot to me, I haven't been able to shut up about it and I think I am driving everyone insane. It really did mean that much to me, and the guys could totally tell and went above and beyond the call of duty to make it special for me. They all promised to carry their keychains next season so a little part of me will be on the Northwestern, and no need to thank me...THANK YOU for looking at my pictures. I really did cry though...and that made it even more special. I will still be on cloud nine for days I think. I was guarding my pictures/signed coffee mug/Northwestern shirt as if it were gold on my way home. LOL!

Barbossa'sWench, you were just a few people in line in front of me and my 2 girls! I loved your story . They were ridiculously cute and sweet and gracious

Me too, but I LOVE your Story Barbossa's Wench, it was awesome! Thanks for the pics too, and I bet out of ALL the fans, they will remember YOU the MOST!!

 

[Barbossa'sWench]

LorasMom....wait, no joke! That was you? I totally remember you! I remember glancing back at you guys quite a few times, funny thing being I kept thinking "I bet there is a fellow DISer somwehere in line close to me here." I was right to, man we need a secret handshake or DISer armbands I would have so struck up a convo with you. My pink hair makes me easy to recognize, hear that fellow DISers? If you see a girl with bright pink hair in the parks come up to me, I am a resident and have an annual PH pass...lol! I hope you and your girls enjoyed it as well, and they were ridiculously cute and sweet and utterly charming. I remember noticing Edgar's hands....his nails were all torn up and I said to myself "Ah-Ha! Fishermans hands!" LOL!

Poohbear, thanks so much. ~Blushes~ I hope so, I know I will NEVER forget it! They were so ridiculously kind to me!

 

[Hollymom1229]

The stories are great and thank you so much for posting pictures. The Northwestern is my favorite ship and Sig my very favorite captain. I wish I could have gone down to see them.

I was surprised they were so well behaved! I mean, what kid wants to go to Epcot and hang out in Norway for 90 minutes in the rain to meet some crab fishermen?? (answer? MINE! ). I live close by and have an AP too, so maybe we'll bump into each other again!

Edgar had somebody ask to take a picture of his hands while we were talking with Sig - I remember he kind of laughed and held up his hands and said, "Go ahead, take it!"

 

[bouncycat]

I was in that same line too!! Don't remember seeing ya'll, the pink hair would definedly stand out!! I'm in the parks all the time, usually wearing my orange tigger shirt (I love that dang shirt) Those guys were just awesome, I had my 10 yr old son with me, and he was just in awe. It was an experience that I'll never forget!! My dad is even jealous!! And that's saying something! The only thing that would have made that moment better for me is having my husband with me, he had left the day before, to go out to sea, he's in the coast guard, and to hear my ds run up to Sig, yelling "my daddy's in the coast guard" was just awesome for me, total proud moment for me and my family. I can't wait to give my dh his signed mug!!!

 

[ToGreen78]

Barbossa's Wench, GREAT story, I'm so happy for you and totally jealous
OMG if those Hansen men had their arms around me there's no telling what I might do

 

[bouncycat]

Togreen, I think they did that with almost everyone, cause Sig's arm was around me in the picture, and my son's in his, plus I got a hug That was just awesome. They are really fun down to earth guys, alot like the coast guard guys I know, now of course my DH is the envy of his ship, cause he told everyone his wife got him a signed mug!!! Just awesome in my book!!! I watched the show last night in a different light!

 

[Barbossa'sWench]

LorasMom: That is so awesome, and your kids obviously have great taste! Hey maybe we will run into eachother, I have bright pink hair, lip piercing and a monroe piercing, can't miss me ~does shifty eyes~ I can often be found hanging out by POTC or stalking Captain Hook....buwhahahha! Awwwww, somebody took a pic of Edgar's hands? How cute? They are beautiful fishermans hands....~swoons~


BouncyCat: YAY TIGGER! Yea, the pink hair/piercings tend to make me stick out a bit. That story about your daughter saying that just made me tear up, seriously. If you ever see me in the parks feel free to say hi, and KUDOS to your husband and what he does!


I got two hugs from everyone, three from Edgar and when he snuggled me well this sums it up...

 

[winnapooh]

I love the key chain story!!! You'd never think from the show that any of the fishermen would be that "huggable!" It's funny...we got hooked on Deadliest Catch after the first season; there was a marathon of the first season shows and we watched the entire thing (it was a rainy day!) And at the time, my husband and I hated the Northwestern for some reason. Now, they are our favorite boat! And I have to agree, Edgar is pretty easy on the eyes

We almost took a short trip down to see them, but unfortunately life got in the way. Hopefully they will be back! Thanks for posting the pics!

 

[mom2of2]

Hey Barbossa's Wench!!! Guess who???? It's the woman who was in front of you shoving you in front of me to see Edgar!!!!! Small world indeed!!! That was a great day and I was grinning from ear to ear for the rest of the weekend.

Didntcha love how we both called Mom right after to squeal like 12 yr olds at a Jonas Brothers concert? We were pathetic but it was awesome!!!

I got a black Shut up and Fish mug, can cozy and a sticker that says Shut up and Fish on it. The guys signed the mug for me.

When I got home and uploaded my pics my "Hanson Brother Sandwich" pics (Sig's words!!) My husband commented that Edgar's hand was a wee bit high I said that he was just really TALL!!!

 

[Weluvdisny]

You guys are so lucky! We wish we could have been there to see them too!

As someone posted earlier, but got no response, are the Northwestern stuff going to be there for a while? I would like to buy a shirt or mug on our trip in November.

 

[mom2of2]

I hadn't seen it prior but am going to be there on Saturday so I will look for you then

GREAT PIC... I am a man and the first thing I said when i saw the pic was "Wow, his hand is really close to her b**b, I wonder what her husband had to say about that"

Great pic though, wish I could have been down there to meet the Hansen bro's
