NKOTB 4 Eva

My friend Theresa and I decided to drop some sweet cheddar and go see NKOTB, 98* and Boys II Men at Jobing.com Arena.  The tickets were 30!!! BUCKS  so we were not sure what to expect.

Well, as expected, there were a lot of, um, "special" people there.  Let's just say Mom Jeans & Kitten TShirts are alive and well.

The sadness of the fans made me sad and this lead to me being sad for NKOTB.  What would the show be like? Would I be embarrassed for them? Would I cringe when Joey tried to do the 'hanging tough' arm swing?!  It was all so scary.


We got in to the arena and our seats were good; lower level and off to the side above the stage.  I ended up getting some good news from a work contact and they came to meet us at our seats to say hi...and offer 2 vip upgrades.  So ya, i took them and ran!  Work isn't the worst :)  4th row from the main stage.  But would we just be closer to the sadness that is a 40 y/o boy band? Only time would tell.

Boys II Men started. They were okay.  No pics came out because they were all wearing white and the pics came out stupid.  Also, I didn't realize until a few days later that there were originally FOUR members and only 3 were there.  One of them did the running man.  It was boss.

98* were adorable.  One of the guys grew in to quite the looker of a dude.  Like hurt me hot.  Not a Lachey either or that other one...THAT one. He's hot.

There was a 15 min break before NKOTB started and I was nervous but ready.

It took about 15 seconds for me to LOSE.MY.SHIT.  The moment I saw them on stage i lost it...and i'm still losing it.  Those fools have it.  I came close to slapping a stranger when they performed You got the Right Stuff.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing. My inner 10 was out in full swing.  I got teary eyed during several songs.  Hello!  I had a Joey and Jonathan doll, NKOTB sheets and ALL of their CDs.

During Tonight (la la la la la Tonight), they came down and I got to shake hands with JOEY!!! Danny and Jonathan!!!!  I couldn't even deal.

The whole night was pure magic. Thanks to Social Media I am now even more determined to make a Christmas Card w/ them or at the very least share a drink or child.

So watch out.

Also...OMG, I SHOOK HANDS WITH JOEY!!!!
