15 years ago I went to my first concert. Back then- nothing was hotter than Danny, Jordan, Jon, Joey and Donnie aka New Kids on the Block! I remember being madly in love with Jordan- and then Donnie... and then Jordan again and then... oh well- you know how it goes.
I shared some of my then most prized possession... posters of New Kids with my little sister Liz, for her to hang on her bedroom wall- that was the start of her own musical love affair with them. When she called me last Saturday and asked if I wanted to go to their concert... I got up and looked online for available tickets. Someone must have made a mistake in the prices and when I called the agent to make the purchase, he tried to get me to purchase other tickets. We bought the ones for $60- which were right by others tickets listed from over $100.00 up to $480.00! Crazy.
We had fun even before the show- texting messages to the jumbo tron! Then at 8:00.. it started!! Lady GaGa!! And Natasha Bedinfield!!! Both, opened the show. Liz and I had such a great time! Every one was screaming and singing... all the old songs they played seemed to have an updated sound to them. I was surprised I remembered so many songs. But then again- I did listen to their tape 24/7 for an entire summer. The looked and sounded awesome!
Liz- thank you so much for going with me!! I love you!
Here are some pics and a quick movie that I took that night, that demonstrates the screaming I was talking about!
