OT - NKOTB

I just heard some great news.  New kIds on the Block are indeed reuniting to put together a new album, and they will be touring!  Ok, I feel a bit goofy about my level of excitement, but it is kind of cool.  Seriously, they were the group that had me all hot and sweaty back in my teen years.  Is this what it was like for my parents generation with Elvis and the Beetles?  I'm thinking that if they don't make it to MN, but get within a few states distance, a party bus may be needed.  Of course, I'm jumping the gun a little, since they haven't anounced tour dates and locations.  Ok, whew, time to get back to work.  Just had to share my joy! hehehe, I am such a dork!  But I'm ok with that.

Oh, for real?! That's so cool. Isn't it funny how when you hear one of their songs you are instantly transported back in time.

you still couldnt' pay enough to go back to those ages, but boy doesn't popping them in the CD player remind you of kinder, gentler days?

OMG Christi I'm so there with you!!!!   I was home sick on Friday and saw them on the Today show and was transported back to being 12 years old!!!  I had NKOTB everything the sleeping bag, the lunch box, the pins, etc.  My mom says she still has some of my old shirts in a box.  I wonder if I can lose enough weight to fit into one some day soon!!!!

Now there is a fun goal for you!  For some odd reason, I never got a tshirt, but I had pins and trading cards and posters, and my Mom had a boyfriend at the time who had satelite tv, so he would order their concerts on PPV and videotape them for me and my little sis.  Boy did those tapes get a lot of wear. 

Oh I'm so with you, girlfriend! I already informed my sister that we WILL be attending a concert somewhere. I told her that it's going to be dork central and we definitely need to be in the middle of it.

I did that wth my sis too, except all I could do was leave her a message!  didn't mention dork central, but I'm sure she thought it when she got the message.   

OK.. this probably dates me..  I went to their last concert that was here at the State Fair a few years ago..  I swooned...!! **EDITED FOR STUPIDITY** It was Color me Badd that I had seen at the State Fair...  Same era wrong band...  I STILL SWOONED...!!

I saw NKOTB at the State Fair featuring Tiffany! and at the Met Center!

I got to see them at Harriet Island.  They had Rick West (?) and somebody else opening for them.  We had great spots!  When they danced bare-chested in front of hte speakers, we could see thier nips pretty plainly.  Oh swoon!  Then, after the show, when my sis and I were sitting on a grass hill by the road waiting for our Dad to pick us up, somebody drove by in a Limo, and a young male arm wearing a black bracelet/band waved out the window at us.  We chose to believe it was one of our studs!
