going back 25 years...

After the crappy week I had last week a night out was MUCH NEEDED!!! And what a better way than going to see some of my favorite artists!!! Tuesday, I was taken back to my 9 yo self...I relived my very first concert EVER...NKOTB!  Yes, you read that right...I wasn't even sure I was going to be going cause I didn't think anyone would even want to go!! But when Melinda asked me to go of course I said yes, I seriously have been a fan forever, a few years back I saw them again for the first time since 1988.  And I have to tell you...they are just as good (if not better) now as they were when they first came out.

Unfortunately I didn't get any good pictures because I couldnt find my point/shoot camera and my phone died! But my oh my, they were amazing!!!!!!!!

Our seats were awesome! But I dont think there was a bad seat! The stage was awesome, they had 2 stages, the one was at the one end of the arena and the MAIN stage was in the middle of the floor and it raised up and turned and they had smaller parts that rose up too! 

Melinda & I snuck up to the stage before the concert

Boyz II Men performed first and then 98 Degrees, they both sang for about 1/2 hour. And they both put on amazing performances! By this time, it was 830 and I was honestly wondering how I was going to make it the rest of the night {yea Im an old lady and usually ready for bed by 9pm} 

NKOTB came on at 9 and wow wow wow! Blown away! I seriously can't say how much I loved this concert!!! These guys (all in their 40s) are just ah-mazing!   

They danced and sang for TWO hours! TWO HOURS!!!! Man are they in great shape....(they showed it off a little bit) and they can move!!! One part close to the end each of them actually came into the audience to sing! We got Danny where we were and then Donny was to our right!

Despite the piss ass drunk girls behind and in front of us, it was quite funny watching them until they spilled their drink all over Melinda's purse, I would totally relive this night over and over and over!!! If you get a chance to check out this tour, do not pass it up!!! You won't regret going 

After this tour I really hope they tour again because I will 100% be there!!

You got the right stuff- BABY

Um, yes, I do...why you might ask well because I will be again re-living my FIRST CONCERT EVER! I am sure most of you know where I am going with this {unless you live under a rock} so lets back up a little bit...

Back in the day...when I was a little gal{like 8}...I was slightly obsessed with New Kids on the Block...Yes, T-shirts, Posters, Pins and ALL! We {my sister and I} were beyond crazy about them, we had every one of their tapes, and would make sure we had the VCR  set whenever they were going to be on any TV show!{am I showing my age} Made sure we watched the cartoon!

I remember  when my sister was in college, she got to see them at a local bar in the city and I was so so jealous {and I couldn't go because I was under 18}...this is when they went from New Kids on the Block to just NKOTB 

So in 2009 when they were going back on tour we of course bought tickets!!! When we first got there it seriously was a bunch of  20-30 somethings women drunk and just acting a fool! It was pretty crappy and rainy and our seats were in the lawn so we didn't think it would be much fun. Jesse McCartney opened for them and we had known maybe one of his songs, by this time we were pretty much soaking wet and just kind of blah...then it was time...and boy o boy were we wrong! This seriously was one of the BEST concerts EVER!  They were amazing...still pulling out all the dance moves and rocking on stage! It was like we were back in our young days dancing around singing at the top of our lungs to all the songs and doing all the dances...oh yes, I do know the dances !

When they toured w. BSB I wasn't able to go....so now that brings me to current time...and um they are touring again!!! This time...its {ORIGINAL} Boy-Band heaven!!! Boyz-II-Men AND 98Degrees...c`mon!

To be honest, I didn't think I was going to go, but just the fact they are going on tour again was exciting! Well, lo & behold.....a friend posted on Twitter about no one wanting to go...so of course I had to msg her....and not only are we going...she got us FLOOR tickets!!! I am beyond excited! I can not wait to act like a teenager again and dance around and sing at the top of my lungs!
