New Kids on the Block AKA the BEST CONCERT EV-ER!

As most of you know, my middle school years were spent OBSESSED with New Kids on the Block. Cassettes, posters, pins, t-shirts, sheets, videos...I had them all (I even begged and pleaded until I got a Shar Pei because that was the kind of dog that they had). When I heard that NKOTB was releasing a new album and going on tour again I was beyond ecstatic! I bought tickets as soon as they came out and have been anxiously waiting. The concert finally came around this week and I was not disappointed. BTW...Natasha Bedingfield was the second opening act. Tracy - I wanted to let you know that your infamous one side of the head shaved hairdo is making a comeback. Natasha had her hair cut like that!

I realized (too late) that I forgot my !@#$%^& camera! So all of my pictures are taken with my phone.
L.A. (the most amazing husband ever) dutifully came with me. As you can tell from this picture he was really excited o go. He actually even admitted afterwards that it was the best concert that he's ever seen (besides the music being too loud and all the screaming - of which I was NOT a part of...yeah right).

I even found a t-shirt from the first concert that I went to way back in 1990. Up until last night the original concert was the best that I attended. I can remember Aimee, Shelley, Haley and I crammed on two seats about seven rows back screaming like some wild women (and Aimee telling me not to lock my knees because I will pass out and she wasn't carrying me through that crowd).

I think some of the people actually believed that it was still 1990. There were lots of women with torn t-shirts.
Lots of side pony tails!
I'm not even sure what this is...
There was a plethera of merchandise to be had but I just couldn't shell out $45 for a t-shirt.
This woman was really confused. She was about 45 dressed like a disco ball and had pigtails...YIKES!

This is a shot of the main stage. This pictures actually look farther away than we really were.
L.A. forgot his ear plugs so he sat with his headphones in for the entire concert...but he was a good sport and didn't complain...much.
Midway through the concert the guys came out to Stage B...which was right in front of us.
Dancing on the piano

Post-concert...worn out...but still rockin'.

I'm trying to find tickets to a closer concert so that I can take some good pics. (And I'd love to see the show again!)
