DISer chapter of NKOTB anonymous...join the party *ahem* intervention!!!

[JennM]

Great concert report, Erin! Thanks for helping me cope with my PCD (post-concert depression) for the time being . . . and thanks to Heather for that spot-on diagnosis.

Shelby, can't wait to hear about the concert tonight!

 

[cruiserkaren]

Thanks, Heather. I am so excited to spend my b'day with NKOTB!!!

I probably look like a nut though, I'm in a skirt and a tank style top. I just remember DYING of heat last time and I wore a tank top then too! I'm prepared this time around. I don't know how people in long sleeves and stuff got through it. It was brutally HOT in that standing room only section.

And I don't just feel 14 again, apparently I really am since my face is starting to break out. Nice, huh? Just in time for the concert!!

Shelby

Happy Birthday! Have a great time.

Oh my gosh!!!! I couldn't have asked for anything more for my birthday. We had the BEST time. We had 4 star VIP and got there around 2:30. There were already people lining up it was crazy. Anyway, we grabbed a bite to eat and then we went back out and it was REALLY getting mobbed. We were told to line up with the 5 stars which is what we did. Then we found out later we shouldn't have because they had our bracelets and tickets at the Box Office. So, after standing in line for a couple of hours we went there and got our stuff. We ended up getting back in line where the 5 star people had been because we were told that 4 stars should line up there later on. We were the first ones there. We were the ONLY ones there. No one else came! After standing there until 6pm we went over to the security guard at the bottom of the escalator and asked if he knew where we should be, he said he thought we should have already gone up by then and sent us up to check it out.

We found NO ONE else with 4 star bracelets. No one seemed to know where we belonged. We finally ran into one girl that had 4 star but said there was no bracelet in her envelope. They made her leave to try to sort it out.

Anyway, they directed us past all the people waiting in line for the meet and greet and had us sit in a hallway sort of out of the way, probably about 30 feet past everyone else. (this was the hall that the 5 stars would use after the meet and greet to get into the venue) So, we're sitting there and the head of security comes up to us and says 'Whatever happens, don't get up off the floor and have your camera ready.' Then he smiled. I immediately caught on and started fumbling for my camera, I started shaking. They were bringing KNOTB in through the hallway where we were sitting all alone! When the time came their security guy told us to put the cameras down which was fine because I was too busy staring. Oh my gosh, Jordan came around the curve of the hall and said 'Ladies' in his flirty Jordan way. Then after I got done gawking at him I looked over and Donnie was giving me that sideways look with that smile. Oh my gosh, I was shaking like a leaf.

So, within 5 minutes the 5 stars were heading out after the meet and greet and down the hallway past us. The head of Borgata security came up to us and said that since we did was he asked (not jumping up when the guys came through) and since it was just the 2 of us, he'd let us in WITH the 5 stars rather than after. So, we ended up in the FRONT ROW, standing room only. It was awesome!!!!! We were in the center too. I still can't believe it!!

Then to top it all off as if that wasn't enough, at the very end of Summertime, Jordan grabbed my hand and sang to me. I could NOT believe it!!! It was such an unbelievable night!!!! I just had to share.

I will post some pics tomorrow but here's one for you to hold you over. I think you're going to like it. Sorry it's a little blurry.

WOW!!! That is an amazing story!!! I am so excited for you! And happy birthday

I forgot something!! While Donnie was singing Cover Girl a clear stone popped off his belt and bounced across the stage and landed right in front of me just out of reach. So, the next time their bodyguard/security guy Robo came over and sat on the floor in front of me, I asked him to get it for me and he did. Yes, I'm THAT crazy of a fan. I have it tucked safely away where it will remain forever.

Shelby

P.S. I also got to meet one of our own Dis chaper of NKOTB anonymous members, ilovefh!!!

Hope you like it. (I know you will)

Shelby

P.S. Sorry it's so brief but you're not supposed to video and being in the front row security was right there ready to tell people to knock it off.

 

[N&B'smom]

I'm hoping someone made a video of Summertime so I can see the part where Jordan was holding my hand!!!

Shelby

 

[ilovefh]

It was awesome! Shelby, after reading about your experience I am kicking myself for not getting 4* tickets! It would have been worth the extra $80 just to see them in the hallway I should definitely have listened to you! GA was again chaos, but this time they did line us up in numerical order. That stunk because my bracelet was 186 and my friend was 161. We did manage to get in together though! I'm glad I read up before I went! If I had listened to them when they said they were giving out bracelets at 4pm I would have been out of luck since they gave them out at 1!

It was such a great show though! And like Shelby said they were awesome! Laughing and having a great time!

My friend actually threw her bra to Donnie during "Tonight." He caught it, pointed to her and then blew her a kiss! Wow it was so hot! We had a great time! Now we're hoping for a tour next summer and we're going to save for 5* tickets!

And I did meet Shelby before the show! That was a first for me! I had never met a Diser before!

And I did meet Shelby before the show! That was a first for me! I had never met a Diser before!
