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

I remember the super huge bunchy socks and the tight rolled jeans. And for comfort wear, a sweet pair of Umbro shorts also with bunchy socks of course.

Why was this ever cool??? What were we thinking??

When I watched the VHI special I was dying laughing at the clothing choices.

Weren't those big giant socks called Wigwams?

I am glad that I am not the only one that is completely obsessed with them all over again.

I mean I can't stop listening to their new CD and I love the new songs!

I mean I want everything New Kids. I want to get their old VHS that are now on DVD its crazy. It's all I think about and I am 30 years old!!

How insane but you know what with how our world is today, its nice to go back and feel young again when you really didnt' have any worries.

Me too! When it was announced they were back together, I was listening to their old albums non-stop. And now I'm all about "The Block" I've had "Full Service" stuck in my head all day. NKOTB & New Edition...it's like the Beatles & the Stones! I love Joe.

I used to LOVE the old Hangin Tough VHS. "Oh u bad!"

I had to go out to my car yesterday to listen to the new cd because I could not get the songs out of my head. I work for AAA and my side of the office is travel, mostly women, they get it...the other half is car care...mechanics...who look at me like I'm nuts

What was with the sparkly red vest/jacket things they had??

The best part of that VH1 special (besides the guys) was laughing hysterically at the girls on there (and knowing I was one of them but thank God, the camera never caught me).
I bet with the end of that era, if there was stock in Rave hairspray, it fell dramatically. I remember the rumor was "Rave actually has plastic in it to make your hair stiffer!"

 

[jenny105]

Oh, oh, and not to mention Joe in his eyeliner!!!

 

[angey77]

Oh, oh, and not to mention Joe in his eyeliner!!!

I think he thought no one would notice it past his big hair! I had a guy in junior high that used to always bug me to use my eyeliner because "it made him look hot."
Ahhh, the late 80s, early 90s!

We had GA for the Atlantic City show and we bought tickets that night for the Nov show! (online that is) We LOVED it. The venue only holds 2400 people total!! It's so small so no matter where you are you will see them perfectly! We ended up in the 3rd row for most of it. (started in the fourth row and decided to slowly make our move forward - we ended up in the second row by the end) It was AWESOME!!!!!!! Very close and personal with the band, which is what I like. I mean, I made eye contact with Jordan, smiled and he smiled back. (My inner 14 year old is squealing with delight at the thought) I have two pictures where he's looking directly at me as I took the picture.

The show started at 8pm, we got there at 3pm because we didn't know what to expect. They gave out bracelets and we were numbers 75 and 76. People with bracelets were let in before all GA ticket holders. When they let those of us with bracelets in (they stopped giving them out at a certain time) they didn't do it in numerical order so we ended up being 5th and 6th in line out of all the GA people.

There is a group of VIP tickets and those people get let in before the GA people. But when we got in there were only about 3 rows of people.

We had an absolute BLAST! The show is so HOT. You will LOVE it!!!

Here's a link to my pictures, the very first one shows just how small the venue is!! http://gallery.me.com/smascione#100106

Thanks for the link. We will be going to NJ I think! Your pictures convinced me!! We're going to be coming from NH.....any decently priced hotels in the area? Also, I'm only 5'1...will I still be able to see them?

I'm only 5'2 and I wore flat sandals because I knew we would be standing for a long time. I could see fine! There was a woman next to me though that was about 6'2. I'm glad I was NEXT to her and not behind her! She was very nice though.

As far as hotels...which night would you be staying over? The night before or the night of the concert?

I know! Too funny!! I was looking at them and laughing because I thought Jordan was SOOOO hot back then. He looked hilarious to me, all that hair! He has certainly improved with age. The boys have definitely grown up.

i just keep telling myself that this might be the only tour for them, and that helps justify the fact that overall I am spending like $600.00 on all the shows. Man, that hurts just writing that. But, after seeing how awesome the first one was, I have no regrets about going again. And then again!

It's funny you say that because now we are going to the Borgata show and we figured since CT is kind of on the way home...maybe Mohegan the next night? I'm 28 and chasing NKOTB around New England for a small fortune! Good lord!

Thanks for the PM!! I'm not sure if we would need one or two nights in a hotel. It's about a 7.5 hr drive....so maybe both nights!

Deep down inside I am still A TRUE FAN! of New Kids on the Block!! I am so excited that they are back. It only took for me to hear them again on YouTube and I am hooked again, having that little girl crush feeling, and butterflies in my stomach. After 15 years those feels are back!! Jordan and Jonathan- look hotter than ever! I am really hoping to go to there concert here in L.A. I DO STILL LOVE NEW Kids on the Block!! and thanks for making this thread!! Step-by-Step!! TONIGHT! TONIGHT!! --THE RIGHT STUFF!! Love it!!

I sent you a PM with some hotel info. I only live about 15-20 minutes from AC. There are plenty of hotels on the way into the city. The casinos are pretty expensive. Sent you some info!!

hmm...do you mind sending me the list too? we're about 2 hours from AC and won't want to drive all the way home if we go!

Here's what I sent...

Borgata is pretty expensive, the 6th $199, the 7th $359. Trump Marina is close by and is cheaper, ranging from $134-$374 per night depending on the room. The casinos will be expensive.

There's a Ramada in West Atlantic City which says the rooms start at $35 a night.

Hope that helps you a bit! There are certainly other places too, this gives you a range though. The casinos won't be cheap that's for sure. You can find some cheaper ones in the city and just outside (W. Atlantic City).

Thanks! it totally does! We usually stay at the Borgata or the Trop but this might have to be a budget trip since we might spend an arm and leg for tickets!

That's also teacher convention that weekend IN AC....so it's going to be crowded. Book soon!

How is the Ramada? Have you stayed there?

 

[N&B'smom]

I haven't stayed there because I live so close to the city. I can look into some more for you as well.

I'm curious about the Ramada too! This is definitely a budget trip for us too! Just something clean and safe is good for us!
