Crystal - HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!! I hope Donnie's a LOT friendlier!!

Here are a couple funny ones I took too...

Jordan was cracking up about something and filling Joe in...

Apparently Joe thought it was funny too...check out his face...he was cracking up and it made him look kind of creepy!

I need positive thoughts from everyone! I felt like I was getting a head cold yesterday, crappy but manageable. This morning I woke up with a yucky stomach bug. I need to feel okay enough to go tonight! Think positive for me!

Oh no! I hope you can go!!! Feel better soon!!!

I know what they were laughing about! In the first one Jordan is making fun of some girl in the audience and doing the same thing she was doing with her legs and arms... fists at sides sort of jumping up and down running tyoe of thing. He had been pointing at her and laughing his butt off! I was cracking up watching it!

I love the pictures! They look like they're having so much fun.

Have fun Crystal!!!! Give Joe an extra squeeze from me!

Here is the link to the promised video, my little sister's response to Donnie F'ing Wahlberg. Keep in mind that this is my VERY reserved, federal budget analyst sister. I am still shocked she did this! Language warning!!!

Remember that contest our radio station was having for the 5* package? This is how it played out. My NK partner in crime, Sadie, was in charge of submitting our ideas since I would be on my way to NYC. The radio people cracked up with the drive-thru idea, fell in love with our other idea. Downtown Des Moines is connected by a system of skywalks. We wanted to take our New Kids sleeping bags to the skywalks on the morning of the concert and use them to hop through the skywalks singing New Kids songs and soliciting donations for rememberbetty.org. The radio personalities loved it! This was on Tuesday morning. Winner was to be chosen on Friday morning (of last week). Thursday morning I get a voicemail from Sadie saying that she has good and bad news. The contest rules were changed due to insurance issues at the radio station. They announced on air that they had great entries, from swallowing a goldfish to one called "Hopping for Hooters", sadie's creative title, that involved raising money for breast cancer research. One of the 3 morning people said that ours would have been his choice and then the other two agreed. Knife in the heart! So close! Like I said, they changed the rules. Now it turned into a "who you know contest" and they listed 5 local celebs... 2 news people, the governor, Ashton Kutcher and Shawn Johnson (who we actually got an email address from thanks to Sadie's neighbors who are the ISU gymnastics coaches). First person to get one of these "celebrities" to call in to the morning show and sing Hangin Tough would win the VIP package. Needless to say, we did not win. The governor called in for one of his staff members. Ugh! Turned into a contest that was all about who you know! I am still bitter!!!

OK, sorry, just needed to do my NKOTB vent! Carry on!!!

Wish I could see the video. Stupid surf control.

Sorry to hear about the contest! That stinks that they turned it into that! You guys would have definitely won otherwise!! And to tell Danny, in person, how the 5* was won would have been amazing.

Any word on if they're definitely doing a summer tour? I want a 5* for that. My sister and I are already agreed that when we go again, that's the way to do it.

We would have been able to present the check to Danny at the 5*

I have not heard anything else about the summer tour, just that Donnie still says outdoor venues. I am thinking amphitheater's and State Fair Grandstands. Our State Fair lineup has already been announced with no holes to fill, so guess that is out. Minnesota's lineup has yet to be announced, though.

Our State Fair lineup has had a hole since they announced the others, just saying it would be announced later. Then Katy Perry backed out, leaving another. I'm soooooo hoping that the first hole is for NKOTB!

We have an outdoor venue here, PNC Arts Center. It's like ten minutes from my house. I can't imagine a NKOTB show there though. There's lawn seating and people would get trampled. Then again, they have Ozzfest there so how bad could it be?

Our state fair is the Meadowlands. If they're going to be there, you might as well have it at one of the arenas!

Cute song, Heather!

Crystal - Have fun!!!!

Like my new pics? My dd5 is gone and dd1 is asleep! Ahh, the sweet sound of silence.

 

[lovemickeya]

Video is too funny.

As for the summer tour... I still hope it isnt outside, it is so stinken hot here in the middle of the summer and We just dont have any good place to have a concert here outdoors. The state fair would be a nightmare. UGH I am holding out hope for the dates and venues.

Okay ladies, I was wondering if you could help me with some ideas. I found a contest being put on by one of our local news stations. The gist of it is, is that you have to decorate your garage to be a billboard advertising the concert.

http://www.wfrv.com/contests/details.aspx?id=81fef048-2d7a-4778-b7eb-10b13d3168b6

Help me think what I can do that will stand out (without having to drop a ton of money on supplies preferably!)


Heather, sorry about your contest experience...that really stinks. You had some awesome ideas!

What an awesome contest!

Hmmmm... you definitely need a giant picture from back in the day and one from now. What about saying "The boys are back... all together again on one stage" And you need Giant NKOTB or New Kids on the Block. I will keep thinking and see what else I can come up with!

 

[N&B'smom]

So, by now Crystal has hugged Jordan! I can't wait to hear all about it.

 

[ilovefh]

The concert was great, except for the completely wasted girl sitting behind me. I watched her half the time making sure she didn't puke on me! She was so drunk she fell down the stairs! She was a mess! Her friend was ignoring her, and the cops were behind her watching her! I have to admit it took away from the show because I kept checking to make sure I was not going to get thrown up on!

But on to the show. Our seats were on the right side of the stage right in front of the platform they stand on. Pretty good seats for last minute and only $40. Funny thing is the people across the aisle from us paid double what we paid and their view was no better than ours!

The show was great! I agree that Joe's solo is great! Donnie caught a thong, which...yuck! All in all it was a great show!

Our mission for next week is to get next to stage B. I don't care if I have to stand there for the whole concert! It appeared last night it was just a free for all as far as who stood there, where as in Boston the first time you had to win it. So we're hoping that we can get up front for stage B!

Each show I have seen has been great for different reasons. Boston was great because it was my first show and I was so excited I had goose bumps! Atlantic City was great because it was an adventure driving down there and waiting at the casino all day plus we got to be 4 people from the stage. Portland was great because it was last minute fun and we were so close. (I'm sure Joe looked at me!) And Manchester next week.

Is it wrong that it will be my fourth concert since Sept? Ha ha! And we definitely plan on summer shows!

Now I can't wait to hear about the 5*!

I think it would be cute to draw a huge map of the US/Canada/Europe and do a little dotted path with a bus and plane along it to show their "route" for their tour so far and you could put a picture of them and the info on the map in the city for the concert you're entering for.

I want to try and do a 5* and by the time it's my turn, my makeup will probably be running down my face!! I'm hoping for more arenas. The ampitheater we have is ok but...I just can't imagine that concert with the lawn seating and where would they put the B stage?? The seats inside don't move!

So glad you did not get thrown up on! And so happy that you got to go. Sounds like a great show. I know what you mean about each one being different. I am super excited for the one that I have coming up next month even though I just saw one!

Donnie caught a thong? Ick. I really hope it was a clean one! He kind of grosses me out sometimes when he smells them! Love him anyway!

 

[jenny105]

Donnie caught a couple of bras at my show. The crowd in Hershey was kind of weak. The girls behind me were just standing there with their arms crossed and the girls in front of me left to get a beer just as the boys were taking the B Stage...which was right in front of us!! What's up with that?

 

[hmdavid]

I have yet another contest to enter for 5*. The other pop station in DSM is giving away a pair now. sadie is SUPER busy this week preparing for a community theather production that she is in, so this one is falling on me. I have to answer this question... Why do you want to meet NKOTB? OK, doesn't seem so hard, but I need it to be short, sweet and really catchy. Any more brilliant ideas?

Melody and Karen... have you decided if you are going to the party with the Barbie Girls in Champaign? My friend is flying in from Denver (to DSM) on the 4th and we REALLY considered driving to Champaign to go to the party and the concert. Then I snapped back to reality!!! Would have been great to meet you girls, though!!! If you are going to the party I will tell Kim and Alexis to be on the look out for you and give you a hug from me!!!

Thanks! I'm glad to especially since I was sick already! It would not have been pretty.

And the thong...he did (pretend I hope) smell it. There is just no way!
