DISer chapter of NKOTB anonymous, part deux... we don't want an intervention!!!

[hmdavid]

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?

I read on the other boards that the crowds in the last couple of cities were kind of weak. I still think they booked too many shows too close together and it has affected crowd levels. Des Moines still has decent floor tickets available. They are on the Iowa/Illinois border a few days before. If they would have just left off one of those shows, then everyone would have travelled and they could have filled the arena. I think maybe they are trying to give everyone a chance to see them this time around, and the $$$ are secondary.

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

EWWWWWW

I agree with you guys. The crowd was a bit weak last night. There was a lot of screaming, but it wasn't as sold out as I thought it would be! But having a show in Portland and Manchester, less than two hours apart, definitely helps in making the crowds smaller!

A side note, my friend's boyfriend who was so great to buy her a ticket mentions to me at lunch the other day "I still think you girls should go on the cruise" So I told him he only needs to donate $3500 to the cause and we could go. For some reason he was not into that. Darn teacher's salaries!

There was screaming at the show I was at but it would die out the second they left the stage for a costume change. I guess I'm used to shows around the NYC area. The show at MSG, the crowd drowned the boys out during some songs!! I'm hoping the sales don't affect their decision to do a summer tour.

Why wasn't he into that? C'mon, it was practically his idea!! My sister and I were considering it but there's absolutely no way. I can afford the airfare and spending money but not the cruisefare itself!!

I think it was like that last night too. A much calmer vibe. I was surprised how many people were walking around during the concert. But, last show I saw was in AC, and once you were in the GA section you didn't leave! Those girls were brutal and would not let you back!

I was surprised by the number of men there last night. I love DH but it would be a total waste of money to bring him!

And how can he suggests we go...and then not pay for it? I was shocked! When I told DH about what he said he immediately said he needs to call him so that her boyfriend will run things by him before he makes these outlandish suggestions! Ha ha!

Yeah, I know what you mean. When the girls in front of me left to go get drinks, I wanted to be like 'what's wrong with you?' They missed all 3 of the songs on the B Stage, which was closer to our seats than the main stage!

A girl that was next to me came with her boyfriend. She was jumping up and down the whole time and he was just sitting there. I told my DBf he's not allowed to go to the shows with us. He has no problem with that! I think he saw enough watching the video I took on my digi-cam.

Maybe he & DH can donate money to the cause together!

I felt the same way when I was watching the very drunk girl! You paid all this money to see NKOTB and you won't even remember it in the morning!

While DH is great and encourages me to go see them as many times as possible, he has NO interest in them. In fact he was psyched to have a night alone to play his video games! He is very thankful that one of my closest friends is a big NKOTB fan too!

And I think an NKOTB cruise is a perfectly wonderful cause for a fundraiser! Spaghetti dinner anyone?

So, I saw over on the crazy boards that a radio station in Cincinnati announced that NKOTB was going to be there on June 27, but the "official" announcement would be made 4/4. So, maybe they will realease their summer dates on 4/4...if the radio person knows what they're talking about.

Karen - Cinci is less than 2 hrs away if they don't come to Indy! We gotta do the 5* if we don't get face time by luck in Champaign!

Seriously, I agree with you! I had a couple beers but I'm not gonna get sloshed and be like 'Wait? I saw NKOTB?' You're exactly right, it's a waste of money!

My sister is my NKOTB companion. I have to get my cousin to a show. I got her a ticket the first time around but she was sick and couldn't go last minute. She was just as obsessed as any of us!

I'll help with the fundraiser. I want to go too!

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!!!

Heather - Come on! You should come!!! Maybe you could still find some front row seats on TM. I'm thinking we probably will try to make an appearance at the party, maybe not the whole time, but at least to check it out. Just tell your friends I will be wearing my "I FELL FOR THE BOYS FROM THE CITY" shirt and to look for us.

That sounds like us from the fall. I bought 4 tickets to my first show in Boston. Myself, my sister, my good friend, Shelby, and my other friend's son, Mike. A few weeks before the show Shelby backs out because her boyfriend (Mike's brother) wants to take her to Connecticut for the Emerald Society picnic. Well since she wasn't going Mike backed out because he was just going because he liked Shelby. Yikes! That was an odd love triangle!

I spent the night sending her pictures of the concert and telling her I hope it was the best picnic of her life because the show was awesome! The next day when I was telling her about it she was so upset she missed it that we decided to trek down to Atlantic City. Now she has a great, wonderful and supportive boyfriend who would never ask her to miss an NKOTB concert! Ha ha!

Odd love triangle indeed! How did that work out?? We should all feel lucky that the guys in our lives deal with the NKOTB obsession. My DBf doesn't get that I have to go see them everytime they come around but he would never ask me not to go!! Though his response to me going on the cruise was: "If you go on that, I'm going on a playmate cruise" Not that same thing!

The odd love triangle actually worked itself out! But it was odd for a bit. Two brothers fighting over one girl. By the way, the girl they were fighting over is a friend of their mother's. We all work together at school!

Oh I'd totally let DH go on a Playmate cruise! Especially if it got me into meeting NKOTB! Ha ha! I'm a giving person like that!

Do you think Crystal is still basking in the glory of her Jordan hug?!?!?!

I had a random thought the other day... ok, most of my thoughts are random ... but I thought they might announce summer tour dates on teh one year anniversary of the reunion announcement. Guess my random thought was right on!!!

I am so UPSET!!! I was just doing my guest blog for ProjectNKOTB about the Baltimore show and was so close to finishing. I tried to delete a photo and the whole darn thing is gone!!! It took me an hour and a half!!! Starting over!

 

[hmdavid]

Do you think Crystal is still basking in the glory of her Jordan hug?!?!?!

Maybe she snuck on the tour bus!!!

I think she said she has to work today, I bet she is one tired Blockhead!

You're a more giving person than I am!

Heather, that stinks about your blog! So annoying. I'm hoping the dates come out on 4/4. That's next week!

 

[Marshmelo]

Just for kicks - let's figure out where would be the mid-point for all of us to meet up for a concert this summer. Who lives the furthest west and who the furthest east? I'm thinking Cincinnati MAY be the spot! So, I know that Karen and I are in mid-Indiana. We need one of those maps we can stick colored pins in for everyone's location, in virtual form

 

[Brae's Mom]

Do you think Crystal is still basking in the glory of her Jordan hug?!?!?!

YES YES YES I am carrying my perma cheese grin around with me. OMG!!!! The friggin man is amazing. I said everything I wanted to say to him. He hugged me three times. He said Oh SNAP to my t-shirt.......AMAZING.

Maybe she snuck on the tour bus!!!

I think she said she has to work today, I bet she is one tired Blockhead!

I didn't sneak on the tour bus. But we waited for them before the show. Will go into much detail about the events transpiring by the buses between my self and one Donnie F'in Wahlberg...........Let me just say the man made me levitate........ I just got home and I am one tired blockhead.

OMG! Cincinnati is like my 2nd home!!



Crystal is on the baby daddy bus!!

No baby daddy bus for me. But I sooooo wish.


Anyway ladies. I am back with my perma cheese grin and I am still on I am going to have to write all about it but I want to get my pics uploaded AND I have to take Braelynn to swim lessons......so I have to leave you in suspense for a little while longer.

But I will leave you with this.......I touched Jordan ALOT..........Donnie and I had a very special moment.........and Jon does indeed give the best hugs (you were right Shelby) and I told him that my friend Shelby told me that he gave the best hugs and she was absolutely right. He blushed and hung his head with a little brush and said "thanks!"

So I have to run now but I am working on writing the story and uploading my 500 photos and my 1 "special" photo!!!!!!!!


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just met the freaking New Kids On the Block and they were all absolutely amazing!!!!!!
