That's usually the case. How does one have a job where they can be wrong so much?

Have a great trip!!!!

Did Joey go solo for a little or did I imagine that??

That is annoying that they are last minute with their annoucements!! Grrr... Oh well. Have you seen anything about whether Boyz II Men would be joining them for sure or not?

I got rid of most of my BSB stuff too and I want to kick myself for that!! I would kill to have all that stuff back!!

He did have a couple solo songs that were big. He's made quite a few solo albums. I saw him when he did a show in NYC by himself. I was so close.

I've heard the rumors about Boyz II Men but nothing has been confirmed yet. That actually would be pretty awesome.

I'd looooove to have all my NKOTB stuff back. My cousin found a bunch of his sister's NKOTB stuff in the attic and said I could have it. But that was like two months ago and it never happened!

Hi everyone!

3 more weeks to go! I'm so excited. I can't believe how quickly this trip is coming up. I can't wait to board that plane and be on my way!

So, how was everyone's weekend? On Saturday the weather was gorgeous and Kris and I went to Musicfest, which is a free concert in the park. The headliner was Train and that's who I really wanted to see (I have yet to get sick of 'Hey Soul Sister') but they weren't on until 8:30. We got there around 1:30 because Kris wanted to see Soul Asylum (remember them?). They were really good! We were pretty close to the stage and I got some decent shots (with my new camera!).

I wasn't nearly that close for Train. The place got more and more crowded as the day went on and we spent the time in between walking around and hanging out at the beer tent. The stage looked like this from that area.

Train was good, though I don't think Kris enjoyed them. He's not a fan. But it was good of him to come with me and wait around for them. There were also rides and a bunch of concession stands and 2 other stages plus a DJ. Bands alternated between stages, Ok Go and the Bravery also played sets throughout the day. Oh and has anyone every had mozzarella cheese and cornbread? I've never seen that before and I tried it. Not bad, a little sweet. Kris got sick of it after about 2 bites after saying how good it was.

Yesterday was, of course, the first Sunday of football. Kris was watching the games all day with his roommates so I met up with my friends for little awhile at a local bar for some pizza and wings. I'm not a huge football fan but I can watch it, it holds my interest. Baseball is the sport that bores me to tears. (Sorry baseball fans!) I was happy the Packers won cause that means Kris is happy (he's a Packers fan). Plus it's always nice to see a team from Philly lose (sorry Philly fans!). I'm more a hockey girl and looking forward to when that starts up. First Rangers game is the day I get back from Florida! And no, I didn't plan that. Here's a pic of me and my friends.

The girl in the blue Giants jersey is Katie, she is going to Florida the same week as me with her boyfriend Dave, who is in the background looking at his phone. My friend Annemarie (the blonde behind Katie) is also going to be there the same week we are. It'll be fun to hang out with them down in Disney.

I just ordered my new phone. Happy (early) birthday to me! I got an LG Rumor Touch. I can't wait until it gets here. I've never had a phone like that before. My current phone gets the web but its old and super slow so I don't even use it. Be on the lookout for lots of Facebook and Twitter posts from Disney!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Sorry, not a big Train fan here but I LOVE OkGo!!!!

I hear ya on baseball being THE most boring sport on the face of the earth, and it's my DH's favorite. Snooze fest. We watch football all day every Sunday. We have DirecTV's Sunday ticket, so we can watch 8 games at once! I'm in my DH's fantasy football league, so we usually have the computer right next to us too.

That's so awesome that you'll have friends you can see at Disney. I have quite the growing list of possible DIS meets!

 

[Simba22]

OK I'm on the computer at work (which blocks everything) and can't see pictures but I can comment at least!

I love OkGo and I really like Train, too! That sounds like a fun day! I haven't been to a concert since 2007 when I saw Aerosmith and Joan Jett (unless, of course, you count seeing Off Kilter... )


And I hear ya on the baseball thing! My WHOLE family is baseball fans and I can't stand it! I love football but the older I get, the more inconvenient it becomes to watch. It either conflicts with another show on TV or I'm just too busy.

I can't believe your down to 3 weeks!!!! I've got 5 more to go!

Geez, I thought you were cool then you had to go hatin' on my Eagles

I'm ok if I go to a baseball game, as long as it doesn't go into extra innings. If it does, I want to cry. It's just TOO long. Those games can go on forever. I don't know how people watch it on tv. zzzzzzzzzz

Kris has DirecTV's Sunday ticket too. I don't know what he'd do without it!

I wish we were going around the same time so we could have a DIS meet!

I linked the pictures from the facebook so that's why they're probably blocked.

Sure, we can count Off Kilter! I go to concerts all the time. I've been to 4 or 5 this summer. I live like 5 min from a concert venue though so it helps being so close!

Your Mickey Mail should be coming soon!

Sorry girl!

Free concerts are the best. We love to listen to live music. Sounds like a fun weekend

All this sport talk makes me happy I married a nerd. We dont watch any sports, but I do have to put in a few hours on the Xbox every now and then I must add I'm getting pretty good at shooting Zombies lol

Did we marry the same guy? Sounds just like my DH. We play more Xbox than we watch sports (except Hockey) and I've found that Left 4 Dead (another Zombie game!) is quite the stress reliever.

Jenny- I feel like you just started planning for the trip yesterday! So excited it's almost here!

Too cool about the free concert! I love Train's new song on the radio! I saw them on the Today Show the other day and it's so weird to see how OLD they all look.

Girl, I totally understand about Baseball.. I wish I could get into it but I just can't. Football is okay but there about a million other things I'd rather be doing. And I'm so PUMPED for Hockey Season!!

Can't wait to hear about the new phone!

Left 4 Dead is the game I was talking about! It really ends up being addictive. When I first started playing I would get dizzy and not now how to shoot ANYTHING. I would just spin in circles shooting anything that came my way (including teamates ..people online didnt like that too much)

It definitely was. I love concerts

Well, he's still a nerd even if he is a football fan. (Just kidding honey if you're reading this!) He plays video games too. Recently he found his old Nintendo (the original) and he's been trying to find games for that.

I know! I can't believe how quickly the trip is coming up. 20 day mark today!

I love Pat Monahan's (the lead singer of Train) voice. It's so good! But they are pretty old.

I can't wait for hockey season. The pre-season games start next week and I usually don't bother watching them unless there's nothing else on but I may tune in to see the love of my life...I mean, our goalie Henrik Lundqvist.

My new phone was shipped today!

I do that too! Those arcade shoot em up games, where there are civilians and you're supposed to be shooting bad guys or aliens or whatever. I end up shooting the civilians cause I rapid fire at anything I see.

OMG that's us too! I used to watch football a lot before we met, but now, we sit around playing video games...I have to say, it's a lot more fun! If your team loses, you just start over!

I am TERRIBLE at First Person Shooters (Call of Duty and Left 4 Dead for example.....I just keep spinning in circles!), but Resident Evil 5 is like an Over the Shoulder view and I got REALLY good at that one! I want to play it over and over just because it's the only game I'm really good at (besides Mario Kart!)
