So a couple of months ago I heard that New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) were back and touring again. I really didn't think much about it, until my sister called and said they were coming to Atlanta on Oct. 29th. She asked if I would go with her, as she had already bought the tickets. I said yes, why not, it would be something fun for us to do together. I have never been to a rock concert, so this would be my first (except for seeing Clearwater Credence Revival after a hockey game once) real rock concert.
I was embarrassed to admit I was going to a NKOTB concert, and so I didn't really tell anybody that I was going. As our church was having "Truck or Treating" that night, I just said I had a thing with my sister. (Of course, this did not prevent my husband from telling everyone that night exactly where I was!!)
The concert was at the Gwinnett Civic Center, so we found a restaurant close by (an Irish pub styled place), and it was packed full of mid-thirty women going to the concert!! Some girls were really reliving their teenage years by dressing for Halloween a little early. I didn't get a picture, but a few even had the "eighties" look and cut-off sweatshirts that read: "Mrs. Jordon Knight" and "Mrs. Joey McIntyre". One group wore black t-shirts (like you see guys painted at football games) each girl spelling out: I "Heart shape" NKOTB!!
The concert was insane!!, but so much FUN! Everyone was screaming crazy, dancing around, and having a great time.
So my confession: I went, and I loved it!! We had a great time. And yes, not only did I really like their music, but I still enjoy it now. So by the end of the night, I was gladly living out a teenage dream of seeing NKOTB live in concert.

You are too cute. Did you know that John went and saw NKOTB back when they were popular? He had a girlfriend that loved them, so he went with her. He always said he didn't enjoy it, but I have a feeling that he did.
I wish I could have been there with you.
I'm jealous! :) I saw them twice when I was in middle school and would've loved to have seen them again. :)

Call me sometime! Our phone number is still 281-303-5160. It's an american phone line, so you can call for free. We are 13 hours ahead of you, so just do the math and don't call in the middle of the night! Ha! Love you guys! I don't have your new phone number, unless it hasn't changed since you moved, so it's up to you to call!
Don't be ashamed Rebecca! It's ok to like boy bands. :) I went to an NSYNC concert in high school and loved it too. I'm glad to hear you guys got moved in.
