Well, Victoria found out that NKOTB was coming back to Atlanta to begin their second/summer tour at the Lakewood Amphitheater. This time, Sarah went with us. The weather was terrible and we were late to the concert. Luckily the rain helped out as NKOTB did not start until we got there (an hour late!!). The concert was a mix of old and new songs, and yes, they do have a new album out. (Check it out on iTunes.) We were suppose to be on the lawn, but they let us move forward into the seats. In fact, we were in a similar location to the stage as last time! We were on the right side towards the back. We were pretty much on the last row of seats. Lucky for us, a bunch of people did not come because of the rain, so we moved ourselves up closer to the stage. We then stood on the seats to get a good view as we were still not that close. I don't know how one of us did not fall off the chairs. What amazed me were the girls in front of us. They were really dancing while standing on the seats and wearing rain boots/goloshes! I also noticed that while most everyone was still mid-thirties women "reliving" their teenage years, there were also younger people there as well. And just like last time, a few guys who looked like they wanted to be anywhere but there!
As we left the concert, there were a bunch of men selling concert T-shirts for $5 on the street! (The same men had been selling umbrella's and poncho's before the concert. We assume the shirts had "fallen off the back of the truck"!!) We each bought one, although Victoria had to buy two because the guy did not have the right change. She tried to exchange with another guy selling a different shirt and he told her she was "tripping". It was so much fun to go to the concert and also to go with my two sisters.
Victoria took the pictures as I did not even bring my camera because of the rain.
