Complete Nostalgia

October 19th, 2008 had been a long time coming. Some old friends came to town, and I'm never one to pass up a reunion.....okay, that's a lie - but I could NOT pass this one up. Joey, Jordan, Jonathan, Danny and Donnie.....known to regular people as New Kids On The Block....invited me and some friends to their show. And by 'invited' I mean their tour manager booked a date in Dallas at AAC and then made tickets available for purchase. That's the same thing, right?

The best thing about it was the tickets were FREE.....and AWESOME. SuperFriends, Dee and Jodi, scored six amazing tickets from some poor souls who do not appreciate mediocre music from THE original boy band. LUCKY US!!!

Can I just tell you, this was the most fun I've had in a while. We started the pre-show at Chuy's for some Mexican food and...well, fun.... There were so many tables filled with women who had not out-grown their love for NKOTB....we were in glad company.

We got to our seats right before the opening act took the stage....it was Natasha Beddingfield. She was FABULOUS....minus her mullet.

And then it happened......the lights went down and women now in there 20's and 30's were screaming as if it were 1993 all over again. It was INSANE, people. I mean, the arena was sold out. Wall to wall females unleashing the love they've had bottled up for 15 years for 5 not-so-young boy-banders who stole their hearts.

Lets just be honest for a second..... these guys (now men) are on tour again because they have probably either incurred some debt, spent their kids' college fund or had to find some way to pay for the messy divorce they are going through. But, I'm so glad they did. It provided a perfect girl's night out.

Here are some pics and video from the awesomeness that is NKOTB......
