Jordan! Jordan! Jordan! Jordan!
Jordan! Jordan! Jordan! Jordan!
YAY! Hee. ^_^ I am so happy right now. I've just come from one of the best concerts ever. It took me back to the day! That's right! Back. In. The. Day. Backin the day when New Kids On The Block was a fashion statement. Back to a time when every fan wanted to have the Right Stuff, when every NKOTB fangirl wanted Jonathan, Jordan, Danny, Donnie, or Joseph (or all five if you swung that way *blushes* which I didn't 'cause I was like nine *blushes some more*) to ask "Won't you Be My Girl?", and when every fan wanted to have a Funky Funky Christmas.
I wore my New Kids banner proudly for many many years. I was such a die hard fan (still am) and when they reunite I am definitely goin' to that concert. Well I'll going if I can afford it and if I can find my way. Seriously, my sense of direction is so bad I get lost when I turn my head (Oh alright! I have slightly better navigational skills than that). Hopefully, they won't have their reunion concert for a couple of years because right now I'm so poor my boogers and snot have to hang a "Will work for food" sign off my nose.
New Kids On The Block was my very first concert. I still have the ticket stub and the concert book my Mom bought for me as a souvenir. I can still remember it to this day (not that I'm like 80 or anything). I sat in the balcony (waaaaaay in the back, but who cares 'cause I was there) with my Mom and brother Jeremy. Jeremy and I just sat there and my Mom actually had to show us how to wave our hands in the air and rock to the music. I remember Jeremy, Mom and I standing at the balcony handrail (our seats were the first row in the balcony). I also remember that I could barely see my boyzies (well okay not mine, but I can pretend can't I?) and we had to share this pair of binoculars (otherwise the members of the NKOTB looked like little ant people). The first part of my very first concert was great, but then a bunch of teenage girls shoved me aside and I couldn't see any of the New Kids for most of the rest of the concert. My Mom tried to steer Jeremy and I (two poor shrimpy little kids (well compared to the teens)) to the front again, and eventually toward the end she succeeded and I got to see the New Kids On The Block once again before they took their final curtain call.
Ah yes, my first concert was a night to remember. One of the best parts after the concert was being the center of attention at school the following day. I was the kid everyone picked on (from grammar through high school) and for one day the teasing stopped and I wore a smile on my face.
Oh and to this day I swear I met Jordan Knight in person the very next day after my very first concert. I was home from school (Jeremy and I got to skip school the day after the concert because we got home way past our bedtimes) and I heard this knock on our door. I go to open it and standing in front of me is Jordan Knight and a tour bus was parked in front of our house. Jordan needed directions because they had gotten lost and (as luck would have it) had ended up on our street. Did I squeal? Nope. My brain was having trouble believing that I could have the good fortune to actually meet one of my heroes in person. Did I do anything to reveal that I was a huge fan and would have given anything to meet all of his bandmates? Not even a fangirl giggle slipped past my mouth. What did I do when he asked for directions? I said that I didn't know how to get where he was going, pointed my finger to my next door neighbor's house and said "But I bet my neighbor knows". He said "thanks" and I said "You're Welcome" and then I closed the door. I'm pretty sure I didn't close it on his face, but I might have. Even if he was one of my favorite stars in the world he was still a stranger to me and I wasn't supposed to talk to strangers. I wasn't supposed to answer the door either which was why I was so anxious to close the door back up and lock it. If only I had been brave enough to ask for an autograph. I did eventually get my autograph years later. He was opening for *NSYNC and had autographed some copies of his new CD and I practically shoved my brother (who was kind enough to endure the *NSYNC concert for me) and asked him to buy me one of the autographed cds. Someday however I'd like to get his (and the rest of the former members of NKOTB's)autograph in person because otherwise it's just not the same.
Anyway I was one of those geeks who listened to New Kids non-stop years after they went out of style. During the day I read my New Kids books, watched the cartoons, and played with my Jonathan doll. Then each night when I was tucked into bed I snuggled up with my New Kids On The Block sleeping bag.
I loved every single one of the New Kids songs. Ever since they found a place in my heart I have not found a single musical act where I loved every song. Some have come close, but none have truely taken my heart away like the New Kids did. So, from now until forever New Kids will always be #1 in my heart.

Geez I am so long winded. I haven't even gotten to last night's concert. The concert (in the BlueChip Casino's Grand Ballroom) started off with some hip hop and rap. There were these two guys who sang first (I kept missing their names) and then Mic One came onstage. Then Jeff Timmons (of 98 degrees) sang some songs including I do and The Hardest Thing. OMG He is so hawt! *droolz* When Jeff was done it was time for JORDAN! YAAAAAAAAAY! You're still just as sexay as evah <3 *blows kisses* ^_^ The entire concert was standing room only and I was maybe fifteen feet from the stage (if even that). Jordan sang some of his songs as well as some of the NKOTB songs including step by step. Even though I didn't scream and mostly stood there watching him intently (I can't help it, I like to observe and I like to study the beat of the music) I had a blast. I even got lots of pictures and with the zoom feature some of the pics look like he and Jeff were looking right at me. Yep I'm happy. ^_^
Well gosh! I feel so guilty. I wrote up a gigantic memory post from my first concert, but the poor concert from last night only got a little paragraph. *strokes and pets the recent concert's paragraph to make it feel better* Anyway yep great concert. It was one of the best birthday presents I've ever received (my birthday was a week prior to the concert). My Mom even bought me Jordan's CD The Fix as a kickass souvenir. After the concert ended (and before we left to go home) we sat for a few minutes (to ease our aching feet) then Mom and I went into the Bluechip Casino and I ended up winning eight dollars from the nickel slots.
OH MY GOSH! I just had a thought. Some day in the future New Kids Music will be played on the oldies stations! O_O Well, then maybe they'll get together again (like the members of the beach boys) when they're really old and do more get-together concerts. Of course if they ever get together when they've all got gray/white hair they'll have to rename themselves to "OLD FOGEYS 'ROUND THE CORNER" Bwhahahahaaa! ^_~
A splendidly spectacular evening was had.
