N.K.O.T.B.

Okay, I've reverted back to being a 12 year old this week. I heard on the radio that New Kids on the Block have apparently reunited with all original members (Jordan, Jonathan, Donnie, Joey, and Danny, yes I know them!) and are going out on tour to support a new single and album. Is anyone else sort of excited by this. The first thing that popped into my head was "Where do I get tickets." And then the second thing that popped in was, "Beverly, you're 3errrr, 28 years old and you are getting excited about a boy band." But can we still call them a boy band when one of them is pushing 40. So anyway it got me thinking about how I knew all the words to all thier songs,(probably still can do a mean kereoke to "I'll Be Loving You") and had posters plastered on all my walls. I even saw them in concert 3 times. Once at Six Flags, once at the Kiel, and once at the old Busch Stadium. Oh puppy love.

Every one had there favorite. Mine was Jonathan. My best friend at the time, Jennifer Baldwin, loved Joey. We'd spend all our time memorizing lyrics and dance steps, yeah we rocked it! So tonight I'm gonna break out the old tapes, yes I still have them, and relive my youth. And maybe if I can someone to go with me, buy NKOTB concert tickets!
