Ok, here it goes. Lets talk about the NKOTB night, shall we? Yep, so like I explained on Facebook. In March we (Allen, Bobbi, Yvonne, Jer, Alex, Katelyn, Jonny & I) went out for Allens birthday. They had music, and dancing that included a DJ. Well, I was the only one out of our party who was dancing on the dance floor. Ok, ok, to be honest I was the only one on the dance floor for almost 2 whole songs. I'm serious people its a problem, music makes me a fool... and no, I wasn't drinking. Anyyyway, the DJ was goin' around asking people 80's trivia questions, and giving out random tickets, most of which were ski resort type tickets. So, there was a point when she asked "What was the first name of Colombo?" Yvonne pulls me to her and say's "Tell her BEN!!" Ok, so I walk over, well ok, I danced over to her and said "BEN!!" This is when the DJ looks at me like I am an idiot and says, "no, close though." Ok, whatever. So, then Allen googles it and says "Jen, tell her Benjamin." So I do, and that was when she says "Yes! You are right, here are two tickets to New Kids on the Block!!" So I said "Yvonne and I are going, because she had the answer, and I was the idiot dancin' by myself, yellin' out right, and sorta wrong answers! Which brings me to the real story:
Ok, this was taken out in front of the show after the show, I shoulda taken it before but I didn't. Honestly I thought that the women in this car were just being funny, and silly when they put this on the back of their VW Bug. Well it turns out that these woman where a few of the MANY, MANY women who were die hard NKOTB fans!! Wow, its serious business people. SERIOUS!!
So just to give you an idea this is when we were walking into the Honda Center in Anaheim. Just a few of the middle aged die hard fans, gettin' ready to throw their bra's and what not on to the stage.. ok, ok to be fair I didn't actually see any bra's, or anything else being thrown at the guys on stage, but I really wouldn't have been surprised if I did see this!
So this is the view from where we were seated. Yes it is VERY high up, but to be fair we didn't pay for these tickets, and you can't really complain about that, now can ya? nope!
So, the person that opened for the concert was this handsome guy, Mathew Morrison. You know the teacher from Glee. Now, he was a VERY good singer, no lip singing, very good! Although I thought it was pretty funny, that he would sing his rendition of "Here's to you Mrs. Robinson" to a bunch of midlife housewives, waiting for their childhood crushes to come out and give em a show. I don't know it just struck me funny! Any who, he was good, but what impressed me the most and made me a real fan was the fact that his back up dancers/singers were not skinny little model types, but real woman, full figured women. Thats what I'm talkin' about Mr. Morrison!!
Ok, now here is where the madness starts, people!! Mathew was done, and the lights come up and you have a few minutes to reflect on the vocals and dancing of the first little show. THEN, the lights go out, and the place goes NUTS!!!!!! NUTS, I tell ya!!! Women were screaming, and I had to look around to see if their were anyone fainting and falling the 100 stories down towards there fantasy men!! Fortunately there were no fainting, but just a lot of screaming, and clawing of one another yelling "OH MY GOSH THEIR COMING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I wish I had bolder caps, because I'm tellin' ya, it was defining!! whew!
So once they come out on stage.... Oh, and I forgot to mention that Backstreet Boys were there right along side of them singin' as well! These women were frantic over them too. Especially Nick Carter (apparently they didn't see the little reality show with him and his brother and how... well lets just say strange and full of himself he was).
In fact, I'm not sure if you can see this picture very well, but they are glow in the dark signs with the names of the guys in the band. Yes, there were signs everywhere! The little bright pink one was a heart, with "Nick" on it spelled in glitter. Some woman (remember we are talking about woman between the ages of Ohhhh, I'd say 30 and 45) were dressed in neon t-shirts with writing on of both bands, matching the girlfriend next to her. I am really, really sorry that I didn't have my bright orange t-shirt with NKOTB on it, with my giant button, and NKOTB hat, holding a giant sign with "I LOVE YOU JON!!!! I would have LOVED to see my sisters face.. dang, it woulda been priceless!! (Oh yeah, by the way I liked the one that turned out to be the one who didn't like females lol.)
Ok, where was I, ok once Yvonne and I got over the shock of the screaming women, freaking out over these guys, we started to watch the show. Let me just tell ya, that they were really good! They all had great voices, and I was very impressed at their live performance.
Oh yeah, they had it all! Lights, fire, explosions, streamers! It was quit a show!
There were two stages, and they both rose off the floor. Pretty cool, right?
Ok, here's the kicker, this is Donny Wahlberg on the big screen. Now, at this moment they have the camera on his face, but if you saw it in real time you would see, his face, his crotch, his face, his crotch. Why? Because they did A LOT of hip thrusting... A LOT. Now, every time they did their thrusting, all of Honda Center, would go CRAZY!!! These women, were 16 again (12/13 if you were me ;)) Yeah, anyway it was just another thing that mad me chuckle. Needless to say, Yvonne and I left the Honda Center not able to hear so well. whew! It was a fun night full of laughs, and some awkwardness. Its always fun when I get together with Yvonne, though. We had fun visiting, talking and laughing!! NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK!!!!!! oh, sorry I had a flash back.
