New Kids On The Block!

Okay so a couple of you guys, hello Lauryn ~ glad you found my blog!, have referenced my New Kids on the Block song on my play list. There is a story behind it, and I feel compelled to share it. I am a product of the late 80's and early 90's so therefore my music taste are rooted there along with my affinity (although I do try and suppress it) to big hair. I had some big hair! Anyway, my junior year of high school New Kids came to LR. I liked their music but wasn't going to stand in line to get tickets. My dad however, heard that this band was coming to town that all the girls were in love with, so without me knowing he went! (My dad has always spoiled me rotten!)Martha was spending the night with me that night (as was the usual custom), and he woke us up that morning flashing 4 tickets. We were totally surprised and excited. In high school, there were 4 of us who were totally inseparable, and since my boyfriend wasn't going to be caught dead there, we four girls went. It was one of the best times of my life. We had a blast and laughed and screamed and sang for the hours of the concert, and the hours following. It was great. The funny thing about it was that Martha and Kelly were the calm ones of the group and they were the ones screaming the loudest. Jessica and I were in total shock at them and were unusually less vocal. It was such a great night. I am going to go through my old pictures and find the ones of that night. I told Martha that if they really do go back out on tour we are so going! Hopefully, it will be after Jessica moves home from Rwanda, and who knows we may have found Kelly again by then. Those girls made high school so awesome and I love them dearly! So, enjoy the music. I hope that it takes you to a fun place in your history and remember ~ New Kids FOREVER!
