last nite, due to the request of a few girlfriends, i wound up attending the NKOTB concert last nite. (that's New Kids On The Block for those of you who were born after 1994). 14 years later the OG boy band have recorded another CD and currently on tour. granted, i wound up getting the tickets (bc my uncle has a platinum amex card which granted us access to better seats..can we say section 5 on the floor!). i remembered to having liked them back in the days. i remember we had to be all clandestine about it bc we were deemed to old to still like them when they obviously disbanded. (jr/sr year of hs). i remember having the tapes (i think?) but i must have thrown them out somewhere down the line (how blasphemous!). but MY GOD. like totally OH-EM-GEE, i was so totally amused last nite.
not only was 99% of the the audience female members but holy crap, i've never seen women go so crazy before. i dont even think a Christian Louboutin sample sale will solicit that kind of effect. my gf's were also part of the majority who went bonkers. (the remaining 1% were gay or men who were dragged by the gf/wife). it got to a point where one "woman" took off her top to get "facetime" on the jumbo-tron. she was in her bra for all of MSG to see. it was definitely an interesting experience...of the 6 of us that went, 5 of them are with sore throats. guess who doesn't have the sore throat. yup, you guessed it, ME. i think i spent 50% of the time looking around at all the people in the audience.
lesson learned? gentlemen, if NKOTB go on tour again, i suggest you go with your female friends. SOOOOO many women. i know, i know...you might not like the way some of the fans turned out with age. HAHAHA.
some pics:

afterwards, i went to go sleep at my cousin's place(she did not attend the concert with me). this morning, she made me breakfast to go (breakfast bagel sandwich). *sniff* my lil cousin is all grown up. ps: my lil cousin is turning 24. something wrong with that picture huh? the 30 yr is going to a NKOTB concert and the 24 yr old is making the 30yr old breakfast. hahaha
