Just get on the floor and do the New Kids Dance! I think everyone at the Qwest, young and old, was doing just that. I was a huge NKOTB freak; I had an entire wall in my bedroom devoted to them, posters and magazines and whatnot. I even made my friends take their picture in front of it and sent them to the band. My favorite was Danny; I remember once Christmas I was so mad because my grandma had gotten me the Jon doll, not Danny. After seeing Jon performing last night, I'd say the doll had more personality and spunk. He went through the motions of the steps and whatnot, he sang along, but he also spent more time laughing and mocking his bandmates than entertaining the audience. Except I found that entertaining, so I guess he connected with one person.
My 12-year self was in heaven last night; our seats were initially at the very top of hte bowl, but they moved us since a closer section right next to the stage didn't sell out. We had a great view of the front and back of stage--I got to see Donnie making out with one of their Pussycat Dolls backup dancer. Very serious stuff people!
They played all their old hits, and then I think most of their new cd--they played for almost 2 1/2 hours straight, plus had time for Jordan,Joey and Donnie to do some of their solo stuff, which was cool. Except most of us didn't realize they had solo stuff. And they had at least 6 costume changes, which ranged from jackets with hats to Celtics jerseys to all white outfits to sweet silver jackets. And the people watching was in great form; some girls were wearing those huge pins we used to have, and some others made shirts--very fun. My personal favorite was the girl in the toga made from NKOTB sheets--very classy!
Blogger isn't letting me post any photos right now, but hopefully after this weekend I can get some on here.
In other news, we move tomorrow, so that means crunch time tonight to get our painting and packing done. My eye won't quit twitching from the stress, so the concert was a good stress reliever. One more day, one more day... :)
