hangin' tough in my visor.

I'm still slightly confused by the fact that the New Kids on the Block are reuniting and going on tour. I'm back and forth on whether I want to try to get tickets. But I'm leaning towards no, because why would I really want to see them except for nostalgia sake? And even if I tried to get tickets when they go on sale, I'd probably have no luck because I'm sure Ticketmaster doesn't really have any tickets and the scalpers all already have them and will sell them at outrageous prices. However, I'm sure it would be ridiculously fun to see them again. Yes, again. I attended their first tour and it was obviously a huge blast. Then again, I was only 8 year old.


Umm yeah. I unfortunately didn't have any NKOTB gear at the time but I was sure to wear my rainbow Denver visor and my Tweety Bird sunglasses. Also note that the 4 of us had no less then 3 pairs of Fisher Price binoculars between us. So glad to see my sister looking beautiful in white (she's also wearing a Swatch watch). My friend and her brother? I don't really keep in touch with her, but she'd probably kill me for posting this picture online. Her glasses are like whoa. And the girl next to me, her jeans are pretty classic. Then again, everyone in this picture is.

Kinda makes me want to go back an experience it again...this time sans Tweety Bird. Maybe.

That picture is hilarious :)

I would imagine they won't be as good as they were (or as you remember them), so why ruin the memory?

hahahaha omg susie, that is an amazing picture. i never heard new kids on the block. i think my "generation" missed them slightly. i did, however, have a new kids on the block sleeping bag!

Its still up in the air if I will be attending. I remember my NKOTB concert. I wore my hip guess jeans with holes in them and a NKOTB white sweatshirt with fluroscent all over the place. Those were the days... I must have wore a slap bracelet too.

oh man i seriously want to see them in concert. my mom wouldn't let me see them when they first toured because i was only 8 (apparently your mom was much cooler, haha). so now i am determined! :)

I guess if the spice girls can pull it off, why not NKOTB?? And you know you need a little more joey mcintire in your life! Great pic by the way....brave. ;)

I had NKOTB sheets when I was little and I used to tell my friends that whoever's head I fell asleep on I would have a dream about...

Yoda said...

NKOTB? Now OFOTB (old farts on the block)!
