A night with NKOTB

In the words of Oswald: "Oh my gosh!" What a night! What a birthday present/get-away! WoW!! Yes, I went old school - if you know me, you've known since May that I would. There really are no words to describe the concert these guys give. The energy, the love for the fans, the appreciation that they show, it truly makes you believe that having you there in that arena is important to them. That without YOU being in that crowd, the concert just wouldn't have been the same. Ok so maybe that last part is a stretch, seeing as it was a sold-out concert and I'm sure another abled body would have glady occupied my seat and NKOTB wouldn't have known the difference.....

The pics I have arent that great. I didn't take my camera because, well, it was printed on the ticket not to - long story short - I realize that every arena isnt as picky as the Bilo Center and I'll take it everytime from now on....

No, our seats werent THAT close - they came out to a little "turn-style" table in the middle and it happened to be RIGHT in front of us! So awesome! These two particular pictures were taken during their song Dirty Dancing (one of the new ones). They sang A LOT of their old songs and it was great to see that I was not the only one left in this world who could sing right along with them word for word :o) There is one thing I feel the need to mention and ladies please dont take this the wrong way, but: I have never seen sooooooooo many middle-aged women in one place in my life!!!!! And on top of that, there was not a single cat fight or scratch during the entire event! There were about maybe 10 men there and I think its a testament to our gender. Try having a night like that with that many men and beer and 5 hot ladies in one place! LOL !

It reallly was a great get-away! and I got to do it with my Bestfriend who, by the way, is not a NKOTB fan! At least not like I am ;o) But she loved me enough to make my 30th birthday special and I gotta tell ya it was, especially since our hotel room had a 4ft deep tub in it!!!! LOL I'll blog about our "upgrade luck" later.... Also a BIG thank you to my boyfriend! While my bestfriend bit the bullet and went with me - he did buy my ticket and give me money for the trip. He really is the greatest guy and after being there, I really can't blame him for not accompanying me - besides it was definitely "Ladies night out!!!"

To top it off we stopped in Commerce on the way home yesterday and at Longhorns for a birthday lunch. Don't really remember what I had for lunch but this was our desert..... Not really sure what they called it on the menu, but I like to refer to it as a"Heavenly Sinful Delight." Once again -in the words of my favorite blue octopus: "Oh My Gosh!"
