30 Day NKOTB Blog Challenge ~ Day 7

30 day NKOTB challenge / day 07
Have you seen them in concert? How many times?

I have been blessed enough to see them in concert quite a few times since 2009!  Here is a rundown of the shows I have been able to attend!  I am so grateful to have so many wonderful memories!  It's become more  of an excuse to get together with some of my best friends!  The guys are just the added bonus now!  I love the BH family that we have!

June 18, 2009 – Mohegan Sun, CT - Full Service Tour
This was my FIRST NKOTB concert ever!  I honestly thought that this was going to be the first and only New Kids concert that I would go to.  I thought, a fun night out with my girls from work, and then back to my normal life…then they sucked me in!



December 2009 – House of Blues, Boston MA
An impending blizzard couldn’t keep me and my girls from attending this once in a lifetime event!  It was a wonderful, amazing night, complete with a hobbling Jonathan, Joe in a gold sequin jacket, Santa Jordan, and a whole lot of mistletoe magic!  Hearing “Coming Home” live for the first time was unforgettable!


January 2010 – Joe Show, NYC
Something else, Something else!  I made a shirt for the concert that night, in the hopes that Joe would see it, but he never did.  Oh well!  It was great watching Joe perform!  He put on such a great solo show!  The after party was crazy, but it was amusing watching Joe and surprise guest, Jordan perform.  J-Train and the Juice Box!


May 14-17 2010 – Cruise 2010
EPIC!!!!  That pretty much sums it up!  If you’ve read my former blogs and/or seen my picture with Jon in the ocean, you know why it was so epic!


May 21, 2010 – Foxwoods – CasiNO Tour (5* Meet & Greet)
First official meet & greet.  I almost flashed Danny, skipped over Donnie because he was swarmed, Joe was on the phone so no meeting him, went to Jordan, talked about celebrating our birthday on the cruise with him thanks to his brother.  Jon clued in, realized who I was, and said “I remember you!”  He asked me how old I had turned, which made him say “you were like 7 the first time we were big!”  I got one of those famous Jon hugs, which I didn’t want to let go of, and then resulted in some CRAPPY seats…Thanks ILoveAllAccess…. 4* people had better seats than me.  Thank goodness I had a good camera!  The concert was still great, and anytime I can see Jon Knight sing step 5 makes me want to tear up with excitement!  I met some AMAZING women that night, who I am still close to today!  I am blessed for that night, and that group of 5* women!


May 22, 2010 – Foxwoods – CasiNO Tour
4th row seats!  No meet&greet!  My close seats this night, made up for the shitty seats the night before!  So great to have seats that close, and to have a girls night out with my best friend and roommate!


May 29, 2010 – Borgata, Atlantic City, NJ – CasiNO Tour
SURPRISE!!  Jillian and I decide last minute (and without telling our Jersey girls) to buy tickets to the Borgata show.  Of course, then the next day the guys decide to give away tickets.  We understood why when we got to Borgata and the GA floor was pretty empty for the size floor it was.  Another great CasiNO Tour concert, followed by an after party with 4 outta the 5 guys…Jordan came out, waved, and then disappeared!


June 18, 2010 – Radio City Music Hall, NYC – CasiNO Tour
June 19, 2010 – Radio City Music Hall, NYC – CasiNO Tour
BOTH of these shows were amazing!  LOVED playing tour guide to my girls that weekend in NYC and enjoying some great concerts at night!  The best part of the weekend was having my girls, Carin and Laurie there!!


Oct 19, 2010 – Joe Mac & Eman, Joe’s Pub, NYC
Another great Joe Show…a more hysterical one this time around with Eman sharing the stage with Joe!  Also, surprise guest, Donnie, forgetting what lines come next in “2 in the morning”!


May 12 – 16, 2011 – Cruise 2011
Another great weekend in the middle of the ocean with my 5 favorite guys!  Not epic like 2010, but still an unforgettable, fun weekend with my girls!


May 30, 2011 – NKOTBSB Mohegan Sun, CT
The first time witnessing the “penis” stage in all its glory!  An amazing show put on by these two bands!  I was hooked on the tour right from the start of this concert!  This concert was lacking in one very handsome man, Jon. As a Jon girl, I definitely missed him tremendously, but was BEYOND thrilled when he appeared on stage during “Tonight”!

May 31, 2011 – Jordan Knight’s “Unfinished” Album Release
A fun mini-concert with Jordan in NYC celebrating the release of his much anticipated “Unfinished” album.


June 11, 2011 – FENWAY PARK (NKOTBSB Tour)
Two words:  RAINY EPICNESS!!  The most unforgettable, amazing, once in a lifetime event!  Meet & Greet got me 2nd row seats in my favorite place in the world!  I was unsure about what I was more excited about…standing on the field (even if there was a platform between my feet and the grass) or having my favorite 5 guys perform there!  It was an incredible night!  The rain made it so much more epic!!  Who doesn't love half naked New Kids slippin and slidin on a stage in the rain!?



June 12, 2011 – NKOTBSB IZOD Center, NJ
July 31, 2011 – NKOTBSB Nassau Coliseum, NY
IZOD and Nassau were two more amazing concerts put on by this super boyband, and I was happy to be at both of them!

August 20, 2011 – Girl’s Night Out with Jordan Knight, New Bedford, MA
Jillian and I drove to New Bedford to see Jordan perform.  He put on a great show.  It definitely made me excited for a full tour with “Unfinished.”


March 31, 2012 – Jordan Knight “Live and Unfinished”
A great show!!  I stood very near to Jordan and Jon’s brother Dave, which was amusing during “O-Face.”  I think I watched Dave more than I watched Jordan when he was humping the stage, haha!  My favorite part, of course, was the surprise guest (though I knew ahead of time), Donnie showing up and performing “Stingy” with Jordan.  And then there was the even bigger surprise, JON shocking even Donnie and Jordan by popping out on stage at the end of the show!  My arms were never so tired as they were from filming the entire section of the concert with Donnie and Jon!  Jillian and I attended Jordan's brunch the next morning.
 


Mixtape Festival ~ This August I will be lucky enough to add the Mixtape festival to my list of concerts!  I can't wait for it, especially since I could not afford to be on the cruise this year!
