St Louis or KC?
Wednesday, November 12, 2008
I had my last NKOTB Meet & Greet of the year tonight. I was looking forward to being an "organized group" this time around. I met a bunch of girls on the chat boards and we all agreed to act like adults while meeting the guys ... and we also pre-arranged who would be standing next to whom. Well, it only kinda sorta worked out. I ended up going into the room last (AGAIN!), which meant I didn't have much time with the guys (AGAIN). We had a bunch of Donnie hogs again (REALLY??), but I did manage a half-hug this time around. I also told him my friend back home says she loves him & misses him. He said "Tell Kate I Love HER!" Seriously, his words. I know Kate is dying in a happy way right now, even though she wasn't there to see it herself.
I got to get a few hugs from Jon. He had written a blog on the NKOTB.com site about some craziness in St Louis & how he was unhappy with how a bunch of "fans" were acting after the show. I told him "Well said! I'm sorry that happened!" He said thanks & I got another hug. All the other girls were basically out of the room at that point, so I know I wasn't being a Jon-hog. LOL!
Jordan gave me a hug & told me I smelled like strawberries. I guess I had strawberry gum ... I suppose there are worse things Jordan could have told me I smelled like.
The "PICTURE TIME!" announcement came quickly. I got my spot next to Joe. I had planned on actually telling him my name this time around ... nope, as soon as I looked at him I drew a blank. Shocking, I know! I thought I'd gotten past this stage! HA,HA!
Once again I did not make it to Danny.
I am pretty happy about something though: I got a Robo hug! He's a kinda scary dude, but he must've liked me enough to humor me when I asked him for a hug ... for those of you who don't know, Robo is the New Kids bodyguard from back in the day & for this tour. If you'd like to see a picture of him, just do a Google search. I bet something will come up.
My seat was in the 16th row on the left side of the stage. I was next to some 10 year old girls who had come to the show with their moms. They were really sweet & very much looking forward to the show. I feel kind of bad because they were really too short to see much (and hello, their moms paid $90/ticket!).
Everyone asks me if I see any difference in the shows. Yes, there are small differences ... but for the most part I know the set list & whatnot by this point. Well, tonight was a little different. I don't know if the guys were just a little off or what, but I noticed a bunch of little mistakes -- and one BIG one. Donnie forgot which city they were in. He gave a big shout out to St Louis. Whoops! Joe tried to cover for him, but it wasn't fooling me.
Going to the show solo was interesting. I'm a pretty friendly gal, but I found it kind of difficult to make friends in my area of the floor. Perhaps they were jealous of my fancy 5* pass? LOL!
I did meet some really fun girls at the 5* party though. I never got their names or any contact info -- but they were such fun. There were also some German girls at our table that were very cool. One used to live about 15 miles away from Ramstein (which was the only German thing I was able to come up with to talk to her about).
Tomorrow is Omaha. We're meeting up with the Journal Broadcast Group Radio folks for lunch, so our wake up call is set for 7am ... approx 6 hours from now ... perhaps I should go to bed now. :)
