Welcome to one of the best days of my life
Wednesday, November 12, 2008
I finally got one of the magical green bracelets!!! I've only been talking about them for, oh, MONTHS now! Although this fancy piece of plastic doesn't get you what it used to (in Chicago it was basically an all-access pass to the guys), I still am SO, SO, SO thankful that I was able to experience it.
Mom was going to go to the M&G with me. But at the last minute we found out that "management" wanted a smaller group, so my station gal Steph asked if mom would give up her pass to someone else. She was fine with it -- and in doing so she made a girl named Larkin very, very, VERY happy.
This meet & greet was somewhat simliar to the ILAA 5* passes. BUT, it was better because we got our pictures taken in groups of 4 instead of groups of 10. This meant everyone was guaranteed a New Kid to hang on. Ha,ha.
The bummer of the day goes to the fact that Jon didn't make the M&G. No one said what was up, but then again I don't think anyone asked. I talked to him last night & he didn't seem sick or anything -- maybe he just didn't feel like coming out. It seemed like everything was kind of running late.
The "what made up for Jon not being there" of the day was the fact that before the M&G started, Donnie came down the row of people (I'd say "row of girls" but there was a boy there) & gave everyone hugs. He was wearing a bathrobe. (Kate, are you still breathing?)
So it's my turn to go up to the guys. I always seem to be the last one in the group no matter what kind of M&G I do. Again, not complaining. Just stating a fact. Joe & Danny didn't have any girls by them, so that's where I headed. I told Joe that I'd seen him last night & he was all "Oh yeah! You stood next to me for the picture, right?" Um, yes I did Mr McIntyre.
After my 2 secs with Joe I hugged Danny. This time it was a proper, full-on hug (the first I've gotten from Danny). I told him "I wasn't able to get to you last night." That confused him, so I added "I was at the 5* last night." Still confused. So I just went about my business.
Picture time! I'm in a Danny/Joe sammy. Nice.
Jordan was busy, so I went over to Donnie. I got a nice hug from him (the first *real* hug I've gotten from him since the tour started -- not counting the MOA in August). He liked my FaceTime shirt, so he pulled out a marker to sign it. Well, the shirt is black with silver writing ... and his pen was black ... so he had to sign on the silver part ... which was located on my boob. Hey, never turn down a Wahlberg offerring to sign anything near a boob.
I didn't get to see Jordan this time around. That's okay, I've had plenty of Jordan time in my other NKOTB encounters.
I can't wait to see the pics. My Omaha promotions bud Steph is the one who was taking the pictures, so I hope they turned out nice! Steph, if you're reading this, one million thank yous to you & the whole Journal group. You really did make this trip more special than I ever thought possible.
I'll leave you with a shot of the "B-Stage" from tonight. I really did like these seats -- the venue was smaller than the others & we were able to just sit back & enjoy the show.
