My obsession began a long time ago probably about age 13, my walls were covered top to bottom with posters of Donnie, Danny, Joe, Jon and Jordan....New Kids on The Block. They were my everything.
My cousin Crystal and I were lucky enough to get tickets to a concert at Starplex Amphitheatre in Dallas. My parents drove us and we followed a limo into the parking lot and then I got sick. So of course, we had to leave. It wasn't too long after that...they broke up and I knew I'd never get to see them again. Or soI thought....
Fast forward 15 years and an accidental flip of the tv and there they were......Back together again...........A new album and tour in the works. I failed to get tickets to the Dallas concert when they went on sale and they sold out! But a few days before the concert tickets were in mine and Mandy's possesion. AAC, NKOTB Oct 19, 2008! It was amazing!!!!
Then the amazing 5 announced the Spring part of their tour, of course, they were not coming to Dallas this time but instead to Hidalgo, Tx...9 hours away...10 minutes from Mexico. Road trip!!
This concert was better than the 1st as I got Danny and OMG! Donnie sweat on my hand.
Then the Summer tour was announced and "Meet and Greet" tickets for Dallas were mine thanks to my BF Erica. We aganized over clothes, what we would say, what we would do..........once again I was at Starplex but now called Superpages.com Center and it was July in Texas and it was HOT!!!! We sweated and sweated and melted, along with about 300 more fans who were also going to meet them. We had preformed our group but of course, we got seperated so there was Erica, me , Tanna and our resident "man Fan" P.
In our group with us were 6 women, who had met them several times before and they were all of course, Donnie girls like me. This upset me. Maybe I was being a whine baby but it was my once in a lifetime chance to talk to Donnie and have my picture taken beside him and they were rude and wouldn't give me a chance. So our time came and in I walked. I immediately went over to Jon who stood beside the kiddie table, where Danny's 2 girls were and Elijah, Donnie's youngest. I made some cute comment about sitting at the kiddie table with Jon and OMG!! he laughed and hugged me. I also told him how much I enjoyed his tweets. Next to Jon was his brother Jordan and I got a quick hug from him before I asked Jon if I could stand by him on the photo.
I then heard someone yelling "Hey you" I looked over towards Donnie and he and the 2 girls standing next to him were waving me over. I assumed that one of them would move and let me be next to him but as I approached Donnie motioned towards his waist and told me "grab on and hang on tight". Now I ask you who could say no to that man?? I had to bend down and wrap my arms around his waist, I pressed my head against his chest and I could hear the man's heart beating. Sigh, it was Heaven. Two quick pictures and then I backed up and asked Donnie if he would please read my shirt that I had made just for the occassion. Now the shirt said "Beat me, Spank me, Donnie, can I touch your body? It is my favorite line in the song Big Girl that they sing with Lady Gaga. The man turned to his side and took my 2 hands and rubbed them along his body. I DIED right there!!!
Danny was on my out and so I grabbed a quick hug and out we went. I totally missed Joey Joe! I was very disappointed in our tickets. We were 6th row and to the left of the stage. But I did get some great shots! The concert was sooooooooo good. The boys were beyond belief.
Now on to the house to pack for the Houston road trip and the last concert of the year.
Angela here we come........
