It's offical, well it was official about a month ago. My obsession over NKOTB is starting all over again! Ryan thinks I'm a freak, and I probably am, but there's nothing like being able to actually re-live my teenage obsession over the New Kids on the Block. It was me, Erin, Caitilin and our friend Karen "Harv" Jensen who would eat, sleep & breathe New kids on the block. We went to every event possible that had to do with this group; going to JCPenney for a contest for the best NKOTB poster. We thought we had it in the bag until we saw a poster that was literally the size of what it was, a Mazda Miata (Joey-Joe's first car) filled with life size posters of the boys. Yeah, our hearts were broken because I think they won backstage passes to their concert. Oh well, we still got to go their concert.
We had it all...the hats, gi-normous buttons, water bottles, videos, posters that filled every nook & cranny of our room, t-shirts, etc. We were freaks of nature! But, man, those were the best days too.
I just found out from Harv that they're touring this year and will be here in Salt Lake in November!! WOOHOO!! We're so going to it. Caiti even said she would fly out for it. I'm crossing my fingers that my brother Quinn can get us really good seats - hopefully around the 1st row.
Oh man I'm so GIDDY!!!
Here is a clip of their new song that was performed on the Today show.

I think I remember seeing on of those posters in hanging in your room even after we graduated from HS. You are too funny. I have to agree with Ryan.
no, no, no...you must have gotten me confused with...another person in high school who...yeah ok. Did I really?! I think I got rid of my posters in Jr. High when it wasn't cool to like NKOTB.
They are now called OGITP... Old Guys In The Park.
have you heard anything on the concert tickets yet? like when they go on sale?
