NKOTB Full Service Tour 6.16.09
I'm still trying to collect my thoughts, but I'll try not to jump all over the place. First up was the M&G. Sarah and I were the last two let in for our group, so by the time we got around the curtain, there was enough time to hug Danny, briefly talk to him (and I mean briefly), and then they were calling for the pictures. After the pictures, they shooed us out. I said a quick "hey" to Donnie, and I barely had time to mumble a "thank you" to the others as I walked out. It was kind of disappointing, but I was also expecting it, from reading what others had to say. But in the end, I still got to meet them, just not as much as I would have liked. And there are still pictures (which I'll post as soon as ILAA uploads them). However, I couldn't be too upset because...
...we had 5th row pit tickets!!!!! We were so close I could see every drop of sweat, every facial expression, every eye contact, every... everything!!! That made my whole entire night.
First up was "Full Service" (video here), which got cut off, as security caught me recording. It's still hot, though. Trust me. More of the setlist (mostly in this order... some may not necessarily be...):
Summertime [remix]
My Favorite Girl
The Right Stuff
Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time
Valentine Girl
Please Don't Go Girl
Dirty Dancing [complete with pyro... I'm almost sorry I didn't [attempt] to record this... fucking HOT... literally!]
Games
If You Go Away/Stare At You [medley]
Single [middle of crowd]
Give It To You [Jordan]
Cover Girl [Donnie]
POPSICLE [Joey Mac]
5 Brothers and a Million Sisters [Joey Mac]
Tonight
Click Click Click
I'll Be Loving You Forever
One Song [the crowd was sooooo hyped up on this one... beach balls and confetti flying everywhere... awesome!]
Step By Step [Jon did not sing Step 5, but that's okay - I still love him]
Hangin' Tough
I think that about sums it up. I have to say, last year's show was amazing, but last night's show was something even beyond that... I can't even find the words to describe it. At one point, before "Games," DDub was talking about the last time they were in Saratoga (20 years ago), and how he almost broke his neck, so I started recording that (video here), but yet again, I was told to stop. Which is stupid, because this isn't a spoiler. It was a personal experience he was reliving, but whatever. At least I got part of it. There was also a Twitter moment on the JumboTron, that says, "guess who's next?" So if you follow Twitter at all, you'll get that. At the end of the show, Donnie brought Elijah out and Dannie brought his kids out... so cute!! It was one hell of a time; one that I won't soon forget. I'm incredibly lucky to have gotten to see them last year and now on this tour, with the 5* VIP. I can't complain. 
Wait, hold the phone! Sarah brought something to my attention that I hadn't noticed last night. Are you ready? While they were singing "Hangin' Tough," Jordan forgot the words!!! 20+ years, how does that work? Funniest shit ever.
Did I also forget to mention that I snagged a beach ball? It was just sitting there, so I took it. Great souvenir.
Okay, one more thing, and then I swear it's the last edit. Maybe. But this was too funny not to include. During "Cover Girl," instead of the line, "and be my bride," this: "because I got a boner." Seriously. Picture that line in its place. Hysterical.
I lied. They did something new that they didn't do last year. Donnie introduced the band + the guys, and when it was Donnie's turn to be introduced, Jon took that honor. Can't sing Step 5, but can intro DDub. Go figure.

FACETIME, baby!!!!!
I know I said I was going to leave k-t.net on hiatus until after I re-vamped all of my fanlistings, but after helping Sarah get her new domain set up, I realized how much I missed mine. That sounds silly, doesn't it? Anyway, so I threw this layout together, and I must say, I love the way it turned out. (C'mon... you're not really surprised that it's Kristen Bell, are you?) She's been the target of many k-t.net layouts, but I think this is my best ever. So enjoy her hotness, will ya? 
Right now, I've just got the blog up... actual content will be added in later. Gotta grab a shower and head out soon.
Anyway, my real reason for blogging is to say that Sarah and I will be meeting NKOTB TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it's here. We ordered VIP way back at the beginning of April, and I thought how long it would take to get here... and here we are!!! Somehow I've got to compose myself... but how does one do that when one is a puddle of mush on the floor? Lol. I can't decide who I want to meet more; obviously, all 5, but I'm torn between Jordan (favorite since childhood), DDub (let's be real here - he's hot!) and Jon (no actual reason here, just love him). Aaaahhhhh!!!!! Wish me luck - I'll probably need it. That being said, I'll try to blog Wednesday with the review (if I've regained consciousness by then).
