The New Kids Meeting Their Fans

Okay, so, I just had to talk about this for a second... One thing that is great about the New Kids is that they are so personable. They truly appreciate their fans and are very accomodating to them. I was recently checking out their site, and they have a blog section, well, on the site, sometimes the guys will post blogs and talk about different things, give updates, etc. Donnie was posting a blog and in his blog, he commented that we fans had better be ready because when they start touring in the late summer/fall, we can count on him to be out and about, meeting fans, chatting with us, etc. I think that's pretty cool. How many people, as big as they are, will essentially go out of their way to meet their fans and chat with us? It's just really cool. Fortunately, I got that VIP pass for the concert (looks like some are still available if anyone's interested), so I have kind of a "double opportunity" to meet the guys and talk with them but it's nice to know that even if I didn't have the VIP pass, I might actually have a chance to meet them anyway. You can bet that I'll be taking a lot of pictures. :-) Only 5 months to go.

Northern Michigan in the Summer

I love Northern Michigan in the summer. As I am writing this, I'm at the local library in Petoskey, Michigan, checking e-mail and stuff (my parents cancelled their internet service when my sister moved out). Yesterday my mom and I went up to Mackinac Island. It was a beautiful sunny day. I'm currently in Petoskey visiting my parents and brother and seeing my friends. I'm on vacation here for two weeks. It's a real pleasure to be here. The temps are way warmer than the temps at my house in Colorado and the water is great. I haven't been boating yet but I'm hoping to get out sometime next week. I have dinner plans with a friend and his girlfriend tonight. I'm looking forward to that. I just really love it here in the summer. Everything is so green and it's just really nice. I'd love to buy a vacation home in northern Michigan someday and spend the summers here.

New Kids Concet in Denver

I got my ticket!!!! :-) I decided to go all out and get a VIP ticket (I had to make up for a missed chance when I was a kid). I am SO excited to see the guys and actually MEET them. That's pretty cool. It will be an event to remember!

New Kids Tickets

Well, the New Kids tickets for the general public (Denver show) go on sale tomorrow! I can't wait! I'm going to try to get a VIP ticket so that I can meet the guys and take pictures with them. I just hope that all of the AMEX card members that got to buy pre-sale tickets don't buy all of the VIP passes. I'm such a dork but I am so excited about this concert. Seeing the New Kids performing again just makes me happy. I watch all of the media that's available (thanks to the internet) and it just makes me really happy to see them again. They are a talented group of guys who clearly love the interaction they get from the fans when they perform live. They have always been known to be very aproachable when someone sees them in public. You don't get that with a lot of celebrities so I think that's something that just makes them that much better. :-)
