Joey McIntyre Concert- January 19, 2010

I just realized that I hadn't posted about my experience at the Joe Mac concert in Detroit. I guess there's not a lot to say. Nothing particularly exciting happened but it was still a lot of fun to go to. I did go to the concert by myself. It might have been a little more fun if I had been with some girl friends or my sister but my sister is back down in Florida and I don't really have any girl friends that would have wanted to go.

The doors opened at 8 pm. I got there around 7:30 pm. When I went down there, I stayed at my aunt and uncle's house in Grosse Point Park because I didn't want to stay at a hotel and I didn't have the money to spend on a hotel. My aunt was nice enough to take me to the concert and pick me up. That worked out well because then I didn't have to try to find the theater or a place to park. When I got there, there was a pretty big line of fans waiting outside. The temperature was really cold too. I wore a black dress, some tall, heeled boots (that I borrowed from my aunt) and tights. I was still really cold though. It took a little while to warm up once I got into the Magic Bag Theater.

Joe opened the show by singing, "Here We Go Again." I don't remember the full playlist but he did several of his own songs as well as some NKOTB songs. One great thing about watching him perform is that he just really enjoys it. He loves being up on stage and interacting with the fans. I don't know if he prefers smaller venues are larger ones but I can tell that either way, he just likes being on stage. It's fun to watch him in a small venue because of all of the fan interaction that takes place. You can get a good sense of what he's like and that just makes him even more likable. During one part of the show, he brought a guy up on stage who also went on the NKOTB Cruise last May. He's just a big NKOTB fan. He sang the rap from the NKOTB song, "No More Games." The guy did a good job too.... not as good as Donnie does but still a good job.

All in all, it was a good show and I'm glad that I made the trip down to Detroit to go to it.

 
The person who took this picture was only a couple feet in front of me. I hate when that happens. I look kind of crazy in this picture. LOL

Movies

So, what's the deal with all of the gory, killing, demonesque movies that are coming out? Seriously. Each time I rent a movie, I see previews for movies like this. What is wrong with the people making these movies and why do people go and see them? There are movies about zombies, people being possessed by demons and movies that have tons of blood and gore. It's just wrong! Movies like that should not be made and it saddens me that they are. It really makes me sick.

Joey Mac

Well all, for now the New Kids are not on tour but I do hope that they tour again. However, Joey will be doing a short solo concert tour this month. On January 19 I get to go and see him in Detroit at Magic Bag club. I'm looking forward to seeing him in concert again. Besides seeing the whole group in Denver for their Denver 2008 and 2009 concerts, I saw Joe in Detroit when I was in college and Jordan in Tampa when I lived there. I look forward to seeing Joe in Detroit again. It'll be a good time.
