Sweet Six!

So it's not exactly a Sweet Sixteen, but Beth and I agreed that getting to attend our SIXTH New Kids on the Block concert was most definitely sweet! After an amazing concert #5, we immediately started talking about whether we should go to just one more show this summer. After all, we saw opening night...two years is way TOO long to wait for our next concert!!

We considered DC, Columbus, Raleigh and Boston (that's certainly on our bucket list since it's NKOTB's hometown) before settling on Charlotte! It's easy to fly into and the airport is close to hotels/the Spectrum Center...and the date worked for both of us. Sold!

Two lucky gals ready to head to dinner...

 And make a little trouble!

In our great seats!

Showtime!

 

Salt-n-Pepa...amazing again!!

Naughty by Nature...awesome!!

Bestie Sisters with Donnie Wahlberg. Ha!

Singing along to "Tonight"!!

Jonathan Knight waving to ME! ME!! 😉

Still the best duet of the year.

We were wowed by Debbie Gibson and Tiffany again!

Good bye, NKOTB!

But not before Donnie hugged a woman with a sign that said, "I'm 78. I make meatloaf. I give hugs to NKOTB." You better believe she got a hug! She also told Donnie, "Tell Alma I say, "Hi.'" (Alma is his mom.) Of course, he agreed he would. Fabulous! 

See you in 2021!

We know we were part of something special TWICE this summer. Actually, I think a lot of people knew it! 

And the re-release of Hangin' Tough did them proud this summer!

Check out how many tickets they sold. We bought 8 of those 600,000!!

And even made it into their "80's Baby" video!! I spotted me and Tony from behind (an eagle guy can see Brie's ponytail, too) when entering the Cincy show back in May! (Actually, nearly all of this video is from the show we attended.) We're officially a part of NKOTB history!
