NKOTBSB Take 2!

Remember this post where I gushed and raved about the amazingness of the NKOTBSB concert? Well the disclaimer is that this post may be 10 times worse.

The latest NKOTBSB concert was on Saturday (this being the one that we bought tickets for the day after we came home from the last one). Saturday's concert was 10 times better than the last one. Better seats. Better energy. Better luck. Just better.

I'm not going to lie, insider information is a wonderful thing. Going to the show in June gave us the ability to pick the best seats for this show. Meaning that our 15 year old selves got to be thrilled when we realized that the aisle seats that we so carefully purchased turned out to be the exact aisle that Nick and A.J came down during Shape of My Heart (which I will be honest and admit I didn't hear a word of. I believe I was too busy overusing the phrase "Oh My God" and screaming...and jumping...and basically not acting at all like the 25 year old, soon to be married, university graduate that I actually am.) Oh well. I think it's good to relive your youth. Keeps things fresh. And of course I got to do it with two of my best friends (and bridesmaids!) who I have experienced every BSB concert with since the age of 15.

Anyways I will stop rambling and leave with pictures.

Disclaimer #2: Better seats mean better pictures so be prepared for a photo overload.

The above two were taken when they were right beside us.


Honestly words and pictures cannot describe how amazing this show actually is. The atmosphere and energy in the building is enough to get you excited and the performance is phenomenal. If you had the chance to see the show but didn't out of doubt (I was doubtful before the first show. I believe I stated that the whole thing was going to be hilarious....) trust me when I say that if and when they come back get the tickets. You won't be disappointed.

NKOTBSB

For Christmas every year my family and I do a secret santa to help ease the cost of an expensive time. This year, right around the time gifts were beginning to be bought I found out the New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys were going on tour. Together.

My sister was a huge New Kids fan, and I was a huge Backstreet Boy fan, so naturally this had to happen. Unfortunately I didn't have her name, but with some covert op recruitment I found out who did (my brother), hit him up for the money and got the tickets for the two of us to go with three of my best friends (and bridesmaids) from highschool.

It took some hefty planning as I needed to make sure none of my friends announced that we were going to the concert and kept it quiet (this included not putting it on Facebook) until we gave the tickets to my sister on Christmas day. I also had to enlist some heavy acting skills and pretend that I had zero interest in the concert and that the tickets were much to expensive to consider it even if I was.

The point of this background story? The concert was last Wednesday night and it was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. I had so much fun hanging out with my sister and my friends, something we don't get to do often anymore because of crazy schedules. On top of this, the concert was probably one of the best I have seen (and seeing as I have seen The Backstreet Boys something like 7 or 8 times, one of which we had front row seats..that's saying something.)

All I'm going to say is that these boys may be old but they still one hundred percent have it. They were jumping and running around the stage like they were still in their twenties and put on a high energy show that lasted about 2 hours. Amazing. Seriously, if you have a chance to get tickets to this tour, DO IT. It is worth every penny. We even came home and bought tickets to go see a second show in a town close by in August. It's that good. Trust me.

That being said, I will leave you with pictures.
