Then, the stars aligned. We were approached with the idea to be involved in a one-of-a-kind pop music festival that was shaping up in Hersheypark, PA. THIS was the event we had been searching for!<br /> <br /> We know many of you were hoping for a Blockstock, but nooo.....This is MUCH! BIGGER!!!!!!<br /> More artists! More events! More fun! More chances to party and hang with us in the ways that you always love to, and in new ways that were never before possible! Its not just OUR festival, but its going to be YOUR festival! This sure-to-be legendary event is going to go down in the history books, and we are thrilled and honored to be a part of it!<br /> <br /> So it is with GREAT excitement that we announce the first ever....(drumroll please)....</p> <p><span style="font-size: 24px;">SUMMER MIXTAPE FESTIVAL</span><br /> <span style="font-size: 20px;">AUGUST 17-18, 2012</span><br /> <span style="font-size: 18px;">AT HERSHEYPARK STADIUM - HERSHEY, PA</span><br /> <br /> Weve checked out your feedback, combed your Twitter and Facebook feeds, and studied our notes from the Town Halls and NKOTB.com to find out what you think makes for the most relaxing, stress free, and totally amazing concert experience:</p> <div style="border: 1px solid #dfdfdf; padding: 10px 10px 10px; margin-bottom: 1em; border-radius: 10px;"> <ul> <li> The only NKOTB North American show in 2012?

As always (you know us!), we will have plenty of tricks up our sleeves and special events and surprises. Theres going to be limited space for parties and VIP access so make sure you get your ticket ASAP and well keep you posted! VIP tickets will also get you guaranteed access to anything we add to the weekends schedule. And dont worry, while were all at Hershey together for the weekend, we will be planning NKOTB-only fan events which well announce as soon as we dream them up we cant wait to share them with you!<br /> <br /> We are so excited to share the stage with some of our dearest friends and artists we love and respect at what will be an AMAZING two days in the beautiful Pennsylvania countryside.

This landmark live cinema cast looks set to revolutionize the live experience for music fans and, at the same time, develop a whole new cinematic experience that will help increase not just the impact for artists of their live shows , but also cinema attendance.</p> <p>The show will be distributed to cinemas by Myscreenevent.com using HD camera technology from The O2 and state-of-the-art 5.1 surround sound to give the fans watching in cinemas a feeling of event participation as close to being in the venue as is possible with the cutting edge tools at their disposal . Myscreenevent.com is a pioneer in the field of digital cinema and to-date has been involved in a diverse range of streaming, from sports and documentaries to classical music.</p> <p>ABC Entertainment and Livebeats are co-producing the event with Myscreenevent.com, allowing a truly unique network of distribution, which also means fans can buy tickets directly from the band.</p> <p>It's so exciting to know that even though we weren't able to bring our show to certain places in Europe, our fans will still have the opportunity to experience it like they were there. We can't wait for everyone to see the show! exclaims Howie D of the Backstreet Boys.</p> <p>Working with New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys, explains Frank Volpe, who is coordinating the cinema cast, is such a perfect opportunity to reach out to markets that already clearly enjoy the cinema experience and will highlight this groundbreaking development as a route all bands and artists will have the opportunity to embrace in the next 10 years.</p> <p>From April 2nd, fans can buy tickets direct from the bands web and social media sites and from<a href="http://www.myscreenevent.com/NKOTBSB" target="_blank">www.myscreenevent.com/NKOTBSB</a>.</p> <p></p><p>From <a href="http://nkotb.com/">nkotb.com</a></p>Mon, 02 Apr 2012 07:00:00 -0700http://nkotb.com/news/69001<br /><img src="http://groundctrl.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/newkidsontheblock/media/04/15/medium.822o4sdu8ud2.jpg" /><br /><p>Ladies and gentleman of Block Nation!

Thank God I dont measure my loveof life and involvement in my career by how many tweets I execute. I did for a brief spell back a couple years, but one of the many blessings of having 3 very little kids is it keeps my priorities straight.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Im as creative as I ever was and have been working on several project- most outside the music world but all firmly with in the how can I touch you? world.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I think even those who know me may be a little surprised.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">In the meantime, Ive waded back into the water of acting. And so far the waters fine. I havent gone very deep and its only been a few dips in the last 6 months or so, but all good stuff. Which makes me wanna take a serious plunge! (That was 5 water puns if youre counting).</p> <p class="MsoNormal">CSI:NY was fun shooting. Kind of odd telling people I am on a TV show and not seeing it before hand. But I think Ill work again. I dont think theyll run me out of town for this one. I hope!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Then in November my guest spot on airs. Good times.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">And then in December I am part of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>one serious cast of actors in the movie New Years Eve. I was lucky enough to work with Garry Marshall again and I will tell you what everyone in Hollywood (and everywhere else) knows: there is not a kinder man than he. So fun to work with him and the cast. Im afraid to give my part away and tell you who out of the amazing cast I worked with, so youll just have to go to the theatre and see for yourself. <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">But meanwhile back at the homestead, my long days have been filled with one 3 and a half year old testing his limits and mine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One little bruiser who will be 2 in a couple months and is as determined as anyone I ever met to get into whatever he has his eyes onoh, and dont help him with ANYTHING. He wants to do it all HIMSELF. FYI- his hearing is so good. He understands everything and he is talking more and more and on par with your average 2 year old. Good stuffseems like forever ago when we didnt know what his path would be, but his hearing loss (although something we work on and monitor) is almost forgettable during the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No small miracle, thanks to God, to todays technology, some really wonderful people in the field of hearing loss and one amazing mother who has not and will never miss a beat.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I dived into full time dad when we got home from tour at the beginning of August and by the end of the month I could not shut up about how tired I was.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Thankfully I got tired of being tired and have now settled in to the fact that it takes a lot of energy to do what we are doing now and I just have to keep it as simple as possible for a fewyears??? Haha! Who knows? But we do manage to have a lot of fun.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">And finally, my little girl. As my mother said about a picture she has of Kira by her bedside, it looks like shes smiling into tomorrow. And let me tell you, it feels that way, when she smiles at me. Im biased, but boy is she pretty. She has been such a chill baby. Sleeps good. Sooo sweet. Just plump enough. I kind of chomp on her cheeks constantly. I cant wait for her to start bossing her big brothers around. Soon enough.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Fair to say, I feel like the luckiest man on the face of the earth. Being a dad is incredibly fulfilling and thoroughly challenging. And I so cherish the thought of watching these kids grow up for the next 100 years.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Like many I know and hear about, I feel that my family is my foundation and now that I have that bedrock I can begin. I look at life differently. I am feeling now like I am just now becoming the person I want to be- my true self. It might look from the outside like the same old Joe, but I am experiencing an awareness that I havent before and thats an awesome feeling. Sounds heavy but its subtle.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I look forward to revealing all the projects Im working on. Especially one that is literally right round the corner. Stay tuned! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Oxox Love ya.</p> <!--EndFragment--> <p></p><p>From <a href="http://nkotb.com/">nkotb.com</a></p>Wed, 12 Oct 2011 11:00:00
