All is surprisingly relaxed here backstage at the “Gahden”. Its the calm before the storm. The year has been ridiculously off the charts.
Its not fair to the rest of the world that has not been a part of this yet. And now we are home and we plan on having people talk about this concert for generations to come. Long live The Block! Long live the Bean!!!!

I saw two concerts in Toronto and they were completely amazing, so I can understand that Boston is going to be a total blast (and talked about for years to come!) My friend is in Boston now and she’s coming to see you guys so put on an amazing show so she can tell me all about it!!!
September 26th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
I may not be in Boston, but I have 3 friends who are there for me!!! Can’t wait to see y’all in KCMO in Nov!!!!!! Have a fantabulous night guys, and enjoy the hometown crowd. Can you guys show us at least a little of it on NKTV? Please? Pretty please?
September 26th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
So good to hear from you!! I’ve been checking NKTV constantly. I’m like and addict that needs a fix. I’m sure you’ll bring the house down in Boston since there is no place like home. See you in a week at The Q in Cleveland. XOXO
September 26th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Enjoy it, Baby! Y’all deserve it. Y’all have worked hard for it. Now it’s time to have the most amazing show, and being that y’all are home, it will be!
I SOOO wish I could be there to experience it too. This has been one helluva ride. I am thankful to be apart of it,…then, and now.
Long Live The Block!

Hey guys, tonight will be so special.
I had a fab time with you in London, the airport, HMV and the hotel, can’t wait for you to return to the UK. Every concert will be talked about for generations, every lady has her special time with you.
You are right, their are parts of this world that haven’t had some of you yet - but their time will come.
So looking forward to seeing you again - we are counting down the days in the UK - apart from my friends that have flown from the UK to be with you tonight…
Its gone crazy since you arrived again……loving it!!

PS- Toronto is waiting for you to announce you’re ending the tour here:).
September 26th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
Your blogs are the best. Keep ‘em coming. Can’t believe we all get to watch you guys live from Boston on Sunday night! If only it was a whole PPV show like back in the day. Now THAT would be “ridiculously off the charts.”
But it will be anyway. I’m still keeping my fingers crossed for a complete live tour DVD. Have fun at “The Gahden” (loved that billboard!), rock the house, and we’ll see you on TV this weekend and then in Detroit on October 25th! LOVE YOU!!!
September 26th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
I know you guys will kick a$$! I can’t wait! it’s almost time for the STAPLES concert! I will be waiting with open arms!
Love you guys! best wishes at your concert in your home town~!

Joey… you are soo sweet! I hope you guys have a great show tonight… it’s just less than 1 hour away before you take the stage. I can’t even begin to imagine the emotions runningn through your minds right now. Being home must be so amazing and touching for you guys.
See ya soon….

You guys are truely amazing to the core. Good luck tonight!. Take care, have fun and enjoy it immensely!!. Wish I could be there especially with the other UKers but no can do, never mind, it’s 16 weeks and counting until I see you guys 2 nights running. Birmingham - Glasgow..I will be shattered!! but so worth it, what better way to spend my 31st.
Have fun!!
Pssst!! If anyone is reading this tap Jordan on the shoulder and please ask him to blog us if he has a spare second whenever. Cheers!!.

September 26th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
As a Canadian fan that attended all three concerts in T.O. this past week, and pour my heart n’ soul into supporting NKOTB - I have to say that I wasn’t impressed with Joe’s comment below:
“Canada was a warm-up — a good place to get the kinks out. Our hometown is here, in the Northeast. These are the fans who help take the show to another level.”
- Joey McIntyre tells Rolling Stone, of the New Kids on the Block’ first reunion concert in the U.S. - in Jersey - earlier this week
September 26th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
It would have been great to have been able to see you guys rock it in your hometown! I know the shows there will kick butt

HAVE FUN BABY. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WOULDN’T BE FAIR? IF YOU DON’T ADD TURKEY TO YOUR WORLD TOUR, IT WOULDN’T BE FAIR HON. THERE’RE MILLIONS OF BLOCKHEADS HERE BUT MOST OF THEM HAVE ALREADY LOST THEIR HOPES. YOU NEVER CAME TO TURKEY I DUNNO WHAT THE REASON WAS BUT AFTER THIS REUNITE I STILL HOPE YOU GUYS TO COME TO TURKEY. PLEASE BABY. WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR 20 YEARS
LOVE YOU. GOD BLESS NKOTB AND ALL BLOCKHEADS.
September 26th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Guys,
I truly hope that you all are having a great show. You all have worked so hard and you all derserve nothing more than to have a great night (and tour) We love you!!
NKOTB FOREVER!!!!
Amber
PS Although I have no tickets to see you, this whole experience (seeing you all back together again and seeing my child enjoy your music) is something that I will never forget. Should you be on another tour, maybe things will work out so I can see you then. Until then….. Peace, love, and NKOTB forever!
September 26th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
Well, I agree with you, Joey! It’s NOT fair!!!! Come to Brazil, come to São Paulo, we wanna be a part of this too!!! And I really want to contribute to Donnie’s one million hugs campaign!!

September 26th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
I went to two of your concerts in Toronto and they surpassed all of my expectations! It was a tremendous honour to have you guys kick off your tour here! Best of luck tonight, I know it means a lot to you guys to perform in your hometown aka Beantown, The Cradle of Modern America, etc. I wish I was there to see you guys there! Go show’em that you guys still have the right stuff!
Just also wanted to mention that your new album is one of the best I have heard in awhile. I mean, all of the songs are so stellar that you don’t feel compelled to skip over any tracks. Don’t let the criticism of the so-called “critics” out there get to you; anyone who recognizes good music will appreciate it and most importantly, realize the effort put into it. Hope you guys will record some new music in the near future!
September 26th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
Hey guys, we will all have been a part of it before long! Cuz you have rocked the world, whether it be with the hot, off the charts, kickin album or live in concert or both! You always have a place in all of our hearts worldwide, since the 80’s and some things always stay the same!
We can’t wait to attend the live show in Los Angeles, Sacramento & San Jose!!!! The 3 shows in 3 days roadtrip is on baby! We haven’t done this in quite awhile, but we are eager and READY to see you all! Cant wait for the time of our lives! ~Lisa Marie in bay area (near SF, Cali)
September 26th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Much luck noble gentlemen!! may the Gods be with you on this journey and may you bring us HOTNESS and HAPPINESS! *ha ha ha!*
Long live the block! **see u in Mexico**
September 26th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
Much luck guys. I hope that you continue to have a blast at the show. You guys totally rocked Toronto! I waited 18 years to see you guys in concert again and it was worth it! We would love you guys to finish your tour in Toronto. You 5 will always have a special place in my heart. Thanks for creating this blog and keeping us posted.
love, hugs and kisses,
Margaret
September 26th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Yaye! We finally hear from someone! Awwee, we know it’s crazy busy for you guys right now (hope you all are eating right and getting enough rest!) Canada misses you guys VERY MUCH!! We’ve even got an online petition going to get you guys back for another show at the end of the tour if time allows for you guys and it doesn’t disrupt your lives too much!! Really hope to see you again in Toronto!! All the best!!

BOSTON! I saw u boys in Toronto x 2! And plan on making a trip to Calgary too! (-never in a million years thought id make a trip to see a concert) but honestly.. it is the most amazing show ever… Nostalgia to the max!
I think the ultimate one is probably the one you guys are putting on in your hometown though..

Good Luck Tonight!

The new CD is amazing, love every track, haven’t listen to any of the other 2500 songs on my ipod since i got it..

I know you guys are on stage rockin it out right now!!! The Boston fans must be losing their minds! I know I would be. I can’t wait to see a sneak peek at the show on Sunday on VH1. Have an awesome show tonight, and every night! Have a great time at home. You guys deserve this!!!
Oh, and Joe, what is this supposed to mean??
“Its not fair to the rest of the world that has not been a part of this yet.”
The tour JUST started here and you’re talking about the rest of the world? Let us enjoy it here first! There are TONS of fans here that have not experienced a lot of this yet. What are we? Chopped liver?? Cmon dude…

Hey guys! Just wanted to drop by and say hello! We (me, sister and mom!) saw you last week in our hometown of Montreal and were really blown away. Thanks so much for your energy–you guys are true entertainers. You bring new meaning to the word “COMEBACK”!! We are so enchanted that we are taking a LONG roadtrip to come see you again this November in CT! This time, though, we’ll be right in front! Three generations of fans all in one row…Can’t wait! Any chance we could get backstage passes?? Needless to say, it would be a dream true–even for mom!
September 26th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Yay, Joey Joe!!

Can’t wait to see you guys in another month. It’s been a long time and can’t wait to see you in concert once again. It’s like a dream being able to see you guys and listen to your music. The new cd is awesome!!! I luv it and have been sharing with everyone i know. Keep up the great work!
September 26th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
OMG!! I am so excited for ya’all to be back in BOSTON for the first of 2 shows!! I can’t wait to hear all the reports of all the special moments for you being back in your home town. And Sunday night….WOW!! I can’t wait for the sneak peak before my first of 4 shows on 10/4 in Chi-Town!!
Just a bit of advice for you Joe. Don’t forget that there are a lot of us fans who haven’t had been able to directly participate in anything yet here in the USA. It’s great that you are so excited about including the world….and ya’all are…but remember that this is going to be a fast ride for all of us….and we all want to enjoy it and cherish every minute of it right along with you.
Be on the look out for the Chicago Heavenly 7!?! We will be out in force for the 10/4 show……
Love,

September 26th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
I was at the concert in Boston tonight, 11th row on the floor! What an amazing show! Everything was perfect, from Colby to Natasha, and then of course all of you guys. When Paul Pierce brought out the trophy, that was so awesome! My husband (I had to drag him there) thought that was pretty cool, and he could not get over how loud it was. It was as if we stepped back in time and all the now 30-somthing fans were 13 again. We’ve all been though so much and accomplished so much since then, but it sure was great to remind us how life used to be! I wish I could go to every show! Keep it up…. BTW- I think I am still in love with Jordan! LOL
September 26th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
I just got back from your show a few hours ago and I want to say that it was the most amazing and surreal experience of my life! You guys are absolutely amazing and I am so blessed that I had the chance to see you guys in concert! I was 6 years old when I became a fan of you guys and I never thought I would get the chance to see you perform! Thank you so much for coming back…it seriously meant the world to me! I have never been more proud to be from Boston than I was tonight!!! Knowing that we all had Donnie speechless tonight was an incredible feeling…my life is seriously fulfilled after tonight! THANK YOU!!! I love you guys!!!
September 26th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
awesome show guys. definately blew my mind without a doubt!!! well worth the two hour drive in pouring rain and the 15 year wait. I wish you all the best!
September 26th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
and I just wanted to say that I’ve been a fan since 1989

September 27th, 2008 at 12:22 am
I am so jealous of you guys that got to see them in their hometown,that must have been awesome and I bet that they rocked the house.That is cool that you get to meet Jon Jordan’s dad.do they look a lot like him,curious,he sure have 2 very handsome sons.Love you Jordan and Jon.
I am hoping to get to see them when they come to Milwaukee about 3 1/2 weeks from now.got laid off work so money is tight.
still hoping to get to go.I would be so sad if I cant,its few days away from my birthday so that would be great gift.I have been a fan since 1988.And I have the ticket from 1991.I am probably one of the oldest fans.always a fan.
crossing fingers I can see them
till then hope u have a great concert in New Jersey tomorrow. and another hometown concert in Boston Sunday
you guys rock.and wow what a come back what a reunion.u guys are awesome and you u for sure have the right stuff.u guys have what it take to make a great group.14 years later and its like being back in 1991.us fans waited 14 years but let me tell you it was well worth the wait.
New kids forever love you guys.

Saw the Boston show last night. Amazing, especially the production of the whole show. You guys rocked!! Two little disappoints: 1. I know that this show was emotional for you guys and you had tons of family and friends there for you, and you should take care of them. But, I was in Section B, row 2, seat 1 behind the guy that sits with Donnie at every Celtics’ game. I only know this because my husband has season tickets to the Celtics and we sit two rows behind him. And, never have I once asked for “face time” at the game, afterall you deserve to enjoy it. Last night, the aisle was pretty full and I was getting pushed forward past his seat. He literally pushed me aside and yelled, “Come on, get out of the way.” It totally wasn’t my fault and I was one who actually stayed in my seat (which was awesome by the way). 2. I figured that I would save my “face time” for the concert. So, a bunch of found Zach (accidentally actually) after the show and he totally blew us off. I know that he had to take care of your family and friends, and again he should, but it was such, such a disappoint to be completely dismissed. I wanted to be added to that millionth hug, but I guess not. Anyways, not to be a downer. The show was incredible and I’m happy for the memory. I’m going Sunday too and I guess that I’ll just have to try again:(
September 27th, 2008 at 3:46 am
yes joe, totally not fair for the rest of us! only kidding lol
hope australia gets the chance to see u guys in the flesh after so many years!

Hey Ya Joey,
Another fan from Down Under….I totally understand what ya mean about unfair to the rest of the world, it’s hard to be everywhere at once. And as much as I WANT to see ya’s perform again here in Oz, the blogs and videos on NKTV takes me to a place close to you guys…feels like I’m there partying big time with ya’s….Though to be physically apart of it would be the icing on the cake hehe…Enjoy performing at home, it’s only fair to start at HOME first…we can wait…
LV and Luck Always

The show was absolutely awesome last night… very smooth… I’d love to go again on Sunday
Joe, you’re the man, plain and simple.
I just wanted to thank you guys for the tickets, I really appreciated it… but I was a little disappointed that I didn’t get another round of face time yesterday with Donnie… maybe I’m being greedy but I was looking forward to that.
Sincerely,
Felicia from “The Hood”

So here’s the deal…I’m usually a VERY talkative person. My family refers to me as the “talking machine.” Your show last night left me 1.voiceless and 2. speechless. When people asked how it was, I could not the right words to describe it… and I still cannot! Thank you so much for the most unforgettable experience of my life! The show was WELL worth the plane ticket from Florida! I can’t wait to see you in the sunshine state!!!
Thanks for making my dream come true!
Love

Dear Joey,
I am real die hard New Kids fan, but after your first Amercian concert on your tour, and after not one, but 4 sold out shows here in Canada, you made a comment in an interview that has left not only a bad taste in my mouth, but in the mouthes of many of your Canadian fan base. Something to the effect that Canada was just a warm up, and that the American fans bring it to the next level. What does that mean? That we Canadians are not good enough, or that our money is no good? Um, I don’t think you should bite the hand that feeds you Hon. Check out this website and see some of the reponses us Canuks had to say, and make things right, I’m sure we’ll forgive you for sticking your foot in your in your mouth. http://hot899.com.

I LOVED IT!!!! I met you guys back stage and you were the nicest and sweetest guys ever, a special thanks to Danny and Donnie, I will hug you guys forever! I am dying to go to another concert but not sure if that will happen, Love You Lots!!!!

Hello Boston Boys,
How’s everything been for you all???? I know you have such a busy year. I’m so pleased that all the FANS who lives in Boston had such a BLAST last night & it’s back tomorrow night in your hometown. I know they need a break Monday and Wednesday that’s for sure. Plus they totally need it. I’m getting excited by every single minute of it and can’t stop thinking about it & it’s down to 5 days for me until I see them in Washington, D.C. Tomorrow makes 4 days. I know 1 thing my VOICE is gonna kill me from all the SCREAMING this Thursday. I’m gonna scream so so much that I want my VOICE to hurt. LOL! So I won’t have to talk for 2 days. LOL! Plus I heard and read that the Show for Verizon Center is SOLD OUT. I already knew that. I’m just blessed that my uncle gotten my (4) tickets to see you guys this Thursday. I’m so happy he gotten tickets for me in the lower section this time. I’ve gone to concerts but was in NOSE BLEED Section. But not this time. YAY! I’m also letting you know that I’m gonna be a LADY and there’s no way I’m throwing my BRA on Stage at you. I have more sense. LOL! Because I love you guys so so much that I respect you all so when I see you Thursday I’m not going to do that. I don’t know if anyone else will. But I won’t be. I was brought up right.
Joey, My 1st TRUE LOVE since 1988
If you’re reading this, I’ll be SCREAMING so much for you and watching every single move you make on that stage. I’ve waited so so long for you and the guys to return. My mom didn’t believe me at 1st when I told her but she did this time. And I gotten my wish. So let the party begin Thursday. YAY!
Greetings From Baltimore, MD
Your Biggest Fan Since 1988

Hi guys! If you read this, congrats on the start of what I know is going to be a wicked awesome tour! I can’t for my show in houston Oct.16, and I’m counting the days until then. In the meantime, I’m so happy you’re keeping so in the loop with things! You’ve been wonderful. Also, I can’t wait for the show tomorrow night on VH1 from the “Gahden”! Two historic things happening in that place in less than two years. First, the Celts incredible championship win at home, then you guys return victors as well at home. Conquering heroes indeed! Have a great rest of the tour, and I truly love you all-you’re the best. Be safe, and look forward to hearing from you on the road again soon. Bye!!!
Love Always,

JOE!!!
I was at IZOD on Tuesday and I can honestly say that was one of the best nights of my life. The Meet & Greet was amazing, I was front row for the show…you guys KILLED it. The concert is unbelievable, I’m so completely impressed with what you guys have put together, and how open and accessible you all are to all of us. The love there was tremendous. Can’t imagine what it was like in Boston last night.
See you in AC tonight!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:43 am
Hey Guys - This 33 year old woman felt 16 again last night. You guys brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. I seriously couldn’t have imgined the show being any more amazing than you made it! The energy and the love you put into the show last night made it emotional and SO MUCH FUN! Like all of you, the last 15 years of my life have brought ups and downs and to be reunited with my 5 high school boyfriends made me realize taking step by step and hangin tough is truly the only way you learn and grown and become a better person. Thank you for all you have given me. My love and devotion to NKOTB always. I only wish I could go to the show Sunday, too! xoxo

So it’s the morning after your Boston blowout and YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!! I can’t belive that after all these years, you guys can still bring it. I looked around last night and saw a crowd of 30-somethings jumpng and screaming like 14 yr old girls (myself included) and I was blown away! I can honestly say that last night was the best concert I have ever been to. The energy was incredible and the fact that you all are so damn hot was an added bonus. I will be in Providence in November to see you all again! I’ll have to see how my husband feels about me being “single” for the night!
Danny - I am so sorry tp hear about your mother. My mother had breast cancer in ‘99 as well. While I am fortunate to still have my mother, my heart goes out to you and your family. I bought my tank top last night after the show and I’ll be wearing it to the concert in Providence RI.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:55 am
what an amazing might indeed it was; to have our boys back in Bean Town to represent. My ears are still ringing over 12 hours later. The show was dope, no real breaks/intermission. I just bought tickets for an upcoming show…you boys still got me hooked just like you did when I was a teenager…only I’m older and wiser now. I loved your hat Donnie, the Red Sox one with the diamonds. And man can Jordan still lock it. You guys look awesome; beautiful bodies for 5 beautiful men. It was hot. Opening acts were good too. I’m so smitten after all these years. I used to drive to your houses and wait to see you guys; met Danny with his Coke machine outside his house and went in and talked to Joe’s dad. It’s all so surreal for me. Looking forward to the next show although I KNOW nothing will even come close to last night; the boys back home for the the first time together again. Much love; keep up the good work and fight the good fight. Joey, “LET’S GET THIS”!!! That’s what I said when I thought about buying more tickets…I’m psyched; it’s gonna be dope! SLP in NH…Shot out to my twinny Trish…

Just hurry up and get your ass to Detroit! LMAO
September 27th, 2008 at 8:56 am
Oh my dear Joe.
I know it’s going to be a hell of a show In Boston.
I agree with you It’s not fair for the rest of the world so PLEASEEEEEE com so SOUTHAMERICA!!!!
Much love

Hey guys! I am glad that you are back in Beantown! This has been one very exciting year so far. Thanks for everything. I am so counting down the days until I go down to Saint Paul, MN just over 3 weeks to go. This is like waiting for Christmas day to come. LOL
Loving you forever,

Glad to see you are enjoying being back on your home turf!
and although I agree that the rest of the world hasn’t had a chance yet, we were a little hurt here in Canada with the comments that were made regarding Toronto being the place to work out all the kinks!
I think we were a pretty amazing audience, and gave all we could. And we simply want more!
I hope Rolling Stone took your words out of context, because there are a LOT Of fans hurt by the way your words were portrayed
Anyway, wishing you all the best…..I hope both concerts in Boston, are as amazing as all 3 in Toronto
And we will see you out West in November in Calgary!

So… it’s after the fact now.. How was your first night in your beloved Boston?
I’m anxious to hear your thoughts of how things are going..!
I would’ve just… loved, more than almost anything, to be at one of your Boston shows. To see the 5 of you at HOME, after all this time… would’ve been incredible. I can’t imagine how it must feel for you guys to be there again, together.. after the emotion that ran through the Air Canada Centre on Thursday and again on Sunday.. I can only TRY to imagine how thick the air at the Garden must’ve been with excitement and love and gratitude, from all directions!
Just remember.. you all are so loved, no matter where you go.
And Toronto wants you back!! We’re on a mission!
(For the record, the Rolling Stone quote really doesn’t bother me.. out of context or not! But, you know, if we were warm-up.. I think it’s only right that we’re your place to cool down too! 
Think about it? Please? We miss you more than words can express..!)
Lots of love!

Hope you had a blast playing your hometown!! I saw you guys at the Izod Center on Tuesday (Sept 23rd) with three of my friends and it was the best concert we’ve ever been to. I saw you at the Delaware State Fair back in either Summer of 89 or 90 (not sure). This show was definitely hands down better by a mile. My friends are seeing you at the Borgata tonight and Wachovia Center (Philly) in November and I told them they’re in for an amazing show!! I am so glad you’re back and better than ever!! Have a great time touring this great country and seeing all of us fans that have always hoped for a reunion!
September 27th, 2008 at 10:12 am
I was at your show last night and I want to say that it was the most amazing and surreal experience of my life! You guys are absolutely amazing and I am so blessed that I had the chance to see you guys in concert! I was 6 years old when I became a fan of you guys and I never thought I would get the chance to see you perform! Thank you so much for coming back…it seriously meant the world to me! I have never been more proud to be from BOSTON than I was tonight and I’m so happy that I was there for your homecoming. Knowing that we all had Donnie speechless last night was an incredible feeling…my life is seriously fulfilled after that show! THANK YOU!!! I love you guys!!!
and I just wanted to say that I’ve been a fan since 1989
September 27th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Unbelieveable show last night. Welcome home guys welcome home! It was an amazing show! It was so great that I am determined to get tickets and see you tomomrrow night. Boston loves you guys and we are so proud! Representin’ Boston better than anyone!

September 27th, 2008 at 10:20 am
Hi Guys,
Yeah I was supposed to be there for my FIRST New Kids concert. Due to travel issues that were not my fault and beyond my control, I missed yet another concert. There is always Detroit! 5* and I can not wait!
Take care, God Bless
If I can get tickets to another I will be going! Again even if I have to walk!
September 27th, 2008 at 10:48 am

September 27th, 2008 at 11:04 am
I was at the show last nnight. I laughed, I cried, I remembered. I LOVED IT!!!! You guys are all that you were back in the day and I was so proud to have been there to share your first night back in Boston. I was born and Raised in MA about 30 minutes away from Boston and can remember back 15 years ago and LOVING New Kids on the Block. I can honestly say that you guys have not changed in any way. Still the same guys and the same great music. Jordan you did WONDERFUL!!! Joey, I loved the black jacket with the smiley face on it, Danny I LOVED your dance moves, Jonathan you looked great!! And most of all, Donnie, you ROCK!!!! I cried with you!!! Thank you for by far the best night of my life!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 11:11 am

Thanks thanks, many thanks to you guys!

Last night was my first NKOTB show and it was a dream come true for this poor girl from rural Maine whose family couldn’t afford tickets to your Old Orchard Beach show back in 19-whenever-that-was! All my friends back then had all your gear, but I cherished the free fan club pack that I sent away for, and the hand-me-down button I got from a friend - it was one of my prized possessions! I’ve been keeping the faith for the last 15 years.<
