We were at the venue early in Chicago
And there was a swap meet going on in the parking lot, so to kill time
I looked around. And what did I come upon, but “us”. The woman who was
selling “us”, at first had no idea and then I asked her, “Did you ever
think that I would be the guy buying “me”?” We had a laugh about this
surreal moment. Nice to know that we are playing the arena and not
just getting sold off at a swap meet.
-jm
P.S. I decided to just sign mine in hopes that she could make a couple
of extra bucks on them. (Donnie apparently quit the Swap Meet Boys
because he felt like a piece of merchandise).

October 4th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
Just got back from the Cleveland show. You guys were amazing! I couldn’t imagine what you all meant when I kept hearing all the hype on your blogs–about giving it your all, etc. It’s just a concert, right? Wrong. It was more than I could have expected–and you did give it your all. Thanks for putting in so much hard work and effort. I loved every moment! Your new music is so much more than I ever expected. What a night–nostalgic and new all in one show! Enjoy it!
October 4th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
Ohh my goodness!!!! donnie is to sweet to sign it for her and have her sell it for a couple extra bucks!!!!!!
October 4th, 2008 at 5:42 pm

Cleveland rocked last night…see you in Detroit!!!!!
October 4th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
That is an awesome story…was it weird for you to see your dolls there? Poor, poor Donnie. What a card!!!
October 4th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
THAT IS HILARIOUS!
THANKS FOR BLOGGING JOE,I AM SO EXCITED FOR NOV.18!

October 4th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
So I’m not sure anyone will actually read this, but I was at the show in Cleveland last night, and let me tell you, it was the best night of my life.
You’d think that after dreaming about it since I was 10, I would’ve been disappointed…after all, you can only build things up so much before your expectations exceed reality.
But you know what?
It met my expectations and then so much more. It was incredible.
I love you guys! Just for what it’s worth, and it may not be worth much since you guys have millions of fans, you made a woman’s dream into reality last night.
You are amazing, all of you…especially you, Jonathan! I’ve been your girl since I was a little girl, and now that I’m a woman, I’m still your girl at heart. No words can describe just how much I love you all.
Thank you so much for letting us know you were still there. Many of us have had rough times, and you stayed there, right with us. We love you, We love you, We LOVE YOU!!!!!
October 4th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
Thanks for the regular posts Joey Joe!
WHERE IS DONNIE!!?!! We miss you baby!!!!!!

Hey Didnt NWA Have A Song That Said Something About The Swap Meet?
October 4th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
That’s cute. Bet that lady felt kind of funny about the whole thing. Seeing the dolls made me want to mention, that my daughter got into my old box of NKOTB stuff in the garage and found your doll, Joe. You’re now living in a Barbie house.
See you in St. Louis.
Love,
Leigh Ann
October 4th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
What’s more amusing: the blog, the picture or the fact that the Jon doll is the only one that still has his shirt?
Thanks for the update Joe Mac!

Wow, I bet that woman wanted to just die when she saw that you were walking by and she was selling your dolls. Thanks Joe for keeping us posted and sharing things with us along the way. I love the clip of you with being a great daddy. It makes me love you even more that you guys have included your families in this whole experience. Looking forward to seeing you guys in concert on 11/7 Atlantic City.
October 4th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Nobody else can do an immpromptu blog post quite like you.
You know what’s funny–I went to something similar today and bought a purse made from the sleeve of a demo record of The Right Stuff. Of all the NKOTB merch I’ve owned in my life, I never thought I’d have a purse. lol 
A nice piece of retro cool… kinda like you. Hope Cleveland and Chicago were both fantastic. Wish I could have been there, but I’ll see you in Detroit!
October 4th, 2008 at 6:21 pm
I KNEW I should have checked out that swap meet while I was there, darnit! I wonder if anyone bought you!
October 4th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
Hey Joe,
Just be thankful they didn’t make you into bobble heads like NSYNC! Didn’t get to see you all because Grad School has left me bankrupt..jk ;p. If you do come to Buffalo, I will so be there! Thanks for the reunion, it brought back a really happy and innocent time for me! Before deadlines and adulthood!!!
Peace Out

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! I was at the CLEVELAND show last night and it was MORE than I could have ever DREAMED!!! Donnie’s smile was PRICELESS when he was in awe at the crowd’s . My best friend and I have little, squeeky voices!! The sound WAS INCREDIBLE! My ears vibrated with the bellow of the crowd and I had a NOSTALGIC moment back to the old days. I am still waiting to be PINCHED!! YOU guys are AWESOME!! I cannot believe how breathtaking this feels!
BTW- I wore a PINK feather BOAH and stood on a chair in HEELS to see your beautiful faces better(although I did get in trouble more times than once)!
LUV,

October 4th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
JOey, you make me smile! You are such a crooner:) I am sure the woman appreciated you signing that doll…I would have bought you but dolls give me the heebie jeebies!!!!! Dolls are like little demons or something…I think I was tainted by Poltergeist! Anyway, you’re such a sweet soul to do that for her…

October 4th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
So glad you are back! I loved you all at the DC show, though I only saw 3 songs when my 10 month old was rushed to the ER. My loyal friends left with me, and while we still had a blast, we want you to come back to DC!! Or somewhere close.. I need a raincheck!
October 4th, 2008 at 6:35 pm

October 4th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Joe, you’re such a riot. I guess the woman selling the dolls was not coming to the concert? Such a pity!
October 4th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
Joe–you and Donnie are naked in my minivan. My son found my old collection and has been toting you guys around in the car. He has renamed you as “Doll” and Donnie as “Man.?
October 4th, 2008 at 7:31 pm

Hi Joey…. Great show on Long Island!!! I can’t stop listening to your new songs. I make all my associates at work listen all day long, over and over, and make them laugh when I blurt out crazyness over Donnie. Seems that you hit the blog more often than he does. Can you do me a favor??? Can you please tell Donnie to read my message under his September blog? It’s pretty hot message. Kept it as clean as possible being on a public forum, but I think he’ll get a very clear picture of where I’m coming from. I’m near the bottom. Holy Hotness…He’s my “go to guy” when I’m not at the “full service” station if you know what I mean. I want to know, that he knows just how much his music “touches” me. Just typing this is getting me in the mood ….again. You know, to listen to some songs and…Anyway, like I said, great show at Nassau coliseum couple weeks ago and give Donnie D xoxoxox from Jonesbeach.
October 4th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Love the new album! I’m driving my old man nuts listening to it but atleast it put me in the mood to get some grown man from him
I missed you in Toronto and I bought a ticket- I moved out of town but I want to catch you in Detroit!! I’ve seen most of the concert on YOutube and I want it live. I love the baby an dswayze reference but I ownder if the young ones understand. Who cares.. you’re for us the 26 to thirty somethings. I’m 27 and I’ve spent more time with you guys than most of the closest people in my life. I’ve been with you since 86. And Donnie was that popsicle could be someones favorite song- I WAS 6 K! Love the new album and I can’t wait to meet you guys and get some face time. Please keep showing up cause I will if you do. And f$&& the critics they never got the relationship between us and you anyways. Thanks again for coming back- Made my year a little brighter.
October 4th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
Now that is hilarious! Can’t wait to see you in L.A.
Love,

October 4th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
Too funny! I have the two Joey dolls sitting in my bed room right now. LOL. My daughter took the hat off of chillaxed Joey and put it on my one cat. OMG. He looks so cute in it too! I gotta upload that pic onto here now I think!
October 4th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
I had Jordan’s doll. I have looked frantically for it but it is MIA. I just saw your Cleveland show and am still recovering. I was one of the one’s who waited 2 hours for you to leave the arena, surrounded your tour bus and then chased you 4 or 5 blocks. That and getting Danny’s (I think it was Danny - it was dark ) water bottle during the show has made up for the 15 years I’ve waited for this moment. Love you guys!!
October 4th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
you know - with all of the crazy unexpected coincidences that have happened this year - they are starting to not affect me anymore.
seriously. had this happened any other tme i would be like, “wow - that’s some crazy shit” but now? chalk this one up for the rest of the stories (even though you weren’t there for the craziest coincidence of them all you were filled in eventually)
see you soon you damn goof!
(you know i love you anyway)

October 4th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
That’s hilarious!! I still have the stage for the dolls if the Swap Meet Boys want to put on a show. I can’t tell you how many Donnie dolls I have. Everytime someone who hasn’t known me forever finds out that I like you, they show up with their old dolls like I didn’t buy them all myself back in the day.
I’ll bet whoever owned those dolls has kids because my little one is always taking the clothes off my plush dolls. I’m all for a nude Donnie in my room but I finally had to put the darn things up. Crazy!!
I see alot of love from the Detroit girls on here. You should stop by and see us before you head back to the West Coast. I couldn’t wait til Oct 25th though. I saw you in Toronto and was BLOWN AWAY!!! The show exceeded all my expectations!! And I’ll see you next weekend in Vegas too. I can’t wait to get my next fix.
Much Love and Kisses,
Shiela
October 4th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
That’s too funny!! Love the picture,LOL!!! I must say I was at the Cleveland show last night and we basically BLEW THE ROOF OFF!!! I have been waiting for this moment for a REALLY long time and I’m glad to say that I was not disappointed! One word AMAZING!!! You guys made my dream come true and I will forever love you for that! Thanks for a great show and I hope you will be coming back soon!!!

Anyways, congrats on the success of the tour so far, and thank you sooo much for doing this reunion. It was a long time coming and not only is it a chance for me to fall in love with you guys all over again, but I have been meeting so many wonderful people and have created friendships through this whirlwind experience.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

October 4th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
OK, its taken me awhile to figure out how to respond to this.
That must’ve been such a funny surreal moment to see yourself up for sale
.
I did notice one thing though…did you notice that your pants were undone? The thing that I wonder about…were they like that when you found them?
Just sayin….
See you Wednesday!! Can’t come soon enough!!

Joe, you little leprechaun you! Your so cute, and so amusing with your blogs. You never bore us fans, that’s for sure! Thanks for the bit of nostalgia, and a great story to boot. Love ‘ya, my irish brutha’! Your the “Mac”. Take care, stay safe, tell the rest of the guys “hey”, and have a great rest of the tour. See you at the Toyota Center in Houston Oct. 16th.
Loving you 4evr,

Hi Joe - thanks for the note. Good luck to the seller but I don’t know if people will believe you came by to sign the doll.
On my way home from seeing Madonna in concert. She was spectacular, of course, but it didn’t beat the show I saw there in Izod on 9/23. Can’t wait to see it again at MSG 10/27!
Stay healthy out there.
Love,

October 4th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
I JUST saw your show @ the Allstate Arena! My first NK show and I’m 29! It was the BEST. CONCERT. EVER. I loved it! That swap meet is there pretty often…My friend scored tix to the Oct. 24th show, so I’m going to see it again. I can’t wait!
You guys are back and better than ever. It’s on! Thanks for bringing back so many fond memories! You guys, no, men, are just the same as TWENTY years ago. Fame hasn’t jaded you or made you pretentious, that is amazing.
It’s refreshing to know that you all appreciate the dedication of your fans. It’s so FANTASTIC to know that us fans are appreciated and the reason you work so hard to put on a great show!
Keep on keepin’ on and keep drinking it up!
Thank. You. So. Much.
Much love, A loyal NKOTB fan since ‘88.

This is great!!! Can’t wait for you to come to MPLS! Joey - you are hoot! Love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 4th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
Okay, so first off Joey, this is the perfect example of why you guys have remained number 1 in all of our hearts for so long. You are classy, and great to us fans. By signing that doll, that just shows a level of appreciation for your fan base.
Now for my theory on why the dolls are only half dressed…She was trying to send you a message…Take off your shirts during the show! We love you guys, and we know how hard you have worked to make this reunion happen. All that work has paid off in more ways than one…let’s see those muscles!!
3 days and counting to L.A.!!
Peace, Love and New Kids 4 ever!

This is such a coincidence! I bet the lady will make a lot more $$$$
because now the dolls are even more special :):):)
You guys are so sweet, we love you and cannot wait to see you Wed.
Blessings always,
Love,
Mama and little man
October 4th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
You guys are something else! I just saw you in Cleveland and you rocked the house!! Thank you for all of the great memories! The last time I saw you was during the Magic Summer Tour (we all know how long ago that was). What makes you guys so special is that you really do appreciate your fans - you always have - and you show that in the performance you give! Well, we appreciate you, too!!
Anyway, have a great time on tour, take care, and be safe!
Love Ya,

I am new to your site, but I MUST commend you ALL on the show tonight in Chicago.
Never in my life have I seen such intense performances.
You all never missed a step. It’s like you never took time off from each other.
In my many years of concerts, I have to say that this was HANDS DOWN the best concert I’ve ever seen. NKOTB are TRUE performers and I can’t wait to see you again.
Maybe I’ll drive back up to Chicago at the end of October if I get the time off from work. I’m definitely going to work on that one!!
I’ve loved you since the late 80’s and I will NEVER stop loving you.
Keep up the INCREDIBLE work, guys!
You all look incredible…if you don’t mind me saying, even better than you did 15 years ago!!!

October 4th, 2008 at 11:33 pm

October 4th, 2008 at 11:57 pm
I Joey that was very kind of you to do that for for her. If she was smart she wo would sell it on e-bay LOL!
I have a question? If you guys \ don’t sell alot of tickets at one
your concerts will you still
perform their? (Sorry if this is
is all messed up I don’t know if
is just my computer or what?)
Donnie please don’t feel like
you are just merchandise. People
just love you! I am pretty sure
that people love you more than
your merchandise! Well I will
see you in San Diego. If you would
e-mail me at lesgin1979@aol.com and
let me know, that would make me so
happy! That is if you have time I
know and understand if you are to
busy. Love you guys. p.s don’t worry
I will only e-mail you once to thank
you then I would never e-mail you again.
so please don’t worry about that. Thanks

Thanks for sharing that story with us Joe. That was really funny and you put a big smile on my face a) because you just crack me up and b) because I’m happy you remembered us. It means a lot when you check in with us because I know with the tour and Griffin you’re really busy but your little funny stories like that make a lot of people happy. It’s nice to feel like we can share all your fun tour experiences with us (and I’m happy to hear that with all the chaos that you can still feel comfortable leaving your bus!
Hope you’re having fun.

OMG! I still have my dolls and the stage in my parents basement! Don’t worry, you all still have your clothes on. A couple of years ago, my mom wrapped everything in tissue to stay “just as they were.”
Good luck on your tour this year!
October 5th, 2008 at 7:30 am
Hello, my name is Diane Lucas and I am from Buffalo, NY. My 2 girlfriends (Lisa Hiede and Stephanie Vampotic) and I drove from Buffalo to Cleveland friday to see your show at the Quicken Arena. Just like everyone else, it has been a dream of ours to be at a NKOTB concert. We have never been so excited. We have been fans since we were 10. We purchesed the tickets online (section 100 row 11 seats 5,6,7) and also booked a room at the Hilton Gardenview. Everything from our car ride to the concert went just as planned. We felt like the luckiest women on the face of the earth. We watched Natasha’s act and she was great. During intermission my friends went to use the ladies room and came back to the seats just as your act started. The intro to the show had just started and we were standing up and cheering and Stephanie started to feel dizzy so she sat down. about 10 seconds into the show, I looked at her and her head was tilted back and he eyes were rolling around. I held onto her head and felt for a pulse and I felt nothing. I ran for the EMT’s and It took guite a while for them to get to her. While in the first aid the EMT’s shocked her heart at 200 volts and they rushed her to the Cleveland Clinic hospital (unit G 20 cardiac care) and told us that she had a heart attack. As of right now (sunday Oct 5 @ 9:58 am) she is the same as when they brought her into the hospital. She is unresponsive and is in a coma. I have never been so scared in my life. All i can think of and visualize is her eyes as I was holding her head and feeling for a pulse. Please pray for her, I don’t know what to do if I am to loose my best friend of 20 years. She is only 27 (turning 28 on the 20th of this month) and too young to die! The next time you sing Please don’t go girl, please sing it for Stephanie, she could really use it and it would mean alot to all of us.
Thank you,
Diane Lucas

ok…does anyone else notice how THE SWAP MEET BOYS sounds like another group who had a member leave??? lmfao.
anyway…joe you are too funny for your own good.
i hope she ended up getting more for it after you signed it!
October 5th, 2008 at 8:25 am
That’s so funny Joey…enjoy Chicago and the rest…can’t wait to see you again in London..Boston shows were fabulous x x x x x
October 5th, 2008 at 8:32 am
Funny how life works out sometimes. I bet 15 years ago she never thought she would be selling those dolls, let alone to one of the guys lol Have you ever read any of the Godwinks books? (SQuire Rushnell) It’s also weird to think I was 15 the first time I heard of them in 1988, and that’s about the same amount of time that has passes since they were last popular as a group. I had a lot of stuff become lost(stolen) about 10 years ago, including all of my New Kids stuff (except for a book and a pink comforter). Now I wish I had a few of the things to give to my 3yo also. However, I have decided I will not get back into that ‘gotta have that cause it’s nkotb’ thing again. It’s just merchandise with a name and photo…material things. That was crazy back then lol. I wonder how much debt my Mom had from that. And I didn’t even keep the stuff til I had kids of my own. Oh, and no more 10 page letters from me to the guys about nothing (or marriage) lol. The first time around I didn’t get tickets in time when they played at a local high school (1988 or 89), some months later had my Dad take me to a concert at a state fair a few hours away, that I didn’t have tickets for(watched from outside a chain-link fence)and the car broke down. But I was able to see the stage (but not a close-up view). I guess some of the seats inside were almost as far, so at least I had that. That whole decade I think I was obsessed with the guys and with the merchandise. I don’t like them any less, but we have all grown, and I’m not going to get into the craziness this time around. If God allows me to meet any of them, he will allow it without me trying to go into debt lol The farthest we travel right now is to Columbus, since we live in WV (Columbus is about 2-3 hours). And if I don’t meet any of them this time around, I will just wait til next time. Another thing I have learned is if I want something, and God says I can have it, he gives it to me when it’s the right time, without too much effort on my part. You can try and try as hard as you want for something, but if you don’t do things the right way you will either not get what you want, or you will get a lesser version of it than what God would have given had you done things the right way.
Sorry this is so long! Well, the dogs are awake and needing out…(mature grown-up stuff lol)So I should get priorities straight and get off the nkotb blog lol
>:D< that’s towards that million hugs thing, since I probably won’t see any of the guys in person any time soon …
Sherry
October 5th, 2008 at 8:48 am
LMAO! So did you swap yourself for the Joe doll? If so I wanna know who the lucky girl was that got to buy that merchandise!
Had a great time at the 5 shows we went to! Thanks for an absolute blast! Can’t wait now til we see you all again in the UK.

That is too funny, Joe! My sister and I loved the concert in DC Thursday night! We were so excited to stand next to the mini stage and see you all up close! You all are amazing and gave us a night we will never forget! Thank you (our favorite!) and to all of the NKOTB.
P.S.”Please don’t ever go away…”
October 5th, 2008 at 10:00 am
I should have been at the Swap Meet. My mom was there but I didn’t go with her. Oh well, I guess I will never get the chance to meet you guys. : (
October 5th, 2008 at 10:44 am
Just wanted to say that i was at the oct 3rd concert and it was great. I like to say how sry i am that Danny lost his mom to breast cancer. I have a aunt who is a survier of breast cancer and I think its wounderful that he and all of you are taking part in that. I look forward to many more concerts and good luck to all of you.
October 5th, 2008 at 10:45 am
omg i would never sell my nkotb dolls hope t meet the guys 11/07 at the concert in ac it would make my life complete.
October 5th, 2008 at 10:45 am
That’s hilarious!!! You are very kind to sign it and up the resale value. You rock!
October 5th, 2008 at 11:01 am
Joe, although it is a little humorous i have to agree with Donnie. Having a
mini swap meet, it just doesnt seem very classy. I have held on and
treasured all my stuff since i was 12, and there is no way in hell i would
sell any of it! Some things dont have a price tag on it and cant be bought.
I have had many memories with all my stuff and thats worth more than any
amount of money.That said i cant wait for my concerts to come up and i will
be wearing my buttons with no price tag on it.
Much love

Hey guys ~ saw you last night (Oct 4) in Chicago - all I can say is WOW!! You blew me away, I am still hoarse and can’t hear anything - so worth it!! It was amazing, there are truly no words. It was a DREAM come true for me and my friend Jamie, who I became friends with due to our love of New Kids! We are also going to be at the Oct 24th show in Chicago - can’t wait! I am so proud of you guys - you rocked! I took 500 pictures (LOL - I know, I know), but I got some GREAT shots of you all together, and seperate. If you want to see them I would love to forward some to you! Thank you for bringing NKOTB back to us after 15 years! Luv Lisa

October 5th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Joe- now I knew you were funny, but I didn’t know you were THIS funny! Your comments on Friday in Cleveland about the fan in the front row going “Pose for me! Pose for me!” cracked me up so much! Yeah- you can totally laugh your way right into the bedroom!! Best night ever- it’s such a good thing that the show was so amazing- because I can’t believe I didn’t meet you guys- such a downer- I was totally ready, and SURE that we were going to! You HAVE to come to Cincinnati soon! You can’t hide from me here
October 5th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
Joe you crack me up! I’d buy ya!
October 5th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
My friend and I drove 3 1/2 hours yesterday to catch the show, it was awsome! You guys all sang perfectly all night and the show is high energy the whole time! A perfect 10! I want to see it again! The only thing nicer would have been to be backstage, meeting you guys! I love you NKOTB, you should keep making albums and touring, don’t stop here!
October 5th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
That is too funny! It sounds like something that would happen to me lol! I love the updates. Keep them coming!!
October 5th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
That is so funny!!!
You guys were absolutely amazing in Cleveland!!!
Please consider coming to Pittsburgh!!!!!!
October 5th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
I still have my little Donnie. I wouldn’t give him away for anything! Can’t wait till you guys get out to LA. My friends and I will be seeing you at the Nokia theatre and we want some face time!!!

Who would have thought Joe would happen upon a Swap Meet to buy himself lol The woman, I’m sure, got a pretty penny when the fans started showing up for the show there. It was nice of you to sign yourself
That sounds too funny

Joey -I got your doll for my 9th or 10th birthday. It was the only gift I asked for, so you can imagine how happy I was. Then tragedy struck and my younger cousin broke you an hour later; I cried for a week.
I never did get a new Joey doll….. Meeting you in person could correct the years of pain.
Loved you in Cleveland Friday night! Best night of my life!!
October 5th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
I kept all of my New Kids memorabilia! It’s priceless. I went to the show in Cleveland on Friday. Thank you for a wonderful night! You guys are awesome!
Love You!

That is absolutely hysterical!!!!
Hope you guys are enjoying a few days off.
I had the time of my life in Cleveland. My daughter was so elated when she saw that you signed her piece of artwork! Once again you’ve made her year.
Tell Donnie that I did have the “most f***ing fun of my whole life”.
You guys never disappoint. I’m sorry that I won’t get the chance to go to another show, but I do recall Jordan saying “see you next year” at the end of the show. I sure hope that’s a promise.
Love ya,
maggie
October 5th, 2008 at 2:28 pm

I can’t believe someone would sell those dolls. Mine got stolen out of a storage unit along with all my other NKOTB memorabilia and barbie dolls. I was totally heartbroken. So it has been my mission to buy all the dolls and memorabilia that was stolen from me. I am a very sentimental person and those dolls meant the world to me. All I can say is thank God for e-bay!
October 5th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
lmao… i love how she has you all half naked.. my kind of woman..;) lol
October 5th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
Joe,
Please continue to keep us updated. Every time I look at this website, I always leave with a good feeling and a smile and I have you all to thank for that!!
Thanks for sharing. I love getting to hear the blogs from you guys! It sounds as though you all are having a great time! Your fans really do love you all. Thanks for the blog. It put a smile on my face today!

Went to the show Friday night in Cleveland - wish Pittsburgh was on the tour but it was worth the drive - it was amazing. We had so much fun! The show was great, thanks for the memories!!
October 5th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
The Cleveland show was awesome. It seemed like you all never skipped a day together. You danced perfectly. The songs were awesome. I think it was the best NKOTB concert ever. I hope you continue to make music together. I know I will buy it! Your concert was the first one I had ever gone to when I was 13, back in 1987. Please let your fans know if you will be continuing after the tour or will this be it????? You know you can not leave us hangin’ plus, you can get more fans that are younger than 20 if you make get on the block again.
Good Luck, AND HANG TOUGH!

OK so I just left a message but forgot to tell you a funny story…you would be so proud of your fans….
Last night after the Chicago concert several of your fans 50-60 all ended up at a Sports Bar close to the Arena. They were playing jukebox songs and Hangin Tough came on…..the place went crazy!! Girls were up on chairs, tables and pool tables…we were singing, yelling and waiving our hands…it was quite a scene. The other patrons who were not fans were like what the hell is going on!! It was a mini concert minus you guys, best part of course. Thought I’d share our fun time last night out. As I said before concert was great…oh and I meant Naptown (Indy) not chitown needs to be a stop next year.
Much love

October 5th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Hi Joe, that was funny. I would never sell mine, been saving it for 15 years. I saw you in Cleveland the other night and I’m dying to hear you guys’ toughts about it. That was the first time I ever saw you and it was a dream come true…Some Face time would have made it better but i’m not complaining. I got great pics and video that I will cherish forever. I’m trying to find a way to see you again. My mind has been wondering ever since. The concert met all my expectations. I was surprised how excited I got when I saw you guys come out. All us girls have a love affair with you all and it will last forever and I left satisfied. Thank you so much for getting back together. Did you guys get to go out at all in Cleveland..Send some video and pics on the page…Dying to hear about it..Whats your thoughts about Cleveland?
Love you forever

Now that I’ve already been to the concerts I could get to (both in TO - both AMAZING) it’s blogs, NKTV, TV/radio appearances & of course the music that feed my addiction, so thank-you for the sharing your experiences along the way!
I recently found my Jordan doll & out of curiosity had to listen to the tape that came with it (an interview with all 5 guys). It was like being 10 years old all over again. Although I must say the woman I am now is REALLY into “The Block”! Great work guys, keep it up, enjoy yourselves & come back to TORONTO soon!

Too funny! We got to our hotel early and decided to find Will Call so we’d know where to pick up our tickets, and we saw the swap meet, but didn’t go in. Little did we know that we could have found a treasure!
We were there around 10 a.m. I think. So, we ventured over to Target next door, and who do we see there? BARRETT! Of course we didn’t go up to her or anything, it looked like she was buying Griffen something and we didn’t want to bother her.
And that Donnie comment was freakin’ hilarious! You do have your moments.
October 5th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
hay guys I’ve been a fan of yours since I was 12,I’m 29 now and missed you guys glad to have you back. I had a nkotb nightgown and your poster above my bed but I either threw it out or have it in storage. I was hoping you can sign your new cd from one of your concerts, I will greatly appreciate it. I love your music, especially the old stuff. That story is too funny donnie. My fave nkotb is donnie, joey and Jordan. Can’t come to your concert in MSG.My email is peachesak@MSN.com can you please write back!!!!!!Please!!!!!!!!!!!! I remain your fan 4ever Argie kalamotousakis.PS my bday is feb 13,1979.
October 5th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
I went to your show last night in Chicago and it was absolutely amazing. I knew it would be good but man, that was far beyond what I had imagined and just wanted to say thank you for all of your obvious hard work. You put on one hell of a show. Thanks!!!!
October 5th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!
I love it! I have those dolls!
My son has been using them to drive around in his trucks and the other day they got run over by a little tykes big rig. Yeah, well, he’s a boy! LMAO!

I LOVE reading these blogs!! You guys are amazing! I blogged on the NKOTB website about my sad HOAX experience with a so called cousin of Jordan & John when I was 14. Not sure where else to post it in hopes 1 of the 5 of you would get a chance to read it! Can’t wait till to see you in Tampa!!
Much Love & Respect,

my sister Lee and I went to the dc show. It was amazing. We were very close to the stage, she snuck up front and tookthe most amazing pictures. She is very talented when It comes to photography. Anyway we wanted our Face time with Donnie, but it never happened. I live in Raleigh and would make the trip to charlotte if I could get a hint of where I could meet up with him. can I get a clue? Pretty please
thanks Amy G

October 5th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Hey Joe! My friend and I were at that show-and we were at the areana way early and got to see u riding around on that golf cart with your wife and son.Later we ran into a security person that told us you had done that.I would’ve kept the dolls lol!

October 5th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Awww, that was nice of you to sign your doll and Donnie is crazy to think he just a piece of merchandise he more than that to us. I still have my dolls lol I have Joey, Jordan, and Donnie never got Danny or Jon couldn’t find them back in the day I wouldn’t sell my for any price they are sentimental to me.
October 5th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Christmas, 1991…I was in 1st Grade then…My sister and my brother both had New Kids dolls…Kori had Jordan and Jon…my brother had Danny and I had a Popple. Those stuffed animals that you could turn into a ball…with fluffy tails. Anyways, everyone was fawning over their dolls…and no one cared about my Popple. To make things worse my cousin Shelly showed up with her Donnie doll…So I threw a hissy fit. Started crying. My grandmother, fed up with my antics, went into the bathroom and took a package off the top of the cabinet there. It was shaped like a Barbie box…wrapped in plane white paper…she literally threw it at me and said, “Don’t expect a birthday present!! Not quit your whining!” I felt horrible…but being the greedy kid that I was I unwrapped it…to find my VERY OWN Joe doll…the best for last…smiling back at me. Joe, your “mini me” was my “main ‘Ken Doll’” throughout the 90s. You dated a bevy of beautiful Barbies and you always were dressed like a hawaiian tourist…yellow flowered shirt and orang shorts…I bit your toes off for some reason in second grade. Sorry. Sadly I lost that doll when our house burnt down in 1999. But I purchased a new one this year. The memories came right back like my old one never left. I love you guys lol
See ya in PHILLY!

Joe,
Let me just say, the Chicago show was AWESOME!!!!! I went with my sisters and a bunch of my cousins and we had a blast. You guys were so great. It was a dream come true to see you again. The last time I saw you I was in high school. Now I am married and have three kids. However, last night,I felt like I was 15 all over again. I hope that you guys continue to enjoy what you are doing. You are making your fans really happy all over again!
I can’t thank you enough!

IMy dad is sick and my sister and I spend a lot of time taking care of him, but how wonderful was it to have Saturday night to just reminisce and have a good time. THANK YOU GUYS FOR THAT! The last time I saw you guys I was 10 years old and I never got to see Donnie because he was injured (trap door I think). Your show brought me back to 1991 all over again. You were my first concert and I saw this show with the same girl I saw it with in 91. I also want to thank you for your support of breast cancer research - my mom also died of breast cancer 6 years ago and it is unfortunately all too common these days. thanks for your energy and for showing me and my friends such a great time! Oh and when you guys came into the audience you were right in front of us and that was such a great way to show love to all your fans no matter where they were sitting!
October 6th, 2008 at 12:37 am

October 6th, 2008 at 3:09 am
Aw…I think we should be making some mullet dolls for when you guys come over to the UK in January

October 6th, 2008 at 5:21 am
Joe, first off I have to say that I love you and have since 1988 of course you were a little too young for me back then. LOL I was 18 then. My best friend Lisa and I were at the show in Cleveland. We drove from Northern Kentucky too see you guys. The show was the best one yet! She and I were waiting for you guys to get back together. The show ROCKED!!! We are hoping you all will make a date in Cincinnati. Of course she and I will travel anywhere to see you guys. We have done it before. We have even been to Boston three times. Anyway PLEASE set a date for Cincinnati. Cincinnati loves you guys and wants to see you all here. We will be waiting !!!! If someone e-mails one of us we can show you all of the pictures that we have taken over the years of all of you. She and I have met all of you so many times and it never gets old. We just wish that we would be able to do it again sometime soon.
Love your 2 biggest fans,
Christine & Lisa from Cincinnati P.S. I have your name tatooed on my belly

Hope to see you again soon!!
October 6th, 2008 at 5:47 am
Hey Joe!
Thanks for blogging! And it seems that you guys have been updating a few things too, thats awesome, always willing to please aye? I have to tell you, Griffen is adorable. I have been a fan for 18 years now… sheesh has it really been that long?? I was in high school, calling the NKOTB Hotline from the faculty lounge around this time 18 years ago… NICE! LOL
Love you guys, so proud of you all.
Can’t wait to see you all back in Chicago!
Hugs for all of you,

October 6th, 2008 at 7:25 am
Ha Ha Ha, Hey now, if I would have known you guys were over in the swap meet I might have left my post by the fences and went over and stalked you all over there!! CHICAGO WAS AMAZING!!! All I kept saying was how awesome it all was to have the opportunity to relive this all over again! Here I am a married mother of 2 out stalking tour buses all day. What an amazing time! Right when I arrived at the arena my friend and I turn to see Joey approaching the side of our car in a golf cart…OMG!!!! THEN we got good facetime, pics and a great “Happy Birthday” hug from Donnie! I can’t think of a better way I could have celebrated 31!! The show was AMAZING!!!! You guys rocked it out! You all looked like you were having a BLAST! I will definitely be going to another show!!Thank you so much! Hope Jon is doing ok, I heard he wigged out a little in Target. We all love you Jon and appreciate all you do.LOVE YOU ALL!!
October 6th, 2008 at 7:26 am
Hey NKOTB I just want to say i absolutly loved every moment of the Cleveland show, i was right in the front of the action, 4th row center stage it was the most magical night of my life. i have to say that i believe Jordan was singing to me directly - i even got to see them off when the tour bus left, and Jordan even remembered me as i reached for his hand. I even got to touch him for a brief moment and it was like i was in one in the Step by Step video, lol it was myself, my 2 older sisters and my 13yr old neice. she is only 13 but is a fan because her mother and aunts are nuts about you guys. you all still sound amazing and next trip around i will get back stage passes and get to meet you guys in person. HOPEFULLY!!! <3 Amanda M. Cleveland, OH
October 6th, 2008 at 7:38 am
My friends and I were at the Chicago show. We didn’t visit the “swap meet” but we were in front of the arena early (2:00) hoping to catch a glimpse of someone. We seen Jon drive off in a van. That was exciting enough!
We LOVED the show. We’re all 32 year old women with husbands and children. The show brought us back to a different time in our life where we weren’t worried about gas prices, the struggling economy and paying bills in general. It was an amazing experience. One that I will truly remember forever. Thank you for coming back into our lives and making us feel young again. We loved you when we were 12 and love you even more now

October 6th, 2008 at 7:46 am
OMG!! I KNEW I should have checked out the swap meet!! LOL But instead, I got facetime with you and Donnie, so, I will take that!! Thanks SO much Joe for the facetime and taking the time to talk with us fans, and signing my FACETIME shirt, you ARE the best!! Love you!!

October 6th, 2008 at 7:49 am
wahahaha … So funny! It IS a good thing you’re also playing inside the arena!
And is it just me or does anybody else think it funny that 3 out of 4 dolls (huh? was this picture taken after you bought yours Joe?) don’t have a shirt on, LOL. Tsk, tsk … I’m pretty sure they were sold WITH clothes first time around! ;).
17 more days before getting on the plane over to NY for my holiday … 21 more days before the MSG concert!! I feel lousy with my cold & fever … but I’d rather be sick now than get sick in 17 days!

Caught your Chicago gig on October 4th. Well done!! Nostalgia aside, you guys put on an incredible show and your new album is impressive. As a Boston girl transplanted to Chicago, I loved all of the subtle (and not so subtle) references to Beantown. Hearing the accents made me feel like home and the MBTA logo in NKOTB was a highlight.
My first New Kids concert was at Barnstable High School (the Cape) in the late eighties and as soon as you guys came on stage last Saturday, I was right back there – minus the pegged Z Cavaricci jeans and scrunchies , of course.
During the show, Donnie mentioned how going to a show like yours brings you emotionally back….brings you closer to old friends and provides a sense of heartwarming nostalgia. I couldn’t agree more. My girlfriend flew out from Quincy to see the show and we were like little kids all day long, so excited to come to the show.
On a business note: I’m not sure how much interaction you or someone on your team has with your fans before and after the show, but the majority of concert attendees had customized New Kids T-shirts on. I saw some really funny ones, notably: I still love Jordan and my husband just deals. You might want to think about getting a photographer or two out there to grab pics for your blog posts.
Thanks again for another great show and a ton of fantastic memories.
October 6th, 2008 at 8:37 am
That is too funny, thanks for the laugh Joe.
October 6th, 2008 at 8:42 am
i had 10 dolls. 5 with the concert clothing and 5 “hangin’ loose” if i remember correctly….hahaha…and the concert stage to go along with it…oi.
October 6th, 2008 at 8:45 am
ps: danny is wearing jordans clothing…i probly shouldn’t admit to remembering that.
October 6th, 2008 at 8:59 am
LOL LOL LOL!! Joe you did at least make the woman’s day by signing the doll for her.And I bet you made a lot girls happy when they all saw you at the swap meet.Your a good man Joe!! love ya
P.S how come is there only 4 of you? unless I can’t see that good and there are actually 5 of you.
October 6th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Heehee! 16 more days!!!! I can’t wait…it’s getting closer…closer…closer!!!! I will finally get to meet you all, get to catch one of your FATANSTIC live shows (since I’ve seen bits and pieces, WOW…) Save some energy for October 22 in Milwaukee. I know it’s a mid-week show…but this will be one “hump day” I’ll NEVER forget! <3
October 6th, 2008 at 9:27 am
I was fortunate enough to attend Saturday’s show @ the Allstate Arena. My friend scored tickets to the Oct. 24th show! I’m 29 and this was my first NKOTB concert. I never thought I’d see one. I always hoped you five would get back together. Oh, FYI: There’s a swap meet all the time on the weekends at the Allstate!
I had such an amazing time. This concert was everything I hoped it would be! I can only imagine how tiring touring can be, esp. on a LONG tour like this one. It’s so great to see that you enjoyed yourselves! The roar was DEAFENING!
It was so touching that you guys acknowledged us fans. I know that you truly appreciate the loyalty of your fans. It is so refreshing to see that after all these years; you guys aren’t all “Hollywood”. You love your fans, so humble and unpretentious! Always going the extra mile to show how much you care and are grateful. Not like a lot of superstars who seem to hate the fans that show undying support.
I remember when I first heard your music.
NKOTB was the first thing I was passionate about as a little girl. I drove my parents and older brother CRAZY. Now, twenty years later, I’m driving my husband crazy, ha ha.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Keep on rockin’! Much love to everyone’s favorite “5 bad brothers from the Beantown land”! See you October 24! We’ll be in Sec. 103, Row AA!
With Love,
Judy
October 6th, 2008 at 9:46 am
LMFAO!!!!! That’s funny…. My friend and I went to the last show in Toronto. I wanted to bring my Senators blanket to the concert to get noticed but I didn’t want to start a riot.. LOL.. I am from Ottawa but I’m not a Sens fan..
I balled when you guys started the show to the time my friend and I walked to the hotel!!!
You guys blew our minds at the show and I would go again in a heartbeat..
Thanks again for the beautiful memories of summer 2008!!!
Love you guys lots!!!!

AWESOME, FANTASTIC, UNBELIEVEABLE show Saturday you ROCKED Chicago!!! So great to have you all back together….looking forward to finding another show to attend!
October 6th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Looks like there are some missing shirts. I guess the Barbie Mob ripped them off,LOL! I still have my Donnie doll. I wanted to bring it to DC, but I forgot.
October 6th, 2008 at 10:16 am
My friends and I had sooooo much fun on Saturday. It was like a high school reunion. Very surreal and familiar. It was the greatest time and I am feeling very fragile and sad that you will be back in 2 weeks and I can’t go. I planned a work event specifically for that day so I will be distracted! A girl my mom works with will be at the meet and greet in Chicago on October 22nd and I told her to say Hello to Donnie for me! Donnie, I was at a concert in Chicago in 1989 and I screamed I love you Donnie and you said did someone say they loved me? I wI’ll cherish that always! BTW,I still do! XOXO! Thanks guys for an amazing night and 20+ years of music and memories.
October 6th, 2008 at 10:45 am
I wish I could meet u guys. Donnie i know what u mean i would too. Boston all the way!!!! messauga me if u guys can

Joey,
I hope I get the chance to see you guys again….it was well worth the wait all these years, let’s just not make it that long again 
In my world you are priceless!! BTW can I just say the D.C. concert was AWWWWESOMMMMEEEE!!! I haven’t screamed that loud since I was 14 at the concert at the old RFK stadium. It was great because I got to go with my best friend from growing up…she and I went to all the concerts for you guys back in the day. We had a blast remember back to the days where we would camp out over night to get good tickets, and how are rooms were plastered with your faces. Oh and who could forget the phone line that you could call daily to get updates on you guys….and the $500 bill that my parents got from me calling constantly!!! Thankfully they were pretty cool about it! Anyway the concert was great…. I screamed so loud that my baby in the womb kept me up all night, kicking like crazy. I think I traumatized him a bit
smooches

Much to my surprise, I now have a new favorite band! I was at your concert in Chicago on Saturday and I must say I was VERY impressed! As 26 year old Iowa girl, this was my first encounter with NKOTB and I was so impressed that I would gladly see you in concert again. I’m sure you all hear this quite often…everyone looked and sounded great! To Donnie, from the young dancing blonde seated in the near center of row ten (floor seats)…wow…you are simply talented and gorgeous! Best wishes to all of you on tour, I hope to see you again!
October 6th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
I went to your I love you guys, always have, always will. I was at your concert in Chicago and it was by far the best concert I have ever attended. You brought back all those feelings I felt back in the day. I LOVE YOU DONNIE, JOE, JORDAN, DANNY AND JON, don’t ever go away again. I’ll see you on the 24th again!!! Love, Mady
October 6th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
I did not even see the swap meet. We were in line for the VIP pre-party thing. Which, was fabulous! The Chicago show kicked @ss! The guys were funny and even more gorgeous in person! Wish I could have bought me a Donnie Doll! LOL!
All I got to say is this:
VIP 5 Star Tickets = $350
Outfit, Gas and Merchandise = $300(+)
Having Donnie Wahlberg kiss your lips after years and years of being a fan = Priceless!
October 6th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
hey Joe! why can’t i ever find you in a parking lot and have you sign my dolls? oh well maybe “someday” see you soon!
October 6th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Hey Joe….. ya know I love how you always make time to keep us posted and let us know your thoughts and the little things that you guys do while on tour. It makes me feel like we’re all experiencing this with you guys and it makes us feel like you want us to be part of it…not just saying it! I frequently check back for little notes from you on the nkotb site as well as your website… and I love it. Thank you for always thinking of us and making me feel like you want us to know it all. With love from New York ~88elaine317

My sisters and I were at the Chicago show. We met Donnie and Joe. Joe you are an incredible person. It is so nice to meet a guy who so many idolize yet you were so down to earth and you showed how much you appreciated all your fans. Even the ones that was a little crazy. We did not fight through the crowd of girls to be able to take a pic with you but thank you for coming out and greeting your fans. I heard Danny was great although we missed him. I have to say that I was disappointed in the rest of you guys. Donnie seemed very disconnected from the fans. I guess expected more from him. Jon drove by us two times on a cart. We were on the other side of the arena with no other fans in sight except us three. We asked calmly for him to stop and take a pic with us. He just drove by on his cart. Jordan liked to tease the fans. He never did come out. We completely enjoyed the concert. We love the new CD and all the music on it. I wish it wasn’t as sexual so I could let my kids listen to it. Again I just want to brag on Joe. Your wife is very lucky to have a husband with all this fame yet he does not let it go to his head. P.S. I have to say you are pretty lucky to have your wife she is beautiful and to be able to put up with some of those fans and still keep a smile is something! Tell her thank you for supporting you in this.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Hahahahaha, OMG Joe you are the funniest mo-fo’ ever, for real! I freakin’ love you Maaaaaaan!!! “He felt like a piece of merchandise” hahahaha, wow!!! Poor DBerg
It’s all good tho. I bet she didn’t even know you guys were playing that night, did she? I bet she about shit when she saw you walk up, that’s too awesome!
About the Cleveland show:
I saw NKOTB in concert 18 years before this and was over excited but I never thought you guys would be better than I even imagined you would be. I laughed, I cried, I danced and jumped up & down, I screamed and sang my ever loving heart out! You did songs I didn’t think you would do and some OLD school shit that had my jaw on the floor (Jordan)! It was amazing and I’ll never forget it, thank you! Danny looks flawless.
Donnie is the star of the show but Joe steals it right from under him, sorry….it’s true. And when you tried not to laugh during ‘Click click click’ and had to cover your mouth and then proceeded to put that girl out on Front Street after the song, I was crackin’ up! You were like: “This girl up front here was posing her ass off! *imitating pose* I’m sorry but that shit was funny!” hahahaha. I know you know what I’m talking about. I’m done.
Peace!

October 6th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
That’s GREAT! I can’t wait to see you when you guys come back on the 24th! Too bad it’s on a Friday! No Flea Market that day :^( I have floor tickets so I’m looking forward to seeing you guys on the small stage I heard rumors of!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
First I have to say DONNIE I LOVE YOU!!!!! I was at your Allstate Arena show in Chicago on October 4th! You guys were awesome. I am 29 years old now and I felt like it was just yesterday my room was covered with NKOTB posters and my closet was filled with t-shirts and pajamas. When I was little I never was able to get tickets to your show so when I heard you guys were back I bought my tickets the minute they were on sale. I was lucky enough to be sitting right infront of the circular stage and I was able to get your attention and you even blew me a kiss. You made my dream finally become a reality. My friends and I enjoyed your show so much we just bought tickets to your 2nd Chicago show on Oct. 24th, hopefully we will be able to meet you face to face. You guys still got it and dont let anyone tell you different!!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
OK WELL JOEY I WOULD BUY YOU ANYTIME LOL AND MY MOM WOULD BUY JON ANYTIME TO. I HOPE YOU GUYS COME BACK TO MONTREAL QUEBEC BECAUSE FOR SURE I WILL BE THERE TO SEE YOU IN PERSON BECAUSE YOU ARE MY FAV IN THE GROUP.
KISS AND HUGS TO YOU JOEY
October 6th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
……………………………..Come sign mine.. I still have my NKOTB dolls sitiing in my Barbi Ferarri…….
October 6th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Wow! That’s pretty funny. I’m with Donnie on that one though. Hugs to you!!!
October 6th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
So, When are you coming to Buffalo?? I got real hugs for ya here Don!
October 6th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
I was at the Cleveland show on Oct 3rd…it really brought back a lot of memories. When I was 12, my friend’s parents took us to see you guys, that was my very first concert, ever. And at your show, it was great to forget about the stresses of daily life now, even for just a few hours, and be reminding of something I enjoyed so immensely when I was just 12 years old. I felt like a kid again! Thank you! Great show!
October 6th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
I was at the Oct 3 show in Cleveland and you guys rocked it!!!!!! it brought back so many good memories!!!!! You guys were my first concert when I was 11 yrs old, now I am 30 and I can drink we had a blast. Hope you come back again you were away wayyyyyyyyy to long. PS love the new album xoxoxox
October 6th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
That’s awesome, Joe. Tell Jordan a friend bought his doll for me back in the day. Now, my little girl has stripped all his clothes off and he happily lives in a sea of naked Barbie dolls! My best friend Cindy and I went to every concert y’all ever had in Atlanta and we have tickets to your October 29th show at Gwinnett center. We can’t wait! See ya there.
October 6th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Man, I knew I should have just broken down and paid the $1 to get into the swap meet. Reading this blog Joe has put a smile on my face. It was great to see you again after NYC last month. You and the golf cart were very entertaining. Thanks for the FACE TIME and the autograph again. I am part of the Official Face Time Crew (the ladies with the pink shirts).
The show in Chicago blew me away. I have decided it was better than the MAGIC SUMMER TOUR, and that was a hard one to beat in my mind. Can’t wait for the next 3 shows and to ‘meet ‘n greet’ you guys when you come back to Chi-Town on the 24th. Oh, and you won’t have to worry about that swap meet when you come back, it only operates on the weekends…LOL!!! Thanks again guys for everything you do and have done for us over the last 22 years. It means alot to me personally and I am sure there are many others who feel the same as I do.

October 6th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
My dolls are preserved in the basement somewhere, I’m sure they could lend those guys some clothes… a hat at least…
October 6th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
You guys are amazing. My sisters and I recently went to the Mohegan Sun concert. It was the best concert I have ever been to. I have been to your other concerts, but this one was incredible. You guys put your whole hearts into this tour and it shows. The new music rocks. It is amazing to see just how all ages love you guys. My youngest sister is just turning 21, (10 years younger than me) and is now one of your biggest fans.
Thanks for coming back
October 6th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
Hey Guys, My sister and I went to your Chicago concert on Saturday (her 34th b-day present) and your show was amazing! You guys really rocked the house! The atmosphere was so great! It was so worth the four hour drive from Green Bay, Wisconsin. I had so much fun dancing and singing that I decided to buy tickets to the Milwaukee show and see you guys again. This time I am hoping to get some facetime. I ran into Zach right before the show, but I was so nervous I forgot what to say (duh). I just wanted to thank you for such a great show, you guys sounded good, looked good and performed well. Great job guys!
Later

I want to say something off the topic here…. I recently went on hot899.com, it’s a radio station here in Ottawa… There is a petition on this site wanting you Joe to call the radio station and explain to us why you said “Canada was a warm-up — a good place to get the kinks out.” this is from the rolling stone mag… I have 2 questions!!!!
1- Why did you say that when your Canadian fans are loyal just as much as the United States fans and the fans across the world?
2- Why do your have rehearsals? Are they suppose be warm ups?
Call hot 89.9. You owe the Canadian fans an explanation!!!!!!
P.S. I signed the petition!!!!
((((( I LOVE YOU DONNIE )))))

How sweet that you would sign it for her to make a little more cash, although, personally I wouldn’t be selling it!!
Saw the Cleveland show and fell more in love with you guys than I ever was in 6th grade. I was often made fun of, because I “never outgrew you”. I didn’t get to see you in my youth, but I am so grateful I got to go to the show. Next time, come to Columbus, getting lost in Cleveland wasn’t that fun, I wasn’t driving, but we drove around for an hour and a half. Love the NKTV clips, Joey, your son is beautiful, like father, like son!! Love you~ Jenn
October 7th, 2008 at 12:51 am
HILARIOUS!!! I went to this concert and OMG it was the BEST CONCERT EVER!!! I lost my voice and couldn’t walk the next day because I NEVER sat down BUT SO WORTH IT!!! Your CONCERT was BETTER than JANET’S CONCERT!!! And that’s hard for me to say because Janet is my ULTIMATE IDOL but you guys are my ULTIMATE LOVERS…. I flew all the way to CHICAGO for your concert because I needed to share it with my older cousin who introduced me to you guys when I was ummmmmmmmmmmmmm FOUR YEARS OLD!!! Now ALMOST 24, I’m even MORE OBSESSED! When I was in KINDERGARTEN I would carry a JORDAN balloon on a stick around with me EVERYDAY!!! ahahahhaah and THANK YOU JORDAN for performing “Baby I believe in you”… sighhhhhhh I use to sleep to that performance every night and well when I saw you rising up you literally TOOK my breathe awake because I started to CHOKE and couldn’t breathe BUT it’s all for YOU and I’m fine now.
And soooooooo I’m here in SAN JOSE ahahhahhaa awaiting your arrival yet again ahahhahha…
P.S Ummmmmmmm I love “Hangin’ Tough” and I know you guys are from BOSTON and remembered that song was made for the CELTICS…AND I’m a LAKERS FAN…. enough SAID… I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
October 7th, 2008 at 5:04 am
HELP! I need more NKOTB!!! We were at this concert at Allstate arena. It was perfect. They did such a great job. I have to go to another concert. We drove 6 hours to get to this one, All of the others are over 12 hours away. Does anyone know how I can find out if they are going to add more dates? Do I need to drive to one of the others or are they adding more? HELP!

I applaud you for having enough of a sense of humor to sign yourself, and not take it seriously. I would love to have seen that woman’s face when she realized who you were! Better yet, I would love to have been her and seen you in person…
October 7th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
Ha, that’s funny! I couldn’t imagine seeing myself as a doll! Although, I’d like to look like one of my daughter’s barbie dolls! That was really cool of you to sign the doll for the woman.
p.s. I saw you live in Toronto on Sun. 21st of Sept. You guys were great. Welcome back!

October 7th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Love the sawp meet story, how hilarious! and what a surreal moment for both of you! Wish I could see you in LA. You guys are so awesome, it feels like this moment isn’t going to last and you guys are going to leave again. I’m just bummed that I won’t get to be a part of this. Thanks for coming back to us, you didn’t disappoint. Please don’t leave us again. I love you Jordan!!!!(bet you don’t hear that often)hehehe.

Big Boobie hug to all the boys for working so hard to save the TaTa’s!!!! Your support and help in raising awareness means the most-BTW It would be great to buy those 5 star all access passes for Milwaukee or Chicago that are all sold out-Name your price boys and give the proceeds to Breast Cancer-Win/Win for all!!!

I would just like to say “THANKS!!” to Jordan as he made October 5th. the greatest day of my life!! We were in the security line at the Chicago airport, I was OF COURSE wearing my NKOTB shirt I bought the night before at the Chicago show and someone behind me speaks up and says they like the T-shirt I am wearing!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME TO BRISBANE in AUSTRALIA! It’s not called the Sunshine State for nothing! I emigrated a year ago with my husband and 6 year old son and am gutted that I can’t get back to see any of your shows in the UK! Your’e playing at my home town Newcastle too! I was at the London shows in 1990 and my mum was too as one of your oldest fans I think! She was 50 then and enjoyed every moment of your show and all your music. Sadly she died in 1998 but she would have been at your Newcastle concert had she still been here!
My friend and I were locked in the hard rock cafe in london in 1990 with Joe, Jordan and Jon and were so shy we didn’t go and speak to them and have regretted it for 18 YEARS! If I had another chance I would love to give you all - especially Donnie! - a big hug and a kiss
REMEMBER - AUSTRALIA AUSTRALIA AUSTRALIA! You still have thousands of fans here that love you!

Hola Chicas in Wisconsin,
I wanted to take this opportunity to encourage all of you to buy tickets to the Milwaukee show. I had the pleasure of seeing the boys in Chicago and I had a BLAST! It was truly a wonderful show,my sister and I had a wonderful time, so much that my husband decided to buy me tickets to the Milwaukee show. He said he hasn’t heard me that happy about anything in a long time and that I came back with a glow. I thought for sure the Milwaukee concert would have been sold out, but I was suprised to see that there is still a ton of tickets on sale. The Chicago atmosphere was jumpin’ and phenomenal and I would hate to see the fans in Chicago show up Wisconsin. So if you haven’t bought your tickets yet or are on the fence about going to the show, let me assure you it will be well worth the money and the day off. I know, I saw their show already, loved it and you will too. So let’s represent Wisconsin and sell out that show!!!!!
Later ladies, Lea

Wish I could have seen you guys when you where in Toronto. I bought THE BLOCK today and I LOVED IT!!!! My new favourite song is “Don’t Cry”, just love it! My husband has been battleing cancer for the last two years and is going to be starting more radiaiton within the week…anyway, that song just clicked with me and my situation. You just never know how long you will have your loved ones or how long you will be here…so like the song says “Kiss me like it’s the last time, Love me like its the first time” I must have listened to that song about 20 times today…Thank you so much for this song. It just spoke to my heart.
Been a fan since I was 10 years old (i am now…gulp…30 years old)!!! Always have loved your music and always will. Thanks for coming back and bringing us all these great tunes!!!
Love Always,

Ha! Awesome.
Cleveland was WONDERFUL! I have no words for how great that show was. You guys amazed all three of us (and the rest of the audience, it sounded like the Super Bowl in there!). Please come to Pittsburgh someday. We would travel anywhere for you but would love to see you where we all first did in 1990.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
I already went to one Mohegan show..Im goin to the next! Gotta soak it all in while i can right??
Donnie…you gonna be comin out in the casino??!!
I want my Face Time!!
And im comin to get it!
I have to say…You guys have brought me back to feeling like i am 10. I love you so much. Hope all is well on the road!
October 7th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
I am a huge FAN of NKOTB! and there are somethings I would like to say to them like thank you and how they have inspired me. I think that NKOTB needs a fan club address where we can either e-mail them or we as fans can write them a letter. If anyone has any information on that I would really appreciate it. Thank you

That was so sweet of you to sign your doll! If she’s smart she’d have kept it that day & sold it on e bay for good money if she really was in need . Of course many people selling at swap meets do it for a living & it doesn’t mean much to them. BUT if you signed mine, I’d have kept it forever no matter if I needed money or not!
I was at that show & you were incredible! I esp loved the accapella beginning of Stay the Same…just beautiful! & Twisted!!!!WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have 3 more shows & the one in St Louis I have VIP/M&G. I’m looking forward to meeting you again…last time was in ‘99. I’m bringing you a gift of one of my drawings & have long black hair & have a wheelchair, not that I expect you’ll remember this, LOL. I DO hope you remember my heart felt compliments about the show. You grew up nice Joe, Gail

I was at the show in chicago and you guys rocked the house!!!! The best concert I have been to! I can’t wait to see you guys again on the 24th!

That is such a cute story!!!! It was sweet of you to sign yourself for her.
My friends and I were at your DC concert and it was SO AWESOME! We just loved every minute of it and I hoped it would never end! By the way, are there any plans to record and release a “live” album? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE say yes!
I love you, Donnie!!!

Thanks for the entertaining story. I was going to leave my Joey doll packed away (I’m trying to be a little less obsessed this time around!), however I just might have to retrieve it from its storage box.
Just another wonderful memory…thanks again for giving us all the opportunity to make new memories.

I want to go to the Milwaukee concert so bad you have no idea.It is killing me that they are so close and yet so far away.I am laid off work and money is tight.And hubby don’t want me to go.I have been begging him for a ticket for my birthday and christmas present since my birthday is around the time they come.
But he is being a butt about it.I love him but he can be a butt lol.
even if I could buy a ticket I don’t have a license to get to Milwaukee and I need a babysitter for the kids.Hubby works 2nd shift.Anyways you have no idea how much this is killing me not to be able to go.I have been a fan since 1987/88 I was 17/18 years old(ugh and now almost 38) I saw them in England when I lived there but never got a chance to meet them.This has been a dream since then to one day finally get a chance to meet them.I am so excited that they reunited.Ty guys for reunite and thanks Jon for putting yourself out there,I know it cant be easy.It is greatly appreciated by your fans,thank you.blockhead forever
I would love to be able to sell out the concert in Milwaukee,that would be awesome.I wish there was a contest or something where we can win ticket.now there is an idea.then I might be able to go.hubby might let me go then.
We dont want the chi people up here,no offense to you lol.
Anyways thinking of you guys every day

My kids and hubby thinks I am crazy.Kids are telling there friends that mom is crazy about new kids on the block,but of course they dont know who you are,to young.they know now thanks to crazy old lady me lol.
My poor hubby wakes up to click click click every monrning,since the cd is in my alarm clock.he is getting used to it thou lol.and in the boom box in the bathroom I have their greatest hits cd so I listen to that when I am in there.so you see there is no escaping new kids on the block for the rest of the family lol.Hubby knows I love him but he comes after you guys,its New kids on the block,Brad Pitt and then him lol.

Hi Hege,
Thank you for responding to me, that was sweet. I hope it works out for you, I mean I’m sure it will. I wish I could buy you the ticket myself. I know there still are some cheap tickets still available, perhaps you can strike up a deal with the hubby.
I will keep my ear open for you to see if there are any tickets being given away. I will try to win one and if I do I will give it to you. Like I said it will all work out. Later, Lea

Hi again joe! I always check nkotb.com to see if jordan already made a blog but i guess…I’ll just check again more often. I’m a pastry chef/psychologist and I made a new cake. It’s called “Almost Better Than Sex” cake. I got plenty of orders lately and I would love to send one for you guys…see I’m Freudian too! Hope to see you again!

Allo,
I saw the concert in T.O. on the 21st sept which was one day b4 my b-day. The show was the best birthday present ever but unfortunetly I was unable to even get an autograph which really stinks. Well I only turned 25 so hopefully I will still be able to get to see you guys around. I know I am quite young to be a fan but trust me I always dreamed about meeting all of you. Honestly loosing my voice the next day was totally worth it.

Hi Guys,
I am so happy that you are back together, I have been a fan since the begining, and i find myself reliving the memories, i feel like i’m 12 again. That brings me to my next thank you to you guys, I had a friend my very best friend theresa when I was 12, we were inseperatable, everything was NKOTB with us, then my parents told me we were moving to Virginia and that was the sadest day of my life I had to leave Theresa. In the begining we talked on the phone alot and wrote letters, then in July 1993 she came to visit me and it was great for a couple days but then we had a big fight and she went home and I did not talk to her until a few years later just once very briefly. Now it is 15 years later and I have thought about her eveyday of those 15 years, I decided to try to find her. I had a hard time because I realized I knew nothing about her as an adult. Then it was the day you guys announced the reunion on the Today Show, that was a sign to me that you guys were reuniting and we needed too also, and I started looking everywhere I could and tried to remember old phone numbers, her parents address, anything. Then one day I was on MYspace and I found her. I was so excited that I sent her a message right then I gave her clues to see if she remembered and the first clue was we shared a love for NKOTB we didnt date anyone because we said that DOnnie and Jordan were our boyfriends so we turned down all the guys who asked us out and she instantly messaged me back saying oh my god i’ve been trying to find you to over all these years. Since that day we have tried to talk to each other everyday through email, text, or phone but we have different lives and it’s hard. I feel that you guys reuniting brought us back together also and that is why I say thank you thank you thank you. We haven’t seen each other in 15 years, that’s a long time but we made a pact that when you guys came to concert in our cities, we would meet up and go together to the concerts, and you guys went to her city (she lives in new york )and you are getting ready to go back and i could not make it to NY during the first time you were there because I had an injury to my foot and now I’m getting ready to have surgery on monday 10/13/08. We both realized that the tour goes to almost every city and country but to my state of Virginia, and i see that you have added tour dates to the tour and everyday I check to see if you have added VA but so far no luck. I’m asking please try to add VA to the tour, it could be at the end of it or wherever you can fit it in,That would be the day Theresa and I would have our reunion just like you guys had yours. You guys have ALOT of fans in VA,come here and let us show you. I WANT MY FACE TIME!!! So please consider one more date and that it’s in VA.PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!Love you guys and hope to see you here in VA

hey gorgeous - didn’t know how else to get a hold of you all to ask this, so i hope you read these. back when you hit it big the first time, i was in high school taking art classes. i painted a portrait of Jordan. the portrait was all in blue and his name was in red at the bottom of the approx. 16 x 20 or bigger canvas board. I tried sending it directly to him. i never got a response. i kept a copy of it and every so often wonder if he ever saw it. I know Joe and Donnnie are the bloggers so if you could relay the message that would be lovely!
glad to hear that things are going so well and that you’re having fun. see you all this time around in san diego, hopefully sooner if i can get tickets to vegas or salt lake city.
hugs for all,
Elizabeth ^j^(sending an angel out your way)
October 9th, 2008 at 10:19 am
Hey guys, was at Staples last night and what a freakin dope show! You were on fire!!! Very impressed you were able to stick all the old school moves. That was concert number four and brought back so many great memories from my childhood. A note to Joey Mc, never threw out my Donnie doll, my loving mama sold him w/o telling me after I moved away to SDSU! I bet lots of your memorabilia is out there for that reason. I wish I could go back and see you guys in November but I have family commitments so you are just going to have to expand the tour!! Thanks so much for putting it all on the line 110%!!! There is w/o a doubt more success for all of you and I look forward to the next gig! Peace out!
October 9th, 2008 at 10:40 am
I love it, that is too funny! Well, Donnie always has been a rebel! I have got to say that this is such an amazing experience for all of your fans. Thank you so much for having the courage, creativity and gumption to do what you all do so well! I hope and pray that this is just as amazing for all of you. Can’t wait to see my Boston boys in South Florida, Nov. 1 baby!!!! Rock on, guys! It’s face time!!!!!!!!
October 9th, 2008 at 11:46 am
That is so sweet Joe….
I would have bought it for sure…..to add to the collection I already have.
October 9th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
I still have my dolls somewhere packed away. Too funny! Can’t wait to see you in concert at Madison Square Garden! This has been YEARS in the waiting!
October 9th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Hey guys! I was at your show on October 4th in Chicago and it was amazing, you blew me away. The concert was beyond my wildest expectations, you guys just looked like you were having the time of your life on that stage. My friend and I had such a great time we decided to head to Denver to see that show for my birthday! Can’t wait to see you in November! Keep up the great work!
PS…Donnie, do you have to wear a hat during the entire concert? I want to see those beautiful eyes of yours!!!
October 9th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
That was AWESOME!!!!
Now my reason for this response, if anyone would like to respond but….
NKOTB show for Albuquerque-Has been CANCELED!!!!
I know for a lot of us ladies that have been waiting for this moment for 15yrs, that didn’t have the opportunity or the $ back when we were younger to see NKOTB-are heart broken. And I know everyone who was driving, flying or just waiting for the concert “In 5 Days” would like to know “WHY”? If someone, anyone explain why we got the shaft. I think it would put all us heart broken fans as ease. Because I know for a fact that a lot of people won’t be able to see them anywhere else.
Disappointed and Saddened,
Dee =(
October 9th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
I would never sell my doll. I LOVE it!!! I took it with me to Boston in hopes of getting an autograph on it…but sadly didn’t. My cousin and I are from Texas and we flew all the way to Boston to see you guys (Sept 28)!! FANTASTIC concert by the way. Now we are going to see you AGAIN in Dallas, Texas. Maybe I’ll get my autograph then.
October 9th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Yes…NKOTB has CANCELLED the Albuquerque concert.
I’m with you..what’s the reason? We were so looking forward to this concert..I can’t even start to explain the excitement we felt has Oct 14 got closer just to find on today it’s been cancelled. It’s hard cause we got ALOT of SHIT from everyone teasing us about the concert but we always gave SHIT right back. Even if they explain why and it’s a good reason…it’s still make me wanna cry.
It’s just hard to be sooooo disappointed.
October 9th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO US????? I HAVE WAITED 15 YEARS FOR THIS AND 5 DAYS BEFORE THE CONCERT YOU GUYS CANCEL!!!! SO FLIPPEN MAD AND HURT!!!

Thank you for writing me back.
And you so sweet about buying me a ticket if you could or give me one if you could.That is the sweetest thing that Someone has said to me.You brought me to tears.No would have done that offer or say they would if they could.

Anyways I hope it works out too.
I am still trying to get him to give me a combined birthday-christmas present.
That would be a dream come true to be able to go.
Also hubby think I would look silly going.I tell him there is a lot of people around my age that would go

Hey Hey whats up everyone!! Hope everyone is doing well. I was reading some of the comments you all where posting about finding lumps and such. I say everyone is in my prayers because I truly understand. I took care of my grandmother for four years and lost her to breats cancer she was very young only in her mid 60s. Any how, God bless all you and no worries….. On a lighter note, I went to the concert last night at the Staples Center(L.A. BABY) and it was off the hook!!! Worth every penny might I add. I was truly pleased with true entertainment last night! Wish so much I could have got “meet and greet” passes.~MAN~ O well. life goes on as I say. But theres alwasy next time. God Bless All.Keep doing what you guys do and thanks for the come back….:)

October 10th, 2008 at 5:40 am
Long time NKOTB fan, first time blogger!!!
I can’t wait to get to their show in Chicago on the 24th!!!! I’m taking my daughter who is 14 and this will be her first concert! Ironic huh? And she loves their music (old and new) and says they’re pretty hot…for old guys!! LOL Whatever, right?! Anyway talk about irony…
Back in the day (as my daughter says) the first time the New Kids were on the ascent to stardom I was dealing with end stage KIDNEY FAILURE at the age of 16. I was on DIALYSIS and it made me so sick…the beeping of the machines and the smell! I would put my headphones on with New Kids in my walkman and focus on the music and Jordan’s (sigh) voice and forget my surroundings. I finally was able to get a TRANSPLANT when my mom was cleared to give me one of her kidneys.
Now, 15 years later…the New Kids on the rise again and I just had my 2nd kidney TRANSPLANT in June (my brother donated this time!). Again I was on dialysis, and again I would put my earbuds in and with New Kids on my MP3 I’d focus on the music and Jordan’s voice. It got me through again!!
I can’t thank you guys for enough for getting me through some rough times both as a teenager, and an adult. You guys have a very special place in my heart and always will…
Love ya!

JM,
Sorry I been ill with a pesky virus, a real nasty one (I felt less alone when I found out Jon had a bit of a cold but hope he made a nice speedy recovery cos mine is slow :o…) and of course Don’t Cry helped some!!!
But I wanted to thank you for this post sooner and so still doing so now some nice 312 posts down lol
As always it’s wonderful when you guys post as it just changes the way we feel connected, I am sure even moreso for fans that are in countries your not touring yet, or in countries that cannot get US exclusive shows, or that simply can’t make any tour dates for whatever reason, cos I know that one of these is true for me.
And little Griffin looks ever so chilled on your NKTV mobile show taking in all them bits and bobs that help make up the NKOTB shows lol, that’s well cute - thanx for letting us see that!
Take care TTFN,

That’s an awesome coincedence. Before we got married, my husband insisted I sell my Jordan dolls. There was no way I’d sell! Over the years, selling never occured to me, and honestly, never will! Like all of you, I’m a faithful fan and always will be!

fgkjgkfjkjgkjgfkgfkgfkgfkkfllgkk Hey,
I was there for the Chicago concert and you guys totally ROCKED it!!! You guys look like you are having the best time . From beginning to end it was a total feel good sensation. Including me, 5 girls went and 3 of them were my high school friends and still are today. They were the girls I saw 4 of your concerts with back in the good old days. I told them they had to come with me because it would of not been the same seeing you all without them. We had a blast and me and another gorl aare seeing you all in Detroit the 25th. We got way better seats the 9th row and hopefully we’ll get some FACE TIME!!! Love you guys! Keep Rockin!! Toni B. form Columbus,Ohio home the Ohio State Buckeyes GO BUCKS!!!

Hi Joey…
you came here en 1992. I was in the hotel and I give you a Frank Sinatra disco. I grew up like every body, now I have a PHD, I´ve been living in Paris, Bilbao, and now in México. I got married, I was pregnat but I lose him in september (congratulation for your son), but there´s one thing that never changes… I´m your fan, I listen your music (I have all your cd´s and the nkotb music)
I love NKOTB toys… don´t you have something more sexual? Noooo It´s a joke. I´m from Mexico, Guadalajara but I live in Mexico City and I´m so happy to see that you´re gonna be here. I´m your fan and I still remember when…
I wanna see you again in Méxici city, I´m gonna try to be near of you… and if I could, I would try to be in BackStage. Don´t you know if you can help me to be there?
Thank you to make me happy with your music, with your smile, with you name.
Giovana.
p.s. Your doll is cute but you are more.

Joey, I cannot imagine why anyone would want to get rid of their NKOTB dolls!!! I still have my Concert Joey doll! Got it for Christmas when I was…..however old I was when they came out….11 I wanna say? Someday I’ll get it signed! I was so tempted to bring it with me to the Minnesota show last week, but knew my chances were pretty low given our seats were in the balcony! So in the meantime, my Joey rests in the safest place in my house….my fireproof safe!! That doll is my beloved toy from my childhood….the only one I held onto!
Love you lots since ‘86!!
