JOE KISSES

I met you on November 18/08 in Edmonton, AB CANADA at Rexall Place!! I ran out of time in the meet & greet & only had time to shake your hand & introduce myself. I also showed you my newspaper clipping from when you guys played here in Edmonton the first time on November 1/1990 and you said that it was in “pristine” condition :). I am SO grateful to have met you and wished that I had more time to chat with you!! I regret not following you guys to Calgary, AB the following night!! I am currently looking for a way to meet you guys again as my first time was TOO SHORT and my nerves were getting the best of me!! I’m highly anticipating you all coming back, not only that, I am prepared to attend any & all solo concerts if any of you continue on that path as well!! I’m still in a “high” after Tuesday’s concert & now I can’t imagine you guys not being around again, I think it would hit all your fans harder this time since the 15 year absense made our hearts grow even fonder for you all. I think I speak for all of us when I say: WE CAN’T BE WITHOUT NKOTB AGAIN!!! PLEASE DON’T GO AWAY EVER AGAIN!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Now here’s what I really wanted to say but was so star struck that my nerves decided otherwise how things were going to go… LOL:

THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK, IT IS AN HONOR & TRUE PLEASURE TO HAVE MET YOU ALL. (well most of you, I missed Danny *sniff sniff*).

So I say it now with the greatest of gratitude and utmost joy in my heart. I truly am blessed to be a fan that has come in full circle with you all.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU & HUGS FOR ALL!!

I’ll be loving you NKOTB FOREVER!!

P.S. I was the oriental girl with the glasses that was wearing the white ringer t-shirt that said in black letters: “B is for BLOCKHEAD”

LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mullets rule!!

p.s can we have our own facetime plzzzzzzzzzzz.xx

My friend and i were at the Broomfield, CO concert and were part of the Soundcheck party. Anyhow your people wouldn’t let us take pictures to they took pictures for us in groups of 6. They didn’t take our e-mail address or even ask us our names so I’m not sure how they are planning on sending us the pics…can you please check on this for me!!!

P.s. the show was awesome! I just love you guys and wish you the best of luck moving foward!! When is your next video coming out?

Luv Tara xo

I just saw the ‘after show get down’ video & all I could think was ‘OMG…’. hahaha. Screaming like that is fine DURING the concert…after the concert right in your face, not that cool (but that’s my opinion).
Anyway…what I really wanted to say: i’ve been having this feeling (call it my sixth sense) about something. If I’m right can I just say: Yay! I’m so happy for you. And you’ll probably know what I’m talking about if my gut feeling is on the right track. If you have no clue … well, then I clearly shouldn’t quit my dayjob, hahaha. Something said on the video makes me think I might be right though … ;-).
Take good care,

Big Hug,

My friend and I saw you in Cleveland, OH in October and could not wait to see you again after 15 years, so we bought tickets and planned a road trip from Columbus, Ohio to Uncasville, Connecticut; a 24 hr roundtrip. You sexy hotties posted a video blog before the tour began. My sweet dream, Donnie, said in the video, “This is how you get “FACE TIME!” And then introduced, Zak, whose face I embedded in my brain for the following months. Donnie said to find Zak, because he would get us backstage. I called my friend up and told her to remember this guy, no matter what we do and I reminded her whenever we spoke about the NKOTB. After we arrived at Mohegan Sun Arena, we decided to be bold. Anyone who looked like someone important, we spoke to, and kept our eyes out for Zak as Donnie had instructed. We sat a level above the floor and finally saw Zak during the middle of the show. I could not believe my eyes! He was clearly busy at that point, so we did not bug him. After the show, we waited around a bit and were feeling down about not seeing Donnie’s dude again and then, Wham! There was Zak, heading directly towards us, so I went up to him and said, Hi, Zak! Donnie specifically said to talk to you, while grinning from ear to ear and my heart pounding out of my chest. Zak’s reply was roughly, “Not now, I am working” and pushed past us abruptly, nearly spinning me around. I want to state that I completely understand what it is like to be diligently working and then be interrupted. I am sure Zak has tons and tons of hyped up 31 year old women bothering him to get at the New Kids, but I was truly crushed. I had scorched Zak’s face in my brain for months before this concert. I did my part of the deal like Donnie said. Regardless, we drove home while singing, smiling and crying (happy crying) to the New Kids CDs. DONNIE, I might be 60 by the time I finally get to meet you, but I am still getting my KISS! (Damn, I hope so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I just needed to get my story out to someone, even if no one ever lays an eye on this comment.

You are so right. Life is all about the ups and downs.

You truly have A LOT to be thankful for this year. The new baby boy (CONGRATULATIONS BTW, he is adorable!) and now being able to do a tour with your “4 brothers”. You can tell how much you all enjoy being back together and being on the stage again. I am soooooooooooo happy for all of you!

You all deserve all the success you are having this year. I’ve been a fan for 20 years. We’ve had our ups and downs too throughout those twenty years. Throughout, those 20 years you all have had a special place in my heart. I can’t thank you enough for coming back together. I think we both needed it.

It really is important to enjoy every moment and soak it all in. Keep soaking it all in!

Love, Heather Morgan (hlmorgan22@gmail.com)

We stood in the very cold rain (with open-toed shoes…YIKES)all night waiting for you all to leave…just hoping that you would all come out and greet the fans. All we hoped for was a picture. Sadly, after the last bus left they told us you guys were all gone, so my friend and I waddled (our feet were so freakin numb!) to the car. We sat there by the garage bus exit for a while so that we could warm up and get feeling back into our toes and fingers. We decided to do one last loop and take in the memory and we got stopped by one of your crew guys (who REALLY liked to talk…zzzzzzzzz). ANyways, we were finally able to get away from that guy so we were headed back home. After all, it was 2am and we had husbands and babies at home….back to reality. When were went to get on the highway we were stuck behind a VERY slow bus. We at first figure it was a crew bus that couldn’t find his way to the highway. We kind of joked to each other that it was you guys because we knew you had a baby on your bus. We had figure you were gone by then though. So, with it raining so badly I decided to stay behind the bus on the hwy so I could see the lines on the road. It wasn’t until later that we finally decided we could pass the bus safely. As we started to my friend noticed a sign on the door of the bus…and it was signed “The Macs”. We were so excited! We couldn’t believe that we had actually been following you down the highway. We did take a pic of the sign to prove to people that we didn’t make this story up. I was driving but made Christine hold the wheel so I could get a good pic. I did it from farther behind so that the flash wouldn’t effect the driver. We knew you had to get going, but we gave it our best effort and waved at the driver to pull over because we were going to Waffle House and wanted ya’ll to join. He smilled and waved. He said sorry and pointed on down the hwy…telling us he had to get you guys to your destination. We understood…we just couldn’t go home that night without giving it a good try. We contemplated driving along behind you to KC. It was a fun thought, but after we realized we are not crazy people and that we have out babies at home that it would not be the best idea. So, sadly we got off at our exit and waved and honked goodbye to you as you went to your next stop. Your driver was so gracious..he turned on the cabin lights to give us a sweet wave and smile. Thank him for us, because that made the whole experience more enjoyable. He could have been irritated and dismissed us, but he was very sweet.
Christine and I talked about it after we saw your blog and Jon’s blog the next day. We were really concerned that you thought we were following you on purpose and trying to be a pain in the a$$ like some of the CRAZY fans that follow you from city to city. We didn’t want to be the reason that you didn’t have an enjoyable experience in our city. We just felt like we were somehow “rewarded” for being the last 2 people to leave the show that night to “escort” you our of our city. It was the highlight of our night.

By the way. I did speak to your wife. She was walking your dog and on her way back in I peered over the top of the tunnel to ask her if she was your wife. She smiled very sweetly and said “yes”. Even though I am happily married I told her that she was a very lucky girl and she graciously said “thank you”. If I was a crazy fan I would have asked her if we could come down to meet you (because I have ALWAYS been a Joey girl), but I let her go on back to you guys. I know how valuable family time is because my husband works a lot as well and I get very jealous when people take his time from us…so I get it.

Anyways, long story…so sorry. We had a blast at the show and wish we could do it again because it went by so fast. You guys really rocked that place hard! I haven’t danced that much since my wedding day 6 years ago! Best of luck to you in your new journey and I hope that the CRAZY fans don’t ruin this for you. Hopefully they will chill out because we don’t want you guys to dissappear anytime soon! We LOVE the new music!!! Even my 3 year old constantly asked me to turn on “the Turn it up now song” and “Full Service”. He sings it too…adorable!

Much love and respect. Kristy from St. Louis

But back onto the subject of Drinking It UP! Both shows were absolutely incredible and love that you guys are keeping it real… having fun… makes you want to be up on stage with you guys goofing it up at times… (forgetting words, messing up dancesteps) Its all great… that shows you are only human… and we love you for it all! Keeps the memories even better. I know the highs and lows when you want more… believe me if I could follow you guys on tour I would… my priorities are my family.. I have 2 sons… my oldest about to be 4 on your Birthday- New Year’s Eve… and my youngest is 15 months. I thank god that I have had the opportunity to see you guys in concert… and if by chance you do a summer tour… count on me being at one concert! Hopefully close to home for me this time….
Drink it up Joe…

I love you guys! NKOTB will always have my heart!!!!

By the way, I met you guys in KC Tuesday night. Me and my “twin” wearing the Celtics Jersey (#13), and I had what Jordan called, a hamburger on my underpants. (by the way, tell Donnie sorry about that if it offended him - it was meant to be funny.)

The show was great, Joe, you and Jordan were ON! We drove the 8hrs home and are still smiling today.

love you always;
Lisa
