Confirmed, in the parking garage of the clear channel building, in Burbank, CA, a group of 6 very tired, yet very obsessed fans, " You are not crazy"
Here is where this story begins...
After many years of being in the closet with a secret obsession, fate brought me out, when i discovered some new found friends in grief, were also obsessed with the same thing I am... New Kids on the Block... Finally, after all these years of you tubing my favorite songs, I am able to talk New Kids. And we are all Donnie girls!!

In the fall of 2010, we find out our boys will be coming on tour, and we knew we HAD TO GO!!! plans were made and hubbies agreed, and tickets were bought, for a summer concert in July, in Los Angeles. The date would not get here fast enough....
I was really hoping to go to the show in Phx on June 30, but I had a ticket to the LA show, and there was no way I could sway my hubby. Luckily, i am spoiled, and my sweet hubby got me a ticket for mothers day. I was a bit nervous to be by myself, but the excitement over ruled that.

Fast forward to now. The big day arrives.

My super not crazy stalker friends, find out when the boys might be arriving into town. They decide to go outside of town to follow them in. the buses start coming. They follow. The boys wind up at at he Ritz in phx, and then the aggressive socialization begins. I was unable to join them that night, because of family plans but was excited to get the scoop. I spent my night packing for my trip, and taking my injured 2 year old to Urgent care. I knew I would have a lot to do in the morning, so i went to bed so i could get up early.

So excited. I cannot believe the day is here. I get up and go grocery shopping, and finish packing. I eat lunch with my family, then my hubby drops me off at my friends house, and bravely goes home to care for 4 children without me for 3 days. Christine and I start heading for the Ritz. Our friend Julie, and her daughter and her niece stayed the nigh tat the Ritz, among a few other New Kids fans. They were eating lunch when we arrived, so we stopped at the Starbucks across the way from the hotel, and had a drink. When our friends arrived, we went outside and started looking at the one bus, and discussing whose bus it was. Then Jon Knight comes walking across, so close to us, and walks into the Starbucks that we just left. In my mind I was exploding. I couldn't believe this! This was REAL and not a dream. We waited for a bit and he didn't walk out, so we went into the hotel, where they told us all kinds of awesomeness we missed the night before. I sat on a couch in the spot where Donnie sat. I was feeling so happy.
We decided to check out and head to the US Airways arena and see what we could see. We went to where the buses were parked, and stood there for a while. The Security guard was not nice, so we walked away, and scoped a little more. TO our surprise, when we came back, There was a new guy. Luis. So nice. He let us hang there and he talked to us and laughed at us. He even tried tried to help us find out who was below because we couldn't see Donnie's bus. Nice guy! While we were there we saw this white van go thru. then it stopped! and our came JOE MAC!!! He walked right over to us and talked for a minute and took some time to take pics. He was so sweet. I never was a Joey girl, but he earned a piece of my heart! After that we went to get ready for the show at a nearby hotel.

Joe looking for the sun! so cute!

The show was AMAZING! I was so excited. I had a great seat, even though it was Nose bleed section. I don't think there was a bad seat in the place at all. The show was done so well. it flowed well, and was very exciting. I danced the whole night. The stage was great. I think whoever put the show all together did a fantastic job.
So glad you both had such a good time
