So the NKOTB concert finally arrived. I went with my friend SK and some of her friends. We also met up with a girl called Leona, who is a friend of a friend and loves New Kids. She bought a ticket but had no one to go with!! (What is WRONG with people?!?!) She was awesome!! Anyway, we got there and we all had the same MO-- GET AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE!!!!!
And we did, after some swift manoeuvring we managed to get right up to the front. As we stood and watched local artist Jaicko perform, the guy beside me grabbed my arm to get my attention, I totally brushed him off with a dirty look, only to realize later that he had a press pass and was allowed backstage!!!! UUUGGGHHHH!!! *Mental note: be nicer next time!!* screw up #1
Anyway, we watched The Barenaked Ladies (very good!) and then they arrived!! I was SOOO excited, we were ALL SOO excited!! We all had our fave guys and none of us were in competition since we all liked different ones. :) Throughout the concert I kept thinking that Jordan was making eye-contact with me, but dismissed it, and continued enjoying the show. Then SK said, "Jordan keeps making eye-contact with you and I am SOOO jealous!!"
Part way into the show, I put my camera away because we were so close and I felt bad that everyone was shoving cameras in their faces.
At one point, Donnie (MY FAVOURITE!!) made eye-contact with me and me made a 'me and you' motion and smiled at me.... Not sure if anyone else saw it, but I am sure it happened. That was the first time I died....
At the end of the show, they all came up to the front and were shaking hands with the crowd etc. Jordan came over and I didn't put my hand out since everyone around me was freaking, and he motioned for my hand and I gave it to him and he gave me a quick handshake and smile. That was the second time I died...
Donnie was the last one to come over, and the same thing happened; everyone was shoving their hands/cameras in their faces or trying to grab him, I stayed put.
THEN, Donnie pointed at me, I wasn't sure who he was pointing at, so I gave a confused "me?!" look, and he said "yes you!"
That would be when
HE REACHED OVER LIKE 4 GIRLS GRABBED MY HAND AND HELD IT FOR AGES AND THEN SMILED AND WINKED AT ME!!!!!!!
I thought for sure I imagined it all, but then SK and Leona looked at me and said "OH MY GOD can you BELIEVE that just happened?!?!?!?"
I really couldn't!! I died for the third time.
We stayed at the concert for a bit longer and then left, we had some people to drive home, so by the time SK dropped me off at my house it was 1:15am. We sat in the car in front of my flat debating whether or not to go to the after-party one of the crew told us about. We decided against it (crazy I know!!) Screw up #2. because we thought it would already be too late. Today, SK emailed me to let me know that someone she knows went to the party and it was mostly crew and band, but that around 2am two of the New Kids showed up!! If we had left my house at 1:15 we would have arrived at the party around the same time!!
I could have made out with Donnie, I totally think he wanted to make out with me!! :(
To make the night even better, one of SK's friends asked me how old I was, he guessed 19, he almost died when I told him I was 27 (well 4 months away from 27...) he even had the others guess, they all guessed 21 tops! COULD THIS NIGHT GET BETTER?!?!?!
I woke up this morning on a high, then I saw 'him' and his dad. 'He' didn't talk to me. My memories of Donnie were long lost and into misery I fell :( I called my BFF MN and told her about the events of the past 24 hours and why I was feeling so crappy. Her response was "You wipe those tears and I don't want to hear it ever again! DONNIE picked YOU out of a crowd and smiled and winked at you!! Tell 'him' to go shove it, clearly you are something special and he doesn't see it!!"
I think she is right, now if only I could believe it.
