In my defense, I was young, everyone was doing it, he was cute, and my hormones had just begun to act up Anyhoo... the point of this post, and I do have one, is that TMZ is reporting that the boys are going to put together a reunion tour a la the Spice Girls. I'd like to say I'm not going and that ship has sailed, but I REALLY WANT TO GO. How goofy is that? And please tell me I am not alone in this twisted reality.

I'm not sure I'd go see them again unless they released some new stuff, too, and I liked it. But MAN does that bring back some old memories.

Originally Posted By SunshineOR I loved them! I had the posters, cassettes, videotapes, the works. Saw them at the state fair. I confess to a fuzzy feeling of nostalgia when I hear the name. Don't think I'd pay to see a reunion concert though...

I really do want to , but the mature practical side of me remembers that when they were THE pop group, I paid $38 to see them. As a reunion tour, I know the tickets would be well over $100 and the grown up in me says no freaking way. but the initial report had me saying I WANT TO GO!!!!

My partner in crime for my NKOTB obsession was my cousin (who is DyGDisney's and my mutual 1st cousin). She loved Danny. Together I think we must have boosted sales for "Bop" magazine as we each had about 10 Jumbo photo albums full of cut-out pictures of our "boyfriends"- and just as many video tapes full of performances and various interviews. We went to two of their concerts. We were one of those crazy girls who booked the Hyatt Regency to stay where they were staying (just to meet them) and never quite made it to their private floor(but got stuck on the janitor's floor trying, LOL! Aaaah the memories- yes, it was a sillly obsession but it provided so much fun for about 2 1/2 years of our lives. I would love to see their reunion concert. Lets see, who can I get to baby-sit my FIVE kids?(who I also refer to as "MY "fab five" Not a problem I had to worry about as a teen, LOL! Thanks for passing this on!

Yep...pretty great way to end graduation for an 18 year old girl! BUT, did any of my friends think to take a picture...NOOOOOO...(ok, in all fairness...we were ALL stunned)so if ANYONE has pictures from the first Videopolis New Kids show I'd love to see them!! Loved the 80's!....
