NKOTB

As a woman in my mid-30s, I couldn't be more excited to hear that the all-time best boy band ever is back - New Kids on the Block!!!! Yes, it's a little cheesy, but come on, we're all allowed a guilty pleasure or two - this is one of mine. I remember going to see them in Austin somewhere around my freshman or sophmore year of high school - '88 or '89 - and my friends all agreed to wear our T-shirts to school the next day. I snuck my camera in (one of the disc cameras - does anyone remember those?) and managed to get a few shots. We were on the floor, so none of the pictures turned out very well, but I can still look at them and know how it felt to be hearing the best group of the day singing "Step By Step." Now I just need to find my tapes and listen to them. Maybe I should search for the albums on CD??
