Tomorrow is 8/8/09.And that means that it's almost time for our big awesome Mall of America reunion / Let's Get This book drive party!Please, if you are anywhere in the vicinity of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, you should really consider joining us for an afternoon of fun.We have a few activities planned, including a trivia contest, a Summertime

The internet is really amazing.Sometimes, just for fun, we Google ourselves (don't judge - you know you do it too).Last fall Alexis and I were interviewed by the Strib about NKOTB.This morning, Alexis was engaging in a little self-Googling, and found this article, which appears to be the article from the Star Tribune, syndicated, and then translated into English from some language other than

Yesterday Kim and I celebrated our "Blogiversary" together. One year ago we had been sitting by my pool plotting our plan of attack for the Mall of America appearance and decided to start a blog. There may have been some vodka involved. Yesterday we celebrated with Kim from ReturnofNKOTB.com and Melissa from NKOTBNEWS.com planning a party. There might have been some vodka involved.To celebrate

This comes to us from Lisa R. Lisa, did you transcribe this?? Anyway, it's another shot of the awesome moments after IBLYF, this time with the full speech intact. You can see the signage that people had brought as well. “Houston!

I just felt the need to share this with you. Our friend Tiff, with whom we traveled to Omaha, Champaign, and  Des Moines - and who wrote the awesome cruise recap for us, was at the Dallas and Houston shows (with Lisa and Peggy, two more of our "sisters"). She had this to say about the clip that we posted yesterday of the guys after I'll Be Loving You Forever. Big thanks to the person who caught

For many of us, 8/8/08 was a magical day in the Twin Cities.It was the day that NKOTB came to the Mall of America to celebrate the grand opening of Best Buy.So many of us waited for hours upon hours, sitting on the floor, standing in lines, scoping each other out, waiting to see our boys for the first time in years! The last time either of us had seen them, it was 1990.It was the day of 1000

Can you blame me?In case you haven't already seen it elsewhere on the internet, here's the boys doing a fantastic Michael Jackson tribute. Our clip is from the Friday night show in Chicago. We somehow managed to capture the entire thing, from start to finish, without being told to knock it off. We were really close too :)Enjoy!(recap to follow... soon... one of these days)

What a busy past couple of weeks. We are sorry that we have been bad bloggers but a) we just haven't had much to say and b) we have been super busy with work stuff. Ok, you caught me! I"ve been at our lake house in Northern Minnesota most of the time and Kim has been busy with work stuff. She flew in from a conference in Hotlanta last night and was at my house to pick us up at 7:30am. And now we

Hey homies.We've been bad bloggers lately. Huge apologies for that, but there have been a million things going on in non-NK land lately. We haven't gone to any shows yet this tour (YET), and we've been occupied with things like the sun, some dirt, the sun, work, the sun, some more dirt... Did we mention that it's FINALLY summer in Minnesota? Actually technically it doesn't happen until this

If you are from one of the northern states you'll understand how precious spring and summer are to us.Anyway, please be sure to check out the Let's Get This Foundation.In Joe's words:We're on a Mission For me,

As we've written about before, we use a program that lets us know who has seen our blog, how many hits we've had, where the people are located, etc. One of the most interesting things about this program is that we are able to filter out search terms that people have used to find their way to our blog. Most are obvious. "NKOTB" and "Five Brothers and a Million Sisters" and "NKOTB Tour" and "Space

Hi Everyone, and Christina :)The long-awaited guest blog from Christina M, recounting her tale of the Grand Rapids show last month. Enjoy!So I've finally recovered a little mentally and physically to try and write a blog about the last 3 NKOTB shows that I attended. Sorry if this is a bit long. [No worries! -k&a] Let's start with Grand Rizzle as the Blockheads were calling it. The day started

Hi folks.As we sit here, staring at each other like we so often do, we are faced with the question:Are we really going to do this?The answer, after a lot of deliberation, is yes.Here's the deal. Remember back in January when we said that we were under no circumstances going on the NKOTB Cruise?As of about 11:00 this morning that was still the case. Actually it's still the case, but a very

Or: Des Moines to Green Bay via St Paul...We woke up quite early in Des Moines to prepare for all of the driving we had ahead of us. We had been up quite late at the bar the night before so it was quite a struggle. Thank DW for track suits! No one talked much on the way back to St Paul. It had been a long couple of days. And I was afraid that if I spoke it would be trying to convince Kim that we
