New Kids on the Block

As most of you know, a few weeks ago (ok, so maybe it was last month!) Erica and I took my winning tickets to see the New Kids on the Block at the Verizon Center. What a night! We both donned our converse sneakers (Erica's red with white stars, mine, pink) and Erica even had an old school t-shirt of Greg's to wear (did you know they had little league for bowling, and Greg was awarded a badge for perfect attendance!?)

With our stellar outfits all set, we headed to the metro for what would be a night to remember. We started the evening at Cafe Atlantico where we enjoyed their amazing guacamole, some cocktails and a light supper. Our bar tender even made us a complimentary "Cotton Candy Mojito," which was interesting, but perhaps a bit too sweet for my taste buds!

Upon arriving at the Verizon Center we realized that our expectations of what the crowd would be were correct. The place was packed with 25-35 year old females...still young at heart and most of them rocking their old school NKOTB attire! It was quite the scene. We couldn't help but wonder where all the single guys were as they probably would not be single once leaving.

The concert itself was insane. I don't think Erica and I stopped laughing from the minute it started. These 25-35 year old women quickly turned into 12-16 year old screaming girls! It was like we had jumped in a time machine and found ourselves at the Capitol Center in 1987! The songs, the dance moves, even the attire, were straight out of one of their MTV videos. Hilarious!

Now if only Debbie Gibson would make a comeback!
