can you see what this is? NKOTB was supposed to be here TonIghT!! I was kind of excited, with no intentions of going. However, they dropped Abq off their travel plans, apparently for this reason: "It was ticket sales. As of yesterday the show had only sold 2,100 tickets. Since Tingley was one of the smaller venues on the tour, they were having to charge $80 a ticket..."My heart sank just like two other times back when I was about 10. and now that I think of it, they both have to do with good ol' lifelong family friend brian sweeney! (this one's for you!)
Once upon a time, Brian invited Lisa, Carrie, Nicole and I to a New Kids' concert, along with his niece. What a guy! Going out of his way to give us one of the most memorable experiences of one's life (ok, we were way into them. i have never really cared about any band since then, but for some reason, we got into this trendy one). Mom and Dad said nik and i were too young. heart sink over nkotb #1
Once upon another time not too far from the first time, Brian was a limo driver. He promised us that if he ever picked up nkotb, he would stop by our house so we could meet them. (for some reason, at that age, I thought that was totally doable). So, you can imagine my excitement when one saturday morning, I wake up and see a limo in our driveway. there was only one thought in my head!!!! Oh, how I hurried down those stairs! only to see it pulling away as I got to the front door. No one else was there (or they were in bed still if they were). I had missed them! and now my family was riding around in the limo with nkotB and NO ONE woke me up!!! (they'd wake me up for saturday morning chores, but not for this?!?!? hello!!) heart sink #2... (turns out brian was just in the area and had some time on his hands with the limo, so he took the fam-that was awake-for a spin. no nkotb)
And now heart sink #3. but this time's ok. I'm composed. I have long forgotten about them and now that Micah's in my life, I don't see them ever making a come back for me...but for those of you who were looking forward to the concert tonight, I thought I'd just empathize!
ps. lis and car-I was thinking about you guys a lot with all this!

just another example of poor mothering. Sorry KT
oh shucks
i call those fun memories, not bad parenting, mom!
Hillarious! I laughed through you whole email.
Never knew you liked NKOTB that much!!
What a coincidence! Jordan Knight
was here for dinner last week... and Joey McIntyre played basketball with us at the chapel Wednesday night. Did I mention the Arlington Ward later this year will host meet & greet linger longer with NKOTB... I think your family will be in Lynnfield.
(You are loved Katy Ruth!!)
