NKOTB concert

Yesterday was the concert and so I drove to Atlanta to meet 

up with my friend who invited me and several other mutual friends.

We decided to meet at the Hudson Grille at 5 for dinner since the show didn't start til 7:30.

There were SO many women in downtown Atlanta last night!

The wait for a table was about an hour, then the wait for our food was another hour.

We got our food (which was delicious as always) at 7:15!

Talk about eating fast.

We did get a discount but we had to scarf our food down, use the restroom, & scurry across the street to Philips Arena as fast as we could.
 

 We thought we'd be ok because concerts rarely start right on time...

but NOPE! As soon as we walked in we could hear Boyz II Men.

We made it to our seats half way through their first song!

Boyz II Men sung all their classics and everyone sung right along with them.

Up next was 98 Degrees.

Of course the crowd was going crazy

  They sung all of their classics too!


The showstopper was New Kids on the Block!
They put on a FABULOUS performance.
The dancing, the lights, confetti, streamers, the music was phenomenal!

This was my favorite band as a kid.
They were my first concert when I was 12!
It's hard to believe it's been 25 years since they first came out.

 The NKTOB fans are the best!
Lots of ladies came in their 80s wear- hair crimped & neon colors.
Some had their old school NKOTB pins and shirts on.
It was a sea of women with maybe 1% men in attendance lol!

The NKOTB, Boyz II Men, & 98 Degrees concert was the BEST concert I've ever been too!

Concerts

Hubby & I decided we were going to start taking advantage of 

all the things there is to do in Atlanta more often.

Although we live so close to Atlanta,

we don't go there as often as we should.

The city we're in is pretty boring.

In fact it was voted one of the best retirement cities in GA.

That's not so good for young people who want to

try new things and have fun.

So to start things off, I surprised him with tickets to

go see Alicia Keys next week!

Now, neither one of us are die hard Alicia Keys fans.

I love her music but it wasn't a huge deal if we did/didn't go.

The point  is to get out & enjoy life & experience

different things together!

I'm kind of excited since I'm off that day so

I plan to go get my make-up done and find a cute 'fit (outfit).

Of course yall know they say we can't take cameras in, but I'll

snap some cell phone pics for the blog.

Later on this summer I'm going to 

another concert with the girls.

This June we'll be seeing:

New Kids on the Block

Boyz II Men

98 Degrees

NKOTB was my first love!

I went to see them when I was in 6th grade.

My love for them was equivalent to the way young girls love Beiber today.

Boyz II Men was another group I loved in the 90s!

I'm almost certain several people I know had kids early because of their music, ha!

I was never a huge 98 Degrees fan.

However, hubby & I's first dance song was by Mariah Carey & 98 Degrees.

"Thank God I Found You" was our song.

Probably because I love me some Mariah Carey!

I tried to get us tickets to go see Beyonce this summer 

but her tickets were a bit overpriced and they sold outquick.

So no Bey for us!

The last concert hubby & I went to was Mariah Carey

and I think that was almost 5 years ago!

What's the last concert you've been to?

And what is the next concert you're going to?
