NKOTB Vegas ~ Oct. 11th, 2008

So, I haven't written about the Staples show or the Vegas show/adventure because well, as much fun as I had, I couldn't say much about the show except that it was great/awesome/etc. I CAN, however, write a few things about our Vegas trip. While hanging and chillin' out in Mandalay Bay before the show, we saw Robo (their bodyguard), who ended up being pretty rude. Alicia said "hi" to him, and he took off his tour jacket and wrapped it around his waist (thus hiding the NKOTB) and walked away. She wasn't even being obnoxious. I was in the 12th row for the show, and it was great, and would've been even better if there weren't as many tall girls around me. The afterparty at LAX was crazy! The line (or should I say crowd? herd?) to get in was out of control!!! Pushing, shoving, girls screaming that they are on the guest list...yeah, so was everyone else there! It was a good thing Brenda's husband was with us because HE got one of the bouncer's attention and got us in. Girls behind him grabbed onto his shirt in hopes of getting in behind him. No such luck. As we were headed into the club, they noticed that Alicia was still in line, so they went back for her, as Shala and I kept going and were forced in by the security guards. We went down to the dance floor, and the next song to come up was "Put It On My Tab" (a song from the new NK album)! Suddenly, we hear Donnie's voice...LIVE!!! We couldn't see him, but we danced, sang, and represented! Brenda and her cousin weren't able to get Alicia in, but found where the guys were hanging out. We joined them by the back bar and hung out by that entry way. Robo and Kevin (one of their roadies) passed by several times, and only VIP people were allowed to go in. The guys came out another time to perform/hype up the crowd ~ singing "Single" and "Dirty Dancing." This time, Shala and I could see them...through the stair railing and past a guys butt who decidely stood in our formerly perfect view.
