I'm sure some of you have seen one of these by now but in a lot of malls, they now have these choo-choo trains that drive around the mall. The mall where we have our book store has one. There are no tracks, it's a like a big toy car. Kids & adults can ride it with a price of coarse. Here I think it's $3. It is one of the coolest things eva'. The train makes little chug chug noises and has a train horn. I not only want to ride it & drive it but I want to have my personal choo choo! How fucking cool will that be! I found a couple of videos on youtube. They are not from the mall I am at & they are not my videos but I want to show what I am talking about. Chuga chuga chuga chuga choo choo!

NKOTB concert 1990
I have a lot of things on my mind that want to come out but for now I will write about my second New Kids On The Block concert that I ever went to. First off, what got me to write this was going through my scrapbooks. I cam across the ticket stub for the second one I ever went to which was called 'Magic summer tour'. I wish I had the stub for my very first New Kids Concert but I didn't see it. At some point I will have to write about that one (I know a little backwards but what the hell).
My friend and I heard that the New Kids were coming to town and we just HAD to get those tickets. Her mom took us to a near by record store that were selling the tickets. We weren't to far back in line so we thought we had a chance to get floor seating. When she came back to where we were waiting with the tickets, we had the nose bleed seats. First of all, this concert was going to be held at the Oakland stadium so that made our seats waaaaay back across the field and up a ways. She said that the seats that were on the ground were all taken already. They went to radio stations, family etc. Even then the ticket people were screwing the customers. There is a part of me though that there were other seats available but maybe she didn't want to pay the money for them or she thought the seats we got would have been better. Don't really know since she went up alone (she had my money for my ticket)
The day comes and I was so excited. We get there and realized just how bad our seats were but meh what the hell. They did have big screens so everyone could see what was going on but it was like watching tv. It was pretty hard to see or understand what was going on but that fact that I was there was still cool. The only thing I really remember was Joe holding onto the microphone stand and his feet lifted up so it was like he was laying on his side singing while holding onto the stand. That's all that I really remember.
Not much of a story but it is a memory that I thought I would blog for the hell of it. I love looking back at things and periods of not only my life but how things were when I was growing up & how much things have changed or not changed. Sorry this blog is just kinda there. I do have other things in mind that I want to blog about but it is just hard to find the time to sit down and right them. Take care. :-)
