Do you remember? Should I rewind?

NKOTB_MOA! 341

For many of us, 8/8/08 was a magical day in the Twin Cities.

It was the day that NKOTB came to the Mall of America to celebrate the grand opening of Best Buy.

So many of us waited for hours upon hours, sitting on the floor, standing in lines, scoping each other out, waiting to see our boys for the first time in years! The last time either of us had seen them, it was 1990.

It was the day of 1000 Summertimes.

It was the day that so many friendships were formed. That line about Five Brothers and a Million Sisters? It couldn't be more true.

It was an amazing, amazing day.

It needs to be commemorated.

At first we contemplated camping at the Mall of America all night, followed by sitting on a concrete floor for 16 hours, then listening to Summertime on repeat for 7 hours to celebrate.

But then, along with our friends at Return of NKOTB and NKOTB News we came up with something much better.

Details are still being ironed out but if you are anywhere in the vicinity of the Twin Cities Metro Area, please save the afternoon of 8/8/09 so that we can all get together again and celebrate what an amazing year this has been!

XOXOXO,
Alexis and Kim

Awww, I remember sitting at my computer at work checking your blog like a maniac waiting with bated breath for any news that day. That seems like a million years ago. Has it really been less than a year? Ok, totally about to cry right now.
