Attention! Million Sisters! Today is 8/7/09.

You know what that means, right? Tomorrow is 8/8/09.



And that means that it's almost time for our big awesome Mall of America reunion / Let's Get This book drive party!

Please, if you are anywhere in the vicinity of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, you should really consider joining us for an afternoon of fun.

We have a few activities planned, including a trivia contest, a Summertime sit-in, (We'll only make you listen to it once, while sitting on the floor. Promise.), not to mention a drawing for some awesome prizes. Haven't you always wanted your very own pink Face Time camp chair? What about an action figure (Jenni from TX - we suck, we'll get yours to you very soon - we have the raw ingredients for it now at least)? What about some beer lube? Vintage New Kids trading cards?

$5 or one new children's book will get you one raffle ticket, and one chance to win the grand prize. Naturally you can enter more than once :)

Seriously, you don't want to miss this.

(It just occurred to me that we haven't reported on our Chicago trip yet. Whoops. Soon!)

Infinite Loop Indeed!

The internet is really amazing.

Sometimes, just for fun, we Google ourselves (don't judge - you know you do it too).

Last fall Alexis and I were interviewed by the Strib about NKOTB.

This morning, Alexis was engaging in a little self-Googling, and found this article, which appears to be the article from the Star Tribune, syndicated, and then translated into English from some language other than English.

Hilarity ensues:

The most amazing band ever!

New Kids’ return finds fans older, but still avid

what is the price of reliving your early teen years?

in requital for kim carlton and alexis lomen, it’s $375 each. that buys the 31-year-old bffs from st. paul, minn., a wager to meet their childhood idols, the new kids on the piece, and sit related the make up when they run across to town.

“i’m so excited to finally get my donnie hug,” gushed carlton, referring to new kids Mr Big donnie wahlberg.

“having an outlet for that daft spirit you procure when you’re 13 is tender-hearted of important,” said lomen, who is blogging with her consort about their trips to five original kids reunion concerts at www.projectnkotb.com. “i hypothesize you carry that with you for the rest of your life.”

thanks to devoted thirtysomething fans like kim and alexis, altered kids have become the unlikely drop in-music comeback of the year. their new album, “the sketch,” debuted at no. 2 matrix month, selling 139,000 copies, and their tour of the cooperative states, canada, mexico and europe is the hottest-selling reunion since the police in 2007.

I haven't laughed so hard... well since yesterday, when I caught my dog trying to get a lint roller sheet off of his paw.

So who will be joining us at the Let's Get This / Mall of America reunion party next weekend? There will be an awesome raffle prize... including a pink Face Time camp chair! Don't forget to RSVP at letsgetthistc@gmail.com !
