The Right Stuff

If it weren't for my girlfriend, Liza, I don't think I would have even thought to do it. If the Jabbawockeez were not opening for them, Liza may not have thought to go up to see them either. Thanks to the Jabbawockeez and to Liza - and most especially to her sister, Belle, for hooking us up with tickets and using her VIP status to get us on the floor - we did it... we went up to Los Angeles to see the New Kids on the Block. Alfred was supposed to go with me to the concert but since Liza's man decided to skip the concert, citing that he'd rather stay home and work on the yard or fix some stuff around the house or cut off his arm... something to that affect... Alfred "volunteered" to stay home and watch the kids. I can't believe these guys! They didn't WANT to go see Jabbawockeez and NKOTB with us?? Whah?? Huh?? Luckily for Desiree, her dad gave up his ticket to her. Luckily for my sister, Twinkle, Liza had an extra ticket. So off we go with Liza and her whole family to Los Angeles - to show our support for the Jabbawockeez and to fall in love all over again with Joey, Donnie, Jordan, Jon and Danny. Le sigh...

How disappointed was I to discover that Desiree's camera was broken - it was stuck on video and the battery kept dying so we could only capture 10-20 second increments. Anything is better than nothing, I guess.

The next day, we picked up some TODAY SHOW hot dogs from PINK'S Hot Dogs for lunch and then stopped by Sprinkles for some delicious cupcakes to bring home to Alfred and the little ones. What a fabulous weekend we had!
