NKOTB Stalking OR taking advantage of living close to LA






Last week NKOTB let us all know they were rehearsing! YIPPEE It is super exciting knowing they are rehearsing for the upcoming "Non Tour" Or "CasiNO tour" Well I live about an hour and a half from where they rehearse and all week knowing they were so close yet so far away was killing me! Last week I had a bunch of meetings and interviews planned but the more I thought about it the more I knew I needed to go! So I had my assistant reschedule all my stuff and clear my schedule Friday afternoon. After all that was done I talked with Malina and Jaime and it looked like it was all working out to head down to LA. So we did!

I didn't sleep at all Thursday night and was silly giddy on Friday! I drove down with Malina, Hailey, Jaime and Melissa and we had a great time driving down being silly together! We purchased cupcakes for the guys and our next stop was rehearsal spot.

We got there around 2:45ish - 3:00 there were less than 20 people there. Hung out and just waited. After about an hour of being there 5 chairs left the studio. I have never been so excited to see chairs before!

Who knows the timeline at this point.. but we saw Joe, Jon and Sunny walk out and stand by a car. We just watched. Hailey yelled "Joe" and he yelled back "Yo!" it was super cute! Then we see Danny drive out. He stopped and chatted with us for a while. He didn't get out of the car but stopped and chatted. He signed a picture I gave him, I asked him if he ate a cupcake he said "Do you think I ate a cupcake?" then I said "Cruise Control" he said "I'm always on cruise control" Another not so positive interaction with Danny, but I am hopeful one day I will. I am not so sure what happened to me but sitting there chatting with Danny made me SO nervous. I tried to take a picture of him and all I got was the leather seat. Seriously I was shaking. I can get up in front of a crowd of 500 and be perfectly fine but when I am in front the the New Kids I get really nervous. Joe drove up, and Danny looked in his rear view mirror and said "Oh look its Joe's turn" said good bye and drove away.

Joe drove up and I just melted. He is such a cute man to look at. He had his top down, stopped and chatted. I seriously felt like it was just Joe and I again. (refer to Seattle Screening for the last time I felt like it was just Joe and I in the room) I had lost all sense of anyone around us. I had asked him to sign my Mac Pac and he said sure, so I walked up closer to his car and all my nerves went away! I said can you sign it with my name, he asked my name, I said Angela and he wrote "To Angela, Love Joe McIntyre" I just about died! I said thank you, he said no problem and then I kinda stepped away from his car watched as others got autographs and pictures and realized i didn't want to be a Joe hog but I wanted a pic with him, so I asked for one he said sure.. got a great pic with him. Things I remember, Asking if he had a cupcake, he said yes a mocha. Asked if he was ready for the cruise, there was no answer as he was taking a pic with someone. And really the rest of it I don't remember at all. (Later thinking about it though, there was no mocha cupcakes in the box, but he was nice to humor me thinking he ate one)

Then Jon drove by and did a quick wave and turned, then Donnie came. He stopped for a bit and chatted. He had said if he knew we were all out there he would have come out sooner. He took some pics, signed some things. Said he needed to get home and if we came back tomorrow he would take more pictures with us. He was very friendly as always! View the video for everything.

Behind Donnie was Jordan, and he just did a quick drive by and wave!

Ekkk it really was a perfect day! Great friends and amazing New Kids! Thanks Malina, Hailey, Jaime and Melissa for wanting to share this adventure with me! ;-) XOXOX

Some say its stalking.. but really I feel that most New Kids fans would do it as well if they were in the area!
