I posted this in a note on Facebook awhile back...but...HOLY SHIT!!
quote:
After months of speculation and rumor, the Kids are coming back. A well-placed source tells PEOPLE exclusively that New Kids On The Block are indeed getting back together.
The band's Web site, www.nkotb.com, which had been dormant, is now back up and running in anticipation of the official announcement, which the source says will be made in the next few weeks.
The site currently features a television graphic with a fuzzy, flickering photos of NKOTB in their heyday, and a link inviting fans to sign up for info.
The boy band, which made legions of tweens swoon in the early '90s, selling more than 50 million albums, became a worldwide phenomenon before calling it quits in 1994.
Eighteen years later, they're still "Hangin' Tough." The oldest "Kid," Jonathan Knight, now a real estate developer, will turn 40 later this year. Since the band's demise, former members Donnie Wahlberg, 38, and Joey McIntyre, 35, have seen acting success, while Danny Wood, 38, has worked as a music producer and Knight's brother, Jordan, 37, has continued to record.
They used to be my favorite in this order:
But now they're my favorite in this order:
They made their first appearance together in about 19 years on the TODAY show:
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE OMG I AM SO GOING TO THEIR CONCERT!!!!

You have no idea how excited I am for this.. lol
I was up at freakin 730am this morning to see them on the Today Show.
I am thinking about flying to NYC for their first performance on May 16th (I have enough airmiles.. lol)
Lisa and I have already said we are camping out for tix if we have to. I don't care what it takes.. I WILL BE THERE!
I feel like I am 11yo all over again
They have all grown up and are still some good looking fellas!
edit: my mom found all my NKOTB t-shirts the other weekend when packing, so I have all of those back, plus all their tapes and cds are still kicking around.

I will admit I got a little teary-eyed even this morning watching. I am sure the screams and tears will come at the concert too..
