So my saturday girls day & night was a blast. First, I headed to the dreaded westbank to pick up my friend Amy. I was in culture shock. That place has changed so much since I lived there. Thank god I left. Then, we headed to check in at our hotel, which was a block off of Bourbon St. We walked a little while to check out the scenery and grabbed a bite to eat at the Checkered Parrot, a nice little sport bar and grill connected to our hotel. After that we went back to do all of our primping for the concert. Before the concert started we hung around inside the arena drinking a few beers, checking out the sites.....and boy where there some sites to see. Grown women decided to dress like they did 15-20 years ago when the NKOTB were first out. Women were walking around in tight leggings, long tshirts, tight rolled jeans, pumps, crimmped hair, pony tails pulled to the side......it was totally amazing. Why do I not remember dressing like that back then??!! Maybe I was too cool! LOL
Anyway, the concert was a freaking blast. Those songs brought back so many memories. I can remember recording their songs from the radio, and playing a few seconds of it at a time so I could write all the words down and memorize them. HAHA and I remembered each song that went with a different boy I liked. My ears rang all night long from all the screaming that was going on. (yes, I was screaming too.) They played a few new songs, which seemed pretty good and of course, they saved Hanging Tough for last. We (everyone at the concert) were waving our hands in the air. I thought I heard them say "see ya in june new orleans" so I guess I will be going to another concert next year.
Last, we went to Bourbon St. NOT AT ALL WHAT I EXPECTED!! Lets just say it was very dark that night. Amy & I tried to meet up with a few other friends but never made it. By the time we got to BBC's from our hotel, we grabbed a round and went back to our hotel. Stopping at the Daq. shop for pizza on the way. The Quarter is not at all what it use to be like. If I go back it will be during the day. I will never make a trip at night. I felt soooo unsafe.
All in all it was a great weekend with great friends and great memories.

It sounds like y'all had a blast! I hate that it was so dark that night!
I agree about the Quarter. We went to the Gold Mine on the night of NKOTB and had a great time, but a few weeks before I went to Razzoos and felt so violated. I don't want to go back at night unless Justin is there. Glad you had a good time at the concert - love the blog :)
