BEST NKOTB STORY:
My *only* NKOTB story, as I grew up in Alaska-where they didn't tour-was at the 7/07 Auburn concert. I was set with my 5 star group so as I was going to be with Joey for the picture. I was dying to hug them all but would take whatever I could get. I walked around the corner and Danny was first. As I knew we didn't have much time, and out of all five-I wanted to hug the
other 4 first-I walked past him. Donnie was next. He was messing with his phone but I quickly ran up to him and stood there like a fool. He looked up at me with that gorgeous smile and hugged me tight. It seemed to be an awkwardly long time by the time I started to pull away, to which he responded: "Where do you think you're going?". I couldn't speak, so I just stood there like a goon, hugging him still, as he wasn't letting go. They called "Picture time!" and I again tried to scramble away to find Joey. He told me I wasn't going anywhere and turned me around into a choke hold that I was *not* getting out of. I didn't mind, he's freaking Donnie Wahlberg, but I felt really bad for the girl who was *supposed* to be by Donnie in the picture. I eventually realized I couldn't get away and smiled hugely for the picture. After the picture he told me he was going to Denny's after the concert and gave me the address, telling me to meet him there. I'm sure he told everyone that but he told ME too! My head was in the sky for the rest of the night... errr month. I didn't see or hug any of the other guys, maybe on the cruise, but it was worth it.
I love me some Donnie Wahlberg!
