Those familiar with the original JCritty.com may already know that I’m a big time New Kids on the Block fan. It kind of happened by accident when a bunch of us got tickets to the Vancouver show last year…and it turned out to be AMAZING FUN TIMES. After that I couldn’t stop checking nkotb.com, and youtube, and so much more. And yeah, that bootleg “Hangin’ Tough” dvd from Korea is on my shelf…in “dolbee ditital” magnificence.

BurritoFriday.com associates J-Spot, D-Lanks, and I  trekked out to Kelowna yesterday to catch them again, and managed to get a room in the same hotel as the New Kids. I thought there may be a chance meeting, where I end up looking really really cool, thus winning their affections for life.

Turns out nkotb fans are a determined bunch, and go to such lengths as hanging out in the lobby for 5 hours, or paying hundreds of dollars to do meet and greet, or following them around on multiple tour dates (Grateful Dead style)! I know, right? But good for them, because they probably got what they wanted after all that hard work, and I ended up hammered outside a gas station after a failed attempt at finding pizza.

Here are the tweets from the day:

SIDENOTE: I did try to direct tweet Jonathan and Donnie, but I’m not sure if I did it right, or if they get thousands of them an hour and can’t reply. It’s a safe bet that I was putting forth extreme cuteness and buttkissing techniques to entice them. Tweet FAIL. :p
