Throw a Blast from the Past: Planning an 80's Theme Show

[lacychef]

OH my, is it bad that I did pretty much ALL those things?
Hey, & Bon Jovi IS still hot!:love: I'm still bummed that he's going to be in concert in KC in April & I can't go:cry: (here's an embarassing fact: I did go to a NKOTB concert when I was middle school-ish age--what a good mom I have to take me!)

 

[c00p]

I live here in KC and I didn't even get tickets!! BUT, 2 of the gals in my cluster did...I thought about stalking them.....

I went to a NKOTB concert too. It was at the state fair and we waited all day in line to get seats (didn't see anything else at the fair). I have their CD on my Ipod along with lots of songs from the 80's. Love the music.

I would totally be stalking them, LOL! That is one concert I'm determined to see before I die.....I'm hoping he'll tour again next year & come to KC again!

Check e-bay for tickets. I wish I could go, but I will be in FL for vacation. I've seen them 11 times. It's always a good time.

Wow, 11 times?! I couldn't go even if I got tickets; same night as my daughter's vocal concert!

Thats not embarassing fact at all..... I never went to one of NKOTB concert but listen to their music and I openly admited that ONLINE LOL

I am glad to see that I am not the only one who has their music on their Ipod.... I love the 80's music though good times!!!

I'm totally a NKOTB fan...I saw them in concert 3 times (I have a great mom), had the comforter, dolls, videos, even a NKOTB b-day...ok, maybe I shouldn't be posting this online...I do have their greatest hits CD on my IPOD. Everyday it's nice to listen to Hanging Tough and The Right Stuff on my way to work

Now see I don't' feel so bad when I listen to their music... it's good music.... I guess it would be any different than my sisters listening to the Osmonds or Jackson 5.... LOL

Thought I would post this...I was born in 79 and remember so much of this from late elementary school and early middle school. Depending on the age of your crowd, maybe you could read the list and have each person mark each one they remember (there were some I didn't) and who ever has the most "memories from the 80's" gets a door prize. Just an idea...enjoy

Sorry you all . I've been away for awhile. My 9 yr old son has been in the hospital the day that i posted this question. He's okay know but it was pretty crazy. He had a ruptured apendix.

I'm having fun taking a look back. I forgot alot of the 80's. ( I haven't always been a good girl)


I love this idea of going down the list. Thanks for the info
