Nick and Knight

When I heard the Nick and Knight announcement this week, I was excited to hear that I'd get to hear Nick sing some more. Financially, it didn't come at a good time. I was really watching my spending because the second cruise payment was due this week, but I couldn't pass up an opportunity to go to a Nick concert so I'm going. I purchased my general admission ticket and am lucky enough to do vip with Nick. I can't wait for this show because it'll be at the same venue (Chicago House of Blues) as the venue I seen Nick for his other solo shows and it was always a blast. A squishy, hot, my feet are killing me blast, but a blast none the less. The things I do to hear Nick sing lol.

To be honest, I don't like how Nick is doing this as opposed to a solo tour just because I'm not a fan of NKOTB or any other boyband (with the exception of BSB even though I don't consider them a boyband). I think them teaming up equals to higher ticket prices because Jordan is there, Jordan fans making it more hard to get up close to the stage, and less vocals from Nick. I absolutely had the best time on Nick's I'm Taking Off Tour and would have liked something like that again, especially since I consider it one of my favorite BSB moments, coming close to last year's cruise.

I also was annoyed with the vip info changing at the last minute. First it was $150 for an individual picture with Nick, then it was $150 for a group of four with Nick (I wouldn't have bought that), then it was two fans with Nick (I was imagining how that would be LOL), and lastly it went to an individual picture but for $250. I had a feeling that Ground Control would realize that a group photo of any kind wouldn't work, but I knew they would raise the price. I'm just disappointed that they posted all of this without making sure that's how it was going to go down. Don't announce anything until you got it all set and ready and realize how important that moment and picture is for every fan. It was really nice how Nick addressed the issue on Twitter and made it back to individual pictures. It was also a nice coincidence that he tweeted that right after I tweeted him asking if he could make it back to individual.

I was actually considering doing the Miami show too, but I won't be doing that because that'll be more money spent. Also, when the Nick and Knight dates were leaked, Chicago was listed as having two shows and I'm kind of hoping they only do one just because I can't spend any more money and that way I wouldn't feel left out lol.

This makes me thank BSB for doing vip pictures at the Chicago Theatre for $150 for just me and the whole group! That picture is so special to me and turned out wonderful thanks to Justin and I literally look at it everyday. It's so special to me! Even though we didn't get a soundcheck that day, I'm just glad the price was reasonable. As much as I enjoy hearing soundchecks, I would probably just do the picture if that was an option and it was cheaper that way.

Back to Nick and Knight. I still have to catch up with some of the publicity on it from this past week. It was frustrating to have to be at work and well...work while knowing all info was being released online lol. I did watch the guys on GMA and that was short, but nice to see Nick. I also watched the Wendy Williams show and that was a fun one. Wendy asked Nick how the other BSBs were responding to this project and Nick's reaction made it seem like they are not totally 100 percent on board so I found that interesting. They had a BSB quiz on the show and I was getting frustrated with the BSB fan because it took her awhile to answer the quiz questions lol. Then I was able to watch Watch What Happens Live and that was a fun one. I still have to watch the after the show videos online and was told those were funny. Here's a picture of Nick and Jordan on Wendy Williams:

I heard the first single of Nick and Knight, "Just the Two of Us." It needs more Nick lol. It's good, but as a Nick fan it would have been wonderful to have a whole solo album from Nick only. You can hear it on Perez Hilton's site. I didn't preorder the album yet because if it's going to be sold in stores, I'll just get it that way.

I did the uturn Nick and Knight poster thing and that was something fun to do and I posted it on Twitter. I wish they would follow me on Twitter and it would be even better if Nick could follow me on twitter, but they are busy and popular guys lol. Here's the uturn poster I made:

Speaking of busy, Nick has so much going on. I'm happy for him, but I hope he gets some sleep in there and some downtime.

I'll be busy getting ready for my Chicago IAWLT show, Nick and Knight show, and the cruise! I'm so happy and thankful I get to be at these events. I'll also be seeing a Kiss show with my brother and going to a Paul Stanley book signing with him as well.

As far as other things go, I'm gearing up for programs at work that includes storytimes, craft programs, and I'm trying to establish a youth creative writing group.

Hope everyone got their Nick and Knight tickets and I'll see you at the Chicago show!
