It's hard to get excited for spring when there is about three feet of snow on the ground, and we're in the middle of a government issued "state emergency". But rest assured, the end is near. At least according to Punxsutawney Phil (yes, that is his name) who thankfully did not see his shadow this morning. This means that with any luck at all, the snow should be melting and spring should be on it's way in no time. We hope.
Though schools may have been cancelled today, many of us still had to brave the sleet and freezing rain to get to work. This can be particularly trying if you work in and around the city where the traffic (MBTA included) and parking is at it's absolute worst, and the sidewalks, for whatever reason have not been sanded. Trust me, I have already exceeded the amount of times it is acceptable to fall in one season. So believe me, I understand what it's like to literally fall into that 'winter-rut' and want to stay inside as often as possible.
But today, I've decided to follow in the optimism of our little Groundhog and start psyching myself up for the warm weather. And what better way to do that than share with you what is likely to be one of the greatest concerts in Boston history. Get ready for it...on June 14, 2011 The New Kids on the Block and The Backstreet Boys will be performing a reunion concert at none other than our very own Fenway Park!! Word on the street is that our favorite boy bands will be performing new and old material. Seriously, as someone who grew up in the 90's and once owned the NKOTB bed set, this news is nothing short of elating. So ladies, round up your girlfriends- this is sure to be legendary.
Now guys, don't feel left out. Any concert under the Green Monster is sure to be a blast. You'll be at one of the greatest venues of all time. Not only do the Red Sox call Fenway their home field, but it has also played host to the NHL Winter Classic, the Rolling Stones, and Aerosmith, amongst others. If you're single; grab a couple guy friends, a Fenway Frank, and a beer because this concert is sure to be packed with twenty and thirty-something females. And if you've got a girl, what better way to kick off the summer together (and look like the man) than getting her tickets. You don't have to be a die-hard fan--it's more about the experience than anything else.
Pre-Sale tickets are now available for AMEX card holders. The rest of us will have to wait until Saturday (February 5th) to get our tickets. Let the countdown begin!!!
*As a side note - I'd like to add that the only way I could possibly be more excited for this was if NSYNC and 98 degrees were also added to the line-up* ;)
