Scratch another one off my bucket list! Actually, this may scratch off a couple. Back in April I wrote about my adventures in getting tickets to NKOTB. After a misstep or two, I managed to get tickets for my cousins Lauren and Kerri, my friend Cheryl, and myself. Last night we headed into Boston for… Continue reading So This Happened…
