I know.. it took me waaaaay to long to post this part but hey! I've waited freaking 14 years to see the guys.. you can wait a month...OK OK back to the story
So I enter the room and the first thing I see is Jordan , I know I walked by Joe and Danny, I know Jon looked at me and that Donnie was there but all I Could see was Jordan.. I saw him, he saw me walking straight to him and he opened his arms just like I always dreamed of... so I took that as an Invitation and give him a hug and he was hugging me really tight so I had to say something.... All I could think about was "oh no!! he is hugging me coz he thinks I'm from the group that is leaving now so it is a Goodbye hug"... and since I'm well known by not being able to shut my mouth and just letting all my thoughts out all I said was "Ohh this is a Hello hug coz I'm from the new group and not a goodbye one"(once again....someone should teach me to keep it shut!!) then he looked at me and I told him "I have a shirt for you"so he looked at my shirt and asked "why should I beware"and I told him "coz I have a sign for you"he laughed and said "ohh" and I asked if I could stand by him for the picture and he smiled and said "sure"! (I almost died there.. technically he just said yes to something I offered.. who the hell cares it is a picture.... I'm sure I would have offered something naughty and he would have said YES.... OH MY GOD!!! I got a yes from Jordan knight).
Then I went to Donnie coz he was the closest and I said hi, he said Hi and it was picture time... so Jordan kind of brought me towards him (and I didn't die!!) and just when the picture was about to be taken one of the girls from the night before looked at me and said "ohh I have no place to stand"and I was like "you are not taking my man!!! he just said yes to me!!"(good thing I didn't say that out loud.. so I do have some self control after all) and she was looking at me and Jordan coz I knew from last night thats where she wanted to stand.. and Jordan actually pulled me towards him a bit ( and I think I stopped breathing for a while) CLICK first picture.. then CLICK second one....
The ILAA person tells us its time to get out...
Now I have to stop the story and go a bit backwards... When I was entering the room I heard Jon saying really out loud "Oh! Israel is in the house"but I was too focused on Jordan so I didn't even say hello to him... So now, when we were asked to leave the room I had to do something about my sexy in-law..... Ok back to the story...
So the ILAA ppl want us out .. but I couldn't care less.. I went straight to Jon, who opened his arms again and I hugged him and right there... I whispered to his ear.... I had so many things in mind to whisper there.. most of them are not decent enough to be posted here but all my brilliant mind came up with was "You know you were my first love? my dad used to hate you"and he laughed ( I must learn to keep my mouth shut.... I really should)..
On my way out I stopped by Jordan again, another short hug, I said "thank you"he looked at me and said "No, thank you"and then I happily died...
But I guess I was resuscitated due to all my good acts in my life ( hm.... yeah... good acts) and I found myself running like crazy with my friends to catch a good spot... and we did!!! We stood by the stage.. there was only one woman separating me from the fence... ( and there was another one on my side trying to kill me and pushing me but hey!!!! no one was gonna make me stand far from Jordan after he gave me the "yes"!!!)..
There we were standing for two hours waiting for the concert to start when I realized that I cheated on Jordan with his brother... srsly....... I had them both there and I whispered to Jon's ear.... I hope Jordan didn't see it... :-)
The concert was amazing, as far as I am concerned it was the best night I had in I -can't -remember- how- long. the guys were great, funny and teasing us all the time.
During "games"I knew it was time to put my sign in good use and indeed .. Jordan saw it and laughed, then Donnie saw it and laughed.. and I was so happy. Srsly. after all that long wait, all the excitement, the flight, the stalking and the freaking cold I was at an NKOTB CONCERT!!! I was making a dream come true.. I don't know how many of you got to feel what it is to make a dream come true but it is something you can't really explain with words.. just amazing..
The concert went on and Jordan didn't take off his shirt, sure, I got some great eye contact (specially during summertime) and I got a wink by Jon ( Shh... Jon, you wink like that one more time and Jordan will realize we are having a little adventure!!)
So the concert was done.. and I was still like a 16 year old kid that took 1000 speeds..... srsly. I was so hyper....
On the taxi on our way to the hotel I started to realize how lucky I was, making a dream come true, meeting the guys, sharing it with great friends I met on this amazing NKOTB journey. really I felt like my adventure was complete, like I got more than I ever expected, I was really willing to go home and call myself the happiest woman alive... but the night had one last good surprise for me...
yep... to be continued
BTY, if you haven't seen this yet.... between 3:33- 3:43 you can see Jordan and Donnie looking at my sign and laughing... dunno who's the girl that took this video but she was standing a few rows behind me.. THANK YOU GIRL!!!

How i met our New Kids on the Block (aka: I'm not stalking, just following) PART IV


(Those pictures are the prints on my shirt for the concert. "beware" was in the front" and my indecent offer was in the back)
Ohhh... this is almost the last part and once the last part is done I wont have any more personal experiences to share.. until they come back this fall.. coz THEY ARE COMING BACK- RIGHT!?!?
OK, back to the story..
So there I was lying in my bed in frozen Amsterdam trying to get my beauty sleep to be able to look decent (well decent is not exactly what I had in mind.. but you know what I mean)for the M&G and the concert but I just was unable to sleep, I went over and over again trough my stupid conversation with Jordan and was still hoping that maybe it was just a bad dream but the cold on my feet and the frozen nose were a proof to the fact that i was awake....
So,morning comes and I decided that Jordan has met so many crazy fans and I am probably not the worse so maybe he won't remember me at all and everything will be fine.
I'm stopping the story just to let you know that I am the center of the universe and that things happen to make ME feel OK.. no I'm not crazy (OK so maybe I am) but just listen to this:
That night I posted on ning and nkotbfans about my meeting and how bad I was feeling about it. I wake up in the morning and while having my 2nd coffee (Why can't they have milk in Amsterdam? don't they have cows?!?!?!?!) i see on Jordan's myspace status that he wrote :"failing on making everyone happy" and since I am the only thing that Jordan has in mind I figured he wrote that for me. Well.. that or that he was in a crappy mood last night and that means he won't remember me.
Back to the story (don't you love the way I do those pauses in the story to keep the mystery??)
So I wake up, get dressed, put some more layers on, another layer and a few more layers to be able to get out the room without getting my ass frozen and I decide that today is going to be a good day no matter what!!
Then I met my friends and we decided to go for breakfast .. we were all dying to have pancakes so we had.. an English breakfast (3rd coffee of the day and it isn't even 11:00 am, Jon will be proud).. yeah that shows you how consistent I am.
We get back to the hotel and we see there are way too much blockheads so we figured the word about them being in that hotel was on the street (wasn't me!! srsly, I kept it as a top secret, I really did). Since we didn't want to stalk to much and we decided that we were gonna act like 30 year olds we just moved to the bar (4th coffee). Then we see Joe escaping from the "secret exit" of the hotel (and since we are grownups we don't even try to get close), he was wearing his regular black hat and jeans (guys c'mon I'll do ALL of your laundry)and he had a newspaper stuck in his pocket. We thought he was going to go hide in one of the American bars around to have some silence and read the paper, then we realized (he tells that in an interview) that he was actually going to Ann Frank's house (To think that I was there 2 days ago and all I had in mind was "where are the new kids" *sigh*).
As concert time is close more and more Blockheads arrive to the hotel... but we decided that we were not joining the party, so we sat far in the back of the lobby (turned to be a good decision- read and learn my fellow Blockheads). Around 3:00 pm we see the crew getting ready to leave the hotel and we also see Joe hiding (shhh.. Joe don't worry we didn't tell). Since the crew understood that the blockheads are not going anywhere (lol... they know us well) they realized they will have to bring the boys out to the cars passing the lobby YAYY!!. I didn't see Danny and Joe getting in the car. I did see Jon, he just walked by with Tinny and didn't stop. Jordan came next. The girls were wishing him good luck and taking pictures and all. We remained in the back of the room, away from the madness, but we did stand up (I wanted to see Jordan) and then magic happened again: a girl told him "have a good concert" and for some reason he looked at the end of the room, straight at us and saw us, we smiled an waved (and didn't faint and didn't run to hug him) he smiled and waved back and said "NOW, I will have a good concert". I decided that the NOW was meant for us, like that since he saw us he will have a good concert, it just sounded that way.I don't know if that's what he meant but hey!! since he isn't here to tell his part of the story we will have to stick to my version!. Of course he was still wearing the clothes I'm dying to wash...
Next came Donnie with Tinny again. He did stop, shook some hands and took some pictures. One of my friends said hi to him and he actually recognized her and asked if she was coming to the concert and then left to the car.
OK, guys are gone and we have like 40 minutes to get to the venue!!! We went to our room, changed into the concert clothes and took a cab (smart smart blockheads).
We arrived at the venue at around 4:45 ( we were asked to get there at 4:30) only to see the huge line outside the venue.
Now dear ILAA ppl, if you are reading this: If you need any administrative help give me a call, I would love to help but keeping 100 ppl outside the venue while it is raining and the whether is well.. FREAKING FROZEN AMSTERDAM... well.. let's say it isn't too smart.
Finally the line starts moving and then I realize that the girls that where with Jk last night are standing before me and that means that we will be in the same M&G group.. so typical of me... like, if it has to happen to someone it will happen to me!! I must admit I freaked out a bit (fine,A LOT) but decided that NO ONE is taking my Jordan time this time. Man!! I've been in the Israeli military!! I can fight!!! I will be sure not to break my nails and ruin my make up while I fight but I'm soooo going to defend what's mine!
Finally we got in to what the ILAA ppl call party (once again, I can help in organizing it, srsly ILAA, get some help!!) a big cold room with NKOTB music. Something that looked like food that was chewed and recycled and a bar of beer and wine. (I had only 2 beers.. good girl!!). While there my shirt had some interest from a few male members in the room but I was too worried about standing first in line of our group to get to Jordan. My two friends where amazing, I don't know how they managed to stand me and not to kick my ass and tell me to shut up, srsly, I almost kicked my own ass.... I love you girls!!! tahnx for not killing me!
I got to see some friends I met the night before and I saw who then turned out to be Petra, fixing her cool Twix necklace.
Then we stand in line and yayyyy I AM FIRST!!(Sorry if I killed anyone in the way but it was an emergency) at this point one of my friends reminds me that since she has been to several M&G already she will take me to Jordan, introduce me to him and leave me there and go to say hi to Donnie..( I love that girl) so we are standing in line and can't remember how but we are talking about the fact that I'm wearing heels coz I'm short and I want to get to see something in the concert and of course being the girls that we are we started talking about weight.. lol.. at that point I was standing by Tinny, he looks at me from his hight and says "you are fine girl" .. it cracked me up!!
and then........
yes!!! yes!!! yes!!!
Man!!! I'm excited and have butterflies in my tummy just by writing that but WE WERE CALLED IN!!

How i met our New Kids on the Block (aka: I'm not stalking, just following) PART III
Ok, I must warn you all: This post is a more "what not to do"while you meet Jordan and it's dedicated to all my friends over nkotbfans that are about to meet him for the first time.
So... Jordan - "I'm so hot people call me sun"- Knight and Joe - "I look much much better in person" McIntyre walked to the bar... At first I didn't realize that, I was still shocked about the fact that Jon touched me.. but then I saw them and Oh My Freaking God!!! Jordan was wearing his red sweatshirt (the one he's wearing during the Paris blog) black t- shirt, black pants (aka: JORDAN PLEASE LET ME DO YOUR LAUNDRY).. and well.... basically he was looking like he just jumped from heaven to say hi, the man in real life is incredible beautiful. It isn't just a matter of hotness (which he is incredibly great at) it's just beauty.. no make up.. no shaving and looked so good I think it was burning in my eyes. Well,, Joe was there too but DID I MENTION HOW GOOD JORDAN LOOKS? (bty, Jordan is taller and Joe is shorter than I imagined).
Anyways... we are sitting at the table just having our drinks when god's gift to women and Joe enter the bar. A few girls go to say hi and I don't know why but so did we (dumb dumb me.. what happened to "their private time?", 14 year old me was there again!!!) His Holly Hotness was talking to someone so I said hi to Joe and used my "I came from Israel blah blah line) he says "oh that's great and puts his arm around my shoulder.. (Joe: just so you know.. that line deserves a hug.. ask Jon.. he will explain that to you)I didn't get to say hi to Jordan that time. Now srsly, I'm trying to think what the hell made me go to Joe first??? what's wrong with me!??!!? Am i bad Jordan lover??.
So we go back to our seats and the guys go to the back of the bar (2 tables away from us) and sit with a few friends that then turned out to be band members. At that point the little brains I had left switched off and all that was left inside my body was the 15 year old blockhead that once I used to be. I was so amazed by the fact that I was actually breathing the same air as Jordan and about the fact that he was so "normal" that I wasn't thinking (and who needs to think when Jordan is around? all you need to do is look and take a mental shot of the moment)..
There we are. sitting in the same bar as the guys, just like if they were regular ppl and we were.. well... 30 year old women and not 15 year old girls.
And then it happened: I HAD AN IDEA. Normally when I have an idea, people that know me know they must ignore it.. but the girls that where with me didn't know me that well so they actually listened. I said :"Ohhh let's send the guys some drinks with a note- put it on my tab" (why oh why didn't anyone shoot me there????). The girls agreed with me (what's wrong with you girls!?!?!?!?) so I wet over to the bar tender (whom i officially crowned as a saint and told him that every 2 minutes) Asked for a paper and a pen and wrote "put it on my tab. and have a good night " I added a smiley and the bar tender went to they're table to see what they wanted to drink.
Joe saw my note ,laughed and looked around to see who sent it, we all waved and he nodded. (once again I told the bar tender he is a saint). Joe ordered what looked like tea and Jordan ordered a Shirley Temple (how innocent is that??I felt kinda dirty having all those thoughts about someone that drinks that.. but don't worry I got over it). So we were sitting there, I guess we were even having a conversation but all I know is that I was inhaling air that maybe Jordan exhaled.. hey!!!! that's like kissing, isn't it???
I wanted to go say hi (and do some other stuff that due to the fact that this is a public blog i can't tell) soooooooo bad!! But one of the girls that was sitting with me and had met him before told me to wait because they know that we are there waiting and they don't like to be approached. they will come and say hi eventually (She was the only grownup in the table. and she was right btw)..
Then.. out of no where 3 girls arrived and went straight to the guys table (hey!!!! stand in line!!!!!! we were there first!!) The girls where very very friendly with the guys, actually one of them was all over JK, and they where all laughing and having fun. It looked like either the girls knew them from before or that the guys really liked them or that THE HELL WITH NO APPROACHING!!
I figured the guys will be nice, talk to them (the one that was all over JK was sooooo wasted) and then come say hi or something... MAN!! WAS I WRONG!! It kept going on like that for like an hour. Well, I figured that if we were sitting in a bar we might as well drink some more so the four so us had a tequila ( Why didn't the bartender ask for my ID??? i was like 12 by then !!!).
I'm pausing the story to explain some things:I am a tequila lover, I love tequila shots, I can have 10 of them before getting really drunk. And I NEVER EVER in my entire life made eye contact in a bar with a man, I don't even know how you do it. Normally if a man looks at me I turn my head around coz i don't know how to deal with that. And I would never ever,not ever after 10000 tequilas actually go to man in a bar or in the street and say something.
Now that you all know my deepest secrets let's go back to the story.. So the guys where having fun with the girls and we were sitting there. I was just giving Jordan the eye, just staring at him with that "I want you" look that most girls know how to pull. He saw me and nodded. (Jordan: which part of I WANT YOU wasn't clear enough for you?!?!?!).
The bar was about to close, it was late and I was so frustrated and so .. well.. hmm... what tequila doesn't do for me- beer does. So I don't know how and I don't even remember what was going trough my little blockheaded mind but I STOOD UP AND WALKED TOWARDS JORDAN!!! He was still with that girl all over him and I just stood behind him and said something about the fact that I have been trying all night to stop myself from bothering him but I couldn't so "hi". He looked at me but kept talking to the girl and I said with the stupidest smile I have (and god knows I'm good with stupid things) "are you avoiding me?"( why, oh why didn't god take me just there!?!?!?.. WTF was I thinking!??!!? OHHH I WASN'T THINKING!!!!) He said "No!you are sitting on that table, right?" I said yes and he said "so can I come over in like 10 minutes to say hi?" then I had a moment of clarity and I said something like "sure, sorry, sorry"and left as fast as I could.
I don't think I have enough words to explain how dumb I felt, it was like all of the sudden 30 year old me realized 12 year old me has taken over me.. Srsly, you know those moments in your life when you hope the ground will open and take you?? that's how I felt. As far as I was concerned I ruined my Jordan time. For months I have been preparing for that moment, I told myself to be cool, normal, to wait for him to not push it and then BOOM I do everything wrong. Anyways I was ready to make it a Greek tragedy and kill myself (in Amsterdam if you want to kill yourself btw, all you have to do is stand on the street and some bike rider will do the dirty part of the job for you).
After 5 minutes Joe and the band left but Jordan started to do the "hi"round. He came to our table last.I think that he did that coz he wanted to give us more time (wishful thinking that is) anyways he came to our table and everyone raised and hugged him and I was so embarrassed about before that I didn't. I just shook his hand and for some reason he looked at my ring (now that I rethink it...I'm not sure it was the ring,, it was kindda on my girls direction if you know what I mean). I know we talked for a few seconds but I can't remember what did I say or what he said. I was just embarrassed and amazed by the fact that I TOUCHED JORDAN KNIGHT!!.
Then I gave him the flash memory with all the captions (you can see some here in the blog) and the "Odes to Shirtless Jordan" (soon to be posted here) He looked at it and asked "what's this" (and looked interested)I said "you have to open it to know", he said "oh it is like a video"and I said " no, it's better". He kept holding it (he held it like a cigarette between his fingers) and he left the bar, I know he took it with him to his room coz it was in his hand while he left but I don't know if he ever plugged it to his computer..... another NKOTB mystery.
So, the time was like 1:40 am and I was really wishing I could rewind all that night and delete some stupid parts out.....
We figured now it was time to leave, so we went to the lobby and on our way there we crossed Donnie coming back from the so called pharmacy. There were like 20 girls around him and he said "I'm going to my room and I'll come back"(liar liar pants on fire) but he wasn't, which I completely get, you had to see those girls!! I was mature compared to them!!!!!!!
So we stood at the lobby, we meet Chris the drummer who's a really cool dude and at 2:00 am, just before we turned into frozen pumpkins we left.
And just to show you all that god is fair: While we were leaving the hotel we saw Tinny telling one of the 3 girls that were with JK and Joe to take her friend (the one that was all over JK) home and to breath some fresh air coz she was so wasted..*evil grin*
I couldn't sleep that night, I was so frustrated about my behavior and so exited about the concert I really didn't sleep (so much for looking good for the M&G)..
So there I was, making a dream into a nightmare (am I drama queen or what???)
What I didn't know back then is that things would turn out just fine the day after that...I didn't know back then that the following day was going to be one of the best days of my life...

He kept holding it (he held it like a cigarette between his fingers) and he left the bar, I know he took it with him to his room coz it was in his hand while he left but I don't know if he ever plugged it to his computer..... another NKOTB mystery.
So, the time was like 1:40 am and I was really wishing I could rewind all that night and delete some stupid parts out.....
We figured now it was time to leave, so we went to the lobby and on our way there we crossed Donnie coming back from the so called pharmacy. There were like 20 girls around him and he said "I'm going to my room and I'll come back"(liar liar pants on fire) but he wasn't, which I completely get, you had to see those girls!! I was mature compared to them!!!!!!!
So we stood at the lobby, we meet Chris the drummer who's a really cool dude and at 2:00 am, just before we turned into frozen pumpkins we left.
And just to show you all that god is fair: While we were leaving the hotel we saw Tinny telling one of the 3 girls that were with JK and Joe to take her friend (the one that was all over JK) home and to breath some fresh air coz she was so wasted..*evil grin*
I couldn't sleep that night, I was so frustrated about my behavior and so exited about the concert I really didn't sleep (so much for looking good for the M&G)..
So there I was, making a dream into a nightmare (am I drama queen or what???)
What I didn't know back then is that things would turn out just fine the day after that...I didn't know back then that the following day was going to be one of the best days of my life...

How i met our New Kids on the Block (aka: I'm not stalking, just following) PART II
So where were we?
Oh, right.. Magic just happened!!
So we were dragging our frozen asses (and other body parts that I rather not mention) to another hotel... when we saw 2 men walking towards us.
Now it is time to stop the story and explain: The 4 of us said that if we ever met the guys we are NOT going to act like dumb teenagers ( I'm not saying that all teenagers are dumb..). We are NOT going to scream and we are NOT going to stalk them on the streets on their personal time. You know? we know they have a right to privacy and a right to have a life without us getting in the way. So the strategy was : we see them, we nod, they know we know who they are, if they want they stop and say hi and if they don't we keep on walking (and kill ourselves after that). After all we are grownups!! Now with all that said let's go back to the story.
We were not talking (your tongue might froze if you talk too much in Amsterdam) and we see two men walking towards us, one is a big guy and the other... well.. not so big.. it took each of us like 2 seconds to realize those were Donnie and Tinny. Without even saying a word to each other we just turned around and followed them for like 2 secs. (dumb dumb Blockheads *bangs head on wall*) They stopped and Tinny goes like "is there a problem?" One of the girls goes to Donnie and I believe she said something to him, then Donnie said : "I'm on my way to the pharmacy, can i meet you later at the hotel?" and the four of us together " YEAH!! WHAT HOTEL?" And the guy just gave us the name of the hotel as if it was obvious that we should have known that (thank you Donnie! thank you!!! I Love you Donnie!! Officer Wahlberg please handcuff me and take me to the so called pharmacy with you!!!)
Ok, we have been walking around that hotel for hours, we have been sitting literally in front of it for hours and we need Mr.Donnie- I'll French you if you let me- Wahlberg to tell us where are they staying??? What happened to the days where the fans had to work hard to find the guys? ah!??!!? what happened to the days where they used to hide and finding them was fun? Thank you Donnie for ruining all the fun and just giving us the name ( you can handcuff me now)
So, after realizing that we just became teenagers again and that the little part of our brains that doesn't have "Dirty dancing" on repeat just died, we decided to go to the hotel.. once again, not to stalk, after all we are Big girls now (sorry, had to put that one here) but to.... hmm.... what the f^%ck are we going to do there? Ohhh I know, we are going to see Danny sitting by the window at the bar of the hotel so we will wave and he will wave back.. and well.. since he waved we figured we are buddys now so we can go and have a drink (not with him because he was with someone) at the bar, right?!?!?
And so we did, we had a drink, and then another one and then I heard that Jon (my pure first love... I still can't understand why he never came to Israel to marry me when I was 14 and he was 24..) was standing outside having a smoke. So I decided that I'm going to say hi but this time I'll act like a 30 year old and not like a 15 year old.. (BTW, besides NKOTB I'm soooooo not the person that would walk to a stranger and start talking, so not like me). Jon was walking to the lobby (nice north face jacket, silly wool hat and a great smell)so I approached him and said " Hi, I just came from Israel to say hi so -HI" he shook my hand and then said : "woooww all the way from Israel? you deserve a hug!" and he hugged me and actually looked really happy to see me.(See Jon? we were supposed to get married back then!!) Then I told him " say hi to your bro for me" he said he will (and I went like : wtf!?!? did I just waste my Jon time to ask him to say hi to Jordan!?!??!!?) So I said something like, "well if we are talking brothers can I have a hug for my sister" and he gave me a great hug!!(watch it Jon!! my sister is only 18, I'm the real thing!!) I said Good night, he said god night and we went separated ways (he he.. had to put that one too).
I took my shaky ass back to the bar and I thought I was the happiest woman alive and that things will never be better for me.. I just hugged Jon Knight and no one or anything will ever take that away from me!! It was so easy, and it went so well, and I behaved and acted like my actual me and not like my 14 year old me (shhhh.. don't remind me about the "say hi to your bro part, OK??)
Definitely- things couldn't get any better than that... hmmmmm.. well they actually could and they did!! 5 minutes after Jon and I shared a moment (shhh we did have a moment!) Joe and Jordan (so hot I almost fainted) entered the bar......

How i met our New Kids on the Block (aka: I'm not stalking, just following) PART I
As i promised a few of you, I have to share my stalking...hmmm... sorry- following story.
For some reason i didn't find the time to do it here before, I don't think it's a matter of time tough, I think I just know that once it's out there is out of my hands and I can't tell it again (and again and again) so I was trying to hold on to it but here you have it: My own private story.
I got to Amsterdam on Jan 30 and the concert was on Feb 3rd. The plan was: Friday- Sunday: tourism. Monday morning: shopping, Monday night: meeting blockehads. Tuesday: Stalk.. hmm.. following and concert. So much for plans...
Friday started as planed, just did what people do in Amsterdam, you know. museums, coffee (haven't they heard about milk?? and sweetener!?!??! for crying out loud!!!) and well.. you know, all the other Amsterdam LEGAL activities. Everything was going well, Ii managed to be a tourist and have some real fun (and buy 2 coats).
Friday and Saturday were cold as hell but it didn't stop me from having some Amsterdam fun and from searching for NKOTB concert signs (3 in the whole city) I was happy , it looked like my NKOTB addiction didn't take over me and I was actually able to enjoy the city.
Sunday morning we decide to visit Heineken experience (Tip: if you have no change the tram driver will let you in for free). We had a couple of beers and I get a text msg: "The guys are landing in Amsterdam in like 2 hours". And that was the end of my normality.... I left the place and was making my way to the airport coz hell!! I was gonna meet the guys and nothing or anyone was going to stop me....
Well.. something stopped me: I had no freaking change so I had to go stand in line to buy a train ticket when I realized it was a while ago that I got the msg and they are probably in town by now.
But i was unstoppable (some Ritalin would have helped...) anyways, after consulting some local blockheads we figured there are a few hotels they can be at. So I picked one of them and just waited patiently.. well.. actually it wasn't that I waited patiently but I just froze and was unable to move my legs and run for my life..Another foreign blockhead joined me and after 3 hours we kindda understood we were in the wrong place, but NOTHING was going to stop us!! After realizing that if we start moving we will be able to save some organs from freezing we decided to go to another hotel, hey, whats better than a 25 minutes walk when the temperature outside is like -9 degrees? ( 15.8 Fahrenheit). OH!!!I KNOW WHAT'S BETTER!! finally finding a Concert sign and taking a picture with it ( how can you know my brain froze? coz i didn't steal the sign!!) .
To make a loooooooooong story short: they where not in that hotel either .So the situation was: I came from Israel, ruined a whole touristic day, froze to death and didn't find the boys. I was so frustrated!! knowing they where in the same little town as I was and not knowing where. Thank god that night I meet another blockhead and we had some fun so I was able to forget the frustration for like 2 hours.
Monday morning: I decide (again) that I'm going to behave like a 30 year old woman and go do some shopping and have some fun.. hmm..... plans changed when I got a msg from someone saying "Jon was spotted by the "Hard Rock Cafe". So I sent the info to our NKOTB C.I.A and we figured the area of the hotel they will be probably staying at.. but hey, there are like 8 freaking Hotels there.
Now let me tell you, when I say C.I.A. I mean : someone on the net, maps and phones, me searching the streets, someone else searching a different part of the city and a few more looking at hotels.. Let me tell you, if we lived 65 years ago, Hitler wouldn't have survived more than 5 minutes hiding)
4:00 PM, another blockhead and me walk for like an hour around the area where we think they are and NOTHING! 8:00 PM finally!!! the blockhead meeting. A few of us decided previously to meet that night to have a drink and some fun, so we did meet at the bar and indeed had some fun. I recall a brave blockhead making the barman play SINGLE..
At around 10:00 pm, my friend and I decide to go home, but on our way home we decide to check 2 more hotels.. on our way we met 2 other blockheads that where doing as we were ... we were disappointed and tired (and COLD, did I mention FREAKING COLD??!). Anyways we are walking just 100 meters (in front actually) from were we've been sitting all night long and then.... MAGIC HAPPENS
