Stylish Bostonians Have Nice Clothes, Lack Self-Awareness
Close to the Edge: Near Death on the Orange Line
This Week In Booze: If You Build It

People Magazine is reporting that the former five hardest working kids in show business might just become the five hardest working middle-aged men in show biz. That's right - New Kids on the Block are reportedly planning to follow in Extreme's footsteps as the latest former Boston glory band returning to the spotlight.
Just how long has it been? Bostonist remembers back when teen mag pin-up boy Joey Joe McIntyre (who has subsequently dropped the extra Joe) was busy modifying the vocals to "Please Don't Go Girl" because his voice had finally deepened (that would be the Hangin' Tough World Tour). Now? Joey McIntyre has a new baby. Oh, and he's 35 years old. Yeah.
In honor of this news, we present our take on the discussions that surely must have taken place prior to the decision to update the official NKOTB website. We'd like to think that the process went as follows:
Step One - Realize the amount of enjoyment that could take place from such a reunion.
Step Two - Acknowledge the potential for what could be accomplished through said reunion.
Step Three - Accept that only McIntyre, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood would make such an event take place.
Step Four - Discuss the manner in which the band could take its musicianship to the next level.
Step Five - Inquire about whether people are aware of the timeliness of this reunion.

NKOTB and rockapella in one day... my childhood reminiscence is complete!
I am in Missouri and I am so stoked for this to happen. This is their chance to do their final good-byes as a group to all their loyal fans. I have had the pleasure of meeting 3 out of the 5 just last year, and meeting them 3 last year just brought back so many wonderful memories from my childhood. I really hope and pray that these Fab 5 can pull this off with a bang. I'm there for them through it all, even if they do a 1 time pay-per-view event, I'm there for it, NO MATTER where it is. NKOTB is still Hangin Tough with The Right Stuff here in my house.
This is the most amazing news, I am SO excited! I'm 35 and married now and I never thought that I'd see NKOTB together again :) Bring that reunion on!
