Hey! What an exciting week it’s been in the BSB fandom! A new Vegas residency announcement, an appearance on Today, a Millennium 2.0 album to look forward to, a brand new song to listen to on repeat now, and a live performance on the SNL 50th Anniversary concert that had a whole room full of celebrities singing along to “I Want It That Way” last night. And, if all that wasn’t enough, Nick dropped what appears to be his new solo album cover and title earlier today. Stages! I love it and can’t wait! With so many bad things going on in the world, we desperately needed some good news and something to look forward to, and our Boys delivered, like they always do.
I was especially glad to see Kevin come out of hibernation yesterday. Between bowing out on random BSB appearances and not posting anything about his beloved Chiefs playing in the Super Bowl, I was starting to get a little concerned about him. I was hoping he was just taking a break from social media and turning down standalone performances that required flying across the world right before Super Bowl weekend, but his absence was starting to trigger bad memories of June 2006. I’d rather relive the trauma of trying to score tickets for the Into the Millennium Tour than have Kevin leave again. (And it looks like I’ll be doing that in a few days… yay!) It was such a relief to see all five Boys together again. Backstreet’s back, all right!
I’m also back with another chapter of The World Will Be Waiting! Chapter 69 is up. This is the last chapter I’ve finished as of now. Chapter 70 has been an interesting challenge to write, but I’m almost done drafting it, so hopefully I’ll have another story update in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, I’ll be back this Thursday with my next Throwback Thursday blog, which will focus on the birthday boy, Brian!
