I have wanted to meet Jordan since I was 9 years old. Finally, I met him in July at a Best Buy meet & greet. I stood in line for over an hour. I was so nervous I ate a whole pack of mint gum, I hate mint gum. Then he announced " everyone will get a hug" I started sweating and headed to the cashier to get more gum (a weird nervous habit). So finally it's my turn to meet him, I could not believe after all of these years my time had come. "Hi Jordan, can I have backstage passes?" He was very sweet & said "You know I can't do that", but I got the hug I wanted. It as only 30 seconds but it made my year. After I went home and had the shakes the rest of the day, until the concert. Then we saw him at an after party and sure enough he was still his sweet self. A very nice & respectful gentleman. A few weeks later I went to another Meet & Greet in New Jersey. Yes, I went through a couple packs of gum standing in line. This time I decided I was going to play it cool. So as I approached him I said "Hello Jordan" I am sure most fans say things like " I love your music" " I love you" "you're hot", the usual. No, not me...What do I say? "Hey, you must be hungry, can I get you a sandwich?" I don't know why that came out of my mouth, and the only thing I thought was "Wow, I have no game" I am such an idiot. So Jordan laughed out loud, and thanked me but I felt so dumb. I looked like a deer in headlights. :) All in all I love Jordan & the NKOTB even if I make an ass out of myself.
