As much as I am happy about all the NKOTB events n JK solo events, it does makes me terribily sad that I miss out on everything. I really the guys should venture into newer countries (like India) and not just the regular US, Europe and Canada. We International fans love the guys as much as any US fan. I am not a blogger and since I know I wont be going to any concerts, I haven't taken BN membership. There shld be some contests specifically for Internatinal BHs, then it wld make sense for me to be a BN member.<br /><br />The idea of video calls is gr8 and yes, w/o the point system. NKs are the most fan friendly group and a vid call here n there will be awesome for us International fans who either rarely or never get to see them. They can have frequent contests for this n choose winners.<br /><br />Katie if ur going, I would request you to be please be the voice of International BHs. Have more contests where we can know them better n vice versa.<br /><br />Thanks Shalu Nag (India) @jordansIndianBH on twitterJordansIndianBHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12824356495206232969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252728478684719795.post-12506119291852980252012-03-21T16:20:52.616-04:002012-03-21T16:20:52.616-04:00Loved reading all the ideas!

I had written a long idea and as I was abou...Oh no! I had written a long idea and as I was about to post it, it disappeared ugh. Anyway, I'm trying again...<br />Not sure where this would work, maybe at the cruise or Blockstock if that happens. The idea: Speed dating!<br />The idea may need a bit reworking but could work something like this: Only 5 tickets available per round, they could do more rounds. Participants can either purchase a ticket or maybe there could be a contest or ballot system for allocation to make it more fair. So, 5 tables, with 5 girls, then the guys sit down and let's say have 1 or 3 minutes with their first girl, a bell rings and they have to swap seats, then this happens 5 times so they in the end have sat with all 5 girls. At the end instead of going on a date, maybe the girls can have an individual photo op with their have guy?<br />I for one would LOVE to have been 'on a date' with all 5 guys LOLMarliihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048573278341857711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252728478684719795.post-6518833669396584762012-03-20T19:44:52.352-04:002012-03-20T19:44:52.352-04:00I am glad you got an invite Katie, looks like you ...I am glad you got an invite Katie, looks like you will be bringing a lot of good topics to the table. <br /><br />I really like the merch. topic, couldn't agree more! <br /><br />I also like the charity idea, posted above in the comments about BH's joining the guys to help out communities in need or help fundraise for charitable organizations. Re: "Build a Block" with Jon for Habitat for Humanity, help organize a carnival of some sort with Joe to maybe help raise funds for HEAR THE WORLD, a race WITH Danny to help raise funds for Komen for the Cure, NKOTB shows where ticket purchases are donated to a charity, etc.<br /><br />=)CA Blockheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08395776403119806127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252728478684719795.post-39416635943259109822012-03-20T19:31:01.270-04:002012-03-20T19:31:01.270-04:00Love this Katie!

I'm 22 and I don't even like to wear half the stuff.. not a big fan of bright colors with sparkles. lol I think it would be neat if all five of them did a brunch or dinner like Jordan's been doing too! Some things that I think should be brought up.. DVD's!! a cruise DVD would be amazing! It's so overdue. Also, would love to see Jordan do Live & Unfinished on the cruise!

And before you ask... neither do I, which is why I would never stoop so low as some of the people on here who have left such hateful comments. Do you feel good about yourself now that you said those things about someone you don't know?!?! Aren't we all adults??? Really, it's quite pathetic! <br />Anyway, on to the topic we all SHOULD be focusing on.. the Townhall. Some of us will get to go, and some of us won't. Hopefully, good groups of fans get picked and get to voice the opinions of fellow fans in a mature way and it won't turn into a whine session. We need to promote new/fresh ideas of how we want to interact with New Kids in the future. <br />I really like a lot of the ideas that Katie listed, as well as some of the ideas that people posted in the comments.<br />** New merchandise is a big one for me (mouse pads, iphone cases, t-shirts that aren't crew neck - more v-neck/tank tops, beach towels...)<br />** Love the idea of more holiday shows. The one in Boston at HOB was so much fun, it was great to hear songs from their Christmas album. The only thing I didn't like about the show was that it was GA. It really is hard for us shorties, and I hate the pushing, shoving and spilling of drinks that always seems to happen.<br />** I for one, would hate to see the cruise go away, because I really enjoy them, but if it were replaced with a long weekend at a resort at an all-inclusive place, that would be fun too! Although, that might make for drunker people since they don't have to pay extra for alcohol, and that could lead to trouble. If they stick with the cruises, which I hope they do, then this east coast girl, would even travel to the west coast to get on board. New ports would be nice.<br />** Someone posted some good ideas about surprises in will-call tickets... that was a great idea!<br />** Bring back NKTV! I know Donnie tweets lots of pics/videos, but the backstage goofyness that happened on the 2008/2009 reunion tour was fun to watch! I would love to see more videos from the upcoming European/Australian tour. Even if they are only 2 minutes!<br />** I would also love another DVD but they might feel that Coming Home was it. I mean, they discussed why they reunited, how successful it was, they touched on the cruise, they showed them being silly with each other... they might thing, "what the heck else do we put into another dvd that won't seem repetitive??". I think a full concert dvd or a summary of all of the cruises would be fun to watch! Or, they can show what the New Kids do when they aren't touring. They can follow Donnie around on the Blue Bloods set a bit, see Joey working on making new music, or being involved in the foundations he works with or even being a dad at home, since he doesn't seem as private as say Jordan, (same goes for Danny), and then maybe see Danny during a good work-out... stuff like that! <br /><br />Well, I applied for the Darien, CT townhall as well. I am on Long Island, so that one worked best for me. If I get to go, great. It not, I'll live. I will read about it on the forum or on twitter.<br />I hope it provokes positive ideas and it doesn't turn out to be a bunch of ranting and raving. <br />Good luck to all that applied!!!!<br />@jillstar23Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12700226180984129301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252728478684719795.post-49590715756303033772012-03-20T05:16:32.948-04:002012-03-20T05:16:32.948-04:00It'd be great if they did something like this....It'd be great if they did something like this. Get the top issues that are brought up at all 3 meetings and let the rest of us vote/comment on them. It may be a bitch of a job to monitor the feedback if they open it up to comments I suppose, but at least everyone would get the chance to have some input, (providing it was open to EVERYONE and not just BN members). Even if it's just one of those polls where you rank things from "very important" to "not important" and all the options in between, to get an idea of the general opinion as to what matters the most to most of the fanbase.Pheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08535530646719944225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252728478684719795.post-64028058541541371312012-03-20T04:54:12.892-04:002012-03-20T04:54:12.892-04:00Regarding the Ultimate situation, it is a bummer t...Regarding the Ultimate situation, it is a bummer that the word is they've put a ban on props/gifts for that. Apparently it's due to that one girl who took in the sex toys. I don't see how hard it'd be for them to just check what people wanna take in and then deny anything inappropriate, because it's not like anyone is gonna pull that stunt again, so a blanket ban is a bit unfair. The international fans just want the same opportunity for their Ultimate experience that the North American fans had.<br /><br />Personally speaking, I'd had an idea for a silly pic before the concept of Ultimates even existed, but I knew it's not something I'd ever be able to ask for. Then along came the Ultimates, and part of the reason I bought one was because if there was ever gonna be a moment when I could ask for that silly pic, this would be it. But now apparently we can't take props in, so there goes that idea.<br /><br />There are also people who'd like to take in stuff to get autographed, (I know of one girl who has scrapbooks she made of each guy back in the day that she was hoping to get signed) or gifts for their fave guy. So it's disappointing if that won't be allowed on the international legs of the tour.Pheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08535530646719944225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252728478684719795.post-85240310326301444822012-03-20T04:07:31.204-04:002012-03-20T04:07:31.204-04:00One more suggestion... don't put the cruise on...One more suggestion... don't put the cruise on sale 10 months beforehand! So much can change in that length of time. Loss of job, pregnancy, etc. Then you have to find someone to buy the spot and you usually are out a chunk of money. I know it's a business, etc. but 10 months is a long time! :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17393772078555629082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252728478684719795.post-77524291519107213562012-03-20T00:14:31.556-04:002012-03-20T00:14:31.556-04:00First, I just want to say...I love you Katie! I kn...First, I just want to say...I love you Katie! I know what a wonderful person, dedicated mother and an amazing friend you are and for people to say otherwise is just sad! Hate is a terrible thing. It takes a lot of energy to be so negative. I'm glad you don't waste your time being the same way. xo<br /><br />Now...I love all your ideas, except taking a year off of the cruise. I understand where you're coming from, but I'm selfish and I love the cruise. Perhaps if they did do an event in exchange that was just as fun and exciting, I might be on board. Blockstock, random contests, more non US activities, adult merchandise (for heavens sake yes!) and an annual holiday show! YES! YES! YES!! I love all of this!<br /><br />A couple of things I would love mentioned...<br /><br />I think for the cruise they should have a lottery for Donnie's "Backrub". I've only heard of the things that happen in the line waiting for that event and it's not pretty. Perhaps instead of random bracelets being handed out, a randomly pre-selected group of girls (like the poker tournament is done) and a list requiring ID would be a much better solution. <br /><br />I would also love for someone to plug a solo Jordan show for the cruise. I've mentioned it to him a couple of times and he said he needs to talk to the other guys...so maybe someone can mention it for him! :) <br /><br />Being from the west coast, I would just love to have more events out west... maybe even a townhall out this way. I know the east coast is easier...but it doesn't hurt to ask! It would be really nice if when they had an east coast event, they would have an equally awesome event next on the other coast. <br /><br />This has been mentioned a million times but...it would be so nice to have more notice for events/ticket sales. I know we are a spontaneous bunch, and I'm not asking for a month...just maybe two weeks?? It's so stressful trying to throw things together with such little notice. There has to be a happy medium.<br /><br />One things you mentioned that I can't say enough about what an AMAZING idea it is...the VIP brunch/breakfast/dinner that Jordan is doing on his tour. Sitting next to Jordan Knight and having a random conversation about things I've always wanted to say to him was SO AWESOME! This is a BRILLIANT idea Jordan had and it would be amazing it could be extended to the include the entire group.<br /><br />I would love to see more activity from the guys on the BN boards. I miss the old days when we would get blogs and vlogs from the guys. I know they do a lot on twitter,and I TOTALLY appreciate that, but it would be a nice surprise to have video updates from the road or rehearsals. That was some fun stuff! <br /><br />I guess that's all for now. I'll be back when more things pop into my head!<br /><br />I really do hope you get invited to attend. You are a great representative for NK fans everywhere!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05414241733228907366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252728478684719795.post-4943551517141260092012-03-19T23:55:28.683-04:002012-03-19T23:55:28.683-04:00Ok, I very rarely get involved in this kind of thi...Ok, I very rarely get involved in this kind of thing- but this us absolutely insane. This world is an ugly enough place without bringing mean spirits into something that is supposed to be fun. All Katie was trying to do was get some general opinions from fellow NKs fans on what we like & what we like to see different, which I think was a very thoughtful & kind thing to do. To turn this into anything different, is totally uncalled for & you ladies ought to be ashamed of yourselves. There is no need for personal attacks on any one. <br />Katie- keep doing you.

Here's a tip to the coward who has come here to leave such posts-using the word "hella" gives away exactly who you are. I could understand if you had constructive criticism for the ideas presented, but all I see is childish jibberish. <br />KT is one of the more level headed, rational NKOTB fans out there. I say this as someone who does not know her personally nor do I correspond with her on twitter. She is the type of fan I want representing us in these meetings. I certainly don't want someone whose main goal is gaining attention from the guys, by any means necessary. I am not a "hater." Please, for the love of Pete, figure out what that REALLY means and quit acting like you hate drama because we all know you thrive on it.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05705420276893566673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252728478684719795.post-48680646469272680332012-03-19T23:19:51.681-04:002012-03-19T23:19:51.681-04:00Here's a suggestion - can the owner of this bl...Here's a suggestion - can the owner of this blog track ip addresses of the posters? I'm sure they can, anonymous or not. Maybe if @nkotb are serious about this no hate thing they match those ip addresses with bn memberships and make sure that either those people don't win anything EVER, or drop their membership. People need to stop judging. What people post on twitter, while it is public information, is only a 140 character peek into their lives. I know I bitch and moan in half my tweets, but my life really is rosy. Judging kt's parenting and work ethic based on tweets is asinine.
