A lot of men sat at home Tuesday night, waiting for wives or girlfriends to get done re-living a blast from the past.
The men that once made up New Kids on the Block took the stage in St. Paul.
About one hundred women packed into Shamrock's Bar in St. Paul for a pre-party before the concert. This time around, alcohol was part of the party.
"It's the New Kids special tonight, but it couldn't get any better for a night like tonight," one fan said.
Alexis Lomen and Kim Carlton have traveled the country watching New Kids concerts.
"We have been to Boston. We've been Chicago. Tonight we're in St. Paul ... tomorrow we're going to Milwaukee, and we're going to L.A. around Thanksgiving," Carlton explained.
The ladies launched Project N.K.O.T.B. online when the kids announced they'd be back. Tuesday, these best friends paid more than $300 to be with them before the show.
It was a night of new memories watching boys become men.
"It's been an amazing ride and I can only say the best part of it is I get to do it with her," Lomen said, hugging Carlton.
