Boy Band & Golf



So I titled this entry "Boy Band" because I know if I had titled it "Backstreet Boys" no one would want to read it. Not to say that "Boy Band" is any better, but at least it adds to the curiosity of "which band is it?" "NSYNC?" "98 Degrees?" "Backstreet Boys?" etc...



Anyway, back to my entry... Tonight I volunteered the Sony Open Pro Am Awards Ceremony that was at the Hawaii Convention Center.
To much of my surprise, I found out later in the evening that the Backstreet Boys were here (along with 50-100 groupies that were flown in, winners of some contest) just for this event. It was awesome. If you don't know, Backstreet Boys are back together after a long hiatus... I am not ashamed to admit that I know a couple of their songs and it was pretty awesome watching them actually sing them in person. AND, since it was a private event, we got to go right up to the stage during the concert... These guys were literally 5 feet away from me!! One BB even posed for my picture. It was pretty cool... Not to mention I got two free passes for the Sony Open week event, the new Backstreet Boy CD, and a Sony Open hat. Coolness.

If you have an email address I can send my shutterfly link with more pictures from the concert. It was great. They sang at least 10 songs, the ones that I knew were "Larger than Life", "Everybody", "All I have to Give", "Anywhere for you". I haven't listened to their new CD yet. You guys are great fans!
