Every Girl from the 80's loves ...

                                         It's Time to Get your Besties together for this Concert

As a product of the 80's, I was enamored with the New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) but much like big hair and hypercolor shirts they too fizzled out. Who could be happier than me to see them?? Not only are NKOTB back on the touring circuit but they've package themselves with Boys II Men and 98 Degrees.  Let me do you one better-> today a magical Groupon shows up for "THE PACKAGE TOUR", at an insanely low price of $58.00.

             Take Advantage of a great deal- with some good girlfriends in throw back t-shirts and Aqua Net pumped hair- to relive your youth.
