New Photo Shoot Please

Hey guys... if you are out there... reading this... can you please... please do a new photo shoot. I really would like to see some more "professional" photographs of you guys. You know... like back in the day... you at a set... with a photographer and lighting.

Not that I don't love the "new" ones that I've seen since your announcement of the reunion or the ones that we found on the bonus CD.

Thanks guys.

Strange morning... not 2 in da morning :)

So I've had an interesting morning already today... I left for work and decided that I would stop by Ghetto Walmart on my way in.  I'm really in need of a fall coat and with picking a short sleeved polo shirt to wear today I really was ready for a coat today. 

So I walk into Ghetto Walmart and head for the women's clothing... turn around and remember that Ghetto Walmart has the display for The Block in the door way when you walk in so that no one sees it.... GREAT ADVERTISING... behind a frickin door.  Anyways... I ask the person at the service desk if they give them away once the promotion is done... Granny tell me she needs to call someone from electronics to see if they do.  The Whippersnapper that she calls says he will be right up, that he has no idea what Granny is talking about.

Whippersnapper tells me that he has to ask a manager but yes they either throw them away or give them to people who ask for them.   I say that's fine... I just want to know if anyone has claimed it yet.  He tells me to wait at the desk while he goes to find a manager.  I tell him I've got a few items to pick up that I'll run and get them and meet him back up here.

So I get my items... check out... and see no sign of him.  Ugh.  So I wait in line at Granny's station to leave my contact info b/c I have to get to work.  She's taking FOREVER... I run over to the self check out ask the cashier to give me a slip of receipt paper so that I can write a note... he gives me attitude and an entire roll of tape.  WTF... I tell him I just want to write a note... I just need a 5 inch piece of it.  Good lord.  I start writing my name out and I see Whippersnapper in the doorway looking at the display.

I walk over to Whippersnapper and he says do you want me to cut it for you?  Ummm No... He pulls it off the stand and tells me to take it then.  I grab it and run like a mad woman to my car... mind you I have a Neon... and all five guys are safe in my trunk :)

September 2, 2008 - Block Day

There was so much going on yesterday that I couldn't post about it because I had to live it!

First, let me back up to Monday.  Around 10pm the main site, www.nkotb.com, was revamped.  There were tons of issues with things being launched and not connecting and people trying to get on to see the new stuff, etc, etc.  It was horrible.  They need a new webmaster and, yes, I am available... just say the word!  As of right now there is still a Test script in the tour stuff on the front page... come on already!  LOL.  They even messed it up so much that people couldn't get on the site while using Internet Explorer... as you know I'm a Mozilla girl and was on the site right away and help to triage some of my fellow Blockheads issues.  Anyways... go check it out things seem to be working now or just download Mozilla so you don't have that happen to you again, plus this site will look better.

If you are still having issues check out this YouTube which gives you an idea of what it looks like:

The CD.  The Block was officially released yesterday.  There are a few versions... 

• The Block - orange cover.  It has 13 songs on it and was the "original album"
• The Block - Deluxe - blue cover.  This has 17 songs.  Still great... but not the best.  
• The Block - Deluxe with Bonus - Looks just like the Deluxe but has a sticker on it about the bonus and is only at Target.  So go to Target and get your copy of The Block Deluxe with bonus.  Find the one with a sticker on it saying it has a BONUS DVD included in it.  Some stores may be out... so if yours doesn't have it try try again :)
  
• iTunes - also has The Block
• iTunes - also has The Block Deluxe and has a bonus song called Close To You

Here's a video about making the album:



The guys were on The View yesterday too... here's the YouTube version of it... 

Then come to find out the new video for Single was also released and the making of the video:

As if that weren't enough part II of III of the Video Blog was posted over at nkotb.com.  But of course, I will link it up for you here:

Whew... I think that's it...
