Joe - I've put in my time... now you put out!

Friday: It was my first time seeing the CasiNo Tour and I was SUPER excited! I'd seen pictures online but no video so I had no idea what anything sounded like. Our tickets were 2nd row in the far left section on the aisle. Close but so far over it was annoying sometimes. The concert started, as did the screaming. I LOVED the show. It went fast because they didn't talk much at all, but it was such a well done show! I LOVE the mash-ups they did! The concert went on and I kept trying to hold up my sign that said "RocksicleLover" but I couldn't tell if he saw it. I was getting NO eye sex and no pointing. Finally, during Hangin' Tough, Joe came over to my section and started grabbing hands. Being in the 2nd row, I couldn't really reach up there, so I just held up my sign. He FINALLY looked up and saw it. He pointed and opened his mouth wide and kinda stuck out his tongue. PHEW! After blocking people's view for a whole show it was finally time to put the sign away. After the bow Joe looked like he was coming over to our area for one last round of hand grabbing. I scooched my way up so when he came over I could add my hand to the mix so he could grab it. Instead, Joe made a b-line straight for me and wedged his foot at the edge of the stage and reached over to me. I wasn't sure if he wanted to give me a hug or what so I moved closer and he stuck out his hand. I grabbed his hand with my left hand thinking "YAY! He came over to hold my hand!" and he moved my hand up to his lips and kissed it! WHA????? Then he promptly let go, turned around and ran off the stage. My friend screamed so I did to. Then I turned around facing my friends in the rows behind me, held up both hands and jumped up and down screaming. I was so floored! That kiss was the sweetest thing Joe had ever done to/for me!!! The only way to describe the moment is MAGICAL. The rest of the night, I was on cloud 9. Maybe even cloud 10.... See my smile from after the show to the right.


Saturday: Another great concert. Again, I got no eye sex. I held up my "RocksicleLover" sign a little bit and also a sign that said "Let's kiss this...again!" It looked like he saw me and my sign during "Close To You" but I just stood there and smiled back, so it was hard to tell if he was looking at me or over me. *Blow a kiss next time. Blow a kiss next time.* After the concert, Donnie came out and did an impromptu after party that was pretty fun. That man definitely won me over a little bit more that night. No special attention to me, he's just a great guy.
Sunday: Sunday was the big 5* day with @SimplyShannon! We were planning on just going in and having a fun goofy time with our man. She looked beautiful in a black dress and I was spunky in my hot pink shirt that said on the front: "Joe, I've put in my time" and on the back: "....now you put out!" We had told the other girls in the group that we really wanted to just stick with our man. They could have a hug if they really wanted one, but we probably weren't going anywhere. They were very cool girls about it. Unfortunately we had 3 girls added to our group last minute and they didn't really play by the rules. Butted in where they really shouldn't have. The Donnie girls were totally gypped. :( Sorry girls.

The way we entered, I was 9th walking in and Shannon was 10th. I walked in and Joe and I saw each other. I held out my arms and he lit up and said "Hey". Then I said "Wait" and I showed him my shirt and he read it out loud. I turned around and he said "Now you put out.... OOOOOHHH!!!" then I hugged him and gave him a big squeeze (hopefully not TOO big of a squeeze. I was VERY excited!). Then he saw Shannon and kept his arm on me and pulled her in and said "My two girls!". Honestly, at that moment my meet and greet was complete. That made me so thrilled that he said that and I felt like anything that happened after that moment was all just extra! LOVE HIM! So, I knew Shannon had never gotten a true full-on hug from Joe so I backed up enough that he couldn't reach me anymore so he could hug her with both hands. Once she got it, I went back in and he grabbed me for the picture.
After they took the picture he said "You know, I can't kiss people, but here's the deal.... Donnie!" And he reached over and grabbed Donnie. I remember looking over and thinking "Oh hey! Donnie is here too???" Seriously, I didn't see ANY of the other guys until that moment. Donnie looked good but what was Joe up to.... Then he said "Donnie here can give kisses and..." and both Shannon and I said "NOOOOOOOOOO! NOT DONNIE! YOU!". I was up in Joe's face grabbing him saying "NOOO!" lol I did NOT want to kiss Donnie! I mean, he's a great guy, but what the heck Joe? Just cuz he's in NKOTB, you think I wanna make out with him? No no no no no. Besides, I did NOT need the 5 Donnie girls now in our group to be mad at me. As we were pleading with Joe to leave Donnie out of it, some girl snuck up behind Joe and started talking to him. She was one of the extra girls in our group so she apparently didn't know the rules (Joe is OURS). lol! While he was talking to this girl, he still had his hand on my left shoulder and around Shannon's right shoulder. Security was yelling for us to leave, but we just stared at Joe and ignored security. He was finally done talking to her and turned back to us and said "I just can't kiss people" and Shannon said "No, but we would like to kiss you on the cheek" and Joe said "A kiss on the cheek??" and kinda stuck his neck out a little. It looked like Shannon was going in for the smooch, so I followed suit. I kissed him on his right cheek. His cheek was a tiny bit scruffy. I think my kiss was just a tad to big and slobbery. I could also tell I left a tiny bit of lip-gloss on his cheek. But come on! How could I help the drooling??? I was KISSING JOEY MCINTYRE!!!!! I was getting ready to leave and quickly stuck my hand right in his face and said "You could kiss my hand before I go!" and he looked at it and then looked up at me and said "I already did!" Then he pointed and said "See? You had made that shirt before and then I kissed you! How's that!" I laughed and said "Yeah yeah". Shannon and I started walking out of the room with our backs to the guys. Then I heard Joe yell to us "I love you guys". My face lit up as I thought OMG! Why didn't I say that first??? and I yelled back "I love you too Joe!". I walked out of the M&G area and promptly licked my lips. :)
