Let me tell you a little story called "Traci didn't care about the Royal Wedding until she was up at 2am and saw Posh & Becks walking into the @wabbey like smokeshows, so she decided to stay up and watch the wedding then became obsessed with the entire to-do, dvr-ed 5 hours of CNN coverage, continued to watch it for the next 2 days, and even did extensive research online of the history of monarchy in the UK."

Walk Walk, Fashion Baby

Friggin BRILLIANT.

KTBSPA

If you know anything about me, you know that there is a soft spot in my heart for the Backstreet Boys. I have been a loyal fan since probably circa 1998, and will openly admit my love for them to anyone. That being said, this week was *supposed* to be one of the most epic weeks in my life, as their new CD, "This Is Us," came out on Tuesday. My plan, along with my fellow BSB fanfriend Dina, was to celebrate their new cd by making an entire week out of it. Seeing as how I'm unemployed, the plan was to have a listening party on Tuesday, try to get standby tickets to their performance on Ellen on Wednesday, skip their appearance on Conan on Thursday to go to their CD SIGNING AT THE HARD ROCK, then finally wrap it up with the mini concert at Jimmy Kimmel on Friday.

Please note the past tense used. Sometimes, things just don't go as planned.

On Monday, this came up on their Twitter: BRIAN LITTRELL DIAGNOSED WITH SWINE FLU ~ Full Article Here (Updated) http://bit.ly/fz3JR

Of course, this is HORRIBLE, and I felt incredibly bad for him, especially after he posted a video saying how sorry he was, yet he looked completely miserable. My second thought was CRAP. They cancelled their appearances in NY, including the cd signing, which was NOT a good sign for us here in LA. Then we got news that they canceled not only Ellen, but the cd signing here as well. I cannot even express how disappointed I was about the latter being canceled, as - I shit you not- the Backstreet Boys are the number people on my "Who I'd Like to Meet" list (Right under that is Lauren Graham, which I accomplished, so as soon as I meet BSB, I seriously can die happy). But of course, I just wanted Brian to not have swine flu anymore, because, I mean ... that sucks.

Anyways, their performances on Conan and Jimmy Kimmel were still on, so at least we got to go to those, which were AMAZING (I TOUCHED AJ'S CHEST FOR APPROX 10 SECONDS).

^kinda blurry cell phone pic from 2nd row @ jimmy kimmel, as we weren't allow to bring real cameras :\ ^

Shameless promotion, here are a few of my favorite songs from the new cd (out now!)

This Is Us

If you're still reading this, kudos, because there are probs A LOT of people who think this obsession is ridiculous (and even more so because it's the 'Backstreet Boys'), but they can suck it. I don't want to hear any comments like "Are they still around?" "What happened to Kevin?" "NSYNC IS BETTER" because I will ban you from my blog. FO REALZ.

BACKSTREET'S BACK, ALRIGHT. AND NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

Current Obsessions

Hello friends! I'm blogging from my new apartment here in North Hollywood, CA. And since I don't have a job (yet), I've had plenty of down time recently, so I'm hoping I'll be able to update this more! BTW, props to everyone that followed us on our RT across America. My apologies for dropping the ball midway through it, as things got a little bit hectic. But we're here now so it's all good!

For the every day IAYN reader, you know that I have a recurring segment called (Il)legally Download This. I've decided to kick it up a notch and spread the love to not just music, but everything and anything else I'm into right now. So here's the debut of CURRENT OBSESSIONS! (I'll come up with a better name later. Suggestions welcome)

GLEE

I must admit, when I saw the pilot back in May, I wasn't too impressed. But after seeing the first episode back from their brief hiatus, I fell in love. With lines like "That was the most offensive thing I've seen in twenty years of teaching. And that includes an elementary school production of Hair." how could I not love it?

Besides the covers of current songs being amazing, the show is actually very funny and well written. Who knew? Also, gotta give props to Lea Michele & fellow azn Jenna Ushkowitz, both Spring Awakening alumni, Matthew Morrison who was in Hairspray & Light in the Piazza on Broadway (and briefly a former member of LMNT), and the cameo of the guy who played Walter, Stephanie Tanner's geeky love interest circa season 3, in this past week's episode as the psycho choreographer.

This past week's episode also brought one song in particular to my attention that I haven't been able to stop listening/watching. Ladies and gentleman, I present to you, The Acafellas:

Dos Equis Beer

Just think of this beer as the "Sam Adams of California." And petition to have it at more places on the East Coast. Rumor is they have it at Cactus Club in Boston.

Jay-Z 9/11 Concert

Jay Z and all his famous friends had a concert at Madison Square Garden to benefit the Widows, Children of Fallen Police and Firemen on the 8th anniversary of 9/11. The concert, which sold out in minutes, had amazing appearances by his wifey Sasha Fierce, Kanye, Kid Cudi (also obsessed with him), Rhianna, and more. Check out the entire show aqui

Gofobo.com

Check this every morning right after Twitter. Thanks to this site, Meghan & I are going to "The Invention of Lying" Premiere for free. Eff, what am I going to wear??

Theater Nerd Mashup

Okay, so I'm a little obsessed with Spring Awakening. Whatever. I embrace it. More specifically, the current National Tour Cast. When the show was in Boston, I saw it three times, and it was amazing. Anyways, during their stops in cities across America, they sometimes have Cabarets featuring the cast members with most of the proceeds going towards some kind of charity. Here's a performance from one of those cabarets starring Kyle Riabko, Andy Mientus, and 4th runner up on Canadian Idol, Steffi D. One of the band members from SA arranged this medley of songs, including "What I Wouldn't Do For You" from a musical called Alive At Ten, "Stars and Moon" from Songs From a New World, and hit song "To Make You Feel My Love." It's on repeat on my Youtube playlist.
