JoBro Mania!

JoBro Mania is in full swing at our house!

For those of you who don't know (have you had your heads in the sand?) the JoBros is the affectionate name for The Jonas Brothers - THE Boy Band of 2008. They are a group of 3 brothers, Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas, who sing up-beat, young teen pop music.

My daughter, Miss M first heard the Jonas Brothers in 2007, then she was thrilled when she learned they were the opening act for the Hannah Montana tour, which we were lucky enough to get tickets to see.

She quickly decided the youngest Jonas Brother, Nick, was HER crush. She has posters plastered on her walls, and uses allowance money to buy the magazines with articles about him.

Forward to 2008 - we have now seen the Jonas Brothers headline their own tour in March 2008, and again, just last week, in Hershey, PA. Miss M be-bopped along, singing her heart out to every song. Dancing in her seat. Full of smiles, and oh-so-grown-up.

And each and every time Nick sang, was shown on the large screens, or talked, she beamed. He was, after all, talking and singing, just for HER. (forget the other 29,999 screaming fans in the stadium)

After the concert, she danced outside our Explorer in the parking lot (since we were going nowhere for awhile) She chatted with some of the other girls, from as far away as Maryland and New York, singing and dancing to Jonas Brothers songs blaring from their or their parents car stereos.

She declared that night the BEST night of her summer.

Oh, the memories of being young and having a crush on someone famous. Shawn Cassidy was my first crush. I saw him in concert when I was the same age as my daughter, 10.

And I still remember that night, 28 years later.

Til next time, I'll still be
