Backstreet Boys

As a group we were fun. We were like brothers and sisters. Every day when we were together as group, trying to keep us quiet and calm was definitely a challenge. One day before classes started Andy Pickle announced that the backstreet boys were coming to Bratislava in a couple weeks. We decided as a group that as Americans we had a duty to our culture to go support our beloved boy bands. We all got together and bought tickets as a group. There were about twenty of us who felt called to go. We all went out to eat at one of our favorite places by our hotel and caught a train out of the city. Once again we were Bratislava bound. I feel like anytime we go anywhere we go through Bratislava. I liked that the flights out of Bratislava were very cheap but I didn’t care for Bratislava itself. I felt like I was in a very scary country’s ghetto. It was kind of creepy and dirty feeling, but we all got over that for our childhood’s sake. I personally hadn’t seen them perform and I was very excited to see them. I had gotten a lot older and so had they. Brian, who of the four backstreet boys who put on the concert, brought his son out onto the stage because it was his birthday. They didn’t have anyone opening up for them so their show was pretty long. They sang and danced their hearts out for about two hours. They played a mixture of mostly old songs with just a couple new ones mixed in at the end. It was so funny to me that we were in some random country in Europe and we were in a tiny gym watching the backstreet boys. I know that ten years ago their concert would have been sold out and in the biggest possible arena. I had so much fun that night. We all jumped around, danced and sang to songs we had known since we were little children.
