Here is a report from Ashley Furniture at Bensalem, PA. It was announced that both Knight brothers, Jordan and Jonathan Knight from New Kids on the Block, would appear and do photo ops. Over the years I've met every member of NKOTB except for Jordan Knight who I failed on in 2024.
The song "Step by Step" was big when I was in late elementary school and early middle school. So this event was a "must go" for me because it completed NKOTB without paying big money for their concert VIPs.
I arrived at the store and a long line had already formed. Thankfully we were able to wait inside which was nice since it was arctic level cold outside. Two unique things about this event. 1) I found no familiar faces in the photo op line and 2) The attendees were predominantly middle aged females. This may be the first predominantly female combo related event I ever attended.
I did see one Philly grapher I knew, and turns out he was actually running the event! So that was a little shocking.
NKOTB were scheduled for 2-4. They arrived 1:30. The line went very smoothly. When you arrived it wasn't even their own camera. You handed your own device (which I prefer) and your photo got taken. The Knights were friendly especially Jonathan who is even super friendly on the street. Jonathan also asked where I was from. My photo op with Jonathan is actually an upgrade compared to the 2024 NYC one where he has a cap and eye glasses. So basically one fresh op and one upgrade.
I was a little nervous going to this event because I was expecting this kind of event to be a disorganized zoo and I was expecting people to be shut out. But it could not have been run better. I thank all who put this together.
