Wide Awake

Y’all, why am I wide awake like it’s 8:00 in the morning and not around 1:00 AM. Shaking my head. I had basically written a whole book about my Bell Biv Devoe experience only to decide not to share it. Believe me, it wasn’t anything juicy, just more than I needed to share. Anyhoo, I’ll share the Facebook memory that prompted it.

Facebook Memory: August 16, 2014

When I say I was devastated! I must have made that post after midnight because I said they had already performed that night. Well, they actually performed later on that day. The video I saw on the website was an advertisement.

As I said in the post, I had never won anything before winning those tickets. I always refer to them as a gift from God. For years I had wanted BBD or New Edition to perform at one of my birthday parties and the day before my 41st birthday I won tickets to the Jackson R&B Festival. Y’all, I didn’t even know who was performing until after I won the tickets. So, BBD being included in the lineup was the best surprise. Although I had to wait almost two months before I got to see them, it was so worth the wait. Great memory!

Well, good night. I’m finally sleepy.♥️

  1. I met New Edition in person when I was eight years old. My mom used to work at an extremely prominent hotel in Historic Downtown Savannah, and they were staying there while in Savannah, Georgia to perform. Needless to say, I got to see them live, too!

    I WILL NEVER forget meeting them or that concert!

    So, I understand your excitement! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

    1. Love it!!!😄 Back in 2009—looked up the date for the “book” I had written but didn’t share🙃—I went to a BBD concert at a casino in Biloxi. When I tell you I was on cloud nine! Then, during a short intermission, the group was exiting through a side door that was near where I was seated and I ran to the side and yelled “Heyyy,” and Michael Bivins turned around, smiled, and spoke and waved. Girl!!! I thought I had gone to heaven. Couldn’t tell me NOTHING!!!😂😂😂 My dream is to have all six serenade me and I BETTER NOT be in heaven or on my way there when it happens.🤣
