I have to show you the following conversation that just took place to express the complete exhilaration and surprise at what is happening right now:
Matt: Clarissa is filming a movie outside my window
me: Clarissa? Like, Clarissa Explains It All?
Matt: yea. I just watched them do a scene. Looks gay.
me: NO FUCKING WAY. I used to love that show!
me: are you sure its melissa joan hart
Matt: yes I am not retarded…
This is big ladies and gentlemen. Joey Lawrence had been filming at the Botanical Gardens as well last week and apparently this is all for the same movie, Your Presence is Requested. Ever since New Kids on the Block started touring again producers from the early 90′s are deciding to resurrect any possible means of cashing in on a now mid-twenties crowd who are gluttons for nostalgia.
Speaking of NKOTB, apparently they are at the Gwinnett Center tonight, so for those of you who still have photos of Donnie and Joey on your wall you can go try to relive the moments of prepubescence.
UPDATE:
Filming in action thanks to Matt

I saw NKOTB in 1988, with Tiffany and Tommy Page at the Indiana State Fair.
Once was enough, I think.
I think it’s funny that Matt referred to MJH as just “Clarissa.”
I worked with both of the on Your Presence is Requested here in town:

MJH is married to a dude I used to take dance lessons with.
My friend saw Clarissa at Anthropologie. I forget which mall. I need to find out what she bought and go there and buy 10 of everything.
Oh, is that by the Mariposa Lofts in Inman Park? Or is that Glenwood Park? I guess you don’t have to tell the internet public where your boyfriend lives if you don’t want to, though.
It is by the Blue Horse building. He just works there, so I know you can’t stalk him after 5 o’clock. That is the new townhomes between Lake Avenue and N. Highland where the Mead Factory used to be.
