Robin and I went to a party at Fenway Park for the "New Kids on the Backstreet Boys " (known as NKOTBSB ) concert. It was part of a Hot Stove Cool Music VIP Party Celebrating Music, Baseball & Giving Back program that is sponsoring Robin for a workshop writing songs with girls who have been 'trafficked'. Hot Stove Cool Music proceeds directly benefit an organization called "Foundation To Be Named Later"  (FTBNL)  whose partners include Roxbury Youthworks, West End House Boys and Girls Club, BELL, City Year, Citizen Schools, Room To Grow, Steps To Success, The Home for Little Wanderers, Horizons for Homeless Children, Molo Care. Donations go to the Peter Gammons/FTBNL scholarships. Link here.

Lots of screaming teenagers and very ex-teenagers. Donnie Wahlberg graciously spoke to the crowd of stroboscopic cameras and wowed fans. The whole scene was ultra Boston - bands, sports, and charity. What a town. Unfortunately, we didn't stay for the show because I had my own show to perform that night. But we met a remarkable group of people dedicated to helping some really disenfranchised populations. And ran into some old freinds, as well. Amazing where we all end up after years of everything else.
