What got you into BBMak?: One day my friend told me there was a new hot group out called MMBok or something.. She couldn't remember the name but she thought that sounded right. So I went and bought the single (then realizing it was really BBMak), and I loved it! Their cd came out and I got that too.
Favorite BBMak Memory: I've been to 3 BBMak concerts, but the best one was the 2nd one. It was at the Canyon Club inside the Bronco Bowl in Dallas. We were really close and my friend caught Christian's sweat towel that he threw out. It was so awesome!
Why they are a great band: These guys are so awesome, hot, and talented. I love them all & their accents!

What got you into BBMak?: When I kept on hearing Back Here on the radio. I just fell in love with the song. The lyrics were so real and the music was original. I remember seeing them on some TV show, and hearing them perform live. I was just mesmerized by them! Right after that I went and bought their CD.
Favorite BBMak Memory: There's to many! I think my favorite was when I first got their CD. I just fell in love with them after that! I had to catch every TV show, appearance, etc. I caught Mak Mania!
Why they are a great band: They have this unique sound. It's really hard to describe. They also can really sing, and there's not a lot of people in the music business that can do that. They are real guys that enjoy making music. They also seem so sweet and caring. The reasons go on and on. They're just a great band!!!!

What got you into BBMak?: Seeing them perform live...they were SO amazing
Favorite BBMak Memory: Like 2 weeks ago at a mall signing...my little thing with Christian. lol. I dunno what it was cuz I have seen them a billion times and I've always liked Ste. But that day Christian was just like...woah. And he told this lady that worked for them to give me his guitar pic that he made and it was like,10 minutes after I got off the autograph line. And he just kept staring & smiling at me and stuff. It was fun. lol. :o)
Why they are a great band:Cuz Christian & Ste play the guitar & I play the gutiar and they're just "my type" of guys...very very talented too! Why they are a great band:Cuz Christian & Ste play the guitar & I play the guitar and they're just "my type" of guys...very very talented too!

What got you into BBMak?: Hearing their video "Back Here" and kept listening to see how good they were.
Favorite BBMak Memory: Waiting in line 3 hours at Randhurst on (6/17/01) to meet them. They were so nice...and it was well worth the wait.
Why they are a great band: BBMak is a great band because they aren't afraid to put themselves out there. They are so dedicated too. You can see they love what they are doing. And what seperates them from the stereotypical 'boy-bands' is they play their own instruments and write their own music, which is great. They also are very nice and very involved with their fans. Without their influence on the Street Team...it wouldn't be as popular. We Love You BBMAK.

What got you into BBMak?: My mom told me about them, after becoming friends with them while they were playing a gig at Disneyland, during Spring Break of 2000, but I really fell in love after seeing them on the Disney In-Concert Special with M2M.
Favorite BBMak Memory: A tie between winning the BBMak #1 Fan contest on the Queen Latifah Show and getting to hang out with the guys backstage after PremEARS in the Park in Irvine, CA.
Why they are a great band: That's EASY!! They're are so amazingly talented. They can all play numerous instruments, they all have amazing voices, and they blend together so smoothly. They write many of their own songs, and they also produce. Not only are they talented, btu they are the 3 HOTTEST guys ever to walk the planet!!! Ste, Mark and Christian are also really down to earth, and sweet to their fans, they give so much to us....and can we say BRITISH!!!! I die for those accents! I just what to say that I love BBMak with all my heart and "Always" will! Keep the BBMak Pride alive! *Cheers*

What got you into BBMak?: Hearing their wonderful voices!!
Favorite BBMak Memory: Going to the BBMak backstage party at The Palace in Hollywood. It was a great evening, partly because there were famous people there and it was a strictly NO FANS ALLOWED type of thing so there were no screaming girls that distracted their attention- so they were totally layed back- and were just themsleves. I loved getting to spend 45 mins. to just talk to Christian's dad about different things ( some about Christian, some about life) Christian's mom is really nice too, but his dad was just really awesome, very interesting......he even invited me to visit when I go to England next summer.
Why they are a great band: They are genuinely extremely nice guys that truly appreciate the success they have had within the past year. They are very down to earth and will try to do as much as they can to please you. And lastly, they have such wonderful voices! I think their voices are the best sound on earth!

What got you into BBMak?: Flipping through the channels...I ended up landing on the Disney Channel first airing the "Back Here" video about a year and a half ago.
Favorite BBMak Memory: Alright, so I've been working on trying to find a way to make BBMak recognize me as a GREAT fan for over a year and a half. HARD WORK we're talking about...like, not sitting around and strumming BBMak guitar chords, but I'm talking about entering ALL the contests, joining ALL yahoo!groups, and best of all, creating an over $3,000 budgeted movie JUST about BBMak! Well, anyways--I was really starting to loose hope. Nothing had really come of the movie, we weren't winning contests because of the movie, we had given it to Mike McNally, and Ste didn't say much about it "supposively" and things were just SO dissappointing. So then Amy (from Kansas, who I made the BB-Movie with) decided to do a really risky move--we decided to go meet Mike himself and try to connect with BBMak some how in Chicago. Which is about 3,000 miles away between the both of us!! So 3,000 plane flights and car milage later, we finally arrived in Chicago. Mike promised to call us--no CALL. So dissappointed after watching BBMak preform at the *NSYNC concert @ Solider Field, we walk a MILE to find a cab--finally we do. In pain and SO dissappointed, we go back to our hotels--and we decided that we will have to wait in a line with other fans and non-fans to see them at the Kodak Mall Tour. We wake up LATE...and we drive like hell to get to the Randhurst Mall the next morning. We arrive with only a half hour before the whole thing starts, and we are about 500 people back!! But we got the LAST TWO GOLD PASSES and we are assured our 30 seconds with BBMak. Anyways...we wait, BBMak is an HOUR late...late like usual. LOL! I tell Amy to wait in line, and I ran outside as I saw the tour bus pull up...I stand outside, looking into the windshield to see the backs of people...then MIKE turns around from inside the bus and mouths "THE GUYS SAW THE MOVIE!" with my mouth wide open, STE then turns around from inside the bus and mouths, "NIKKI!" and gets off the bus and does a Kung Fu move like I did in the movie we made them!! I felt like CRYING I was so happy!! BBMak went into the mall, and I got pictures with Daniel outside!! He's such a great guy too...I had him autograph my guitar too (which I was going to have all of the guys sign, rather that using the black and white photo you got for free) well--with time ticking away and Amy having to get on a plane from O'Hare to ENGLAND that day in about an hour and a half, we FINALLY made it up to the autographing session. As I came around the corner, I heard the WONDERFUL voice of......aww yeah, CHRISTIAN! "I RECOGNIZE YOU!!! NIKKI FROM THE MOVIE!" I was SO shocked he knew who I was!! We talked for a while, then their tour manager came up to me and shook my hand and told me how he had liked the movie himself! OH...MY...GOD!!!!!!! LOL! Girls started yelling at me to hurry up and were getting impatient, so I was pushed along next to Ste. He is SO HOT, I'm sorry!! LOL! He told me I was his *FAVORITE* from the movie and he thought it was great!! He was so sweet and we talked and I love his brother MIKE! LOL! I was taken next to Mark, who thought the drawing I gave him and the movie was (in his own words) "Brilliant." We had our pictures taken, then Mike McNally pulled us aside and told us to come with him! We got special autographed CDs from him and Amy got all the low-down on where to go while she was in England, from a McNally!! LOL! :) We had pictures and hugs with Mike and our movie had been a success...as we were leaving, Mike said that Diane, BBMak's manager had seen the movie as well...and there was going to be a LITTLE reward for what we had done--and to expect a phone call. I haven't gotten the phone call yet, but that was the BEST day in my life so far!!!

What got you into BBMak and Favorite BBMak Memory: What got me into BBMAK was when I heard them on a radio interview on the radio station Z100 on May 17th, 2000...I remember I was getting ready for dance class and I heard British voices..I turned it up to see who it was and when they said BBMAK i was like "WHO?"..so they said they would be giving a free concert at the Palisades Mall so I figured I'd check it out if I had time..who knew maybe they'd be the next *NSYNC..but then before my dance class I turned on the tube and what appears but a new video by a band called BBMAK....so I watch...determining whether these guys would be a waste of time or not...well I took one look and was hooked!!! So I dragged my friend to the mall with me the next day and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life....from that point on my life changed and now I have some direction ...but anyway once I got there..they started playing and they were absolutely gorgeous and sounded amazing!!! And I noticed that Christian kept smiling at me so I was just like "whatever he is smiling at all the girls"..so then he says "every girl that buys a cd gets a kiss from me!!" so considering it was a valid form of bribary, I ran into the store and bought a cd..then I ended up buying 2 because I wanted to give one to my lil cousins since they love NSYNC and all of those pop bands....so anyway the concert ends and the signing began ... so once I get up to them they were super nice to me..and I talked to Mark and Ste about my family in England and they talked about where they lived and anything of common interest in England...but after 3 minutes of this the security guard told me that I was holding up the line and had to move, so I went on to Christian . I saw that he wasn't kissing anyone so I was kinda pissed off...lol..but he saw two CD's and was like "wait who is Joseph, Frankie, and Matthew??" and I said "oooo those are both mine" and then he looked up at me and smiled and said "Hi!!!!" I was just like "umm hi back..." and he said "so these are both yours??" and I said "yup!!" so he just pulls me over the table and lands me one smack on the lips!!! I was flabergasted!!!! So I throw my camera to my friend and said "can we do that again that so I can get a pic?" and he was like "I'd love to!" ahhhhhhhh omg I was in 7th heaven when he said that!!!! So anyway he kissed me again!!!! and it was amazing!!!! I mean I know it was only a peck on the lips...but my friend was a good pal and pretended that the zoom was meesed up so we had to hold it for a few secs..heheh..but come on this is Christian Burns we are talking about!!! Any sane girl would!! SO anyway I said thanks and he said "no ..thank you!!" I was like ahhhh I love you..lol..and from then on anything in the tri-state area that they were at, so was I!! and now when i see them, they know my name because I gave them an awesome cookie basket when i saw them at Regis and then that led to a phone call from them!! and then that led to Rosie O'Donnell bringing me onstage with them on her show!!! So anyway that was one of the best BBMAK experiences I have had!!! They are a great band because they make amazing music and draw their fans into it all...in concert...your ears and eyes are not once off of them!!! And they are amazing to their fans!!!

What got you into BBMak:Their music...even before my best friend and I had a chance to match faces to their music, we were already hooked to them! The first few times we heard them on Radio Disney, we didnt even know their names! (this was January of 2000)
Favorite BBMak Memory: Theres several but my favorite is when they did their first Jay Leno appearance and we wanted to meet them again so badly! (we met them at the Donnie and Marie taping which was taped earlier that year) and so after we had gone to the show (which was so fun) we waited by my best friend's car for about 15 minutes and then something told me that we should drive around...as we did, we could hear girls screaming as a limo was pulling out of the studios. Heads were sticking out of the limo and sure enough, it was them! Ste looked so funny smiling with his head through the top of the limo and Christian was waving his shoes through the window. They past'd our car and my best friend blew kisses to them and Christian did it back (cute pics too) and so they were motioning us to follow them! And of course we did! They finally stopped in front of their hotel and it was awesome! We talked to them till all the other fans left and they were just Rockin'...especially when the "bubbly" came, but thats another story! *oh and just for the record...Christian likes FLASHY cars!*
Favorite BBMak Memory: cause they just are! Anyone can see that a true band rocks out with their own instruments and come on now, only Mark can make the bagpipes look and sound so cool as he plays it! And just cause they dont dance, doesnt mean anything(as a matter fact, Mark dances salsa really good!!!) They are just talented, HOT, and overall ROCKIN!!!

Favorite BBMak Memory: At the concert in Albany. NY, there wasn't alot of people there but a good amount. I had like 5th row or something. During the concert it got quiet and i yellled up to Ste and waved and he waved back..I could tell he was doin it to me because it was dead silent and when i yelled he looked up .. :P The whole concert was the best concert I've ever been too!
Why they are such a great band: They are so talented musically and have a way of them on stage that is so much fun and you can tell they are having so much fun. They're music has its own uniqueness and is just awesome!! :D
