I had spent an entire day in Atlantic County Superior Court representing the wrongfully accused and I was rushing back to my office to wrap things up so that I could meet my wife and The Honorable Mr. and Mrs. Damon Tyner at The Knife and Fork around 6pm. The plan was to eat at the bar and make it to Boardwalk Hall by 8, so that we would have more than enough time to get situated before Beyoncé was scheduled to take the stage at 9. As I was walking up North Carolina Avenue towards Atlantic, en route to the Leonard Law Group / Boardwalk Journal compound, I literally bumped into one of The New Kids on The Block. BEST LEGAL SERVICES Joey McIntyre a/k/a J-Mac to be exact. - SILVER - The 40 year-old New Kid was in town for a performance later that night at Taj Mahal featuring 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men and was out riding his bike and decided to stop for a quick bite to eat at Gino’s, where he ordered a slice of pizza and paged through the July edition of The Boardwalk Journal. After exchanging a quick hello, I found myself engulfed in a street side conversation for the next 30 minutes discussing a wide range of topics, among them: the longevity of NKOTB, the size of the seagulls on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, Boston mob boss Whitey Bulger, the origin of The Boardwalk Journal, the Mike Tyson one man Broadway show, Boardwalk Empire, Jersey Shore, groupies (from back in the day of course, we are now both happily married men with children), the second coming of Andrew “Dice” Clay, what a little shit head Justin Beiber is turning into (my opinion, not his), the evolution of Mark Wahlberg from rapper Marky Mark to Hollywood mogul, Frank Sinatra, The 500 Club and even Philip Leonetti’s book Mafia Prince, which I suggested he pass on to the aforementioned Mark Wahlberg. Needless to say we hit it off. My new friend was nice enough to invite myself and my wife to his concert and even invited us to come backstage and meet the JAMES J. LEONARD JR., ESQ. rest of the New Kid’s, who are all in the 40’s and are no longer “new” or “kids”. As we stood there exchanging information, not only had I lost track of time, I temporarily forgot all about my wife, the Tyners, The Knife and Fork and even Beyoncé. While we didn’t make it to the New Kid’s concert, and I was a few minutes late to The Knife and Fork, we did make it on time to see Beyoncé and she was amazing. Interestingly enough on our way home, my wife and I saw her back up dancers skateboarding through the parking lot of the Farley Plaza as one of their tour busses gassed up.
