From New Kids on the Block to Backstreet Boys, from Hanson to Jonas Brothers, female fans are a huge part of these bands' existence and ultimate success, and in the midst of their shrieks and squeals, they have turned their fandom into a true phenomenon.

We will be traveling around the tri-state area (and hopefully venture off into other parts of the country) to sit down with fans and bands from all walks of the pop-idol world to talk about their stories and experiences.

If you are willing and able to have a sit-down interview with us about your love for your band of choice -- and have stories, photographs and enthusiasm to contribute -- please e-mail FANUMENTARY@GMAIL.COM with your current location (city and state) and your availability.

In the meantime, browse through this page to see our progress!

Yesterday the Jonas Brothers had a busy day in NYC with a slew of events, which began with a taping of a Q&A segment for CBS's Early Show outside of the 5th Avenue Apple Store. I, of course, was there with my camera fully intow to capture the JB fans in all of their pride and glory, but little did I know that the biggest fan I would capture on film was actually my friend Calvin, who accompanied me...

Although Fanumentary is focusing on female fans, there are guys out there who are equally as fanatical and devoted. Sure they are far in between, but I would say for every 10 fangirls, there is that one fanboy (not to be confused with these fanboys) who blows them all out of the water.

For instance, there’s Rocco -- a bonafide JB fanboy who we met at Barnes and Noble the night before a big Jonas Brothers autograph signing. He was quite sassy and overzealous (even at midnight) and shared with us his many pictures with the band and some fun stories to go along with them. He was as die-hard as they come, and I’m almost positive that, if you’re a Jonas fan, you know EXACTLY who I am referring to. (You can see him at around 00:24 in this video.)

And then there was the guy we met a couple of months ago at a David Archuleta autograph signing who was on absolute cloud 9 after meeting his 'idol.' He was with a few of his girl friends and they had all missed class to come into the city early enough to assure entrance to the event.

It’s refreshing to see guys embracing their inner fanboy and going above and beyond for their band/artist of choice, because it adds some amusement and diversity to the scene.

So, for all of you guys out there who know the dance moves to Bye Bye Bye or have each and every episode of Making the Band: O-Town saved somewhere in their house: Holla at us! We would love to hear your side of the fandom!
