Got a phone call Monday from a friend- she had a spare pair of tickets for this Thursday’s Springsteen concert- was I interested?
Duh.
Not as easily said as done, however. Pat had a meeting scheduled. I asked a number of friends- it was just too last minute for any of them. Then Tuesday morning I got an email from one friend- she could make it afterall. Great! So I tried to call Friend With Tickets- phone was busy. Then Friend Who Can Make It Afterall called back- nope, her roof is coming off (getting a second story addition) and while that might seem a great reason to NOT be home- her three kids kinda need her there. So now she’s back to One Of The Friends Who Can’t Make It.
Called Friend With Tickets and told her that I just couldn’t swing it, she should try to find another buyer. Boohoo.
This morning Husband With Meeting called and said guess what? I’m now Husband Who’s Meeting’s Been Cancelled! Called Friend With Tickets and why yes, the tickets are still available.
So I guess I’m going to see Bruce tomorrow night!
Never saw him perform without the E Street Band so I’m really looking forward to this. I’m just hoping it’s not an arena full of people who think it’s ok to talk through all the “quiet songs”. This being an acoustic solo tour- they’re all quiet songs! In NJ you get a lot of fans who “get it”. And you get just as many who “don’t”.
