Best Bruce Weekend Recap!

November 13, 2012

Hello my friends! This weekend with Bruce was a total success!! We made it to the pit both nights, luck was on our side! The first night I had my first experience touching Bruce as he landed on top of me during “Hungry Heart,” while crowd surfing to the stage. It was great, I realized I wasn’t holding him up but instead grabbing onto his calf. It was awesome. The second night we brought our buddies Beak and Cam to their first ever show. Somehow we got lucky in the pit lottery (thanks Heidi) and made it to the 2nd row and experienced Bruce and the band up close and personal. We got to hear a few of my fav’s, “The E-Street Shuffle,” “Murder Incorporated,” and then “Jungleland” during the encore. Not to mention some super big firsts; opening the show with “I’m a Rocker,” and playing “Devils and Dust” with the entire band. It doesn’t get much better, two nights, two totally different and amazing shows. So I’ll be done with all this Bruce obsessing for awhile and hopefully will have something cool and home oriented to tell you about soon. Hang in there guys, my Bruce posts are [...]

Ireland & Bruce

July 23, 2012

We’re back! Our quick trip to Ireland was super successful as you can see by the photo above. We were in Ireland for 5 days, we missed one flight, spent a total of 24 hours over a 48 hour period waiting in line to hang with Bruce Springsteen, we met a bunch of “Bruce Buddies” from all parts of the world, we got sunburns, we drank in pubs, we ate fish and chips, we saw some mummies, we visited the Jameson distillery and made it home in time to pick up the kids before bedtime Saturday. Now we need a vacation from our vacation. Related posts:Happy Anniversary To My Sweets.Polar Plunge 2012!Win Some Cool Valentines!Gus the Goose

Me, Waff, Bruce Springsteen, Ireland.

I’ve hinted at it here and there but I don’t think I’ve ever really come out and said it. Jeff (aka Waff) and I are heading over the pond next month to visit our guy, Bruce Springsteen at the RDS Soccer stadium in Ireland!!!!! One night over our christmas break, we semi drunkenly purchased two tickets to see Bruce in Dublin, something that we’ve always dreamed about doing. It was one of those things where we didn’t really think it all through, it just sounded awesome, so we did it. Over the course of the last six months we’ve saved and purchased actual airline tickets to make it offish, booked hotel rooms and planned an itinerary. We’re heading out in just a few short weeks and I can barely stand the wait. It’s all starting to finally seem real. We visited Dublin back in 2007 and have a decent feel for the city. We will probably do a lot of what we did last time; sit in pubs, eat, drink, visit the Guinness brewery gravity bar, stop by the Jameson distillery, go see Bruce, spend a night with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and maybe catch the new Wes [...]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Bruce Springsteen!!

Finally the project that took FOREVER, is finally done and I can snuggle with Bruce in bed. Here he is hanging out on a chair, he looks good in all sorts of rooms in my house. I took the image from the cover on Darkness on the edge of Town I import the image into Adobe Illustrator and turn it into 3 tones, dark grey, light grey and white. And den, I grid it out. I’ve crocheted the background of the pillow in white (85 single crochet stitches across x 85 rows = a really long fucking time.) Then I cross stitch the gridded pattern over the top, and a back and sew it all up. And if anyone was wondering, we did make it into the pit at last week’s Springsteen show, and Rosie came out! It was awesome, thanks Bruce! Related posts:Cool Things!Me, Waff, Bruce Springsteen, Irelan…Etsy FindsHanging Outdoor Party Lights
