Springsteen Concert

If you know John, then you know one of his favorite musicians of all time is Bruce Springsteen.  Bruce announced that he was going on tour with his new album earlier this year and it just so happened that he was playing a date at the Palace, right here in MI!  We jumped at purchasing tickets the minute (literally) that they went on sale.

This was the first "event/thing" that we've done where we weren't 10 minutes down the road from Hannah.  John's parents watched her and put her to bed for us so we could enjoy this concert.  It was definitely a stressful start to the night for me, as we had just dropped my parents off at the airport and then took Hannah to his parents house.  But we survived and had a great time.

We arrived early and did a little tailgating in the parking lot with John's uncle-Steve, wife Chris, and some of their friends.  Over a few drinks, snacks, burgers and hotdogs, we spent some time relaxing before the start.
As I went inside the Palace to attempt to pump so I wouldn't have to bring my pump in later, John was going to walk around and try to sell the extra tickets we had.  Low and behold, John met Bruce!!  He walked towards a group of people he saw, and not even 2 minutes later Bruce arrived and walked over to sign some autographs.  John was only holding onto the tickets we were trying to sell, and didn't want to have those signed, so he opted for a photo instead.  I missed it all, of course!

It was a great concert, this man really rocks it out!  He played for 2 and a half hours non-stop!  He is sure one heck of a performer.  This was my 4th show and I'm sure there will be more.
