BRUUUUUUUCE

And the earth-shaking, booty-quaking, Viagra-taking, love-making, Le-gen-dary E - Street - Band were in full effect last night at the Garden and they were nothing less than amazing. Here is the set list:

Badlands
Candy's Room
Outlaw Pete
She's the One
Working on a Dream
Seeds
Johnny 99
Youngstown
Raise Your Hand
I Wanna Be Sedated
Spirit in the Night
For You
Waitin' on a Sunny Day
The Promised Land
Jungleland
Kingdom of Days
Radio Nowhere (w/ Jay Weinberg)
Lonesome Day (w/ Jay Weinberg)
The Rising (w/ Jay Weinberg)
Born to Run (w/ Jay Weinberg)
* * *
Hard Times
Thunder Road
Land of Hope and Dreams
So Young and in Love (w/ Dropkick Murphys' Tim Brennan)
American Land (w/ Dropkick Murphys, Jay Weinberg)
Glory Days (w/ Dropkick Murphys, Jay Weinberg)
Seven Nights to Rock

The highlights for me were (in no particular order): For You, She's the One, Radio Nowhere, guitarist Tim Brennan from the Dropkick Murphys proposing to his girlfriend on stage, and Bruce's tight jeans. What can I say, the man is dead sexy. If you were at the show, you'd have to agree that Max's son, Jay, truly kicked it up a notch when he took the place of his old man behind the drums. Seriously, he's 18? I wish I had that much talent.

It was a special night for me, not only sharing the experience with N (our first Springsteen show as a couple), but my mom, uncle, sister and nana were in the house. Yes, my 77 year-old nana was rockin' out to Glory Days close to midnight.
To the BOSS and the boys,
Thank you for making last night as magical as ever. You stroke the fire in my belly too.
xoxo,
Bean

Layoffs

This time I wasn't on the receiving end, but it doesn't make it any easier. My closest friend at work got laid off and I'm pretty miserable right about now. My heart is breaking for the people that were let go because I know what they're going through. Been there and it's just plain AWFUL.

Drinks and chocolate always help. Atleast it's a long weekend.
