In the midst of all this seriousness. Springsteen tickets go on sale, Saturday the 22nd.

The show is September 21. Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines. A Monday night. I'm there. Anybody else? Might just be the kick in the ass we all need.

1. He comes to Iowa, so rarely.

In these tough times, an expensive ticket but worth every penny of it. This will be the ninth time I've seen him and every one is a special treat.

2. Can tix be gotten at Ticketmaster?

How much and are there any left? It'd be good to see the Boss and maybe we could have a mini DU meetup at a local watering hole.
On edit- Duh. I just saw in your post that the tix are available on the 22nd.

3. Bluz.

You'll get 'em. Then we'll plan on hooking up. We have to drive back to IC after the show. Gots to work. But let's plan it. Love to meet some Iowa DUers!

4. Oh man, I wish I could.

Too broke. Damn.

When I was a kid, I listened to Bruce but never really listened. Now I find myself regularly popping a CD.

5. Anybody.

Success?

6. I have to kick this. Anybody go?

I had the sincere honor of seeing Bruce, REM, Neil Young and John Fogarty at The Vote for Change Tour in '04 in St. Paul. Never thought a show would top that. Til' last night. The Birthday Boy showed up (60,tomorrow) and so did us Iowans. I haven't slept as of this writing (nearly 24 hours later). I'm still amped up. Let's just fucking pray he comes back to Des Moines before he calls it a career. Happy Birthday, Bossman!

7. Had other committments

So I couldn't make it. Glad you had a good time though. I saw Bruce many years ago (1987) in Chicago and it was quite a show even way back then. 60 and still rocking! Awesome.
