Wow, this weekend just blew by. I’ll blame my husband since he decided to go into the office not once, but twice yesterday so it didn’t even feel like a Sunday. Then again, I went with him the second time to help him clean up the mics and stuff after the earlier recording session. It was either that or stay home wondering what was taking so long.
And of course, if today is Monday, that means that tomorrow is Tuesday and…my first day at my new job!! I’m so excited to be thinking that I’ll be teaching (co-teaching) again! I’m a little nervous, but that’s pretty common. First days tend to be shakey and filled with the (seeming) fear of the unknown. I just keep reminding myself that it’s not my lesson plan so I don’t have to worry about it. I just have to do my job and all will be good. Now if only I could figure out what to wear…always the dilema.
Then we leaving first thing Wedsnesday to drive up to San Jose so the hubs can see Bruuuuuce. I’m only along for the ride. While I am a Jersey Girl, I never was much of a Bruce fan. So we compromise and save the money on my ticket (and then I regret it when he tells me just how awesome the show was) and just see him once here in LA – usually on the second leg.
Thing is, with Bruce shows, since he has so much material, you’re never sure if the show you see will be the show you’d hoped it would be. Since meeting my husband, I’ve now seen Bruce about 5 or so times. I loved every show but the last one. The last show they played for the diehard fans. My girlfriend and I only recognized like three songs. In nearly three hours of a show! That particular show was for the fans. They pulled out the deep, deep show favorites and the crowds went crazy. Not me. I just wasn’t feeling it. So yeah, we don’t waste the money on tickets to multiple shows. And I’m fine with that.
So if you don’t see me around much this week, don’t think it’s the new work schedule messing things up. It’s just because I’ll be on the road for two days. With luck, I’ll get to take some fun pictures. I do believe we’ll be passing right through Gilroy and this time dammit, we’re stoppng!
OMG are you kidding me??? I went to college back East and wasn’t a Bruce fan until I got there — at which point it was all over! I was hooked! Oh man I remember some amazing shows. I am REALLY envious!! Have fun!

It’s an age thing. I think many people my age aren’t big fans. When we were influential and listening to the radio, he had the Born in the USA album and then Nebraska. Both are not great albums – one mainstream pop, one depressing and dark as all get out.
Instead, we were all listening to punk and synth pop, new wave stuff. Now, most of us love the pre-Born in the USA songs, but again, by then, it was trite. So that’s why I think that so few people that I went to school with are huge Bruce fans. The hubs is such a huge fan though, that his Bruce-friends just look at me, a Jersey Girl and laugh at how I’m not a big fan.
He’ll have a great time at the show. And I’ll have an awesome time taking a bath in the bigger-than-at-my-house tub. Everyone is happy!
