I NEED SPRINGSTEEN TICKETS!!!!

Geez. Yes, I need Springsteen tix for Monday or Tuesday night or both.

Ticketmaster Phonecharge only played back "all circuits are busy..." then I finally got through at 9:33 am- got the "sorry not available at this time.."

Yea, you'd think ever since I've been publishing this website and promoting the Boardwalk and Downtown, I'd have an inside shot, right? Wrong.

My daughter just called me from school. I said, "no, I didn't get any.." She repleid, "how'd you know what I was calling for?" I told her because I already put gas in her car.

The asburyboardwalk.com website started out originally for my kids so they could understand what the boardwalk was all about and for that matter, the city. At that time, not so six years long ago, the ghosts were still lingering and her driving seemed far off. Just a couple monhts ago, she called as she was drinving down Kingsley in her Jeep, blasting "Born to Run". Her first official trip with her driver's license.

Today, she thinks AP is one of the coolest places going.

"Dad, how about trying that press pass thing like we used to do with the Warped Tour??" I'd arrange for press passes for that and a couple other events and she'd cover them for the asburyboardwalk.com website.

We were just eating pizza in Vic's last night and she told a story how when she was 3, she worked in my store on the boardwalk and I was selling those little beach pails for around $1.00 (I felt bad for the little kids coming in and the moms yelling they can't have it cause they ain't got no money). I probably gave them all away. She'd almost cry when those pails left the store because she thought they were all hers. I think I still have a few left in the house here somewhere.

So all we need are some tickets. Or press passes. And we'll gladly pay for the benefit concerts.

Help make dad look good.

I'm going to donate the money raised from the asburyboardwalk.com website where people clicked on ads related to Bruce Springsteen.

Thanks and enjoy the show and city.

For fun, read this BRUCE and THE Asbury Diner Story, old Bruce story someone sent in. If you have an old Bruce story, send it in.
