I didn’t get tickets to Bruce Springsteen’s Barcelona concert — they were sold out. I checked every concert venue in Europe — they were all sold out. And very expensive.
Despite that, it was cool knowing I was in the same city as the Boss. On Friday after work, I met friends in the neighbourhood of El Born for a quick beer and to get some new sunglasses. Apparently, Barack and Michelle Obama were in the same neighbourhood at the same time. They didn’t join us for a beer, though. I guess they had a concert to go to.
Meanwhile, 100,000 Springsteen fans queued outside Estadi Olímpic. Some of them had been there for days in hopes of getting in first and getting the best general admission position.
