On Wednesday I finally got to see Bruce Springsteen live. Madison Square Garden was completely packed and everybody was singing along and were very active. This was one of the best concerts I’ve been to because of that. I don’t know many of the songs from this tour but being in a crowd that was so excited and knew every word was still a lot of fun, even if I couldn’t sing along myself. It’s fun to go to a concert when everybody is so engaged. 
To see “The Boss” live has been on my mind since I was a little girl. Every time my parents have gone to a Springsteen concert, I have been a little jealous. I’m not a huge Springsteen fan, but it has always been on my list of concerts I want to go to. And now I have and it was in New York City and at one of the best places for concerts. I am very grateful for the things my husband and I get to do because of J’s job. Now I can take this of my list of things to do 🙂
I am also very impressed to see this 66 year old man, who’s btw in very good shape, still be so awesome on stage. The audience was a lot older, in fact, my husband and I was some of the youngest there, and I think that proves that he is one of the best artists who can keep his fans along the way. 

I onsdags fick jag antligen se Bruce Springsteen live. Madison Square Garden var helt fullsatt och alla sjong med och var valdigt aktiva. Det har var en av de basta konserterna jag har varit pa pga det. Jag kan inte manga av latarna fran den har turnen men att vara dar mitt i publiken som var sa exalterade och kunde varje ord var anda ratt roligt, aven om jag inte sjalv kunde sjunga med. Det ar kul att ga pa konsert nar alla ar sa engagerade.
Att se “The Boss” live har varit i mina tankar sedan jag var liten. Varje gang mina foraldrar har varit pa en Springsteen konsert, har jag varit lite avis. Jag ar inget stort Springsteen fan, men det har alltid varit pa min lista av konserter jag vill ga pa. Och nu har jag det och det var i New York City och pa ett av de basta stallen for konserter. Jag ar valdigt tacksam for allt min man och jag far gora pa grund av J’s jobb. Nu kan jag ta bort det fran min lista av saker att gora 🙂
Jag ar ocksa imponerad av att se denna 66 ar gamla man, som for ovrigt ar i bra form, fortfarande vara sa awesome pa scen. Publiken var lite aldre, in fact, min man och jag var nagra av de yngsta dar, och jag tror att det bevisar att han ar en av de basta artisterna som kan behalla sina fans genom aren.

Last night I went to Morgan’s BBQ in Brooklyn to meet my husband and all the other 18 people we were gonna spend the evening with. They had two tables and they ordered a lot of food (amazing ribs!). They just kept order stuff. After food they started to order desert. One brownie came in with a candle in it and I got a birthday song from all these people I didn’t know. I was a little embarrassed but at the same time I felt like this little girl again that got to blow out the candle and make a wish. I’m never too old for birthdays:)
We missed the two opening bands and came to Barclays Center just in time for Imagine Dragons. Their latest album isn’t the best, but they have some nice songs from the first album. We had a great time. I was maybe more interested in the glow sticks though, hahah. 
So, tomorrow is my birthday! We have plans for the evening but as off right now I only have laundry planned for the day, but I will try to make my day fabulous. I have to start my last year before 30 in an awesome way. 

Igar kvall akte jag till Morgan’s BBQ i Brooklyn for att mota upp min man och all de andra 18 personerna som vi skulle spendera kvallen med. De hade tva bord och de bestallde in otroligt mycket mat (amazing ribs!). De bestallde in mer och mer grejer. Efter mat borjade de bestalla in efterratter. En brownie kom in med ett ljus i och jag fick en fodelsedags sang fran alla dess personer jag inte kande. Jag var lite generad over det men samtidigt kande jag mig som en liten flicka igen som fick blasa ut ljuset och onska mig nagot. Jag ar aldrig for gammal for fodelsedagar:)
Vi missade de two oppningsbanden och kom till Barclays Center precis i tid for Imagine Dragons. Deras senaste album ar inte det basta, men de har nagra bra latar fran forsta albumet. Vi hade en bra kvall. Jag var kanske lite mer intresserad av lysroren dock, hahah.
Sa, imorgon ar det min fodelsedag! Vi har planer pa kvallen men som det ser ut nu sa har jag bara tvatt planerat for dagen, men jag ska forsoka att gora min dag fantastisk. Jag maste borja mitt sista ar innan 30 pa ett awesome vis.

Memory: Christina Aguilera

globen2.2003stripped_turné

2003, 11 ar sedan, gav jag min alskade lillasyster en konsertbiljett till Christina Aguilera i Stockholm i fodelsedagspresent. Min da basta van och hennes lillasyster (som var basta kompis med min syster) foljde med oss. Vi var alla stora Christina Aguilera fans. Hur skulle vi komma dit? Min kompis hade da en pojkvan med korkort och bil, sa han foljde ocksa med. Wow, det var sa stort att aka till Stockholm sjalva och att vi skulle fa se Aguilera live, sa coolt!!
Min kara far sa till oss att vi formodligen inte fick ha kameror inne pa Globen, sa jag lamnade min i bilen. Oh boy vad jag angrar det. Alla hade kameror saklart. De maste nyligen ha andrat reglerna. Jag hamnade langst fram och kunde nastan ta pa Christina. Vilken upplevelse! Och dansarna var sa otroligt duktiga, tyckte jag.
Det ar verkligen en av det basta minnen jag har!!

Varfor jag kom att tanka pa det var for att jag lyssnade och sjong som en galning till hennes album tidigare idag. Jim tog en nap och Thor och jag dansade runt i vardagsrummet. Hennes rost ar ju helt fantastisk! 

2003, 11 years ago, I gave my dear sister a concert ticket for Christina Aguilera in Stockholm for her birthday. My then best friend and her younger sister (that was a best friend of my sister) came with us. We were all big Christina Aguilera fans. How would we get there? My friend had then a boyfriend with a drivers license and a car, so he came with us too. Wow, it was a big thing to go to Stockholm by ourselves and we were gonna see Aguilera live, so cool!!
My dear father told us that we probably couldn’t bring cameras in to Globen, so I left it in the car. Oh boy how I regret that. Everyone had cameras of course. They must have just changed the rules. I ended up in the front and could almost touch Christina. What an experience! And the dancers were so incredibly good, I thought. 
It really is one of the best memories I have!!
Why I started to think about it was cause I listened and sang like a crazy person to her albums earlier today. Jim took a nap and Thor and I danced around in the living room. Her voice is so fantastic!
