Bruuuuuuuce!

Friday night, Chandra was nice enough to invite me to see Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band...for free! Of course I said yes, I can't pass up live music. I was rather impressed, he put on a good show. It was about 2 1/2 hours non-stop. I was mostly there for Max Weinberg but they were all good. The weather cooperated which was good because it was an outside show. They mostly did their new stuff which I hadn't heard a lot of but I liked it. It was at the RDS were Chandra works. I had never been there, it's a nice place. It's in the ritzier part of town right near the US Embassy (which is good to know). The rest of the weekend we just relaxed. I finally watched Borat last night which was rather painful. I watched it through my hands covering my eyes, yikes! I think it's a movie you don't have to see more than once, if at all. This afternoon we had lunch at a co-worker's apartment who lives 5 floors down from us. It was nice to spend some time with co-workers outside of work and catch up. JoAnn is very nice. She trained in England and has been living there for awhile but has just recently moved back. Anyways, she helps us try to understand this country and the way things work. Back to work tomorrow, no Memorial Day holiday here. Next weekend is a bank holiday weekend again and I'm off to Donegal for the Gaeltacht. It's just a weekend full of Gaelic Football and music. It apparently brings quite a few tourists into Glencolumbkille so it should be a bit of "craic". I'm looking forward to a long weekend away. I'm going to try really hard to utilize my camera.
