Editor on vacation: Elizabeth is on vacation for a few days, so if you want to be featured in this column, send an email with information to me, Regional Editor Susan Manning: susan.manning@patch.com.

Bruce: So far, 28 people have commented on the blog post by on his first Bruce Springsteen concert. Have you weighed in?
