Oct. 9, #FollowFriday

I had the good fortune of going to Bruce Springsteen's second-to-last concert at Giants Stadium last night, thanks to a friend with an extra ticket. We had great seats, and I posted photos from each song to my Posterous - as well as a few extra pics.My Posterous tweets all new posts, so I ended up having some cool conversations with other fans before, during and after the concert, so I thought I'd suggest some folks for today's Follow Friday whom I've been talking to on Twitter - some for a few weeks now, some I just "met" last night.As always, please make any suggestions for other people to follow in the comments.@hypenoticbam: I have to start with Barry Martin, because it turns out that Springsteen was playing over the loudspeakers in the hospital when both his first and second children were born. And he lives in Canada, not New Jersey. Thunder Road was playing when he was there for his first daughter's birth, and 10th Avenue Freeze-Out when his second was. Needless to say, he's a big fan.@Kcecelia: Katherine James and I have been conversing on Twitter for a few weeks now, and I'm please to say that I have her looking at bacon in a whole new light. She's fun to talk to and very cool. She likes Bruce, but much like me (and many, many others), Clarence Clemons is her favorite. He was awesome and got huge cheers every time he was shown on the big screens, by the way.@paulzink: Paul Zink and I have been chatting on and off a lot, and after I tweeted out a photo of me and my friend Laura last night, he sent me a link to a photo of a friend of his, who looks remarkably like me. Surreal. Paul tweets about all kinds of stuff and is always up for a conversation.@laurenhard: This was Lauren Hard's first Bruce concert (was only my second) and she now understands how people can get obsessed. It's true, the man plays 3 hours, NON-stop. Lauren's a Philadelphia blogger/journalist and I just "met" her last night. Caution: If you dislike the Phillies, you might not want to follow her.@stephensurefire: Stephen lives in Austin, Texas, where they know a bit about good music. Plus, he's a music business manager, so he tweets a bit about music and musicians. He expressed jealousy at my going to the concert, but he's going to see Bruce in November, so it's all good.That's it for this week.
