We’ve been catching our breath after a few hard days of work.
After the ticket sale was announced, Mikael and I had a hard time getting our hands on a camera, but we managed to borrow one mini-DV from Svante, a friend of my boyfriend’s. Thanks to Svante we had the equipment so we could film during the ticket sale.
I got to the Globe arena early Sunday morning, got myself a numer for the line, and then I started waiting for Mikael. He was going to hitchhike from Västervik on Saturday, but he got stuck so he didn’t arrive until Sunday morning. I was a bit worried then…
When I had to leave for work, a friend took my place in the line. Mikael spent the day filming and talking to our fellow Brucefriends. Though there are a lot of waiting, you seldom get bored. You talk to friends, discuss every angle of Bruce’s music, have a snack or a nap, go to McDonald’s to get out of the wind, listen to some good music, and suddenly the hours have passed by without you noticing it.
We had a lovely time in the line, though it was a bit windy. But the night went all right and in the morning everybody was on their toes. The line was organized perfectly, nobody managed to sneak through and we all got our tickets.
Before the sale started we filmed, and I took some still photos. Several tv-stations were there to shoot, newspaper- and radiojournalists were also there to interview people in line. We both got good tickets for the show, as did most of our friends. It was fun to be able to shoot during the time people was waiting, some had been there as early as six days before the sale went on!
Hopefully the material we got is good, and we also hope we got some attention for our film. We had printed a lot of flyers for the project that we handed out to everybody in the line. Now we’re facing more work with the budget, raising money, organizing a sponsor party, showing our pilot film and contacting the tv-networks. But it’s fun and we really hope that we pull this one through!
