Reason to Believe
Things are moving fast now.
Yesterday Johanna was in the papers, the article from TT Spektra is out.
The article has so far been published in the two Stockholm papers City and Metro but it will probably show up in other papers too in the next few days.
We just got word from Jon Landau management that they turned down our request for an interview, but we're not giving up.
On Thursday next week we go to Gothenburg for the show. It's really exciting, we're keen on seeing the concert and meeting the fans. There's going to be a few busy days until next weekend, but a whole lot of fun too!

One Step Up
Today our project took another step when Johanna was interviewed by TT Spektra.
TT Spektra is a Swedish news agency that produce articles that local papers all over the country can buy.
This feature article will be available from the next week, but it will probably be published in papers close to Springsteen's two concerts in Sweden on July 23rd and 25th.
We talked a lot about why Swedes love Springsteen's music so much, what the fans will say if E Street Band is dissolved, who the typical fan is and if you feel like a minority if you are a female fan. We didn't really talk so much about our film, but the phenomenon of Springsteen.
It was very interesting and a lot of fun. It turned out that the reporter, Erik Helmerson, had been a big Brucefan, but after the BITUSA album he got fed up with the partyrocking bodypumping Bruce and he hadn't listened to the music since.
We are also in negotiations with SVT, the Swedish national television, about our film. They are interested in the material, but now we have to decide how to proceed. Shall we finish the film on our own or try to get the television company to be our coproducer? We hope for the best and that we'll get the money we need to finish the project.
In eight days it's time for the first of the two Swedish concerts on the Devils & Dust-tour. We plan to be in Gothenburg to film and then get back to Stockholm as fast as we can to prepare for the show at Hovet.
There is going to be a gathering at a nearby pub before the concert, we plan to meet our fans there and film. After the show we will host a big party for the fans in a cosy cellar vault in the Old Town. We will show our pilot film and do some more shooting. Read more about the party at this address
We're busy planning and organizing everything for next week, but stay tuned with us here and you'll know more about how everything is proceeding.
