In our detailed coverage of last Friday's Bruce Springsteen concert at the Rose Garden, we told the story of a group of women in the mosh pit wearing "Lesbians [Heart] Bruce" t-shirts, who attracted the attention of the evening's star. In the course of that discussion, we expressed some skepticism about whether the group had in fact qualified to stand in the pit according to the rules of the well organized Bruce lottery system.

A member of that bunch sent us a nice e-mail and photo the other day, explaining:

Just want to clarify one thing… we did all draw winning numbers! Two of us were there 1:00ish and in the very front of the line when they passed out numbers. The rest of the gang arrived a short while later in a group. We thought about splitting up in smaller groups and spreading out. But in the end we decided to stick together. Best decision of my life.

It was one of those rare times where everything went our way. Unbelievable night.

UPDATE, 11/29/12: Springsteen returned a few years later, and so did the lesbians. More here.
