at least of these are still open -
***one is for a wonderful DVD of selected Bruce small performances - see
here for details:
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.music.artists.springsteen/msg/6808479ccf794baf?dmode=source&hl=en

***and the other is for any DVD off of one person's rather nice DVD list,
your choice.

Both require a $25 donation, and both require that you email me at
adietz@xxxxxxxxxxxx as well, to alert me of your interest, so we can take
care of you.
