  1. Hi guys! Sorry I didn't leak this news this year on Via Chicago. Not exactly dealing with a full deck lately.......but anyhoo.....the show is so late this year because I had to give my weekend I was holding at the Vic for solo Jeff, to Tweedy the band. Because Taste of Chicago got cancelled, they really wanted to do a Tweedy Chicago thing and with Jeff's schedule so insane, that was pretty much the only time they could do it. I had to give it up. I was kicking and screaming, but I had to do it. The good news is at least the brave people that line up won't freeze their balls off this year. So that's good. It was really hard to find a date at the Vic this year that worked for the Vic and worked for Jeff. So yes, it's only one night and yes the Saturday after is booked. But......if it sells out we do have the option of adding the Thursday, so we shall see. I hope we do because these solo shows are the best and so much fun. I'm sorry if people thought it wasn't going to happen. We have a younger son still in school here and hopefully we can continue to help support these schools. Thanks guys! Hope to see you there!! xo

  2. Hi guys......We are going to be auctioning off something pretty cool.......

     

    UP FOR AUCTION: 
    1 eight hour day of recording a song at the world famous Wilco loft. Your session will be tracked by a staff engineer and overseen by Jeff Tweedy who will also help you produce and arrange your song.. and maybe even play on it too if you need him too! You will leave with a CD of a finished mix. (date to be determined according to schedules)

     

    You will be able to bid on this item online on or after March 1. I will get all of the information you will need to bid on it and let you know. 

     

    Thanks!

  3. So..........the Box is still available for Saturday night. It seats 10 people or so. If anybody wants to buy it....let me know. You can get your friends together to pitch in, but one person should pay. I still have to figure out how that will happen. At school, we usually start the bidding at 2500 for the box, but if anybody here wants to buy it, I'd let it go or start the bidding at $1000. Let me know. Thanks! xo

  4. Hi hinko...sorry about the confusion. I am as confused as you are! But.....you can bring your son with you. You won't have a problem bringing an underage age child as long as you, the parent, are with him.

    Thanks!!

  5. Hi guys.....So-we are doing the Jeff solo benefit shows at the Vic in Chicago again. These shows are really really fun. You should all come to them! They are going to be Friday and Saturday March 30 and 31. The tickets are going on sale this Saturday February 18. The shows will be 18 and over. These shows are a benefit for the scholarship fund at our Montessori school. The tickets will be $75 for the closest upfront seats known as the golden circle, and $50 for the rest of the room. Yes, it is expensive. It's a benefit.

    Did I mention how fun these shows are? Well they are. Really really fun. Come!!

    Thanks.

  6. Hi People,

     

    Just wanted to let you know that we WILL be doing our annual benefit show(s) at the Vic. The shows will be the weekend of April 15,16.

     

    More details coming soon.

     

    Thanks,

  7. Hi guys.....

     

    The shows are 18 and over unless accompanied by an adult. As in parent.

    In other words.....you can bring your children, but if you're 17 you can't get in with your 19 year old friend.

     

    What else.......oh...the gold circle section and the $150. section are sectioned off and reserved for those ticket holders.

     

    I'm very sorry if anyone is bummed that they paid more for their ticket than the price they are now. I pretty much have no choice but to lower the price when I get closer to the show, so I can sell the tickets. Just try and remember that the money raised is providing scholarships for children. We have also donated parts of the money raised to other charities as well, such as Kawasaki Disease research.

     

    There are still plenty of tickets left. Oh, and I think somebody asked about the golden circle tickets. These can still be had if you message me with your name and how many you want and which night. The tickets will then be held for you at the box office. I'm still trying to find out if the Vic takes credit cards yet. They have always been cash only in the past.

     

    Thanks guys!! Hope to see you there.
