Seriously, I'd pay money just to see Hoodo Voodo with the cowbell again. That was pretty freaking awesome.

Thanks!

Wondering how it went getting into the Riv last night. I'm trying to plan for what time we need to get to the Vic tomorrow. Did it run smoothly? Just looking for a heads up on the no-ticket entrance. Thanks!!

Sitting in the balcony. Taking my 8 year old son. Can't wait! (Hubby is my date for Riv and Lincoln Hall.)

We got 2 tix right at 10am. I called Lincoln Hall yesterday to see about table reservations in the balcony. They are not reserving tables for this show. All GA in the balcony.

Here are some pictures from the show last night courtesy of my husband. The link is to his FB, but I think this will work:

Right! I wanted to say something to him, but he kind of shuffled off to the side and was not making eye contact with anyone. I think he felt awkward. He was really funny and I wanted to thank him, too.

I felt a little bad for the fact that Peter Grosz was getting largely ignored in that meet and greet line. I mean, not too bad. Just a little.

We were sitting right behind all of you! And, it was nice to meet you, Gewee, and sit next to you at the show. Hope you had a safe trip back. My husband is going through the pictures and I will post them soon. Jeff was very gracious post-show. I'm just glad I didn't say anything stupid or drool on myself. Hearing the new songs acoustic really added a whole new dimension to my appreciation for the new album. Overall, AWESOME evening.

I think I was right behind you (sitting next to he VA couple).. same experience. Spoke with Sue briefly at the end after talking with Jeff. Dorks unite!

Hello out there,

I am trying to find out if cameras are going to allowed in the show. I read something about no videocamera's not nothing about a plain old camera. Any info would be helpful! Looking forward to the show!!

Does anyone know if they are going to allow cameras? It posted no video cameras, but nothing about a plain old camera.

Hey Scottie! Happy Birthday from the McMillan clan!

Soundtracks have been a good compromise for us, too. We end up buying the soundtrack to pretty much every movie our 5 year-old sees. He, too, likes to listen to Wilco, Flaming Lips, the Beatles, Shins, etc., but as far as kid music-good soundtracks are Curious George, Cars, Willy Wonka, and his very favorite is the Blues Brothers.

I'm not sure if it will drive you insane..but I buy soundtracks to movies..such as Ice Princess, Music inspired by the Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe, Bridge to Terebithia etc. Those usually have a decent mix of songs/artists and you don't get tired of listening to same person for 14 tracks...plus the age range of singers is vast and they aren't KIDDY songs.

I have the chills.

progress.

 

 

May 10-11 - Chicago, IL - Vic Theater

Presale 26 March 08, 10am. General onsale 29 March

 

 

(Presales appear to be through Music Today.)

Seriously. I did this. I bought this exact shirt for my daughter who is 15 months even though I knew it would be too big for her. And I bought the rocket shirt for my 5 year-old. They are going in the Easter baskets. They came within a week which is faster than I've ever gotten anything from Music Today.

When you just ordered a Wilco Sky Blue Sky Tour CreeMee (Ice Cream Cone) Toddler Tshirt for your 15 month old for his Easter basket.

As a KU grad-this is very cool. We'll be passing through Lawrence about a week AFTER May 14. Oh well.

That was amazing.

Good night, all!

That's it!

You've got to turn it up. Loud.

i say Shot in the Arm next.

but of course i'll be completely wrong haha.

 

edit: see?

They've played it every night so far, no?

:dancing

 

(I feel bad for putting the kid to bed now!)

Me, too. I put mine to bed during the intermission. I let him stay up listening until 10 last night and he was wrecked this morning. Tonight he asked me if he could learn how to play the electric guitar. He's 5. Too cute.

The funky static is back.

i said it last nite... but i'll say it again.... does it not make you friggen sad listening to this... especially if you've been to one of the previous shows. this is history here! i am seriously extremly disapointed. the concert was marvelous, and even jsut overall i had a great time in chicago with my friends. im like 17 and our parents let us go to chicago alone to see wilco man!

those are some pretty cool parents.

You just missed it!

Have they done Someday Some Morning Sometime yet?
