We need to book camping, still. Definitely should to coordinate a meet-up. It will be the first back to back night " Dead" run for my wife and a buddy of ours - should be a hoot.
-
Did you end up getting tickets for both nights - Winston? Again going in, I figured lawn tickets would be available for a bit after the initial on sale time --- it is still kind of amazing the draw of this latest incarnation. Not that I don't think they warrant it, per se - it just surprises me.

Grabbed pavilion seats for Sat and Lawn for Fri at Alpine. I had pavilion seats in my Q for Friday, too - but tossed them back. Couldn't see spending the dough on those seats for both nights.
-
I tried on Monday and only Lawn tickets were popping up - gonna wait until Friday and see if i can find pavilion seats. If I do pull pavilion seats probably will back down when I see the total price and settle for lawn.

Having kids I think of the kid's tune 'Tiny Destroyer'.... Listening to Destroyer's Rubies now via Spotify - hopefully it erases the TIny Destroyer from my head.
-
Yeah - I have Spotify, but I still like listening to them on CD at least for the 1st time. Regarding randomness - I guess that is why I not a big fan of the 30 Trips comp test, since it goes year to year. It is nice that the each of the 4 cds are broken up into various decades, for the most part. CD 3 (81-88) and CD 4 (89-95)

Eh - I don't know - maybe a younger or newer older fan will enjoy it. I'll wait for my library system to get it and give it listen. I do like a good curated live anthology. Hopefully this will be one. I did get the 30 Days compilation - I don't listen to it too much, though. I don't think if flows real well and the sound of each song varies too much.

We have few episodes left of season 2 of 'The Crown' --- I enjoy the history back stories way more than the relationship issues of Elizabeth and Philip. I would have banished Philip to some tower if I was Elizabeth... Though I did chuckle when Philip made a crack on Elizabeth's new hairdo.

Yesterday was the biggest ever Chicago Women's March - Period!
-
I read that there were more people yesterday than there was last year.
-
My wife is heading to Chicago. We have about 30 or so representing our local group.
-
^ Yeah ---- so very sad.
-
Finally gotten around to watch the below - Cranston did a awesome job playing Johnson. Nice movie to watch during the current political climate.
-
Guess we still young at heart - I still enjoy GA tickets when we have the opportunity. The stage at Thalia is at a decent height, too -- the few times I was there with my wife (who is on the short side) - she didn't have any issues seeing the stage. I have never sat up in the balcony, there, though. Glad the new record will be released prior to the tour.
-
I am not much of a fan - but WXRT (Chicago radio station) simulcasted a Jack White concert -- I happen to have the radio on and really enjoyed it. Checked the date on it was on 7.23.2014 - sure didn't seem that long ago. Quite the set list. I did see a Raconteurs show at a Lolla - they were okay, but not memorable.
-
No exact cause, yet - but death was not suspicious, according the BBC.
-
Man - that sucks. Really enjoy the Cranberries.
-
Yeah - I 'see' you over there every now and then - pretty informative site.
-
Don't know where else to put it - i guess Wilco seen while on a different site - don't remember seeing the pic. before. The youngest one seems spectacle of Ronnie.....

Great show by St. Vincent last night -- the whole concept worked great. Canned music - yet it seem pretty spontaneous. The whole production was done very well. Was not expecting it - but the opener - the married jazz duo Tuck & Patti were equally great. I heard that there was movie played prior to the show - I guess Annie decided to change things up this leg and I am glad she did - they were both incredibly sweet when talking about Annie and themselves -- they have been playing together for close to 40 years --- Patti said once you get past the 1st 15 years it all great -- you just got

^ That's good -- I don't think CRB ever sold out there before - at least both times that I saw them there were not sold out.
-
Had the Kavalier & Clay book sitting on my shelf forever - need to read it.
-
St. Vincent!
-
Must admit - the Magpie shows I heard didn't do much for me, either -- guessing Chris's new band won't either. Much prefer the brothers just doing their own solo things. Though I understand why they are doing it - guessing they get a better draw playing Crowes tunes. Also, it is nice that Ford is back playing with Rich and it's too bad that Eddie passed away.
-
He playing a Thalia, which is great - but probably will still pass. Much rather see CRB. Esp since the tickets are a more than CRB.
