Shoot me a PM

I live out in LA and thought I could swing a trip back home for the show, but unfortunately it doesn't look like that's gonna happen. So, I have an extra GA ticket. I'd really love to unload this to someone on here who I know will enjoy it. Total was $63.38 but I'll eat the PayPal fees. I can forward you the eTicket to print yourself.

I'd prefer emails as I don't frequent VC as much as I used to: morgan.glier(at)gmail.com

Thanks!

So, this was basically a Wilco living room show. And it was awesome. One by One killed me. And it was only the SECOND song. Just blow after blow after blow of beautiful, emotional songs that get me every time. I feel so fortunate to have been able to be there.

Also, Fred Armisen was great, but was only on for 15 minutes I was kinda disappointed, was looking forward to much more. His set was music-themed, and included impressions of Elvis Costello, Prince, and Jeff's butt.

I am speechless, and I still can't sleep. This may be my favorite Wilco show to date...and I've been to a lot of shows.

Dang, guys. You really know how to throw your fans for a loop.

Just wanted to drop in and say hello here and also comment on how great of a set it was tonight. Met a lot of great folks from Via this evening. You are all a great group of people and I look forward to getting to know everyone better!

It was great meeting you too, Brendan! Lots of friendly folks up at the front last night...which always makes a show that much more enjoyable

Had a great time but the pacing did seem a little off...I don't think I've ever seen I Got You come in that early in the set. There just didn't seem to be the steady climb in energy we usually see...had some weird ups and downs. I absolutely loved the set but I think it would've been even better with some rearranging here and there.

That being said, Reservations and Can't Stand It were definitely the highlights. I'm with nelafej, obviously they gotta promote the new album but it was nice to have so much older stuff in there. Looking forward to Thursday!

Hey guys, haven't posted on here in foreverrrrr, but just wanted to chime in and say the show was a blast and it was great to see all those familiar faces jeff mentioned

The guys have come a LONG way from that first show of the tour in Indy--it was really cool to see that jump from feeling out the new stuff (John was laughing at their first Art of Almost attempt after the Indy show) to how tight and awesome things were Saturday night..which is to be expected, obviously, but still fun to see that progression. Such a great show. High energy, everyone was in good spirits, just an all around blast. Excited to do it a couple more times this week!

Here are a couple photos of Nick, who I am very sad to be saying goodbye to

"It was just a line of chalk on a wall Kate. The job is yours if you want it." I liked that line a lot, after all the hullabaloo over Kate not being a candidate, it all having to mean something, etc etc I couldn't help but laugh. Also, was that Jacob admitting he crossed her name out in the cave? so does that mean the cave was his? (not that it really matters)

My roommate has been watching Season 1 and it's almost painful to watch over her shoulder and see how incredibly awesome it was and then sit down to watch the newest episode of this season....ugh. It's definitely time for it to end. HOWEVER...this is depressing as hell:

So is it safe to assume that Desmond has full knowledge of both timelines in both timelines? His coyness with MIB on the island was due to the fact that he was right where he wanted to be, and he obviously ran him over in the alt having knowledge of what he was back on the island.

Wait, really? That's not how I saw it at all. My interpretation was that Desmond is "showing" each person on the manifest (which he asked his driver to get at the end of the last episode) what Charlie "showed" him by nearly drowning him...Desmond ran Locke over to get him to see the flashes/memories that Charlie, Desmond, and Hurley have now had of their alternate lives. It didn't seem like animosity to me at all...he has adopted Charlie's view of things and is trying to make everyone see it. That's why he went to see Hurley. And when they cut to Locke's blank gaze at the end and then him kind of snapping to, I took it as him snapping back from his memory flashes. But maybe I'm way off...or it's a combination of the two?

PS. Did anyone else think that episode made Desmond look a heck of a lot like Jacob?

I don't know exactly what I mean by this, but I get the feeling that Widmore and Eloise are kind of like the Jacob/MIB of the Alt timeline. Does that make any sense? Or maybe it's not that extreme, and just a matter of one wanting the alt universe and one not. But it seems pretty clear that Widmore kept Eloise in the dark about who his right hand man was. I watched the Eloise/Desmond interaction again, and the tone in her voice leads me to believe she didn't know that Desmond was who had been working for Widmore. "Oh of course Mr. Hume, Charles has told me so much about you, it's a travesty we haven't met before...Well, it's about time."

I am SO happy right now.

That's all.

When I was in high school my friends and I were randomly pulled onstage and danced to "Hangin Around" with the Counting Crows at Taste of Chicago. I'm still searching for photo evidence of that...considering there was an absurd number of people in attendance (I mean, it was 4th of July in Chicago...) I figured something had to surface, but no luck.

Agreed. This was the best episode yet for that kind of juxtaposition.

 

But what about the other characters? Are we to assume that they are redeemed only in the alt timeline too? Sayid seems to be heading down the same path in both.

Perhaps that's why he's on MIB's side? Because there is no hope for redemption? I don't have an answer for Claire or Sawyer though..

I like the idea that the smoke monster was Jacob in earlier episodes. I'd forgotten this, but from Lostpedia (which assumes, by the way, that the smoke monster is and has been the MIB all throughout the series):

The ancient inhabitants seem to have also devised a method of summoning the Man in Black, which involved draining a small pool in a hidden chamber located beneath the present-day Barracks. The hieroglyphs on the door covering this chamber, which translate as "to summon protection", further suggest that the Smoke Monster served as some form of guardian.

So. Was it Jacob doing the protecting back then? Or is it possible that MIB plays a role as protector as well? Could there perhaps have been two smoke monsters? Also, is it safe to assume water repels the smoke monster in addition to ash? Just assuming, but if draining water allows him to come...I don't know, maybe no relation at all. Either way I wonder how things will play out at the hydra station.

Wow, I'm going through the Smoke Monster/MIB entry on Lostpedia, and reading all the past encounters with smokey. Some interesting stuff I've forgotten about. The MIB (or not?) appearing as Yemi, telling Eko he needs to be judged...Kate and Juliet being chased while handcuffed together in the jungle, and the smoke monster directing flashes of light at them...what was up with that?

All around a pretty decent episode this week.

Candidates

 

"This could indicate that the names are crossed out when candidates die, but it is unclear if there are other reasons that a candidate might be crossed out, too (for instance, the name Straume is crossed out but Miles is alive)."

Hmm.

Tweedy's set is one of the early ones in an event that lasts 24 hours, so I think some of the people who will eventually be posting pictures of this are still there.

It was also requested by Second City, Heather, etc. that Jeff/his songs not be recorded (I interpreted this as photos too, though I think the key issue was video) to preserve the intimacy of the show, respect for people who forked out $500 for a song, etc.

PS. Wrote A Song For Everyone was really great.

i am so pumped.

I’m not holding out a lot of hope of finding a copy down here in NZ. I’m thinking about resorting to e-Bay.

 

Desperate times.

I'm in the same boat...wouldn't resort to ebay though. It'll find us eventually, I'm sure

The whole point of the living room show was for it to be a gift. A thank you. A unique, incredible way to repay people for their generosity and help in changing people's lives. It's not supposed to be for everyone. It's for the people who gave something first.

The bottom line is that the recordings shouldn't be public. So everyone should make an effort to see that that gets honored.

A side note...I've taken the recording gladly year after year because that's just kind of how it's always been done, and it's great to have a memory of the experience. But to be honest, I could do without it. I think people have started to miss the point. It's about enjoying your night hanging out with Jeff. That's what you paid for. Not to host a show with perfect sound and a flawless set so everyone else in the world can listen to it later. That's why Wilco plays concerts. That's why Jeff does solo shows. This is meant to be different. Everyone's so anxious about getting a perfect recording, but can you imagine how different (slash awesome) the shows would be if they weren't taped? (Not that Jeff holds back much when he's on the record anyway ) I guess I'm not really sure where I'm going with this...all I'm saying is I love the recordings, but I'd be okay with the LR shows being a taper-free experience too, and I think many people would be surprised at how much more they would enjoy that kind of show (not to mention it could eliminate that whole "elitist" issue.. )

Yay! So we're all going to the French Bistro!

 

Just kidding. We'll be there, Wendy. Been too busy to get on the board in a while (it's differnt!) Looking forward to seeing you all, even those crazy California college girls!

excited to see you too!

Count me (and Erin and Kristen) in! Not sure what time we'll be getting into town, but hopefully with plenty of time for dinner. Can't wait to see you all!

Kamera!? Awesome!!

That there was a lot of ill will for jay b4 he died now all these jay lovers are everywhere when around 5% would even stick up for him a week ago

 

Honestly i dont care about this anymore

So...you want everyone who has ever said anything negative about Jay to delete their posts of condolences, grievance and concern about his death from the board?

I get your "point", you've restated it multiple times throughout the thread. But I still don't get what you want.

can't stop listening to love vigilantes...beautiful version of this song

The other thing is that people tend to think the writers use time travel as a crutch that they never originally intended to. I don't believe this.

My friend came across some old Felicity reruns the other day (which was also a J.J. Abrams show) and said that she was curious as to how that show ended. She looked it up and apparently the last 6 episodes had to do with time travel. On Felicity. Come on!!

J.J. Abrams has always been obsessed with time travel. And then he got his own show that wasn't some drama about a chick. Of course he's going to play with time travel! The whole damn series was always meant to involve it. It's no crutch, it's creator's choice/interest
