"If you don't like the weather in Oklahoma, wait a minute and it'll change." -- Will Rogers

Don't forget, there's also an appearance by the Sears Tower in Sears clothing!

 

ah, the days when we had TV writers

I would even treat Britney as a human, but I work at pretty much the lowest possible level of journalism possible.

I just finished editing the Ledger obit for the paper where I work (The Oklahoman)

If you are going, get there early. In Tulsa, it was billed as doors at 7, show at 8. Ryan came out for the acoustic set at 7:20.

yeah that's the show at the Chicago Theatre. They did "Is That The Thanks I Get"

I had it uploaded on MySpace since it aired, but the powers that be removed it just last week.

Just noticed via e-mail from New Music Tipsheet that Wilco are listed to appear on Conan this Friday. I guess this is a repeat?

according to this page it is a repeat

He was in a great mood in Tulsa and put on an incredible show. He surprised us with a 5-song acoustic set of new songs to start the night (essentially opening for the Cardinals).

Here's some pics ...

and some video I shot:

OSU and Oklahoma should be banned from BCS games . . .

Yeah let's ban two teams that have both won national titles in the last 10 years.

Just saw them on New Year's Eve in Oklahoma City.

Here's a video I shot:

Brandon Bass, "To Death By Ducks"

Brandon Bass was a Hornet when they played here in OKC. How weird that came up for me.

You are the finishing touch that made Wilco in my opinion for a fact the "perfect band"

fixed

Fucking grown up bankers making me pay my mortgage whether I sleep here or not! Fuckers.

Yep, I spend a considerable amount of time at my girlfriend's house, but I still have to pay my mortgage. So I say the same should go for renters.

They played a lot of old songs in late summer/fall. I anticipate more being thrown in after they see the light of day in the residency.

The Cain's Ballroom poster says "Sky Blue Sky Tour 2008"

It's not pretty...at least for OU.

Ugh. I'm ready for baseball.

Did you notice there are photos of all the artists to the right -- except Wilco? Wilco gets an MTV logo instead.

He needs to lay off the tanning beds.

Eddie Sutton to coach again?

Guess he really wants to get to 800 wins.

Here's a vote for "She's a Jar"

Please, please, please don't let Tulsa sell out!

If the money fairy visits me before March, I may try to make that one.

I bet it will sell out before then. I'm doing my part. 6 tickets so far, and still recruiting friends.

I think this might be my favorite:

OU couldn't miss. It's pretty obvious how bad the Hogs need a point guard.

 

Congrats to your boys.

The funniest part of the game for me: At halftime, the OU football team was honored and a few players spoke to the crowd. I predicted the moment would get the loudest crowd response of the day and I think I may have been correct. Gotta love a football school.

Boomer Sooner Pig Sooie. That's the best I've seen OU look in ages.

I thought this was going to be the "I live in [insert city other than Chicago] and although I am trying very hard to do so, I simply cannot rationalize a plane ticket, a 5 day pass to the Wilco Residency, and 5 days off from work" thread.

 

I hate it here.

Don't forget the hotel, too.

I hate it here.

At least until Wilco shows up in Oklahoma.
