  1. I really feel your pain. I am from a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia where open-mindedness is low on the totem pole of values. I find that when I talk about Wilco, people get jealous. As if I've found something that they want, but are too close-minded to look for, so they tear it down. I say if they want to be dicks about Wilco, then screw 'em. Who cares what a bunch of radio-lovin' co-workers think aboutcha. Let your Wilco flag fly high!
  2. The White Stripes 10th anniversary show...they followed a bagpipe lead straight in to Let's Shake Hands. Tore the roof off the mother sucker.
  3. Happy Birthday Tweedy! May you live long and prosper
  4. I love the anticipation of a new album. I would never spoil it for myself by listening to some crappy copy online, regardless of how bad (and it is bad) I want to hear it.
  5. They are legit. Ghost Town was the group on-site making the posters. Of the 100 made, 25 went to Ghost Town, 25 went to Wilco and the remaining 50 were sold at the merch tent.
  6. Happy Canada Day from the East Coast!!
  7. Got ya covered buddy! We managed to get two of the clear vinyl no problem. We missed out on the signed copies, but got Glenn, Pat, Mikael and Nels to sign ours as we saw them out in the crowd over the weekend. At one point Jeff was actually behind the counter selling some with Tony Margherita, but I missed that too. Too much to see!
  8. This was fantastic, Glenn was so happy!
  9. My highlights include: 1 - Meeting Pat! 2 - Being first in line and getting number 1 of the 100 limited edition posters. 3 - Samosa Man. 4 - Having the first person I saw Friday morning as I entered the grounds be Jeff!! 5 - Having a guy in the poster lineup tell me how he had a bee sting his tongue minutes earlier as he was watching the falconry. The bee was on his burger! 6 - Overcoming my extreme fear of heights to see Michael Oatman's "All Utopias Fell". 7 - Reservations. 8 - Free gourmet popcorn! The whole weekend was just amazing. The vibe was unreal. I didn't see a
  10. I have a final exam to write tomorrow evening and then we are on the road at 2am! Safe travels everyone!!
  11. I have your photo as my desktop pic at work! My boss walked by a few days ago and goes "Is that your backyard?", I said nope, to which he replied "You have a problem".
  12. What about parking around town? We are staying in Williamstown and haven't decided whether to try the shuttles or attempt to find a spot in town. Thoughts?
  13. Alexander Ebert - love this whole album!
  14. I am getting so excited! Just had to share that
  15. Awwww, so sorry to hear that. For me, these kind of musical events open my mind a little wider each time...so you should go, you never know what could come of it. Wilco is good for your soul!
  16. Rainy Sunday morning Coronation Street marathons with tea and cinnamon buns!
  17. I'd never heard this before either. I shouldn't have listened to it at work, especially since my wonderful boss was given one to three months to live last week after his 2 year battle with a brain tumor. Must go wipe my raccoon eyes.
  18. Golden Smog - Please Tell My Brother The Kinks - Strangers Elliott Smith - Memory Lane
  19. I just can't get around to liking Duckman...he's turned out all douchey.
  20. Thanks for the info. While I wait I'm going to construct my own Solid Sound advent calendar, complete with teeny chocolate band members. That's what they should send next year with the tickets. I'd pay extra.
  21. Didn't get my email yet, did anyone else?
