Clouds of Fluff

Jeff is from Belleville, IL/St. Louis area.

(o, man! hope you don't mind me speaking for you?!! )

Wow. Sounds like an amazing show! Thanks for the setlist/reviews.

Wendy, wonderful pics! You did a great job capturing Glenn too. (And I can't get over Jeff in the suit!! LOL)

Looking forward to hearing this one myself.

Out of curiousity, any Neko solo stuff during these shows?

We're seriously thinking of trying to hit the Lawrence, KS gig. *decisions, decisions*

Fireworks during Spiders:

And here's the poster (actually the brown part is really black FYI):

(oceanman, it was so great meeting you and your sweetie...tell oceangirl to stop by soon...missed you guys after the show. )

eta: dellilo, welcome, and let me know if you need any of these...might be able to get a better shot of the poster as well if you're interested.

(Here's one for a certain drummerette! )

Bit late to the party, but just wanted to add that I thought this turned into a really great show. The Crossroads is not without some problems, but I think it has a lot of potential to be a great outdoor venue for KC. In any case, I'd consider giving it another shot for a favorite artist...especially Wilco.

Maybe it was the perfect weather after all the rain and wind, or maybe it was the perfect concert companions , the chance to meet some other great VCers (still bummed I missed a few of you though!), and the absolutely great show the guys put on...it just all came together to make a truly memorable experience.

Have a few photos, courtesy of atomicblooz (my better half). (He wasn't thrilled with how they turned out, think the lighting/no flash made it hard to get some crisp shots, but I really liked 'em, so convinced him to let me share! LOL)

Soundcheck through the fence :

Andrew Bird

That's just cruel. Seriously. You people.

Yay!

popnfresh, hubby and I were just pondering the fact that the guys were probably seeing the sights in KC last night since there was no show scheduled. Very fun.

See ya'll real soon! (Wellies it is!)

Are you coming furreal?!!

I'm so sorry for your loss. All my best to you and your family at this difficult time.

Lots of vibeage coming your way youse guyses! Wishes for an answer soon, followed by much healing and renewed (and pain-free!) good health for Jen. {{{{{{{vibesfromkansas}}}}}}}

Sweet creamy jeehosedafat!

This all looks scrumpdilliumptious!

(I am one lucky, lucky girl, friends and sooies! )

Lots of healing grandparent vibeage coming from the nation's midsection!

As sure as surely dear kidsmoke, you will be there.

That one of Glenn is spectacular. I can see certain future drummers here finding much inspiration from that shot alone.

Sounds like a great show. Thanks too for including AB's setlist, solace! Can't wait for Saturday.

Thanks all for the info and recon !! I'm encouraged. (I still have to agree with poppy, wheelchair access should not be extra though. )

Hope everyone enjoys themselves...look forward to seeing you all!

P.S. jacobn., I'm no veteran or expert, but I believe soundchecks usually have been running in the 3 to 4 pm range.

Yeah, I guess so.

I'm a little bummed about this VIP thing the more I think about it. Maybe I should quit thinking about it.

I wonder how far back us peasants will be from the stage then?

I saw it's one cent over yesterday. So, there ya go. One more little reason to move to Canada.

(that's my "old" man and me)

All my best wishes for peace and much comfort in the days ahead to you, Patti, and the family.

Hope you have a wonderful day and a lot of fun tonight!

Have a wonderful day!

*bump*

Looking forward to this.

Escape is on your mind again

Escape to a far away land

At times it seems there is no end

To long hard nights of drinking

How will you go, how will you go

Drive through the wind and the rain

Cover it up, cover it up

I'll find you a shelter to sleep in

I fell over on the couch again

But you know not all sleep is wasted

Your dreams are alcohol inspired

I can't find a better way to face it

How will you go, how will you go

Drive through the wind and the rain

Cover it up, cover it up

I'll find you a shelter to sleep in

And you know, I'll be fine

Just don't ask me how it's going

Gimme time, gimme time

'Cos I want you to see

'Round the world, 'round the world

Is a tangled up necklace of pearls

How will you go, how will you go

Drive through the wind and the rain

Cover it up, cover it up

I'll find you a shelter to sleep in

How Will You Go ~ Crowded House

he looks pretty adorable!

Thanks, bg. (Of course, I'm more than a bit biased on the matter. )
