My turn! Low Cut Connie

Is it just me, or is there some kind of "white-out" thing happening over part of "Dostoevsky's" in this post? Has VC finally cracked the code on early 70's typewriter correction fluid? I kinda miss a good white-out correction these days. Not the stripe-y tape kind, the real brush-in-a-bottle kind that you had to blow on before typing over it. Is this just a UK thing or can we use it here in garbage-land? Did you have to blow on the screen first? So many questions...

Deer Tick

Finom

Sorta. It was fundraising for Harris / Walz. But it was advertised, and ticketed thru live nation. It was at the Fillmore in SF. They also had a $1000 dinner ahead of it (also advertised - a bit too rich for me). The show itself was seated with small tables set up inside the Fillmore, rather swanky. It was an acoustic set with several requests from the audience. Short, maybe 75 minutes. Very fun, loose set.

Kind of an old midwestern / hillbilly joke. “I’ve (they’ve) got summer teeth …. Some are missing and some are not”

Jayhawks... in my very own town!

Shortly after Nels joined the band, Nels and Glenn did a little solo-duo tour that brought them here to Lexington which is where Glenn went to college. It was not long after Mobile, and Glenn played all of Monkey Chant along with some other amazing things. There were crickets. Nels somehow made incredible sounds with a plastic toy guitar and a box fan with one fan blade missing. They each played a set alone then one together. No Wilco tunes; just amazing sounds. Seeing these guys in a non-Wilco setting was mind blowing.
