So, the Cinci show is June 12, and looks like a one-stop warm-up for Bonnaroo on the 13th after they get back from Europe.

In looking at Andrew Bird's tour, he is also playing at Bonnaroo (14th). His date prior to that is June 8 in Colombia, MD.

So.........

It seems only logical that AB would stop by in Cinci to have a one-night warmup with his Wilco buds before the Roo fest.

I approve. Tony, call Andrea and do lunch.

That is all. Carry on.

Gee, why the sudden lack of interest in this thread?

I had no idea you two were twins.

Happy Birthday! !

This is the first thing I thought of when I saw the cover :

there will be tables and chairs

there'll be pony rides and dancing bears

there'll even be a band

Camel rides. Brilliant. But apparently, the band split.

Oh, I know. I was nervous as a cat all evening. And i had a conference call back home at 9, so I was sweating that too. So I snuck out at about 10 till and got all set up, and BAM! row CC in the pit! The internet generally behaves fine here, but you never know.

I saw the last show at the Aranoff, and was about in the 5th row (non-pit), which were great seats. Row B will be great.

Here in China for two weeks; one down, one to go. Fascinating as always. A little trouble sleeping...

I starting pinging it around 955, and got in before 10. Got third row pit dead center. I was shocked, but in a good kind of way. Actually still shocked. I am in China, so I was worried that I would be somehow identified to be a bot or something. Maybe I got the coveted "Asian Allocation".

are the pics from tonight, or just stock?

Yeah, I'm done being a smartass now.

Liar liar, pance on fire.

Damn... I wonder what the odds are of a St. Louis show or something between Cincinnatti and Oklahoma City

They have that Bonnaroo thingie on the 13th between the 12th in Cinci and the 15th in OKC. Sorry.

But WOO-HOO for the Cinci show ! !

Oh, yeah. Many happy returns of the day, sooie.

Have a big whoop-tee-doo ! !

hoo boy. not pretty

You all are my kind of people.

I think most albums* work best when heard all the way through, but maybe that's just me.

 

_{* Most that I would bother to own, anyway. Britney Spears albums, for example, don't qualify.}

Absolutely! Pretty much all my listening involves listening to the whole record/CD.

 

Growing up in an era of LPs and cassettes, where we tended to slap it on and only touch it when it had to be flipped probably shaped my listening habits somewhat .

Same here. I've never used the shuffle thingie on my ipod.

I blame it on 8-tracks. I could probably still tell you where the "cluh-chunks" were in Pink Floyd's The Wall...

A toilet that comes in AM or FM.

Sirius?

what's a radio head?

That was a great game. Izzo is one heckuva coach.

Happy Birthday PEB

'62 was a good year for good peeps...

I'm on disc 1 of night 3 of the residency. I have all 5 nights, and I'll cycle through all of them in the car every now and then.

So, is it "Cahl - uh - PAHR -ee" (rhymes with Italian squid calimari).

or is it "Cal - uh - PAIR - ee" (kinda like a partridge in a pear tree)... ?

We'll need to know that. Not that we'll say it right, mind you. We pronounce the city in the next county "Vur -sales" (Versailles).

Dear Mr. Tweedy (aka "ChooChooChuck"),

Your little ploy has fooled no one here at VC. Obviously this thread was a thinly veiled attempt to gauge popular support for Mr. Sansone as you contemplate who's next on your list of alleged malcontents to fire from the band. Let the record show that the outcry of compassion and support for our beloved Pat has proven to be heartfelt and widespread. We, the people of VC, have spoken, and we shall tolerate no more of this nonsense.

There will be no lineup changes for the foreseeable future. Now go back to the loft and play nice with the other boys.

Sincerely,

tas

Sooie,what's your take on that ... are we being too paranoid?

Lets say he is clean. Only way I can see this is that he tells the high level recruits that if they are one and done that's fine with him? Some schools would shy away from this. I thin
