HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!! 32 is good. Heck, they're all good... once you get past 29.

Two great, creative, re-inventing kinds of bands, yes. But no, I don't hear the influence. I always thought of Radiohead as a kind of Pink Floyd for the next generation. I don't see Wilco as that at all.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

List of political and geographic subdivisions by total area from 50,000 to 100,000 km

Which means that there were 21 people who did not have YHF anywhere on their list? Oh, my.

Thanks!!!! What a great list... So it looks like 58 people sent you a list, and there were a total of 563 different albums on those lists??? Wow. Further commentary will be provided, I'm sure...

The giveaway for the Indy show was three black music stands on the side of the stage near Pat's area. One of them had a little sticker on the back side of it that said "TRUMPET".

At the Indy show, someone made a remark (and Jeff mentioned it from the stage) that they ought to play Comment and that would get rid of all the gnats that were swarming all around. Or something like that. Jeff didn't seem amused.

I saw you guys. Your 2 YO was having a better time than the 2 YO in the 4th row next to me. He kinda lost it as the main set was winding down. Your little guy seemed to be lovin it. Yes, badu2fan, I think Wilco generally allows small camera's, and this venue didn't seem to have issues with it. I put some pics up on the web here. Some better than others... (ed: not as nice as Keith's...) I talked to the taper on Pat's side in about row 6 or 7. He said he'd post here on the board when he has it. Happening, sorry I missed meeting you. Next time. I'm ready to do it all over again!

At 5:30 AM today in Indy, there was this enormous clap of thunder & lightning and it poured down all morning. It was pretty sweet that it didn't show up 8 hours earlier... no rain on teh Wilcos! (Well, except for Alaska...) Yeah, I wondered about that, too. I had heard a rumor that there was going to be one for last night, but all I saw was the tour poster.

Thanks Ditty. It was a splendid show. My first hoodoo voodoo. Plenty of gnats, but no Nudies. ("Put away. On ice.") Yes, we nailed the clapping on Spiders. ("Better than our hometown...") Great banter. Jeff was in good form. ("Keep drinking, sir.") There was one taper, and he said he'd post on etree and here. Got to meet Wendy and Miss Jayne and a couple others... and always good to see MB again. Couple pics attached... it's past my bedtime and I have to drive home early and go to work tomorrow (ignoring Jeff's advice that we should all quit work.) Good nite all...

That thought had crossed my mind, Johnny... Thanks everybody. Yes, I just got back from Radiohead. Great show. Heard a couple faves I didn't expect (How to Disappear Completely, Climbing the Walls, and Fade Out as a closer). I'll look for you guys tomorrow. Vince

haven't heard anything yet here.. I'll be in the 4th row on the Pat/John side. Where are you at? MB, where are you and Poca for this?

I am highly optimistic that they make it at least as far south as Indy tomorrow...

I'm not really buying the butter-churning thing.

He folds the shirts, mows the lawn, AND he sews.... Sue has trained him well

I just hope those suits get dry cleaned in time for Monday night!

John's suit looks like an ad for Old Spice

Best Dressed Band in America....

Happy Birthday Kate.

Looks like ticketmaster just released some choice seats for this show...

Yes, I'm driving up for both. Kind of an end-of-summer R&R for me... Any plans for a VC meet up on Monday?

I did and I do. Nicely done. It works. Vince

Gutsy post, Kevin. A lot of people never get to the point that you're at of really knowing who they are and getting OK with that. Looks like you're one of the few who does. Hey, maybe people like that kind of person even more than an extrovert... you know - honest, sincere, real... all those things that actually matter. Peace, Vince

I have given this several spins, and I like it a lot. I also thought it was going to be a grower at first, but it didn't take long.
