Shake it off... hey, that might be a good name for a song or something.

I'm driving up from Lexington for this and would also love to meet up. Johnny said he's a "maybe" as well, and he was going to check with some folks in LVL for a recommendation. Does anybody have a favorite place in that part of town? Vince

gee thanks. I was perfectly happy in my little non-conspiracy-theory naive world thinking that our planet was just a bazillion points of light. Now I suppose I have to worry about big brother photoshopping New Mexcio or Guyana or who-know-what. sigh.

I think this came from the Nasa website... love this one!

Assuming the Canadian Post Office comes through, I plan to be there as well.... (Thanks again, Sarchi.)

Maxwell had a silver hammer, not golden. Or am I in the wrong thread?

As did Mother Superior.

Those are great John. Thanks for letting us know where we can check those out, too. You're like all famous and stuff if you're at Alfalfa's... it's kinda like being on Leno... but not really.... well, sorta.....

Wilcoworld home page has a link for "NOW ACCEPTING REQUESTS FOR MILLENNIUM PARK" which goes to an online form for requests for the show.... should be interesting.

Best: Iroquois Amphitheatre--Louisville KY +1 on Iroquois. Great venue for these guys.

I thought everyone on VC hated Candyfloss? You're gonna get mail, you know. Mine : Your pillow wept You covered your eyes And you finally slept While the sun caught fire You've changed (if that's not a picture of a night we can all relate to, I don't know what is...)

That is waaaaaayyyyy too much brainwork for something that was originally billed as "obscure thoughts and musings".

Inconceivable.

Of the 6 studio Wilco albums, 3 have a song with the word "love" / "loves" in the title (AM, ST, YHF) All 6 have at least one song with the word "love" / "loves" somewhere in the lyrics 1 has a song with the word "hate" in the title (SBS)

If you go with the one full carry-on, plan to end up with two bags on the way back. It just works that way. Your stuff isn't packed as neatly, and you buy stuff wherever you go. So if you take one of those little duffel bags that fold up and collapse real tiny with you, then you can put all your dirty clothes and stuff in that on the way back and check it. You can put your important stuff & whatever you bought in the carry on without it getting all overstuffed. And you can always just buy a little duffel in LA or wherever you're going too. But stuff swells.... I've been in China for

This is all pretty confusing. Presales for the presales? The Counting Crows / etc show at Slugger field on Aug 3 is general admission. They have two kinds of GA tickets, one for the field and one for the seats. This is not good. But the website for Production Simple (whoever they are) says reserved seating. Dunno. If it really is GA, then that would explain why it really doesn't matter who has the first presale. Outdoor GA is just not my thing any more.... Anybody know for sure?

We clearly need a "Changing a light bulb is the activity that ..." thread, too.

I am appalled by the disrespect you people have for light bulbs. Have you all thought about how the light bulbs must feel about all of this? It's a disgrace, and I shall have no part in it, I tell you.

Interesting opinions on Thief. For me, it didn't hold up well except a few tracks. I really liked it when it came out but I don't listen to it much any more. But Eraser was a real grower for me. Once I made myself listen to it a dozen times I started liking it a lot, and a lot more than Thief. Still do. Anxiously awaiting the new one, but expecting it to be a grower too.

that worked.... thanks. any ideas on "paste" not working? is there a size limit or anything?

... has a name which almost translates into a trendy clothing store in a mall in China.

I'm having trouble getting an image into a post on just a fan. paste does not work for me as I'm entering the post, but the image is in the clipboard when I do a paste to other applications. paste works for text, but not an image. I tried the insert image button as well; I have the image on picasa, but get a "Sorry, dynamic pages in the tags are not allowed" message when I use that URL and try to preview the post. any suggestions? thanks...

+1 Do these guys ever play the same place twice? I saw the Palace show a couple years ago and then the Iroquois show last year. Now the ballpark... must be Venue ADHD. So I guess that if they're "upgrading" to bigger places, I suppose my faint hope of a Lexington show at the Singletary center can be officially snuffed out at this point. Alas. Just have to keep making the Louisville / Cinci / Nashville road trips.
