Magnetized

I agree with everything you said. It's so baffling to me why we're still a relatively small number of people, but I've come to accept that Jeff either resonates with you or he doesn't. If he doesn't, you're never going to get it. If you connect with his songs and his voice on some soul level, though, you're never going to get over it.

Road trip to Asheville for me. But yikes, it's over 6 hours! Anyone from my general direction (Norfolk, VA) or along the way want to come along?

Fuckin' A!

Well, it so happens I completely agree. In fact, if I may share a specific recommendation, listen late at night when you've just gone to bed but are not too sleepy, hit the bong a couple of times and just lay back and listen fairly loud, in the dark.

Or not quite enough. But that's OK, a good Wilco tease is welcome any day!

Not to me. Spill, redjim!

Unreal show tonight. I couldn't keep from thinking how proud they must be to pull that off and how lucky we are to be around to see such a fantastic band at the peak of their powers.

That is so cool to know you met Henry! He has seemed like a really good guy from my few interactions with him while we were putting this t-shirt thing together. I'm glad it has worked out to benefit the fight against the anti-immigration movement.

Joe, if all goes according to plan (and when does it ever, really?) Sandy and I are planning to go over to the Clark for a couple of hours on Thursday, then head over to Mass MoCA to check out the exhibits before closing time. Let's stay in touch.

This is what I call the anticipatory post-concert blues.

Diane here, all packed and ready to go. I can barely contain my excitement! For those of you who bought the "We're all in this together...." t-shirts, remember that there will be a group photo on Saturday morning at 10:30 under the WILCO sign in the grassy area. We tried to schedule this at a time when no other activities were going on, so I hope to meet many of you face to face there. There will also be a big banner with a bubble theme for any VC or Facebook members to sign. We know the banner will be at the photo shoot but I'm not sure where else you will find it during the festival. Ju

The fat lady sings, but you're such a good talker.

Bravo, eckythump! That was well worth the wait. I'm looking forward to meeting you in person next week at "the happiest place on earth."

Yeah, come on people. I've been waiting all day for a report from this show!

I love how Jeff drops in a sly political reference like this and doesn't check in to make sure the audience gets it. I wonder how many in the crowd had watched the cringeworthy cabinet meeting.

When you lie down with dogs...but I promise we're just friends

Ooh, I hope you're right. I also hope that Tweedy the Elder might favor us with a sampling from Together Again.

They all sounded great last night. That seemed to be a very different arrangement of I'm Always in Love,especially at the beginning. And then to come back and just crush it with Monday > Outtasite. Wow! There was a bit of a standing/sitting dilemma for almost the whole first half of the show, but the majority of the crowd finally got to their feet and stayed there after Impossible Germany. I feel like the boys gave it a little extra oomph last night to get those sitters off their asses and into the show!

From your mouth to God's ear!

Damn it, Tim, I'm so bummed you won't be there. Maybe when we get the group picture taken we'll send it to you and you can photoshop yourself in so you can "virtually" be there!

A while back I posted in here about the option to buy t-shirts like the ones Jeff Tweedy has been wearing lately; they say "We're all in this together. except Trump. he's a dick." There are at least three groups of people (with lots of overlap) with members who are going to Solid Sound this year and we're trying to get a consensus on which day of the festival would be best to all wear our shirts for maximum impact. So the poll below has been created and shared to Via Chicago, the Facebook group Solid Sound Fest 2017, and the Facebook group A Shot in the Arm: the Wilco Fan group. If you plan

I went to one of these things in Norfolk, VA around the time of the Star Wars release, and it happened to be a night when there was a big hurricane watch so the brewery was practically deserted. My friend and I were the only entrants into the giveaways and I ended up with a special edition vinyl Star Wars signed by everyone in the band + 2 tickets to the show at the Norva. Of course I already had the album and show tickets, but I was able to share the wealth.

The Shins tonight. I was faced with the rare dilemma (in lil ol' Norfolk, VA) of having to choose between 2 shows: The Shins and Todd Rundgren. I made my decision based on ticket price and how close the venue is to my house.

Kris Kristofferson tonight.
