Well okay now! Chicago fans should be happy. And that's so sweet of Wilco to schedule this on my birthday!

Avoiding Live Nation venues is sorta hard to do anymore. hey, is this wishful thinking or a tip?

Please excuse me, I was being sarcastic.

Yeah, I guess. No one in Chicago would drive to Otto's to see Wilco. But seriously, this was just the first place I saw Wilco and I miss those days.

Otto's in DeKalb?

Love Roseanne Cash. Looking forward to this release as I do all her releases, and to hopefully see her in concert whenever she tours for this new album. I had tix for her last tour but it was cancelled due to her brain surgery, so this is a wonderful turn-around of events since then. And to have a Tweedy offering be part of it is icing on the cake.

What happened when you tried that?

I've been away from VC for a week on vacation, and come home to this great new info!!! Hurry up October!

I think dafont.com has made me a font nerd. There's some amazing things there! And some of the names crack me up ... like this one: "Little Lord Fontleroy"

It's called "Moderne Fraktur" - I found this in the thread where the album cover was first discussed.

No, I think you're misreading it. It thanked people who have already bought it. Then it addresses those who have not bought it yet, and asked them to consider buying it now (as opposed to later down the road) in the hopes of showing a good first week of sales. Nowhere do they say to buy multiple copies. Well, here's what they said:

I think little is to be gained by allowing this arguing and name-calling to continue. And by little I mean nothing at all, because PB808 isn't interested in any view but his own.

Hey Tracey! Actually, I think Brianne posted it in our giant list of reviews in this thread here: http://forums.viachicago.org/topic/40107-published-wilco-the-album-articles-and-reviews/ Boy is it a well-written article/interview, a joy to read, so everyone should read it! However, I'll lock this thread to keep comments in the same place.

Wilco came to San Diego for the Sky Blue Sky tour. Did you sell out that show? Since they did not stop in San Diego on the Summer Tour 2009, now you need to wait for Fall Tour 2009 to be announced. Or Winter Tour 2010. Or Spring Tour 2010. Or Summer Tour 2010. Or Fall Tour 2010. Of Winter Tour 2011. Etcetera. While you patiently wait for your city's name to turn up on a future Wilco tour roster, I highly recommend Alejandro Escovedo at The Anthology on Tues. July 14th. One of the greats.

Okay, so of course I'm going to the benefit show! It really wasn't that hard of a choice. Who else is in? It's in 5 weeks and this thread sank to page 4 pretty fast. I guess there's been a bit of Wilco-related activity of late.

(merging a couple similar threads here)

I'm thinking it's time to bail ... I'm in the middle of Weeds Season 4 and that is more fun than listening to dead air! Be good ya'll! Drive safely! Don't forget to pray for the show to be shared in perfect audio quality in the Roadcase (hey, it could happen, right?)

Mine's gone too. Ugh.

LUCKY!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure if it was within their power, the Wilco technical peeps would be fixing it. So there must be a weak signal or something. Well, maybe one of them will drop by and give us the lowdown. They have done so on a few occasions in the past. It's just constantly dropping in and out, and then totally stops. Darn. But it does re-connect quickly for me at least. Then repeats.

There's been a few times when Walken gets played where I think. "Damn, we could have heard some song other than Walken here."

Niiiiiiice Handshake Drugs!

Wow Alex! Glad to be here with you on your first live Wilco experience! These webcasts have a hit-or-miss quality report card. But I'm still hanging in there tonight too. Hope you get to be there in person someday soon!

Jeff: He doesn't know where he's at, does he? He thinks he's at a Don Henley concert! Froggie? Is that you??????????

Woah. Radio Cure is awesome in my headset tonight. ... and it just dropped out again. Oh, so damn sad!
