    Lawrence tickets

    i can't find where to buy tix for this show in lawrence. also, please let me know where you are going to be standing so i can scream in your ear.
  2. i just got dish network installed last week. primarily b/c of the big ten network (which is also on directv). i am super happy with it. picture quality beats cable. and, i got a free high def dvr that has a 500 gig hard drive. and, it also works for two other tvs in my house. so, 1 unit controls 3 tvs. as far as getting out of your deal? you have a 30 day "buyers remorse". so, if you call w/in 30 days of install and tell them to yank their hardware, you are OK.
  3. i just watched a special about the rolling stones on tv. i think they said the stones have 265 crew members that go on the road with them. that blew my mind.
  4. just a head's up... converting a divx or xvid or whatever you have in a .avi to dvd format will take a long, long, LONG time. typically overnight'ish. just go out and get a divx capable dvd player. then you can burn the .avi straight onto a dvd-r and then fit lots more on there.
  5. hi jhamm, do these dvd's contain just a video_ts folder? me stupeed dvd player must also have an audio_ts folder (even if it's empty). just curious. i'll prolly just find a divx d/l anyways. thanks.
  6. hey, i think that wilco has been on acl 3 times now. first one was in 99'ish maybe. (edit: yes, they were on 3 times, first in 08/99. and, also yes, the show from 2004 can be had very easily through one of your favorite torrent sites... i just checked.) and, also, that cover is AWESOME. i'm a high school teacher, and, if i am correct and this was done in a hs gym... i would have been very proud of it being done at my school. good for you! you are a hero to me!!
  7. This is a good read I just read that "emo" has the most definitions on urbandictionary. Over a thousand. Hard to define, or highly subjective term i guess.
  8. emo is kinda like punk. think "my chemical romance". i have always thought it was short for "emotional", but i don't know if that's right. and, i don't know if one of the actual band members from "a blaze we fall" posted that, but, if they really do spell it like that... that's easy pickens for trash talk. it should read "ablaze we fall".
  9. it's pretty simple... if you are using rabbit ears, you are more than likely recieving digital signals (in addition to analog). new and newer tv sets have a digital tuner built in, however as was with my old tv, some don't and you have to get a digital box (similiar to a cable box, but for off the air signals). once you have that box, you can watch digital stations on your tv. what's your zip code? use your zip and/or address to find out how far broadcasts are from you. if you are in the greater KC area, you should be OK. but, if you already recieve off the air analog, you sh
  10. "Our local PBS station only showed it on the digital channel, and we're still gettin our waves thru the ole antenna." your "off the air" broadcast should be digital. you will just need to invest in a digital off-air tuner. the gov'ment will be issuing 40 dollars to ppl who need them when the analoag broadcasts go "bye-bye". i btw, have a digital off-air tuner that i no longer need. i don't know where you are in KS, but I am in parkville, mo. and, you can use antennaweb.org to see what digital broadcasts you get. here's impossible germany from ACL http://www.aquariumdr
  11. 3-speed, you do realize that reading messages on the internet is highly subjective, not unlike emails. that is, you can't trust your initial instincts of the tone... if we were having this debate/discussion in person, over beers or whatnot, you would see that i would have a smile on my face, and not a derisive one. my argument is that i go to hear the band. simple enough. and, yeah, i've agreed that the singing along and hootin' and hollerin' during songs is a way to show appreciation, and i fully support it... to a certain level... it is HIGHLY possible to sing along and show a
  12. didn't wilco just play recently in chicago? small place?
  13. shoot. that is so 'disheartening' for me. i wish sampson would follow the rules. i hope the hoosiers do well. thanks for the link. but, that is a PERFECT example of why i get irratated by ppl singing at a concert. com'on. you can't hardly hear tweedy during the beginning of that clip. even the caption mentions it! ppl don't pay to hear the crowd sing... or talk for that matter. they come to hear the band. also, i just talked to my buddy who opened for wilco last year and he agrees with me. there's a 'fine line'... it's nice to see the crowd "into it", but, jeesh, don't over
  14. "Though it must kind of suck to be a Hoosier fan right now." wha? we are pre-season #9'ish for bball. and, the football team is doing better than it has in 10 years or so. r u talking about knight being gone? if so, i was bummed at first, but now i am OK w/ it. he's a dick. and, for powerplant? i have HEARD that there is a new brewer and things have gotten better. but, i won't even begin with my first experience there a couple years ago. awful. i forgot, there is a good thing about zona rosa. the majestic. improv and a movie theater w/ booze. and yes, m. christ
