  1. I mean like I just scored 3rd row and 8th row, hope people see this fast
  2. You can buy tickets right now (Thursday) at AXS using the password FRONTROW A freind of mine just scored me great seats for Tuesday night, the password came from a email signup from Ace Hotel good luck! Henry
  3. I was wondering if there is really any way to do ticket sales these days without scalpers winning? I was thinking back to when the Dead did mail order for tickets. one of the biggest let downs of my life was sending a personal check from my mom for tickets to the premiere of Blues for Allah at the Capitol theater (tickets were printed on silver foil), I got a letter back saying sorry, money orders only and my best friend got seats! Oh well. Henry
  4. Thanks, I boxed boxed out of the presale, clicked several hundred times, once in awhile it seemed like it was going to load a pair, but never happened. so, if anyone has extra tickets for any of the LA shows I would love the opportunity to buy them. Thanks, Henry
  5. I am usually pretty lucky on getting tickets, but I got totally boxed out. A friend scored two for thurs, so I guess that means they were available. With that said, I would love two for any night in Los Angeles if someone winds up with extras or cannot go! Thanks all! Henry
  6. I was at a toddler class today and this boy had on what sure as heck looks like a wilco shirt. I stared and stared and asked his mom who said it was a gift from a friend that she got over seas and it is in Farsi and cant remember what it says? Can that be true? I have such a hard time believing it? But the mom was quite specific about when and where she got the shirt?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I was lucky enough to be in the pit and thought the new material was great. It was the happiest I Have ever seen Jeff in the LA area, he smiled almost the whole night (sort of). The acoustic encore was fantastic and again he was beeming. So glad to hear "Its Just That Simple". I have seen the band since YHF tour and found them so comfortable, relaxed, grooving, a very enjoyable evening for sure! Ive seen a lot of impossible germanies, but that one was something
  8. what a ride? After gathering all the info I could find to make sure I was ready to pull the trigger I get to a coffee shop with just enough time before I have to go to work. My laptop refuses to boot I call a friend and ask him to drop off his laptop (it is now 9:45 am PST) His laptop refuses to boot I revert to my iphone being the only source for attempting to get tickets, I log in, I get sent to the presale I select 4 seats in GA and the wheel spins for about twn minutes. Meanwhile my ace in the hole who was also trying to get tickets texts me and says he has 2 in GA for me. Th
  9. Anyone have an idea on how i can obtain tickets during the presale for the LA Greek show that go onsale this wednesday? I will be at work and not sure if i can even get to my phone at 10am, i have also had only bad experiences with presales for any show, particularly Los Angeles. I sure would like to be there in the GA. If anyone has ideas on how to increase my odds, i would love to hear them. Thanks, Henry
  10. I tried to get tickets this morning at the presale, seems it was like most other presales. There was one moment I had a ticket in my cart, but then I tried to get another one and the first one disappeared. Boo hoo. Anyway, if for some reason anyone has tickets to either 3/21 or 3/22 Tweedy in Los Angeles, I would love the opportunity to buy them. Thanks henry
  11. I worked on a TV show called Bad Teacher based on the Cameron Diaz movie. There is no scheduled air date as of yet, but wanted to post in advance that in Episode 4 there are a number of Wilco jokes. It seemed asn odd choice, but none the less, some are pretty funny and as the DP was one of the cameramen on the "I am trying to break your heart" documentary and I am a die hard fan, it was very fub to see Wilco used in this way. I will keep you posted about air dates, but just remember you heard it heere first! Henry
  12. Good news, the people at Largo are responsible. I sent them a letter with my expereinces and they called me up and sold me two tickets over the phone for the show I wanted, with a smail and an apology on their face. Good luck! H
  13. My wife went by LaughStub and they said they had no control over the fact that it was a ticketing fiasco, that there site crashed and Largo is responsible for ticketing issues. Largo is very illusive to reach with only a voice mail for contact purposes, I highly recommend everyone call them and complain as it is really not fair what happened and they are the responsible party. Henry
  14. I did my homework I had everything ready I logged in at 10:00 I put two in the basket it went to the payment page and I told my wife, "we got 'em" Then spent the next 30 minutes trying to reload, different browsers, different computers, calling my friends, etc. No one I know got tickets and I made screen shots of the fact that I had them in my "cart"!!!! Its one thing to miss out on say Bruce Springsteen at the LA Forum, but when you ready feel you've done everything right for a solo Tweedy show in your home town and then it is "sold out", well, that pretty frustrating. Needless to say
  15. I was intrigued by the use of a shepard tone in Born to be Alone, so I wrote a short blog piece on it. No one reads my blog, but I thought it might be of interest here: http://www.interactivehank.com/blog/?p=862
  16. Strange but true. I was one of the winners of the 2008 photo contest, but the first show I was able to see was last week at the Hollywood Bowl. Since the contest ended the website been redone and the contact person I had at Wilco have all changed. I was able to get tickets to the show from HQ, but I would also like to pick up a show poster as that was one of the offerrings. As I remember it was 2 tickets, a show poster and a tee shirt. They will send me a poster, but it would help if I had some sort of documentation that this was indeed part of the prize. I looked through a lot o
  17. I was so amazed and encouresged to read the issue of cheating being discovered. When I submitted my photo I was immidiately discouraged as I saw many photos surging to the top of votes and just forgot abou tthe whole thing as it seemed to be only a matter of who could "gather" the most votes by hook or by crook. Then the wife textds me the other day to say I better check in with the results because I cam ein third place, wow, that was a shock. I literally stopped looking. Thansk to HQ for figuring that one out!
  18. I purchased the the Geneva, Ill show today and listen to it full volume and all I can say is thanks! http://wilco.kungfustore.com/category/491-roadcase/product/3728-july-8-2012-geneva-il-wilr02 Love that setlist, the mastering a fantastic, (though at times I felt I would have welcomed more audience presence). I am curious how deep will this concept go? Will be soon be able to download mastered version of the news years even garden shows? H
