That shot of Jeff to the left is lovely! Alas, no bathroom photos.

I love mine. Don't feel bad. He pulled that schtick on me at the KC show last fall. That's the way he works. That dude could dance! I kid you not - I'm such a damn girl that, while listening to "Jesus, Etc." today in my car, I started to fucking cry. I miss last weekend and all you people.

I only bought the Sunday paper to see if the Belleville News-Democrat mentioned the triumphant sold-out three-night-stand of its native son (it didn't) and if it had Ben's coupons. However, all the framers at Ben's recognize me and they're nice about giving me a head's up on when they're running specials. I can't think of a better name for any dog than Chunks.

Ben's in Belleville runs 50% off custom frame specials fairly often. I expected to see a coupon for one in Sunday's paper because of Art on the Square. It'll probably be next week. I've had all of my Wilco show prints done there. They do an awesome job and I've never paid more than $70. You're inappropriate in public with new people and jump right in with the pervy euphemisms on the board. Yep, you're one of us. I'm sad that I missed that!

I'm the one who christened you Dr. Dentist. 'bout time you got here!

I don't have a blog.

There are some strict laws about it, but people can donate breast milk. That's all I know about wet nursing-type stuff.

I'm in a public place right now, dammit, and I'm about to cry because otherwise I'd be howling with laughter over this! Oh my cod, I might pass out! I got to see a lot of that and it was fucking hilarious! Meat is one of a kind. No doubt about it.

I requested "Misunderstood" for the first night because I'm a smart ass and thought it's be a great way for Jeff to come home. That, and I love the song. And you planned your bourbon tour with your new girlfriend!

That is the coolest damn thing from the entire weekend, Maggie!

I'll fix it for ya. You were much more diplomatic than I was going to be, which is saying something since you were right by her. I'm keeping track, Allison. For every cool thing you do, I'm buying you a shot of bourbon at some point.

Pineapple bangs! Pineapple bangs! Like me, you obviously had a lot of power at your school, Tam. Bang height = power. Everyone loves power. Everyone loves cake. And everyone loves really really tall bangs. That Facebook photo makes me want to figure out how to use my scanner and post a picture in tall hair solidarity.

I just re-read my blog entry, since Kim couldn't find reference to the dog-whistler. I didn't mention her on the blog at all, but that's where she chose to make her opinions known. They're here (comments #9 and 10), and the offending photo is here. By all means, feel free to express your thoughts to her in the blog comments.

Yep, she commented on my blog. At least I think. It's someone named Tam who reamed me for saying mean things about her on Flickr and in my blog. At first I thought it was our Tam and I couldn't figure out what the hell was happening. I haven't posted the comments on my blog yet (the spam filter caught them), but I'll put them up now. Like I said, I'm not 100% sure, but I can't figure out who else it would be, as that's the only person I said anything negative about.

For some reason my bullshit radar is always broken when you're concerned. In other obnoxious concert-goer news, I have apparently angered the dog-whistler from Friday night by things I said on my blog and Flickr. I'm doing good!

Well, that's the truth, too.

I didn't want to be the one to mention that. As long as I'm not on one of my adventures (there aren't many planned this summer), my home is always open for curly-headed gatherings. I'm good n' central.

Not even a little. I will admit that I'm a bit tired of hearing some of the SBS stuff, since there are some songs I've heard at the six shows I've seen since September. That's just the talk of a spoiled brat, though. I was just fine with the repeats. Listen to "Misundstood" live three nights in a row? Hell yeah!

Not sauerkraut. Pierogies! I think we'd do better with beer. Perhaps Kate and Tam can look into getting perms before then so they'll blend in with us. I've always said that my favorite part about living in the St. Louis area is you can escape in just about any direction and hit another city within five hours. You can do a lot of fun shit with five hours' notice.

Snaggletooth, Hoback Junction, and Laurie. Here's a picture of Snaggletooth, me, and HJ in the john:

Oh Elizabeth! You definitely needed to be there! Kim and I tried to carry on the curly-haired duties, but it's hard to do with 1/3 of the group missing. I knew M Chris and Clouds would get tickets, just because how could two such incredibly sweet people be denied? That was me. I think my husband wants to be adopted by your family. It was on my hard drive because I forgot to upload it. Here it is, along with the group shot that really shows off Lyric. I'll email bigger versions to you so you can print them. I think you have a Nels story you need to share with the gr

Meat: I danced with your through the whole show! Me: No, you danced at me. I played dancing defense. Meat is awesome.

Fixed it for ya. My photos are here. If anyone sees anything they don't want posted, shoot me a PM.

You got some awesome photos, Laurie!

It's been said before, but bears repeating: Wilco peoples is good people. I thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of you, although I'm wishing I could place more faces and names now. Never has three days of line-standing been so much damn fun! I love that while I was peeing, I could tell from the conversation in the bathroom that Laurie, Hoback Jct. and Cathy were in the restroom, and that they had no problems with me yelling, "Hey! Are you Laurie from Boston? I'm Poppydawn!" Nothing like hanging out in the john and gossiping with new internet friends long enough to make everyone wonder
