That was Jody Stephens, Big Star's drummer. He's played with Jeff in Golden Smog and usually joins Wilco onstage when they hit Memphis. The other guy onstage with them that night was Liam Finn. Was a great show!

oh ok thanks for clearing that up. I'm sure my brother explained this all to me at some point during the show.

Yes Liam Finn rocked my face off. Great Great Live show. I didn't mean strange in a bad way, there were just strange vibes and such in the room.

If I'm not mistaken, I saw them sit in at the last Memphis Wilco show. That show was so strange that I wasn't sure what all I saw. Have been meaning to look into them but never got around to it.

Sorry you guys are so heartbroken. Must have been a great man and musician.

I want everyone to know that the people that did not buy our 3 extra tickets really missed out. The Mezzanine level had to be the best level for this show. We could see the nerds on the floor and were at the perfect level to see the band. The fans on the Mezzanine level were awesome! I mean really, the people on the floor were a sight to see. Not just those two rows but the entire floor level was pitiful and entertaining all at once.The opening act was definitely on the "wow" list. Not something I would by to listen to in my car or on my iPod, but to see live, oh yes! After seeing several times, I got to see some "Jeff Banter." I have never been a big fan of Jeff's Banter and I have believed it to be rude at times. He may have gone a little over the top but he got his point across. Saturday night was great!

I have 2 tickets in the Mezzanine level.

Our group has 2 tix that we need to get rid of. Some losers backed out.

edit: they are in the mezzanine level.

It sure took a lot of nerve for me to open this thread. I just don't think I can click the link...I just can't.

It looks great. Going to take some getting used to. I do fully appreciate your hard work to enable me to sit on my ass all day.

I am really being genuine in case you can't tell. YAY!

this= understatement.

 

if these guys were sharks, and the audience was chum, it equates to a frenzy of sweat, broken strings, and pure energy

so I am assuming that you can sing and dance along without annoying the band and the audience?

There is no rule stating that you cannot sing at a concert. If you want to hear the band and just the band, then sit at home and watch the DVD or listen to the CD. Concerts are social events. You know that there is going to be singing and dancing. If there weren't then why would anyone want to go to a concert that you have to sit in your seat and be quite as though you were at a movie theatre. This is the only thing that has annoyed me at Wilco shows-being afraid that someone is going to get mad at me for singing along with the band. People like to have fun at concerts and bands like to see their fans having fun. If you wanna stand in a group of limp dicks then go somewhere besides a concert.

those are great pictures FHF!

yaya!!

:dancing

Hope you are hazzing a wunnerrful day!

anything?

This is last year, but in it you can see my brother and his entire family after the l-tryptophan Kool-Aid.

I was hoping you would post that picture!! I love it!

We didn't take any family pictures, but here is one that Lyric is going to kill me for when she gets older.

"wishful thinking"

I will just leave it.

I use Photobucket and Snapfish. Both sites are free and You can order prints off of both.

Snapfish always has specials on prints for really cheap. Like right now they have photocards for the holidays for 1 cent a piece.

Thank you VC for all of the Birthday wishes!!

You guys are the best!

I had a great weekend!!!Perfect!

Happy Birthday from lil sooie and me!

We love us some crazy auntie gogo!!

At the risk of sounding insensitive, I think this is being a little overplayed. Obviously the medium is different, but all sorts of people threaten to kill themselves and not many people take that seriously. I don't think I would have been in the room calling that guy a faggot or telling him to go through with it, but I can name at least fifteen kids from my high school class that likely would have. And I am almost certain that even I wouldn't have believed he was really going to do it until it was too late. I know none of that makes it less awful, but I don't think it is particularly any more awful than any kid that commits suicide. In my opinion, the time and ink spent on this story would have been better served discussing troop suicides.

how did the world get to this point? When did you ever think that a public teen suicide would not be "that big of a deal"?

what the fuck.

I like the Gordon Biersch slogan.

"never trust a skinny brewer"

Same here... I'm a hophead to the extreme. Those are great IPAs.

 

another yummy beer:

 

People drink this shit for enjoyment?!?

Although I did have dinner at the Sierra Nevada brewery in Chico. The food was very good. I also did the beer sampler thing. Don't remember which was best. I'm sure Bigfoot was worst though.

she is pretty durable.

Fell off of the couch yesterday head first. I'm a horrible mother.

Move to upstate New York. HUGE nurse shortage up here.

I hear you are a really good babysitter...

Fucking Veteran's day. It is unpossible to be productive on Veteran's day.

For some reason I still have to go to class though.
