Skip the Safe House. If coming from the south, hit Koz's Mini Bowl for a drink
Are you talking about the bar with the mini bowling alley at 7th and Becher?
I would say that if you're going to eat Mexican in the "Latin Quarter," you might as well drive/walk the extra block to La Fuente.
-
The Safe House is hidden in an alley right across the street from the Pabst. You won't know it's there just by looking for it from the street...but you'll know you're there if you happen upon the entrance to "International Exports Ltd."
-
I've seen evidence commensurate to say that those at the Pabst are a standing crowd.
-
Of course no trip to Milwaukee would be complete without a trip to the Safe House either.
Probably the perfect pre/post-show gathering place. It's right across the street, for pete's sake!
That's why I brought it up, anyway...
-
That's all I have to say.
-
I wonder if MusicToday uses some sort of selector to decide who gets tickets.
I mean, seriously, it seems so random that a ton of us that were there at 10:00:00 weren't even shown the possibility of an open seat.
Whatever.

Row C (6th row) for the second night in Milwaukee
not fair!
-
Fuck this, I'll just hope that the Pabst's pre-sale will turn some shet up.
-
yeah, wtf?
'not enough tickets...'
-
sigh...I love them too.
Really, how are we to answer such a question as "who is the most important band in America?"
For instance, how does the 'importance' of, say, Animal Collective (who are great, obviously) impose itself upon musicians of other genres? When you think about their influence, it just doesn't transcend the niche that they've created. Their ideas haven't gained widespread traction like those of the Beatles or Kraftwerk, etc. I think saying that a band as original as Animal Collective doesn't have a large sphere of influence is demonstrative of the fact that American music has kind of stagnated. There just isn't anything that important out there these days.
I'm sure someone is going to tell me I'm wrong.

Sweet. I will see y'all for both nights in Milwaukee. I'd be up for the Safe House pre-game...but if it's a GA show, I'll be in line!
I think we can figure out a system such that we rotate in and out...or we can just drag some less- social friends along to be our line-holders.
-
HELL, and let me also add, YES!
I have never, ever read about or attended a show at the Pabst that was GA...until I looked around at the Pabst's webpage. I don't know whether to hope for GA or for reserved seats...
Haha...every show i've ever been to at the Pabst has been GA. So there ya go.
(I'm really hoping it's GA, but I somehow sense that it won't be that way...
)Someone's going to have to show me where the secret passageway is at the SH. I've been there twice with no luck in finding it, although I did have to do the "I'm a little teapot" dance the last time...
p.s. In light of my teapot-dancing, Safe House virgins won't be hearing the password from me. I would hope that the rest of us VCers who've been there before won't give it away, either...
-
I might be over excited about it...to think of Wilco layin' it on thick (two nights!!!! I still can't get over it. This is Milwaukee, dammit!) in a beautiful theater with awesome acoustics makes me
.I think it would be fun to get some people together at the Safe House beforehand (either night...or both), no?
-
YAAAAAYYYYY!
It is SOOOOO bitchin' that they're playing two at the Pabst. PARTYTIME!
:banana :banana :banana :banana (it's peanut butter jelly time!)
-
I'm trying to get the show...is there a different link for your copy? Any help would be appreciated! I'm not very familiar with the whole process.
I'm pretty sure that the link posted earlier in this thread is the only way to get a recording of the show via download. If you need help with the torrent process, just pm me and I'll try to walk you through it.

"Say hi to your family!"
I was surprised at how at-ease Jeff was. This was my first solo show, so I didn't really know what to expect (aside from some kick-ass music, but isn't that a given?).
It excited me to almost no end (geekin' out in the balcony!) that he played so many of my favorites...Muzzle of Bees, the Ruling Class, Remember the Mountain Bed. It was definitely a special night for me.
BTW...best pizza I've ever had was at Papa Del's. MMMMMMMM!
Did anyone else go there?
(edit) So, it looks like my copy of the show completed before the seeder buggered out. I'll leave my BT client open so that y'all can finish yours.

I think I see more of a criticism of Son Volt in what he wrote...
Mr. Farrar meanwhile, seemed an increasingly whiny and bitter presence. All the more reason to stick by him, say I. With his band -
Whether or not you have tickets to his show, one thing's for sure: we're going to blow that Wilco front man out of the water.
Given that they (in all likelihood) won't live up to such a claim, I thought it appropriate to go just as a delegation from our side to formally censure them for such a wild untruth.
-
Apparently there's a "Jeff Tweedy post-show" at the Canopy Club in Urbana...
-
My bf's friend bought the tickets, but I have no idea where we'll be seated.
Are there any meetups happening during the before-show hours? Just curious...

My French teacher last year always told us that there was a hierarchy of awesomeness when it came to Coca-cola. McDonald's was always the best, followed by Burger King, then the bottled stuff, and so on.
I can't say I love any of the mass-marketed sodas, but I've been drinking a lot of Sprite at work these days. I think I like the relative cleanliness of its flavor.
My favorite soda, though, has to be the Sprecher cream soda. It's heaven in a bottle. It's so honey-vanilla-y and yummmmyyyyyyyyyyyy...
-
Location on this?
Haha, I was just going to ask that!
Wanna go together?
Hmmm...resolutions...
- (like Kim) develop better study/time management habits. I totally pissed away last semester.
- pay off my credit card
- start practicing yoga again
- cook more meals at home
- NO parking tickets!
- get a backbone...I'm the least assertive person on Earth
- ride my bike(!) or take the bus more often, drive less
- build up my vinyl collection
- get off the damn computer
- unload 30% of the crap I have (rummage sale time!)
etc.

As for my favorites:
: A trip to the Black Hills in South Dakota where I blew my transmission and got stranded for a week during Sturgis.
You've done that too, eh? That happened to me twice (in different vehicles) while on family roadtrips in SD, but only once in the Sturgis area.
I could think of less desirable places in which to be stranded. At least there's enough to look at in the Black Hills...
My favorite trip was in December 2003/January 2004:
SE Wisconsin through Iowa, Nebraska and southern Wyoming to the Wasatch Mountains in Utah for a week of skiing, then south through Utah to Zion NP and Glen Canyon NRA/Page, AZ, east to the Four Corners monument (which we broke into after hours to take pictures of ourselves standing in four states at one time) and Cortez, CO (where I spent NYE hanging out with random people at our hotel) and Mesa Verde NP (where I got my first Junior Ranger badge), then finally through the rest of Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois.
It was a looooong trip, but it was really the only one during which there wasn't any bickering or fighting between the five of us. The skiing was incredible, and the views at the parks were still impeccable, even in the dead of winter. The best part was that we came back a few days late from winter break, and the first day that we were supposed to be in school was a snow day.
I'd love to do it again.

Britney Spears - "I'm Not a Girl"
I have cringed (every time!) at first cognition of this song for eight years. I wish it would disappear.

Tuesday night, left side on floor level-- Row L seats 5/6. Can't complain!
I'm trying for better than 2nd balcony seats for the Wednesday show tomorrow.
