    I see that Bob Weir (with Dead & Co) is playing not too far away in Cancun and their four day festival - Playing in the Sand - finishes on 20th Jan. That gives him some time to make it down to Sky Blue Sky for a song or two on the last night...too much to hope for?

    Nope (not too much to hope for).

    Geez, it’s all so infuriating. Blatant lies and character suicides. Sometimes it’s all too much, but I believe this too shall pass, and am fervently optimistic that the kids (I.e. my 25 and 17 year old kids as an example) will initiate change for the better. Maybe naive, I’m betting on the future, because this shit has got to stop. F these walking diseased politicians..

     

    oh and happy holidays.

    I bought GA tickets this morning - this festival comes highly recommended from some friends who have gone every year.  $140 for both days is a steal for this type of festival and the terrific line up Shovels and Rope have assembled  - this Platinum Pearl package thing is really ridiculous, however... Have never been to Charleston - gonna make a full week of it and hit up Savannah as well!

    Well done, son.

    Am very new to this site, so bear with me if this is NOT the right place to post this.... I have purchased a Concert Courtyard Gold (whatever that means) double room, and am travelling solo (they don't sell single rooms, so if you go alone you are forced to pay for a second person whether you find a person or not!)  Anyway, just putting this out there:  I'm in charge of payment and the cost to add a roommate goes up next week.  If there's anyone out there looking to go, I have a room in one of the bldgs. that are on the side of the courtyard where Wilco will be playing, though not sure how close to the stage my room/balcony is.  The cost is pretty high, so I'm hoping someone will want to go but just has no one to share room with... I'm female by the way!  

     

    late response - contact the Skybluesky support team. You sound like you’ve booked- they can assist and even provide for late accommodations. I think there’s a escalating clause for name changes and such. Check the https://wilcoskybluesky.com/

    easy peasy.

    I’ve been enjoying the new record a lot, trying not to overplay it as I believe like any great music, the magic is rarely provided immediately. I thought the webcast painted the songs in a really interesting, groovy light.

     

    I’m thankful for anything and everything that gets put out by these guys (including all projects)- thankful they are still releasing new material and thankful I’m around to enjoy it.

     

    That being said, not unlike my children, of course I have favorites.

    These set lists are gangbusters. Hope to make DC on Tuesday, and super excited (can I use that phrase as a 53 year old....yup)

    for tonight’s webcast.

     

    Sadly fall tour does not line up with parent/ work stuff, yet I was able to grab some birthday tickets last night for my boy and his mate. In kind, they sent me some pics from the balcony.

    I screamed I cried I laughed.

    Spread that love, my fam.

    Went last night after having seen many shows since 2004. While, yes, the music was predictably professional, creative and amazing I found the whole experience to be a bit of a characiture of itself. It felt like being in a Disney world exhibit - "wilco: the concert experience." Perhaps it was the all white (albeit one), predominantly male, aging hipster makeup of the audience, an audience whose beards are now slightly more well kempt, whose clothes are slightly more expensive, whose lives are, one could imagine, more stable than than years gone by. My girlfriend helped elucidate how very Male the energy was in the place and it didnt help being surrounded by drunk bros having love fests with themselves in scenes that snl would have been hard put to improve.Or maybe it was the balding late thirties man in a plaid button down pogoing in the front row as if this was lounge ax c. 2000. I felt bad for the band having to play. For jeff standing in as a substitute for the chaos and creativity and defiance we subdue. But of course jeff himself has softened and calmed over time himself. Likely it was all my projections and personal losses and I sound like just another schmuck pining for the glory days when things felt edgier and hope could be scraped out of three hours with a band I adored.

    . Hmmmmm......never mind. I’ll save energy for spreading love.
