We got early birds for the whole family...can't wait for our third year! So excited to head back to MassMoCA!

Swoon!

Well, that's stuck in my head now.

First time I've ever been able to get anything through presale! Four tix, row M center in the Pavillion at Merriweather Post. Too old for the lawn, too old for the floor

I noticed the show in Columbia, Maryland at Merriweather Post Pavilion has a WRNR presale on Thursday, 7/14 from 9-10 am. Thought I'd give it a shot if Wednesday Frontgate presale doesn't pan out for me. But I can't find anything on the WRNR website that tells how to do the presale. Any DC/Maryland people out there in VC world that know what the deal is with this???

I think you can do it through the Merriweather Post Pavillion website on July 14 at 10:00a -- password is Chicago. Good luck!

No, they weren't surprisingly easy to get, as I didn't get them. Even at 10am couldn't get them (not 10:01, exactly 10).

So sorry -- I was giddy. Honestly, that was the easiest time I've ever had. Hope something opens up for you!

Regular tickets for DC through ticketmaster this morning seemed surprisingly easy to get -- after failing at both presales, I'd sort of given up hope. Now I'm about 53 kinds of happy

I got a ticket! I feel like I just got a golden ticket for Willy Wonka's Factory!

wow.

i laughed very hard. I can imagine Jeff saying that.

He also yelled out "Eroica!"

I thought ultra-dancing crotch grabbing guy was special -- seemed like Tweedy saw him, too:)

Amazing night, though, and so glad to hear lots of early stuff + the Alex Chilton.

I dunno. I always thought stubhub all on its own, regardless of who owns it, is illegal. but that's just me.

I absolutely agree.

Wilco usually plays the 9:30club when they are on the east coast, although small venues might be unrealistic... they do make for phenomenal shows. and i am pretty sure ticketmaster owns stubhub.

I was at both 9:30 shows (as well Merriweather, Wolf Trap, Baltimore Opera, Durham, Delaware...)

If TM owns stubhub, isn't that illegal? My husband seems to think they had a problem with racketeering a few years ago.

It's an unrealistically small venue for Wilco at this point, unless it's a surprise show (think Radiohead at 9:30 after Tibetan Freedom Festival). I'd really like to know if TM has a relationship to other outlets, which always get tickets. Just saw them on stubhub for $118-600. We failed at presale (kept getting bumped out), then between two people using four computers for over an hour this morning.

I believe I'll be watching Ashes that night...

We tried presale. We tried this morning. My husband is ranting. Seriously, I'll bake cupcakes if you can help us out. And I'm a really good baker.

Show was great -- though way too short (okay, I'd say that any night.) Did it seem to anyone else that it took them a few songs to focus? I thought they turned a corner when John started jumping up and down (Jeff didn't seem to fully engage until after he said hello). I really liked the more experimental vibe last night -- as an obsessive listener, it was nice to hear my favorite band doing different stuff with their material (maybe lacking the Total Pros had something to do with that.) And getting to (finally) hear "I'm a Wheel" live was fantastic.

Conor Oberst was really wonderful, too. Sounds great with a band.

We were on the lawn (under the SL bridge) and I thought that the crowd was pretty subdued. Seems like maybe a lot of new fans? Guess it's not right to complain about that...

Poor Places: "My fangs have been pulled and I really want to see you tonight." Slays me every time.
