Scored Row A for the Rochester presale!

The reissues will be out June 2nd according to Amazon!

Thanks for the tip. I got the Courtyard Marriott!

Nice. Priceline is a concert-goers best friend sometimes.

Priceline.

I got the Hyatt Regency for $54/night.

Just a heads up for those going to the Milwaukee shows and looking for hotels. Try Priceline! I got the Hyatt Regency for $54/night.

I think we're going to get a room at the Best Western. Anyone stayed there? I'm guessing it's pretty standard but we won't need anything fancy...just a hotel within walking distance.

I was thinking of those Blue Notes and I also believe Hail To The Thief is a 12" 45. But I haven't bought vinyl in a few years since my TT broke. These Wilco releases are certainly making me think about buying one now even if I can't afford a nice one.

Beck "Guero" is also played at 45 rpm.

?

It's gone now. Before the seller had a Being There 2 LP 180 gram vinyl for $24.98 and said "preorder for April 18th".

This is interesting. Look at the first item for sale by MAD_MUSIC.

I've asked a couple independent record stores in my area (including one participating in Record Store Day) and they haven't heard anything about the reissues.

When I asked the last time, the worker replied "They need to release Summerteeth, it'd be like printing money." They did say next time they speak w/ "Wilco's people" (regarding new album press, etc) he will be sure to ask.

OK - here's the deal with the Safe House. A doorman will ask you to whisper the password to him. If you don't know it, you'll be asked to do something stupid to get in. (sing I'm a little teapot, act like a gorilla, etc.) Your stupid act is broadcast on a CCTV to the rest of the bar. Inside you'll find a bar with decor completely devoted to espionage kitsch.

Seems fair enough. There was a likely chance that after a few PBRs I was going to do something stupid like that anyway!

So it's close to the venue then? I've never spent anytime in Milwaukee, so I'm completely oblivious.

I'm making the 6 hour drive from southern MN! There's really no excuse not too!

I've heard quite a few things about the Safe House. A couple of my coworkers went there and it sounds like an awesome place. This might be a stupid out-of-towner question, but are you still able to get in if you don't know the password and aren't with someone who does?

I was lucky enough to get in the center floor for both Milwaukee shows! Row F for night 1 and Row K for night 2!

Wilco on my birthday, doesn't get any better than that!

But you get to hear the proper ending of 'Pot Kettle Black', so it evens out.

Very true. That was a pleasant surprise!

I'm just starting to dive into the vinyl craze myself and couldn't be more happier about the news of the re-releases! I only have YHF (with AGIB on the way)...but experiencing YHF on vinyl got me hooked instantly!

That being said, I cannot believe how unfortunate it is that the Ashes of American Flags / Heavy Metal Drummer transition is completely lost due to having to switch records. What a buzzkill!

I definitely hope I'm able to score tickets to these shows! It'd be a nice mid-week vacation, not to mention seeing Wilco on my birthday would just be too perfect!

Very nice! Just got back from Chicago for the Tweedy shows and now it looks like we'll be heading back out that way for the Milwaukee shows.

It looks like the Pabst Theater is relatively small...should we expect tickets to be pretty tough to come by?

Haven't heard the new album yet but will definitely check it out. I do like some of BK's stuff, entertaining at the very least. I've met him a couple times and he's a very cool guy and very gracious to his fans.

Oh, your username just reminded me of this story.

Wow, hadn't heard that! I assumed you were referring to my location and the current rumor the Vikings will go after him.

Matt Cassel?

Wishful thinking there! I think the weekend of 10klf might be the weekend training camp starts actually.

Here's to hoping they sell single day tickets!

My girlfriend and I got our tickets today! Made the quick decision to not pass these shows up and make the drive to Chicago that weekend. Have to say I'm pretty stoked about our decision.
