Damn, that is a rough year. I lost an old friend & bandmate too. Drank himself to death just shy of 40. Here's hoping 2015 treats you & your family better. Best wishes.

Yeah, it worked for me. Sounds great, too.

The Winterlude Roadcases are up!

The Winterlude Roadcases are up!

Well said! Same to you, and I'll echo the sentiment.

Same here. I'll be very disappointed if we don't get two Wilco sets. If they were only playing once I wouldn't even bother with a three day pass, and certainly wouldn't be paying for a four night minimum stay at a hotel.

For me, as long as we get 2 Wilco sets (or a Jeff solo set) everything else is just a bonus, but since we're speculating & wishing, here are a few bands I'd like to see on the bill: Gregory Alan Isakov Reigning Sound Dr Dog Blitzen Trapper Shovels and Rope Sarah Jarosz

Very nice!

Best wishes, Susie. Get well soon!

Jeff does sound great, and they're even tighter than usual tonight. What a great show.

Nels is in fine form tonight.

Yeah it was, and always straight into I Might.

Ha!

They're sounding incredible so far. Man, Solid Sound can't come soon enough.

I don't think so....Might be time to join a program?

Exactly. For most Wilco shows my wife & I are right up front, but S.S. is different. Last time we had a blanket up on the hill. It was perfect.

Got my two! Luckily my girls are still free (this'll be the last year).

The early bird tickets have gone up in price by $25. I'm hoping this means they're reducing the number of tickets this year. I'd gladly pay a bit more to have a smaller crowd. Either way though, it's still a great price for a 3 day festival. Can't wait!

Sorry to hear it, man. The same thing happened with one of our Basset Hounds a few years back. Took her in because she wasn't eating and the vet told us her kidneys were shutting down. She was 14, but it was still a punch to the gut.

Sorry, i pasted the wrong link. Here's the correct one: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/11/24/cleveland-shot-boy/19471925/

I see. So merely pointing a sniper rifle at feds is ok? Just boys having fun? What about the 12 year old in Cleveland they gunned down on a playground for holding a bb gun? In a state that allows good, patriotic, open carry idiots to parade around in public with AR-15's slung over their shoulders. Of course they have the good sense to be white. http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2014/11/04/republicans_and_the_midterms_global_warming_deniers_could_have_their_dreams.html I wonder if THAT cop will go to trial. Just kidding, there's no need to wonder.

You're right. The system isn't broken. It's functioning exactly as it was designed to. If Brown had been, say, a group of gun fondling rednecks on a ranch pointing automatic weapons at federal agents, he'd have been sent on his way. No hard feelings. Unfortunately for him, he stole some cigars and walked down a street unarmed. That's just begging to have a magazine emptied into him, am I right?

I know. I've been following this nonsense for a long time. it's been the subject of at least one rage-inducing documentary. I know there are a few teachers here on VC. I'd love to get their perspective.

Yep. Their willful ignorance is bought and paid for, but the effect is much the same. Catastrophic.
