Hi

Looking for ticket for the 30th

Where is the seat?

Thanks

If you can - go online and try to book a reservation at The Catbird Seat - this is one of the very best restaurants I have ever visited - anywhere.  Spectacularly terrific and inventive.  It's a prefix menu with optional drink and wine pairings.  You can ONLY reserve a seat (or seats) through Open Table.  If they are booked (which is likely, I think) get on the waiting list.  That has worked for me twice in the past.  Also, Etch and The Southern are quite good too - and both are close to The Ryman.

Sounds great. Thanks for the recommendations

Oh Portland, how I love you. My goals were to see Tweedy, to eat local food and have a fancy cocktail. And I must say I was wildly successful on all counts. Even stayed an extra day to explore more restaurants. Just a solid farm-to-table mentalitly at almost every place we went. Highlights were Empire, Boda, Local 188, Eventide, Vinland, 555, Holy Donuts and Hot Suppa. Looking forward to another visit soon to continue the food tour with Duck fat, Hugo's, Nosh and Central Provisions. Butternut squash ravioli with brown butter and pecans, pastrami egg roll, sweet potato glazed donut, oysters and salted butter semi-fredo, some amazing cocktails made with homemade tinctures and a red wine that tasted a bit like dried salami.

oh yeah the Tweedy...

I'm always a bit anxious before GA shows because the standing in line factor interferes with exploring a new city (though you do meet some lovely people in line). Definitely wasn't a problem for this show. Basically walked in about 630ish and sat in the second row next to a super cool person. Met 3 Canandians (lovely people as well) who were friends with the loud intoxicated Portland man who decided to talk to Jeff through the entire show. At first it was fine because it was Jeff banter, (who doesn't love Jeff banter) but things escalated and by the end of the show someone from the 3rd row left their seat to yell at him. Despite the drunken behavior I really enjoyed the show. It was my 4th time seeing Tweedy and the third time being at The State Theater.

I realize I have more details on the food I ate then of the show but I kind of zone out and go to my happy place when I'm watching Tweedy, (with or without Wilco) and try to stay present. So I'll leave it to others with better memories to comment on the show's details.

Looking forward to seeing Wilco at the Ryman in a few weeks. It will be my first time in Nashville so I'm glad I know where I'll be seating so I can go out and explore. And of course find some delicious local dishes (but not friend boloney on white bread, no won't do it)

I have an extra ticket for Tues and Weds night Oct 21st and 22nd. They are balcony seats Section 10

Row H seat 4 first night, Row F seat 1 the second night. They are will call tickets and I would meet you there to give to you. Email me if you're interested dmhickey@mac.com

thanks

The Union Station Hotel is great and is also a terrific example of turn of the century architecture - also a short walk to The Ryman and other excellent live music venues and killer food.  All that said, there is apparently some LARGE conference/convention (Nashville opened a huge new convention center downtown last year) and my local contacts have told me that rooms are filling fast.  If you are looking for hotel accomodations close to The Ryman for these shows - I would get on it quickly.  Also, the New York Times has a nice "36 Hours in Nashville" piece posted on their site - I tried to repost it here, but was not successful for some reason...

Thanks for the information radiowilco.  The sites I checked say it is already booked. I'll keep looking

Thanks for the info - I am feeling good about Section 10/Balcony and Section 5 Row D Seat 1 on the floor.  I think I'll take your advice and stay put.  There are already to seats for Section 10 in the Balcony going for $150 on StubHub!  I travel to Nashville on business 10 out of 12 months each year - I have fallen in love with the city.  I stay at The Union Station Hotel which is amazing and very well situated for enjoying all that Nashville has to offer.  In August, I caught Amanda Shires at 3rd and Lindsley - amazing show.  I am hoping there might be a good late night set of bluegrass happening at The Station Inn after the Wilco shows.  But mostly, see these guys at The Mother Church - holy shit!!![

 

This will be my first time at the Ryman and I'm so excited! I could only get balcony seats but looks like section 10 is a good section. Thanks for mentioning The Union Station Hotel. I'm looking for hotels now. I have high expectations for Nashville. Coming with camera in hand. If anyone knows of specific areas for graffiti and great architecture I'd love to hear. Thanks

I always look forward to this 2 day Tweedyfest every year but couldn't make it this year because of work. Don't know how old Sammy is and how much longer he'll be at this school or how much longer these shows will last but I do hope there is at least one more show for next year and hopefully in March again. Looking forward to hearing the recordings. I think I shall go on a long drive and play the shows back to back and ramble through some backroads Cheers!

Sending you a giant hug and lots of positive energy. Stay strong and believe.

this ticket is sold and cant figure out how to delete.  Sorry

Thanks deb

We got about 2 feet in Providence. Now dealing with poorly plowed street. Yesterday there was rain and 40 degrees and today the sun is out so hopefully there will be more melting. Someone said there were a few more storms coming our way this week but haven't looked at the weather yet. Don't want it to ruin my day. Took some snow pics on Sat after the storm

Ay yi yi--I did it. 2 gold circle!

Gold Circle Girl, Good for you!!  I'll be right behind you in the cheap seats!  See you soon

So who wants to get a group together and stand in line early to get our requests in?

Count me in!

What airline are you using? Cheapest tickets i could find from Providence were $300+, and that's a bit more than I'd like to spend (what with S.Sound coming up).

I really want to go to the show on the 13th. It'd be my birthday present to myself.

 Southwest for $218

Thanks for the opportunity to come to the show again this year. Had a blast last year. Also love the mid week show- it's easier for me to get a night off. Got really inexpensive flight from Providence. Now must set my alarm for tomorrow so I don't forget to buy tickets CST I'm assuming

I just thank god that they didn't use my audio.  I was just rambling and rambling and not making any sense.  The cameraman just smiled and was like

okay crazy lady.  That was a great event at the Vic.  If you haven't been to those shows, you must go.  It is truly a blast.

Thanks for posting Diane! That was a treat

yeah, I seem to recall 'presale' tix. As for accommodations, we went through homeaway.com, which is a great site - we did that for SSF2 (and other trips) and it's pretty easy...btw, I'm praying/wishing/hoping for no rain this time...

I'm so hoping for a lovely summer evening without rain as well. But this year if there is rain, I shall be more prepared with rain boots and an actual raincoat instead of the coat I wore that pretended to be a raincoat, but wasn't.

I'm going to say this old school-Oh My God!! That was a great show. This was my last show of 2012 and I was hoping to rock out and that's just what happened. Love Jeff banter but the show just didn't need any conversation. I was in the mezzanine so most people were sitting but it didn't bother me. Ran down to the front for the 2nd encore. Thank you Wilco for another great year and see you at SS in June

BTW Went to a great restaurant in Hartford called the Firebox before the show It was a bit pricey and the portions small but they advertise a farm to table philosophy and also support the lower economic community that they reside in so it was worth it. I would definitely travel back to Hartford just to go there.

I look forward to reading about the rest of the tour on VC-keep on posting!!

Great photos

Thanks for the pics, everyone!

 

A reminder though, that while we love to see your Wilco-themed shots, they're not eligible for inclusion in the calendar.

Sorry I wasn't clear-thought the VC calendar was suppose to be Wilco inspired. So there isn't a theme other than the seasons/months? And it's just photography and not other artwork?

i never received my 6 pack of jones soda when my entry from last year qualified. :-(

I won the contest in 2010 and again last year. My Jones soda showed up on the back porch in June of 2011. Still haven't received the soda from last year's contest.

Boy, do I love this picture!

Thanks Diane!

How's it going? I had two back to back vacations and have been so overwhelmed with juggling work. See you in August
