  1. Last May I went to Miami just to see Wilco so I stayed at the theater after lunch, to try to talk to the band before the show. Jeff was the first that appeared, he was going out to walk, spoke quickly and when he came back I took a photo and autographed my wilco toy art . He was very kind and funny! :)

  2. @Wilco Summer Photo Contest #wilcoinnature

     

    Fear not - the annual Wilco summer photo contest has returned. This year's theme is "Wilco In Nature" and we're asking you to submit your photos that, well, have something that says Wilco in nature. Inspiration comes in part from the

    - Snap a photo that is awesome... and includes:

    3. why this image will remind you to vote the environment this November (or whenever that next election comes)

    - Tweet your photo @wilco with the hashtags #wilcoinnature & #becauseilove. (tip #1: in order to show up in the hashtag chain , your twitter account must be public. tip #2: Don't want to make yours public... create a new one)

     

    ROUND 2: select (July 26 - 30)

    - Wilco HQ will select 50 photos. HQ will be contacting you through twitter. If you don't respond within 24 hours, you won't make the cut... so be on the lookout .

    Just got home on the train after two nights in the Big Apple. I liked the Thursday night show better that Friday's. One reason was probably the rain and standing back near the bleachers and not up close as on Thursday. Expected more of a varied set last night. Since we also attended the show in Boston I'd heard most of the songs played three times. I expected to hear the new stuff again and thought they would do what they did at Solid Sound and play different tunes the rest of the show. I also don't dig them starting the show with my new bathroom song "One Sunday Morning". I didn't have to go yet. Kind of boring as well as far as I'm concerned for the start of a concert. Other highlights: Walked over to the Dakota and Strawberry Field before last nights show. Kind of like Dealey Plaza to me. A tragic place. Spent Friday afternoon staying dry watching the movie Moneyball at a Times Square theater. Pretty good flick with some Red Sox moments in it for you fellow Sox fans. Met Jim Leyritz at Mickey Mantle's after the Thursday show. Kind of a strange place to meet a guy who has had his disastrous moments with the bottle. Overall, when you include the live Letterman concert, a great 4 nights of Wilco for me. By the way, I spoke to a Wilco management type who was standing back near the soundboard last night before the show and he told me the Solid Sound dates for next year are not finalized yet. So those June22-24 dates might not be the ones. When I asked him if he was sure, he said he should know since he's the one who is involved in the scheduling. But he did say we would know within a month so I guess it is on anyway. I've looked into booking rooms for that weekend and everything is pretty much gone already. I guess we'll all find out soon.

  4. Well, it's a rumor... This guy (@Tribulaciones) always talk about Wilco's shows in Argentina... but, who knows...

    I'm waiting for the announcement of upcoming shows because maybe i'll try to see them in another country... I hope they do Solid Sound again :~~
