Dude

I'm still planning on this - seems like the best way to avoid hellish construction on the way to South Bend, too.

It was great meeting you, "The Other" Kevin! There's lots of pics of you on Facebook, some of which I took, which Maureen can hook you up with if you're not already on there. Wish You Were Here was pretty phenomenal, that Jeff put effort into figuring out the solo shows he takes these shindigs pretty seriously.

Jeff whistled!! We whistled along a bit in unison. Or tried to at least. I'm so glad you kept requesting, Chris. Persistence pays off...

Amazing night. Great getting up to play and harmonize on She's a Jar with The Man and not completely sucking in the process. Unforgettable experience. Ditty / Matt - had no idea you were proposing. Randomly picked you just because you were sitting there and seemed like you wanted to be picked. In retrospect, I'm probably one of the few people who didn't know. Maureen & family - amazing job hosting, fantastic location to have these things. And I've been to a few of these. Great seeing Heather & Russ, Edie, Wendy, Warner, Beltmann, Jules, Ken D, Matt Z, Tweedling & Mrs. Tw

Don't mean to be a buzzkill, but that December 31, 2010 release date seems highly unrealistic.

http://solidsoundfestival.com/schedule Looks like it's still being formatted but you get the gist of what's happening. According to this, Wilco's only playing Saturday. But the plus sign on "Jeff Tweedy Solo +" makes me hopeful that the full band will join him for encores. You can't close out a Wilco Fest without some Wilco!!!

Also forgot to mention they played an excellent cover of Bob Welch / Fleetwood Mac's Sentimental Lady, and mentioned new album is out early November and that they plan on touring after it comes out.

Good show, they played several new songs and closed with another Big Star cover, You Can't Have Me. And Lincoln Hall's a fun venue to see shows in. Even during the mellow vibe of the Autumn Defense set (which John self-effacingly poked fun at), Pat still found room to shred on his Tele.

This is pretty common knowledge, but the only reason Palin has been a vocal supporter of Israel (this and several other occasions) is because she is a crazedy Evangelical who believes a strong Israeli government is a prerequisite for Jesus Christ Almighty to swoop down in his Holy-Copter and shoot the living crap out of some wolves.

Poor dude. I'm sure he would have traded all the fame / notoriety in the world to have a normal, healthy life.

It kind of bugs me that for all the hand-wringing in this country about parental guidance and keeping kids from being exposed to graphic sexual content at an early age, in every checkout aisle at every grocery store in the country, right on the cover of Cosmopolitan and other women's mags, kids can get quite an education on how to have the best orgasms, how to please their men, what guys really want in bed, etc. Indeed, those mags are filthier / more pornographic than Playboy ever was.

Acquiring a PS3 soon just to get my grubby paws on this one. If only I had more free time..............

That's probably the last time you'll make a joke about f*@#ing sheep.

I heart Kristen Schaal.

One day before mine.

To stop watching crappy shows?

I guess I wonder whether those grains / spots would go away with the increased resolution of BluRay. Since the grain is in the film itself, and would exist whether translated to DVD or BluRay, my guess is no. Resolution would come into play if you saw heavy pixelation - i.e. squares, staircases or aliasing - but it sounds it's the grain in the film itself that you have issues with.

$$$$$ = more expensive?

I assume you were eyeballing the train that leaves at 12:38 PM and gets into South Bend at 4:03 PM. The earlier 8:45 AM one is a tad bit early for whiskey.

Slip inside the eye of your mind Don't you know you might find A better place to play You said that you'd never been But all the things that you've seen Will slowly fade away So I start a revolution from my bed 'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside the summertime's in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say Take me to the place where you go Where nobo

Thanks for the heads up, mark me down as a Maybe.

HPHS was practically my alma matter, I went to Deerfield High School and had plenty of friends who went to HPHS, so this hit pretty close to home. When I was in 8th grade, Reagan flew in and gave a speech in the DHS gymnasium. That was a pretty big deal. Secret Service wound up detaining a kid for 8+ hours because he stupidly made a joke about shooting the President.

Just bought one at 9:38 AM, so it doesn't look like the rush too that bad this morning.
