I think this might have been my favorite part of Solid Sound 2010

I definitely don't need a push but I thoroughly enjoyed your slideshow. Thanks.

Well I didn't mean actual rioting, but we very rarely protest anything. That was my point.

Well, we got the dates right. This from Solid Sound's Facebook page. Solid Sound Festival 2011 is on & officially set for June 24-26 @ MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA. Info at solidsoundfestival.com

My only problem with last year was the indoor Hunter Center. It was just too small to fit all of the people who wanted to get in there and all of the shuffling was distracting. Perhaps they will schedule a few things at the same time to break up the crowd this time around.

OK, I've got my cup of coffee...waiting for the announcement.

I think we need to riot more here. We just sit and take it.

Try Albany airport. It's about an hour drive.

The hotel situation is a problem but the food was really great at the festival so it didn't really matter to me that there weren't alot of options in town. The venue is really, really wonderful and the townspeople were so cool about everything, so I'm happy it's there again. I agree that it's also nice that it takes a bit of an effort to get there which I think contributed to the overall good feeling of the event. Everyone that was there really wanted to be there. Also, the drive is beautiful and you start to get in a good mood even before you arrive.

I'll be staying at that same dump. Oh well. We won't be spending much time in the room anyway...and I've stayed in my fair share of crappy hotels, so I can handle it.

Just to confirm...are we talking about the last weekend in June?

Porches mentioned that they were fully booked because of a concert as well. I think this is it. Thanks for the tip. So looking forward to it.

You got lucky. Good for you.

When did you book it? My friend just called this morning and was told it was totally booked for that weekend. Porches as well.

They are mostly sold out too for that last weekend in June.

I stayed in the Holiday Inn last year and it was extremely convenient. Bummer. Camping maybe?

Wow. The rooms sold out before the announcement even?

The Maker is a good one. Written by Daniel Lanois and performed by Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris

When did Via Chicago get so pervy?

I would love some leaked information about Solid Sound 2011. Anybody got anything?

The smell of apple pie in the oven.

True. This thread is like Sarah Palin. Totally stupid but people can't seem to stop commenting on it.

Seconded. This is the song that got me hooked on Wilco forevermore.

I know. Tweedy looks great at that show. I haven't seen him look that good in years.

I agree. There is something magical about how Tweedy compels us to sit in silence to really feel the songs and the experience. That said, I still appreciate both approaches.
