Cold as Gasoline

If anyone is in town for the Tweedy solo shows and looking for a good, cheap place to eat near the Vic, I recommend Penny's Noodles about 2 blocks away on Sheffield at Roscoe. It's a weird wedge-shaped building right under the L tracks, but they offer ridiculously delicious, fresh, thai noodles with fast service. Tons of fresh veggies and inexpensive. I like the sauteed chicken and the bbq pork noodles. http://pennysnoodleshop.com/ Also second the recommendations for Sheffield's bar and Schuba's which is a little farther to walk, but a really cool place (and often really good musical ac

Jeff Tweedy!

Last time I was there I had the fish tacos and they were good!

Lake Street Dive.

Believe it or not, I'm going to a performance of Beck's "Song Reader". Should be interesting!

Mine too! I physically hugged my laptop more than once (hanging head in shame).

Have a ticket to see Tift Merritt tonight, but given the snow situation in Chicago today, I think I will skip it.

Yes, I was one of the lucky peeps in the first row behind the gold section last year, and had a great view! Sight line is important when you are short like me. I showed up a bit before the doors opened and that worked out great.

Whoo hoo! Happy day. Got my gold ticket for the 13th! Can't wait.

Thank you so much! I enjoyed this very much.

I got my ticket via mail a week or two after ordering. Speedy! Can't Hardly Wait.

I really hope he is able to conquer this. His music has brought a lot of joy to my life.

Andrew Bird.

Ah, OK. I must have missed it. Thought it sounded good though.

I know. That guy's generosity seems to know no bounds. So happy for all the lucky peeps who get to see him perform in their very own homes!

Live debut of Sunloathe! Don't think Wilco have ever played it live.

Wow, wish i could live chat this with someone. A guy just bought a song for $1000 on the condition that Jeff go out on the street and sing for all the fans waiting in line who can't get in. So nice!

Not much. First song auctioned off for $500ish. "You're Not Alone". Jeff says he'll wear a sombrero for an extra $50

Just wanted to pass along that Jeff is up next and it will be streaming live here: http://www.letterstosantachicago.com/

"Heavy Metal Drummer" while eating a mushroom melt at Potbelly's

Punch Brothers at the Vic.

I saw that too and thought it was just so sweet and lovely. Dolly was so kind, when she kidded him that he was scared while they were rehearsing.

Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three.

Got my early worm ticket and Hampton Inn in Bennington, VT is booked. Whoo hoo! This will be my first Solid Sound festival and I am pumped.

Really liked that interview. Thank you for sharing!
