One of the most surreal things I've seen in a long time. Then on the show, when Affleck came on as guest, they stayed in character the whole time, Affleck worrying about his baby girl getting on YouTube when she's 12, "Dad"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Jimmy deadpans, "Well, she's OUR daughter now". Too much.

Hot for Teacher

"Oh My God!"

Or maybe Running With The Devil. Jeff could totally do those screams!

They are playing fucking SNL so my friends and family will finally stop saying "Who's Wilco". And Ellen Page is a perfect match.

I can understand being upset, and I sympathize with those who have to reschedule, but if that is the biggest problem in your life, you are doing well. All the sellout noise is a bit too dramatic. Please.

Having voted for Nader in 2000 based on this premise, my response is: You're kidding me, right??

 

On a high level, sure, I can see Ralph's point that both parties are inordinately indebted to serving special interests (particularly their own) over the interests of the public. Sure. Undoubtedly, they are. And from a broad point of view you can say one is just like the other. But that is a gross oversimplification, and the devil is in the details. I've spent eight years watching in disbelief as as the differences between the two options I had in 2000 have become clearly laid out for me. To be honest, the lesser of two evils has never looked so damned appealing.

Man, Well put. You saved me from having to spew an expletive-laden barrage of disbelief and anger. Nader cut himself off from any relevancy with that whole "no difference" thing. It's just not true.

A song can be a powerful thing.

That was signed by the whole band? I woulda jumped a little higher had I known that.

Goddamn, that was some moving moments tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I imagine they considered it, then figured it would mess with a pretty special little run of shows. That and the fact they were basically learning some of these songs in soundcheck. Maybe it's scheduled for the upcoming (ongoing) tour. Sure would be nice.

note to self....................always be nice to Edie.

You just figured that out, huh?

They got me on TamiFlu AND Zpac.

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the link, Lou. Very cool.

Beautiful kid! Congratulations, Eric!

And great name!

Rob, after I get well, I will work on my chops so I can totally jam with you. You ever come to KY?

And a caterer! Perhaps a masseuse!

I got the flu and away I flew!

Stop, strike that! Reverse it!

Had to drive home after 3 hours of sleep yesterday to beat the ice storm. Am sick as a dog right now. Haven't been sick in years. It was worth it, but ouch...

Next year, for waiting in line........

BIG TENTS!!!!

So maybe there's a chance Fred Armisen will get Jeff in a skit or two?

What about t-shirts?

I was supposed to get mine last night, for my family, and they had two larges left. That was it. They may not reprint.

Here's what they was:

And we missed you terribly and talked about you behind your back, you know.

any images of the posters floating 'round?

I think I will have some posters available on my site soon, as will WilcoWorld.

Wilco Winter Res Posters

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I accidentally put "2007" on Saturday night's poster, but went into the Riv to paint "8"s over the "7"s, and got to see them soundcheck Dash 7 with Andrew Bird while doing it. It pays to be a moron!

Once again, Charles, hats off to your fantastic work! I enjoyed meeting you last night (was that just last night)? Did you happen to take any stealth shots of Pat dancing? I can't wait to do a trade.

I'd say it's their turn to come see me!

I put the rest of my pictures from the last night up here.

Good shots there, Brianne. Here's something I don't get to say very often: Great drone pics!

One of the very best weeks of my life, too. Such a lot of good people, good music, and a great excuse to take the time to fall in love with Chicago. It's not often you hear someone say "Hey, I think it's up to 15 degrees now"!

my favorite was last night when he said that we'd do this all again next year on two occasions.

Did you have to drive through the ice storm today, too?

Can't ya'll all just move here?

 

Someday, someday......

I liked the "Box Full Of Lecords".

I missed you guys last night. I fell asleep halfway through Castaway with half-eaten Chinese food on the bed around 8. Cripes, you all have a lot of energy.

See you tonight!

Squeaky Toes!!!

Yeah, what the hell are we doing up?

Holy shit, indeed....

What?!?!?!?!
