That was all of us in this thread!

Excellent pretzels Evonne! And I see you chose the lampshade with the hangy orange tassels! ParTAY!!!

It seems like it's usually up pretty quick, if they are going to. At least we know Aaron (Col. H) is recording. Wilco (the Song) Bull Black Nova You Are My Face IATTBYH

Yay! Help yourself to a beer from the icetub there!

That's too bad. Mine's been clean and perfect so far. Ah, this is gorgeous!

Hi Aaron, can I offer you a Sam Smith's pale ale? Anybody got pretzels?

Well that band intro was unique!

Well, it won't be posted on Via Chicago, but I'm sure you could contact the Col. & get a copy. Also, Wilco may put it on their roadcase for awhile. Aaaaannnnd here we go! What a great intro, hahahaha. Party hats and lampshades in the line to the right, this party is officially begun!

Also watch out with Ryan Air's baggage weight limits, which are much lower than your overseas flight limits are likely to be. Just be sure to pack light. GtrPlyr, again I must rave over your photos! I need a trip to Europe, and I wonder if I could talk someone into letting me go out onto that swoopy observation deck on the Fred and Ginger building? Is that open to the public? Such an inspired bit of architecture!

GtrPlyr, your photos are brilliant!

Ah, Vienna! Be sure you go inside St. Stephen's Cathedral! The horse drawn carriage rides that originate outside the cathedral and travel through the old city are great for the information (if you can understand the heavily accented english) as well as being a wonderful short break from walking. Eat your fill and a few other people's of the too-pretty-to-eat cakes and pastries. They are as good as they look! I'd also recommend a walk to The Prater (amusement park) and a ride on the huge, venerable old ferris wheel with cabin-sized cars. The view in any direction is breathtaking. The Prater was

Thanks to M.Chris for that gorgeous video of The Band doing "It Makes No Difference". I was getting teary-eyed just listening. Danko's vocals are so achingly perfect in that. Good luck finding it, but Mickey Jupp's "City" has always choked me up. A guy leaving, and the girl can't come. Classic sad. "Will you write, if I send a letter? Every night Think of me every night Or better still, come with me to where I'm going I'd like to have you along..." Simply stated and such wistful loss about it!

Be strong, Dunja! And have fun emptying the ice cream tubs.

Aw, that's beautiful!

I'm considering just giving up altogether.

Yes twobobs, I realize there was a space between those two words, and there is a difference between "butt heads" and "buttheads".

Very cool! Congratulations!

Sorry, that's bull. The act of trying to get a higher price for tickets than was paid for them has a commonly acknowledged name, which is "scalping". You were trying to scalp these tickets.

What, have we not stated policy clearly enough???? Here's the header on the "How to Fight Loneliness" forum: "Ticket Forum Rules This forum was created to help both people who are in need of tickets as well as for those who have extras. This forum is for Wilco, or Wilco-related shows ONLY, if you need tickets to R.E.M., go to Murmurs, or Craigslist, etc. Anyone caught trying to sell (or buy) tickets for over face value will be banned from the Via Chicago forums, NO WARNINGS.

Has anybody told Riverside about this? I miss you so, fellow road warrioress! We shall travel and rock yet again! My lovely bunch of VC friends, thank you so very much for all your warm fuzzy good birthday wishes! I don't know what Wilco is slipping into the water, but I've never met a nicer or more caring group of people than you all. I feel so lucky to have made your acquaintances! Yes, I'm talking about YOU. I hope the coming year will give me plenty of chances to see some of you in person, or at least plenty of time to romp with you here in the hallowed halls of these for

I have recently discovered that I have the rather Frankensteinian ability, on this board, to "merge members".....which makes me imagine all kinds of weird and sometimes wonderful blends of two members' personalities! I think a blended m.chris and myself would be one of the good ones. (Some of the other possibilities send chills down my spine.) In honor of Chris's birthday, I promise not to merge anybody. Today, at least.

With love and bananas to you, sister of my heart, and sharer of our birthday! That's right, it's a sock monkey cake! I hope your day has been as wonderful as you are!

Why thank you!
