I always wake up feeling old, Drew! Oh! You mean the song!!! Aw, Too bad. But I had to see Brennan safely off on Amtrak Chief #4. Look out, Phoenix.

Well Hell, I'm back just in time to hear the closer! What'd I miss?

I SO don't want to leave for the train station!!! This is sublime!!!! Hiya Wendy!!! This concert is making me all exclamation pointy!!!!!!

I'm here & LOVING this, but unfortunately have to leave in a moment so y'all party on until I'm back. Gotta take my boy to the train station...he's off on a school newspaper conference in Phoenix for several days, lucky kiddo! HOT DAMN this sounds great!

Where are you getting this info?

Thanks ephSooner! Here's the text of that Wilco Store message: Attention shoppers, The Ashes of American Flags preorder ends this Wednesday at 3pm (EDST). There are many extras available.

I can't wait for this to come out as a JHamm DVD!

I hope you got the birthday you deserved, Brad! Here to help you celebrate a day late, I give you a razorback cake! With roses in its butt! (That part I can't explain, but hey, HAPPY BIRTHDAY anyway!) Talk about being all rosy-cheeked! Have a wonderful year!

Proving that I too can be oblivious, I have missed your birthday, but I think I may have saved the belated moment....with the perfect virtual cake! This cake is apparently intended for the oblivious since it came up when I searched for an Oblivion Cake. Enjoy! Let us know if it, in fact, causes you to become still more oblivious....if you think of it, that is... I would only try a small bite until you know how it affects you.

Again I find myself belated, but luckily the wishes are still warm. (I kept them in foil in a low oven.) So, I bring you cake: ....with apologies since that tacky "Cindy" at Bethel Bakery apparently felt the need to sign her cake artwork. Sheesh. Have a wonderful year!

Happiest belated birthday, dear Owl, and have a positively glorious wedding! I'll be thinking of you on the 18th and hoping for beautiful weather and everything going perfectly! I give you cake: Happy Birthday to Yoooooou!

We need to call a birthdays time-out for about a month so's I can catch up on my well-wishing! For you, Bryan....a jester cake, for fooln people. Even the name and age are confusing! Which reminds me, everybody should read Christopher Moore's newest book, "Fool"...his retelling of King Lear, as seen through the eyes of the court jester. It's brilliantly funny. (I couldn't afford a gift, Bryan, but you may consider this your Birthday Tip. You're welcome. )

I learn so much from you, Froggie.

Hi Bea!

Southward, boys....a bit southward please....

It's clearly time I gave this thread the boot.....the boot cake, that is! Happy Birthday, Greg!!! There's ice cream in the toe.

Jack, what venue was this show? I know Earle is scheduled to play Spaceland sometime soon...I was thinking of trying to see that. You've got me more tempted now. I agree with the love for his version of "Can't Hardly Wait". Need to give that album more listening time! Edit: well crap, I knew the Spaceland date was soon...I just checked and sure enough this was the show you're talking about. I'll bet it was wonderful in such a tiny place! Wish now I hadn't missed it.

Pat, I'm so glad you decided to stay after all!

Leo! Long time no see! Sorry to hear about the knee surgery, but I hope it results in pain-free ambulation for many years to come. I give you cake: and fondest wishes!

Wilco - The Stimulus Album

Hey Bro! I wish the brightest and most brilliant of birthdays to one of the brightest and most brilliant Via Chicagoans ever! Cake for everybody! I realize this cake might be inappropriate for a mere 3-year-old.... Happiest of days, Drew!

This is quite possibly the stupidest degeneration yet of a topic I started. I like it!

Yikes, scary footage on CNN of the central London blaze now burning....a half-mile from St. Paul's Cathedral, at an area under construction near the Thames. London fire Live coverage here: very dramatic in the night! Fortunately, they're saying no one has been injured, and no historic buildings damaged, despite the fire's location. Go, firefighters! Live London fire coverage (Edit: well, not anymore...now it's live Obama Town Hall meetings... )

Oops, I'm a day late aren't I? Happiest of birthdays, happiest of years to our dear Dreamin' Judy! May this be the best year yet of your life!
