It's so good to see you! I've missed you.

This had me laughing but also getting all misty eyed. I love all the seasons of VC.

You need to start us a new one, Teeg.

I know exactly what you mean, Susan! These friendships have stretched all across my life in every direction ever since I met all of you. Thanks, Wilco, for bringing together all these beautiful, crazy people who've enriched my life so much!

We could certainly try!

Damn, it is so good to see all of you! Kara, what wonderful news on your coffeeshop! Maybe we can get Wilco to visit this incarnation. 😊 I'm excited for you & looking forward to a visit!

Over by the miniature golf course.

There's pizza in the East Lounge, and BBQ beside the poolhouse. If anyone needs a funny party hat, lampshade, or feather boa, I think Stardog was in charge of those. Anybody need more sangria?

I haven't seen that. I'll ask Neuroglue if he knows. May have a limit on how many characters.

Are we invoking the spirit of our resident dairytarian, Shiney McShine?

Somebody locate that boy! We have so many questions!

Hi Via Chicago! 11-8-2001 to 11-8-2021! Back in midsummer, our member Albert Tatlock asked what VC's birthdate was, given our "Wilco fan community since 2001" tagline. And I realized that I didn't actually know! I had joined the admin team in March 2003, so I hadn't been part of the birthing process, though I'd been among the earliest members, drawn in by this witty, funny, quirky bunch who loved this great band. My first contact with our admin, Narziss, was when he complimented my username when I joined. I had nabbed it from the song we all knew

Saw Night Shop (Justin Sullivan) at Gold-Diggers in L.A. tonight. Had a massive good time, still can't wind down at almost 3 a.m! He just gets better and better.

This is a terrific interview with Susie, discussing The Tweedy Show and more. https://www.talkhouse.com/sue-tweedy-talks-the-tweedy-show-lounge-ax-and-the-stuff-in-her-house/

I have all the details now of our origin story! I will be sharing with all of you next week. As soon as I can get it all properly written up.

Happy for ya, Jon! The better team won.

Your review has me intrigued! I'll look for it.

Wishing you all much "candy left over from Halloween" and not too many monster encounters!

...for a quarter century now! "Being There" has been dazzling us all since it was released 25 years ago today, and has sure proven its staying power. Those songs sound as fresh as the day I first heard them. 💜 An album for the ages!

Thanks for your detective work! I'll take your word for it. Seems right. And Paul, without your detailed recaps, I'd remember half the shows wrong. It all swirls past so fast. I deeply appreciate that you keep it all in order and record the banter moments that give the show its personality. 💗

That's always so weird when people do that! Unless someone is suddenly deathly ill, I don't get it. I wish I could ask them! And leaving last night's show just boggles my mind. It was that good.

Here's the setlist, as Paul said, played straight through with no changes.

It's too late in the set to be RNG, we got that second. I was trying to figure it by photo order but I didn't take too many. This is the next photo I took.

I like this picture from tonight. Mostly I was too blocked for a clear photo, but that's fine because I loved that the crowd was enthusiastic and standing and dancing! So who can identify which song this was?
