No, "report" is what we call that function, and is always fine to do if a member thinks it's necessary. Better that than on-board bashing between members.

My dearest Wilcos, this was the best damned party I've ever been to. Thank you, thank you, thank you, a million times over. Outrageously, transcendently state-of-the-art Wilco. I bow to you. (That's a bow apiece, let's nobody take two.) What joy! Also, Jeff, keep the hawt hat! It's a great look, as my photos will attest (once I get home and post them that is.) And Glenn, keep the crown. Equally fetching. It seems that hats are coming back! Somebody get John a nice fedora....Nels would look great in a porkpie....etc. (Can anyone tell I'm a bit done in and sleep-deprived? T

Oh, there is.

So this is shaping up to be a gathering of hawt chicks and hawt guys. Cool! Let's hope the weather isn't too hawt.

Lovely.

Oh! We almost ate there, but didn't have time for a proper lunch, so we just grabbed fish & chips. Moby Dick's looked like a great place! We'll have to go there another time....maybe you could join us?

I made fast friends with this guy while having lunch on Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara, while my son Tom & I were in S.B. to see Wilco at the Santa Barbara Bowl. These photos still crack me up. Here's looking at you, kid. Also your lunch. So....you gonna eat those fries? He helped finish every scrap, with the assistance of a deep-gray, red-beaked pal who sat on the railing beside us, close enough to give me an ear exam. Every time I glanced to the left, the gray guy was staring at me from maybe 6 inches away, all intensity and devotion. The pair ate well that day.

It is! Please come introduce yourself....our little band of hooligans will be up toward the front. I'll wear my "Knuckleheads for Wilco" button if it'll help. Very cool that your parents have such excellent taste!

WONDERFUL STUFF!!! Thanks for sharing! Glenn is such a joy to watch in HMD. Love that big chrome jellybean sculpture in your photos.

DAMN!!!! I love this review. Felt like I was right there with you. Sounds like it was an amazing night!

We must meet!

Ryan! WOO-HOO! So far this is looking like a smallish crowd.....good, we'll have no trouble getting right up front. Oh and Wendy, while I'm sure your Melissa-finding-strategy is an excellent one, it is rendered unnecessary by the fact that M.Chris & Edie & I will have already kidnapped the lass for the Little Rock show. But I might try your method anyway, just to see how many Melissas are in the crowd....as a sort of sociology experiment.....

I'm in! Identify yourselves!

Wow, nice photos, Morgan! I just read all 6 pages of this wonderful thread, feeding off the happy energy. You lucky souls! Johnny, gorgeous poster! And WOW, based on that YouTube clip, I've gotta say.....HAHAHAHA, Chicago claps in rhythm about as well as I do which isn't saying much! (I've thought of having a button made which says, "I do not do rhythmic handclapping." But I'm trying to improve on this. ) Even L.A. did better at the handclapping! I'm serious!

Yes! Blurry though it is, I love seeing the 3 of them stacked up against each other, all absorbed into their own musical contributions. Together, yet apart. Thanks for the nice words, Clouds & Chuck!

Why yes, yes you will.

That's a personal favorite of mine, too. I also love the 4th picture, of Nels as a stuttered blur: It just has a neat "Nels" energy, to me. Of course virtually ever picture of Nels is a blur!

Aw, Jen sweetest, that's so sad. I believe that goodbyes are never forever, but still, realizing that we might have to actually say goodbye...for now...is such a difficult thing. You and your family are all in my most loving thoughts and prayers. Hang in there.

Happy Birthday Jen!!!! May our paths cross again very soon. In the meantime, I bring you....CAKE! Damn bakery got some of the details wrong but I hope you enjoy it anyway!

It's true, I am coming, because I have never been to Arkansas, and apparently all of you will be there. This makes my showing up imperative. Now if I can just get my family situated to do without "mom" for a brief spell...and then get myself packed..... Beginning to get psyched for Roadtrip II ! PS - to M.Chris and Edie....do not let me leave Little Rock without my traditional souvenir snow globe!

Wow, I hadn't realized just how many photos I shot in San Diego.....unfortunately, most of them are not spectacular, but they still bring back memories of a terrific night & a terrific show. I hope you'll enjoy them. You can see all of them at Flickr, here....the good, the bad, and the ugly ....or you can just enjoy a few favorites, posted below. I'm going to let Brennan post his favorites, so.....ya gets what ya gets.

Sure, Sarah, go ahead and copy any you like, or I can just send you a disc of them if you like. The one of you and Nels came out very cute, if you overlook the security guy's arm trying to push you both aside because "This car is trying to get out!". I was going to photoshop that guy's arm out before I passed that photo along. You'll have it very soon! (I'll send a "before" and "after" for your amusement!) Yep, that was one fun picnic.
