I can hear the heirs now......"I don't have anywhere to put that hunk of rust! You keep it! Grandma would want us to donate it to the city council! I know she would!" "Wait a minute though.....are those tranquilizers still ok?"

See you all soon....we are about to start the 2 1/2 hour drive to Davenport!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're in seats 11 and 12 of Row A, Section B.

Good pointless, Johnny!

You're out of line, Pinto. This is a Wilco fan board, and this thread is expressly intended as a thank you thread to the band. No one is "ignor(ing) real issues and instead spend(ing) their time being distracted by entirely pointless trifles." A well-rounded life includes simple pleasures such as admiring and being uplifted by a talented and meaningful band such as Wilco. Our joys give meaning to the things we struggle toward, and the negatives we struggle against. So, struggle against what you believe is wrong, such as invading Iran. But don't act as though the people commenting in this thr

Should be fine as long as you don't use flash, and you may have a chance after the show to meet the band & chat & perhaps get a photo then. Your first Wilco show??!! You are in for such a treat.

I have memorized your face, and shall stare hard and questioningly at anyone who seems to resemble you. I will look like the eyebrow emoticon-> . You've been forewarned. Wilco-the-baby's parents? I expect you to introduce yourselves and perhaps show off current baby photos of your adorable son.

You do a good job and we'll move you right on up to KP. Did you really wash two cats today? Yikes! Or did you mean to type "cars"? Which scratch and bite a whole lot less..... ......if it was cats, could I put you in charge of getting Lammycat into the shower? (Sorry, Lammycat, it was just a joke. Go ahead and apply the headbonk emoticon, I deserve it)

That sounds like a book I'd love!

Cool! But I'll betcha you're not the oldest. We'll compare drivers licenses. PS Is the j for joanne? We'll wave...tentatively at first, then we'll flash the VC hand symbol, furtively....then security will collar us and throw us out of the venue for flashing gang signs....later we'll find out that it wasn't even you, you were 6 seats away in the opposite direction.....we were waving at a total stranger who happened to be undercover security..... Yep, pretty much sounds like my usual misadventure! Hey explodo, you wanna get in on the fun? We're gonna need someone to sneak in liquor, may

Laura! Wonderful to see you! As a reader, I tend toward fiction most of the time....but a well-written nonfiction is just as absorbing. By the way, that "The Blood of Strangers" you recommended awhile back was incredible! Go ahead and recommend whatever you have enjoyed. You have terrific taste in books. I'll find myself a copy of "Water for Elephants". I've heard something about that one, too. I think my book club carries it.

We love ya, Rosie.

Love that book. Great recommendations, everybody! Keep them coming.

They have two short humans who could possibly bite me about the knees and ankles! Never mind poking me with keys they may be unwilling to share! Give me time, girl. And stop diverting my thread! I have yet to hear even one admiring comment about the clever title I've bestowed upon those of us who will be attending, the exclusive club henceforth to be known as The Davenportables. Let's see The Cincinnasties beat that. HA!

See, it's people like her you have to watch out for......hey, pillowy one, hope you are cushioned amply because..... Although I must say it's very hard to be annoyed at pillowy, starlike people who drop cool surprise gifts into the mail.....you sneaky, wonderful person you.... Pm on the way (unless the Davenport preparations steal all my free time)! Am so shy. Haven't even gone over to meet the new neighbors, who've been there a whole half-day. I'm terrified.

Like a lot of this wild and rambunctious crowd , I read books like breathing, constantly running out of material! God but I love a good story! I was noticing the other day that several of the books that have really moved me have been stories about animals....I guess I just really like getting out of the human perspective sometimes. With so many other creatures sharing the planet, it's fascinating to consider how things look to other species, and how they spend their lives. I'd love to hear some animal-centric books that have been powerful, absorbing reads for the rest of you. Here are three

Hello and a hearty welcome to our cozy little boards.....watch out for that pizza crust over there, and the spill on the couch....jeebus, these guys are messy. But hey, they are good-hearted and have excellent musical taste! I trust somebody has filled you in on the policy about the latrine duties being the first week assignment of newbies like yourself? Sorry about that.....Supplies are under that cabinet over there...... See you at the Greek!

Cloudy Lady, I have no further info on the rumor about a possible Red Rocks date. Wish I did. As for all you Davenportables, we have to try to meet each other! I'm going to be with a friend, so I'm not sure what our plans will be, before or after......but I really, really want to meet any VC'ers who'll be at this show! So please, don't be shy! I'm a shy one myself (I REALLY AM! ).....so i understand...but the ice breaks quickly. Introduce yourselves, please. I'll be in jeans and a wide-wale deep tan corduroy button front shirt. My son Brennan, a 16-yr-old who has recently defied gravity

ROSIE!!!! But...but....it's not possible!!!!!! Because you're.....(kidsmoke does math in her head, never a pretty sight. Be glad this is on the internet without visuals.... ) ....you're 14, right????? Or maybe you're a 40-yr-old man hiding out in a dark, dank basement....it totally depends on who you believe. But hey, my "I Believe in Tweedy's Gurl" coffee mug here is pretty much irrefutable proof that that whole 40-yr-old man thing was just a rumor. Can you believe that even after a couple of good-sized earthquakes, my mug remains unbroken, even though it leapt off the shelf once w

Psst....Alison....try "Patrick"

Candy Floss, dear, you can make your point just as effectively in your topic title without resorting to all capitals, which is generally considered the online equivalent of screaming at people. No offense, but some of us were napping..... I've adjusted your volume a bit.

Let me add my own welcome.... always great to meet new friends with such great musical taste!

I'll bet you'd try to pay in Canadian dollars or something. What is the deal with that thread anyway? I tried to read it but my eyes started to water like I was peeling onions, so I had to stop.

I'm very sorry you can't make it, Melissa! But we'll find a show to attend together eventually. I suggest everybody keep their calendars open for Red Rocks, CO.....a stellar venue for a big VC party. It's still in the rumor stage, but rumors are usually true, right?

I've been doing a lot of thread-merging of late.

I look forward to meeting you!
