I don't see any harm in bikedewd having asked, at the one-week mark, whether the show had emerged.....we've all had our impatient moments with shows we loved and wanted to re-hear. I appreciate that he did wait before asking. No need for anybody to get antagonistic here.....live & let live, and let's try to remember that it's hard to judge anyone's tone from smilies and the printed word. One of the critical flaws of communicating as an internet community. I think we can all agree that we hope a recording turns up soon. Now, can't we all just get along?

It's early yet, so I wouldn't assume that. It may just take awhile to emerge.....sometimes there are problems the taper needs to correct, and sometimes the tapers just get busy with their lives. I'm hoping along with you.

Here is a link to the coverart for froggie and anyone else who wanted it: Covers Project coverart

Thank you for your time & effort, High Fives. Generous of you!

Cake is in order! Happy Birthday, isavedlatin!

I'll get it put up at WilcoBase. Turns out it only needs a tiny bit of work.

I'd have to listen again, don't remember Tweedy's "Ha".....been awhile since I've heard this collection....but "I Wanna Be Sedated" is on Someone Else's Songs & it's great.

Dylan who? Froggie, did you ever get the cover art I made for that? I keep meaning to do some final touch-ups to that (it's only made in slim case form right now) and then give it to WilcoBase to put up. It's Jeff, as someone else. ...in disguise.

There's also the terrific collection our own Pneyu put together back in late 2002, called "Someone Else's Songs - The Covers Project". I'll treat you to a copy if you will share it along to someone else on the board. (Get it? Someone Else's Songs! )

Thank you, all you sweet people, but really I just wanted to throw some appreciation Maddie's way, because I think that was such a very cool & thoughtful thing for her to have done for me. It was the very first time she'd gotten to talk to Jeff after a show, and she spent part of that time just trying to make a friend happy. Neato. There should be more people like her in the world.....and thank you also to Jeff and Scott for the well-wishes and for going along with Maddie's little plot! She even mailed from Birmingham before she left...the envelope bears the Birmingham postmark.

Forgive me, Mende, I knew what you meant. I'm just in a bit of a smartass mood.

You don't?

Ok, so I got some very nice cards for my birthday last week, but today I received a belated one that would be hard to top. It's a gorgeous shimmery green and silver card. The front shows a tall birthday cake & the word "Celebrate!" But the inside is best. On my birthday, January 27th, Scott McCaughey (opening as "The Minus 2") and Jeff Tweedy played a show at the Alabama Theatre in Birmingham, AL. It seems a certain beloved pal of mine named Bonnie (known to you all as Maddie Hope) snagged the guys following the show, and gave them the card to sign! So I've got warm birthday wishes fro

Happy birthday, Mike. Now have your cake: and Edith, too: Get it, have your cake and Edith too? Oh never mind.

Dumbledore gets better. Now you two quit sniping. Or is it Snaping?

This breaks my heart. She was incredible.

Bonnie, that photo is priceless!

No Tried that...several times

Ok, I'm about to just give up here. I've never had a problem getting a webcast before, but I can't get this one at all. Quicktime starts up, does the loading countdown, then the words "switching transports" come up, and nothing further happens. I don't even know what "switching transports" means. WTF????? HELP!

Jeff's a nondrinker. Sounds like the crowd was a really nice one. Anybody have The Minus 5 setlist?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......I love his bit with the big flip-pad! He's brilliant.

Here you go: Wham-O

These days they are more commonly called "High-Bounce balls". The originals were about 2" in diameter, made of rock-hard pure black rubber, and were really dangerous. You could put an eye out and stuff. They were basically rocks that bounced. If you threw one down hard, you could easily get a fifteen foot bounce out of it. Before superballs, balls were just balls, and fairly boring. And somehow the now-common hi-bounce balls that you find everywhere just don't have the same magic. The big ones here are the ones I'm remembering nostalgically:

Patience Wheelco, the cooler stays locked until the actual day of the show.
