    Fall 2023 Dates?

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    Yes, Pasadena Julie!

    Well at least you're inside the venue, right? Or should I say, left? :lol

     

    Also just a note...somebody really needs to work up a decent Ace seat map! That thing was useless. Blurry and unreadable. I still don't really know where one pair of my seats is...orch left but how left I don't know. Needs further research. (So maybe I shouldn't find your situation so funny until I check my own.:blush)

    Well, I'm ticketed for 3 of the 4 L.A. shows and while my Visa didn't burst into flames, it IS still hot to the touch and smoking a little! :P The ticket prices are fine; it's all the add-ons making it so expensive...venue fees and convenience fees and Our Stockholders Expect More from You fees. I think it worked out to about $108 per ticket. Ow. 

     

    I know it will be worth it though, come October!

    Watching Junior Drive - Jay Bennett

    Me and a friend of mine where having a discussion about Jay Bennett and we got to talking about the song "Watching Junior drive."  So we went to find it and couldn't.  I couldn't even remember what album it was on to go see if my long forgotten CD collection had it somewhere.  Does anyone know where I could track this down?

     

     

    Hey Kevin!

    I have to apologize because my reply above is wrong. I found my copy of Magnificent Defeat & it isn't on there. I know I have it but now I suspect it must be on a burned disc someone made for me. At any rate, here is the correct information for it: it was only ever released on a promo disc from that era:

     

    Jay Bennett - "Replace You + 5"

    Promo disc only

    Rykodisc PRCDV-20880

    Released 2006

     

    I spoke yesterday to Jay's dear friend & collaborator, Edward Burch, and Edward confirmed that it was only ever on that promo disc..."for now", as he added. He & I both think it's such a good song that it should get wider release! Maybe some future collection of Jay's music will make it more readily available. Good luck hunting down the promo disc. :spider2

    Live! Tonight!!

    Down from Boston for the night, with my best buddy, who hasn’t seen them since ‘03. Should be fun…

     

    I'd love to hear your buddy's perspective on the live band now versus 2003! Have a great time!:rock

    and... Sky Blue Sky 2023 is a go!


    (weird that no one posted about it already... slackers! or just indifferent?)

     

    I was waiting for you to post about it. B)

    Nah, I should've but I've got family emergencies going on (everybody is mostly ok) so I've been distracted. I do appreciate you posting about it. It's a very nice lineup and I'm trying to convince myself I can afford it. I wish it wasn't in December but I suppose that's the sweet season down there.

    Bad day for this question. Just started another round of chemo on Thursday. It's really nasty stuff. Will have another 4+ hour IV in 2 weeks then none for 4 months. Questionable if it's working at this point. As a bonus it's putting me into the poor house due to our fine medical insurance system. I'm running out of fight & am trying to figure out if  it's worth trying. Sorry to be Dougie Downer. I'm not in a good place right now. Hope everyone else is doing better than that.

     

    Oh jeez, Chuck, I'm so sorry you're having such a rough go of it! The American medical system is a crock. I can't believe we haven't done anything to correct the situation. You are far from alone. I hope the chemo has good effects. Be very gentle with yourself, and don't put any demands on yourself other than to rest and heal. Nothing else is important right now. We love you!

    How Are You Weathering These Times?

    The world is so different lately from almost anything you might call "normal". A LOT of struggling going on. :unsure

    I hope my beloved friends & fellow Wilco fans are alright, muddling through, but I feel like there's absolutely NO shame in if that isn't the case. Jeebus, times're tough. We are all tasked with holding it together in a world that's insane. Is this how it felt for my dad in 1943?

    My point being, how's it going? How are you, personally? I'm okay. Trying to get my garden in the ground early after a couple summers of my gardens frying in insane 116 degree temps. Not normal, thanks, climate change. :brow

    Politics are horrible. So much wrongheadedness and wasted time at a pivotal time in history! SO Frustrating!

    Covid isn't over, so that caution governs my life still.

    I'm so goddam tired just persevering. 

     

    Anyway, I'm pretty good, given our circumstances, but I'd love to hear how the rest of you are faring. We don't live in an easy world.

    Let's talk about it. How're you all dealing?
