Yay! You know that I'll be trying on Friday too! As Steve Earle said, "I ain't ever satisfied"!

You tossed back F? Damn, yopu don't play!!

Yeah, so in retrospect that was a really dumbass move on my part. I'm going to try again tomorrow, but if you do end up with some decent extras, check with me before you sell them to some random!

you need an alarm to wake up by 9:30?

I'm amazed by people who don't need one to wake up by 9:30.

Anyone else seeing them in Clearwater, FL? Have any luck with presale?

I'm planning on going, but I didn't get tickets this morning. Hopefully Friday will go smoothly!

Well, I had promised myself that I'd only buy tix through the presale if rows A-C came up, and I'm sticking to it dammit! If row F is the best I can do on Friday, I'll definitely stick with those.

4 at the ATL Fox left center orchestra row k and 2 at Ruth Eckerd in Clearwater dead center row k. I was too late for Durham, so I'll try again at Ticketmaster. My good streak continues. I can't complain. I was worried about going for 4 in the ATL. I wonder what 2 would have wrought? I'm a greedy bastard!!

 

The 'Evening With Wilco' in Royal Oak back in July was excellent. I'm expecting these to be even better what with the planning. Enjoy, ya'll.

See you in Clearwater, hopefully! I threw back row K and row F because I want to try my luck on Friday.

I voted!

I tried, but I really can't get past the guy's voice.

ps no children should be exposed blue or otherwise

Yeah, I can't understand a word of Panther's posts.

I thought Panthers was worried about child pornography, not radiation.

Here's an article, in English, about this concern (from the Telegraph):

Full body scanners may break child pornography laws

The full body scanners being introduced to Britain's airports risk breaking child protection laws against making indecent images of children, campaign groups have claimed.

By Heidi Blake

The pictures created by the scanners are so graphic they are tantamount to "virtual strip searching", according to privacy campaigners who oppose the use of the security devices.

 

Ministers may be forced to consider making under-18s exempt from the scans and civil liberties campaigners are demanding measures to ensure the images, which will include those of celebrities, are not leaked onto the internet.

 

Airport officials say the images from the £80,000 scanners are only seen by a single security officer in a remote location before it is deleted.

 

But a 12-month trial at Manchester airport of scanners which reveal naked images of passengers only went ahead last month after children were exempted.

 

The decision came after Terri Dowty, of Action for Rights of Children, gave warning that the scanners could breach the Protection of Children Act 1978, under which it is illegal to create an indecent image or a "pseudo-image" of a child.

 

A spokesman for the Department for Transport told The Guardian: "We understand the concerns expressed about privacy in relation to the deployment of body scanners. It is vital staff are properly trained and we are developing a code of practice to ensure these concerns are properly taken into account.

 

Gordon Brown gave the go-ahead at the weekend for the scanners to be rolled out across all Britain's major airports, and said travellers would see the gradual introduction of full-body scans and hand luggage checks for traces of explosives.

 

The Prime Minister told the BBC that the Government would do everything in its power to tighten security following the attempt by Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to detonate a bomb on a plane bound for the USA on Christmas Day.

 

BAA, which runs six UK airports, said it would now install the devices "as soon as is practical" at Heathrow.

 

A spokesman said: "It is our view that a combination of technology, intelligences and passenger profiling will help build a more robust defence against the unpredictable and changing nature of the terrorist threat to aviation."

 

But he added that nothing had yet been decided on exactly which passengers would undergo the full body scans, and declined to comment on how soon BAA would be extending the use of scanners to other airports.

That's my setup, and I love it. I have the '60s strat from the Classic Player series...got it right before Fender's price increase last year.

 

Now that is a pretty guitar! If I could play, I'd be all over something like that.

watched this last night.....it was intense.

Just watched this after seeing your post...truly heartbreaking.

I prefer Ticket to Ride.

 

I love me some Ticket to Ride! We usually play the Europe edition.

After reading this thread, I'm intrigued by Settlers of Catan...I may have to add that to the collection.

I'm probably forgetting something awesome, but here goes:

Tweedy @ Foellinger Auditorium in Champaign

The Decemberists @ the Singletary Center, Lexington, KY

The Tallest Man on Earth @ Southgate House, Newport KY

The Avett Brothers @ the Ryman, Nashville (the Covington and Louisville shows were pretty great, too, now that I think about it)

U2 @ Raymond James Stadium, Tampa

Wilco @ Tennessee Theater, Knoxville

 

certainly mellower overall and not quite as fun as the debut, but still some pretty good songs and i'm enjoying it on this blistery winter day. the last song (I Think UR A Contra) might be my favorite on the record actually.

 

it's streaming on their MySpace now too i guess

Downloading now!

Yeah, Ruth Freakin' Eckerd Hall. Best acoustics around here by a long shot!

Glad to hear that...I'll be there!

I'm guessing 10am venue time.

visually stunning but the story was weak and the dialogue typical James Cameron cheese.

 

$500 million to make and Cameron couldn't buy a decent script?

Yeah, it was definitely heavy-handed as far as the story is concerned, but despite the complete lack of subtlety/being hit over the head with the message, I was thoroughly entertained for 2.5 hours.

Happy birthday, Kyle!!

Let us be in extra celebration for this prime reason with Abba pic placed in window to add to the Jew with pointy candelabra display and those of Christian way with baby in mangle diorama and the funny old man all "Yo Ho" and pie gobbling. Happy to all this special day friends!

Love the Beatles ornament!

Thanks! It's one of my favorites on there.

Where are the kitties?!!?

Kitty ornaments, or the actual kitties? I have no kitty ornaments, and the tree is in the mud room this year so the real kitties don't have access to it. I got really tired of Jasper knocking it over and breaking ornaments last year.

I'll participate!

I can remove Monaco!
