  1. Is it a safe assumption that Metropolis in Montreal will be all GA? The Wilco/Frontgate site is less than informative for that show. But I’ve never seen a show there with reserved seating. If that’s the case, I will probably forgo the presale. It shouldn’t be that hard a ticket (famous last words).
  2. If past practice is any indication, there will be more dates

  4. And don't give up!!! Just because the system tells you there are no tickets at 10:01, that doesn't mean you won't get some at 10:04, 10:09, or 10:17. Keep trying. Yeah - I suspect that Ryman show will be a crazy hard ticket.
  5. Totally owe you one. I really appreciate this.
  6. Montreal! Nick Lowe! Nice - I can already predict the first encore. And preorders coming July 26! http://wilco.kungfustore.com/categories/27-pre-orders
  7. I don't have a copy (not yet anyway) but as a guess, it's a collector thing. I would guess that the centre piece would pop out if you wanted to pop it out and if you want to leave it as is, you can.
  8. Bruce Springsteen said of Clarence: Clarence lived a wonderful life. He carried within him a love of people that made them love him. He created a wondrous and extended family. He loved the saxophone, loved our fans and gave everything he had every night he stepped on stage. His loss is immeasurable and we are honored and thankful to have known him and had the opportunity to stand beside him for nearly forty years. He was my great friend, my partner, and with Clarence at my side, my band and I were able to tell a story far deeper than those simply contained in our music. His life,his memory, a
  9. http://www.backstreets.com/news.html from Backstreets, very postive news: "MIRACLES ARE HAPPENING" The latest out of Florida has Clarence Clemons in better condition than anyone expected, a close friend tells Backstreets: "Yesterday, it did not look good at all. Today... miracles are happening. His vital signs are improving. He's responsive. His eyes are welling up when we're talking to him. He was paralyzed on his left side, but now he's squeezing with his left hand. This is the best news we've heard since [the stroke] happened — it's nothing short of miraculous. The next five days will
  10. hey my class is cancelled thursday so I'm going to come home for the weekend
  11. I don't know anything about the Pearl Jam system but things were quite odd here in Ottawa. I was trying to grab a single ticket, during a presale and the public onsale. I tried for quite some time and not one floor ticket came up the whole time - not even a single floor at the back of the hall. If you look at Stubhub, nobody has floors for sale for that show. And at one point during a non-10 Club presale here, a message started popping up stating that the limit for the Pearl Jam presale was 2 tickets. No clue why the Pearl Jam presale would be an issue on the Ottawa ticket system (Capital
  12. Gil played at the Ottawa Jazz Festival last summer. He was so charming and just seemed to love performing. RIP.
  13. Another bus missed. Any 10 Club member wanna buy me tickets for Ottawa show?
  14. What I wanna know is how far in advance they know what the "secret ingredient" is. The way it's edited makes it seem like they find out that they have to cook with cheese or lobster or whatever and 20 seconds later, with no communication with their team, they're doing 5 courses.
  15. Where was Springsteen playing the other day?
  16. also What Light bw Let's Not Get Carried Away
  17. If anybody wants to pick up a copy of this for me at the festival, I'll gladly pay for postage, handling, etc. Should probably arrange in advance so I don't get 7 copies cheers
  18. I don't think Hillside will ever surpass the year with Arcade Fire, Weakerthans, Josh Ritter, Stars, Broken Social Scene, Hidden Cameras. 2005? I think a lot of the local folkies hated that year but it was a magic weekend.
  19. Just love Gotta Have Something in 4/4 Time off that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQyET_7SSXY
  20. I read somewhere that was supposed to be free. Some places were selling it for $9.
  21. Didn't see any copies of Big Star here. Went to 3 places but none of the stores here got them.
  22. Or maybe they remain pristine 'cause you never play them.
  23. I worked in #33 (when there was only one record out front)
