Just got tickets to the Lincoln.  I'm not too hip on the general admission seating, but it should be pretty cool. 

The Merriweather pre-sale started today at 9.

 

They had a misprint in their email. You can log on now and grab tickets. PW is chicago. GA floor definitely available.

That must be why I was able to get tickets for the pavillion on the first try. Nice. I was at the 2007 show and it was a hell of an entertaining evening.

Also, we can customize the 2010 calendar and republish for 2011. That's what I do for my calendar offerings. Choice is good.

Not in some time, no. I can look at it now, though.

Now that I've looked, I can say it is a nice start. Zazzle has a bunch of new products to design for now, though, including Christmas ornaments and drink coasters.

probbaly is so outside of requirments but here is some of my digital art .. I have lots My link

You have some awesome stuff there! Nice work! You should consider setting up your own store and seeing what you can do. Stop giving it away for free on Flickr and make some money. It provides me a nice supplemental income every month. In fact, I made enough this year to pay for a huge hunk of my wedding last month.

We don't have to be limited to just calendars. We can also use the Zazzle Quick Create tool to make t-shirts, mousepads, coffee mugs, post cards, beer steins, magnets, baby clothes, trucker hats, doggie shirts, and cloth grocery bags. I have over 2,000 pages of products, so I'm pretty familiar with how to do it and volunteer to make actual products with folks' donated original photos, art, drawings, sketches, paintings, etc. If we open it up beyond just images for a calendar, perhaps that will spark some creativity.

Outside of the Quick Create products, they also now have iPad and iPhone cases.

The art, photos, etc. must be original and can not be copyrighted or trademarked. We'll need to gather information about everything donated such as artist/photog name, name of piece, maybe date created, and a brief description that is keyword rich.

Not to give myself a plug, but if you check out my store, you can get a better idea of the variety of products available: Scenes from the Past

I got two. Tried internet and phone, internet worked. Was on hold with Ticketbastard until well after 10.

Do they still require passwords for the pre-sales? I'm shooting for the Strathmore show in Bethesda. Can someone PM me the password for the pre-sale for Wed, Jan. 6, if there is one?

Thanks,

I will help in anyway that I can.

Well, this might be a long shot, but there are a ton of photogs around these parts that have taken some pretty sweet shots at shows, right? Why not make a VC sponsored calendar? If someone could get permission, it might be a good way for the VC Zazzle store to get some revenue and support the board.

Here is one that I made and it is selling pretty nicely.

It's available in my Zazzle shop.

I can help with assembly, etc., if required.

Anyway,

I noticed that too!

Last week he was wearing the black "Road Tee"

Speaking of t-shirts, one of the guys on Storm Chasers on Discovery HD had a yellow Wilco shirt on in the episode we watched yesterday. They were chasing tornadoes in Arkansas.

Our good friend Jay Walter Bennett left us this weekend. As news hits the wires so instantaneously these days, we thought it was important to share some thoughts about our friend and brother before any rumors got out of hand.

First, let it be known that Jay was in a really good place these past few years. He had returned to the area he loved--the

Those going to Wolf Trap don't forget to request a song! I requested "How to Fight Loneliness."

My first car was a silver 1978 Pontiac Grand LeMans. Had good times backroading in that beast...

Didn't get DE tickets.

I wish they had will call at Wolf Trap instead of paying $8.50 for shipping when I live 15 minutes away. Ah well... 'tis worth the price of admission.

That is awesome. I just finished reading "Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone?: The Carter Family & Their Legacy in American Music" by Mark Zwonitzer with Charles Hirshberg. (Excellent read, btw.)

There is a good story about how Hank almost killed June Carter.

Anyway, I hope they have some Carter Family material I haven't heard yet.

...Full Disclosure: I work at the Clarice Smith Center. Sorry if this post comes off as shameless promotion, but I thought you'd want to know now instead of after the fact when one of your friends talks about how great it was.

My g.f. works at SCPA and we've got our tickets already! Amanda and I will be there...

There's an A&W drive-in just up the road from where I work -- only open during the warm months, though. They still have the glass tankards, carhops, the whole deal.

Out in Dexter, right?

I just saw Glenn last week, so I'll definitely try to go to his show in NYC when it comes around.

How was the show? We just got tix for MD. $14 for the pair. Nice.

I got a first row seat for the Philadelphia show. This will be my first time seeing Glenn other than with Wilco, but after passing up the chance to see the Bang on a Can All-Stars with Lee Ranaldo this past summer, I don't want to miss them again.

Oh, very cool. Thanks for posting this. My g.f. actually works at the performing arts library connected to the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center at MD. Are tickets on sale already then? I'll have to have her look.

I saw Glenn perform selections from Mobile at Kalamazoo College a couple years ago and he was awesome.
