Um, wow. I've been away from the board for a really long time, and even when I was here, I was mostly a lurker. Still, reading about Nat's death is stunning. I always enjoyed her posts, the Sentient Action Figures, and her outlook on life. My thoughts and prayers go out to those of you who were close to here, and hope you've found peace.

WFPK is also fond of playing a special hour of "the Uncle Tupelo family tree" anytime Wilco, Jay Farrar, Jay Bennet, etc come to town.

Cook's Illustrated, and I'm going to subscribe to Interweave Crochet as soon as it's available. We also get Time, although I don't know why, and it's due to run out this month, I think. My husband's uncle subscribed us to a couple of firearms magazines for Christmas a couple of years ago and didn't even tell us about it! About 6 months later his uncle asked which one he liked better... I had thrown most of them out without looking at them, because I knew my husband didn't want them anyway.

The reviews I've read of this have not been favorable. One Two

Here's the review from the local paper: Courier Journal Review Enthusiastic Wilco shines shines at Iroquois at Iroquois By Paul Curry Special to The Courier-Journal Wilco's Sunday night appearance at the Iroquois Amphitheatre was an expensive gamble. With tickets pushing the $30 mark in a venue subject to the whims of the weather and a music community that has fallen out of the habit of seeing high-ranking national acts, everybody involved, from the promoters to the patrons and performers, had a lot on the line. But while the stakes were high, the night came through like an inside st

Hey Jeremy!!! How have you been?

It's here.

I wasn't planning on going to Gomez. I'm all out of concert funds, with Wilco twice this last weekend and My Morning Jacket coming up in November. Let me know if you want to meet up! ~Kelley

Hey, I live in Germantown! I've been to a few Live Lunches. They have such a great little performance space. If they could get JT to do one... There have been a few bigger names that they've done that were members only to avoid a mob. I didn't get a Jay Bennet flyer, but he's playing Uncle Pleasant's on Oct 23 (Monday). Where do you live now? You must be close enough to keep coming to shows. When do you think you'll get in town Thursday? Maybe my husband and I could meet you for a beer? I saw at least one taper, maybe two.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I think Louisville's really underrated, but I'm biased since I live here. Come back and spend more time, and maybe I can show you around some (that goes for anyone else too).

I don't think many VCers were at this one... It was pretty good. I didn't get a set list (oops), but it was similar to the Tall Stacks show, with the addition of Jesus Christ for President, Poor Places/ Reservations (and probably some others), and they didn't play Forget the Flowers. When the band came back after the girl threw her panties, he asked her, "Was that you? I'm mortified for you." But then said it was "refreshing" and like "the glory days." I'm not good at reviews, so I'll leave it at that for now, and maybe I'll try to reconstruct a setlist. mchchef, I'm glad you enjoyed our

Jen, when will you be there? I live in Louisville, about an hour and a half south, and, depending on the day, could maybe meet you somewhere. I will confess that I don't know much about Indy, but I'm sure the hotel will have lots of info. ~Kelley

I'm going to Louisville the next night too!!! You can buy tickets to get in at the gate. It's a 5 day general admission pass for $25, and you can't buy one day passes. I've never heard of it selling out.

I might see Old Crow. I'm taking a friend of mine who hasn't heard Wilco or any of the other bands. If it's not AC/DC, Kiss, or Aerosmith, he probably hasn't heard it...

I think this album is definitely going to take a few listens to get into. At first listen, I don't really get it. Guero was the same way for me though.

poortranslator, it sucks that your parents won't let you go to Tall Stacks. I've been before, and it's plenty safe. The festival's big, as you know, and there definitely are a lot of people and security around. I hope you can change your parents' minds. Checking out the website would be a good idea for them. That said, I'll be there too!

It absolutely is! I don't live far from it, not walking distance, but 5 miles or so. Louisville has so many great parks it's almost ridiculous, but that's part of what makes us so great!

I'll be at Tall Stacks!

I'm in row U also, but that's all I remember. I had to do mine on the phone from work, since I don't have computer access there. I don't care too much where the seats are, as long as it's Wilco.

Belated I hope your exhibit went well too. I wanted to stop by, but I ended up having to work, although I did think of you as I passed the exit on my way too and from Florence, KY Sunday and Monday. And you have some great new paintings on the website!

The venue for the Tall Stacks show is the Tall Stacks festival. The pass gets you in for all four days, and the show will be GA. So, no, you're not screwed. Wilco's playing Saturday night, after Old Crow Medicine Show. Tall Stacks Louisville is Sunday, but the venue doesn't have any info up on the show yet.

Thanks for posting that! That means I get them at Tall Stacks and at home!!!!!!!

I was wondering what happened to her, but I didn't know if we were allowed to talk about it...
