Yeah the dude is an asshole anyway. Not going to associate myself with him anymore anyway, and his days are pretty much numbered in the band he is in now. At least Chris wants me to open for them again sometime.

Not well. First of all, the weekend before the speakers of the place got blown, but the contiuned to use them anyway. Then, because of that, my guitar couldn't be heard. So, I ended up playing on the guitar one of the guys in my friend's band doesn't use. The 1st 2 songs went GREAT. i was rocking, and people liked it. I settled into a nice grove by the 3rd song, and outta nowhere here comes the guitar player in the band i was opening up for. He grabs MY acoustic and sits on a stool behind me and starts playing along. At first i thought he might be tuning his guitar based on mine or something,

i am strangely facinated by his blog. those swords are freakin scary

yeah, i think my problem can sometimes be talking too much in between songs! the music is going. since i got my macbook i have written about 6 songs, some of them alright, some of them not so good. i'll try and put some of the new stuff up on that music myspace thing soon... if anybody is interested to hear my sound my myspace music page is www.myspace.com/sarahchastain17 the demos on there are super rough and not that great. most were done 2 years ago before i started voice lessons. i am so much better now... thanks for all the advice and well wishes. i wish we had a camcorder to

Hey guys, So I finally landed a gig in a bar! I am opening for my friends Chris McKay and the Critical Darlings on August 22nd at the Rye Bar in Athens Georgia. Does anybody know fun things to do in Athens? Anybody live in the area and wanna come out to the show?? It should be fun. Sarah PS- Any advice on playing in an actual bar? (I'm guessing it will be a bit different than playing in a pizza place)

I am with you on that, MH...I asked Jeff to play it in Nashville, we didn't get it, but the next night they got it... oy.

i have talked to jeff after all but one of the wilco/solo shows i have seen and he is always so nice, and very funny. they are all super nice guys, and you can tell that they care a lot about fans, just like we care about them....

i would have loved to have seen that!!

i am going to take a bunch of pictures this weekend in shirts

sorry i am late to the party! happy birthday KATE!!!!!!!!!!!!

that made my day. darn having to work yesterday...

i love the new songs, but wilco could play "you are my sunshine" on kazoos and i would love it... i love the new songs, but wilco could play "you are my sunshine" on kazoos and i would love it...

the bad thing is that your ipod was set to sync. when you plug it in to your fixed computer and open itunes it will erase your music in all probability... that happened to my sister's ipod twice, then we learned to set it to manual. if you can plug your ipod in without it automatically syncing you should be able to go into it (assuming your ipod is set up for disk use) like a normal hard drive. there is a set of folders that are hidden which is where your music is. you might have to click around a bit. i can't remember what they're called right now. so if you know how to open the hidden folder

i need to think of something good.... edit- submitted my wilco birthday ninjas picture. *fingers crossed*

both openers were very good. the spring standards are from NYC, and rhett actually co-produced their record. they were enjoyable. sleepercar was okay...they're from el paso (i think). i enjoyed their set considerabely less than the spring standards. the 97's were tight, in fact, i think it's the best they've ever sounded. though, that could be because i'd not seen them in 3 years.

i wish they were doing an in-store in nashville. thought about making it to ATL too, but it would cause me to miss 3 out of 4 class days... not happening. stupid stat class. i am SUPER excited for this Wends. The Mercy Lounge is a fun place to see a show, especially a show by a band I haven't seen since 2005.

somebody on the new Old 97's message board, i think he may even post here, gave away one of Phillip's drumsticks to a person who wrote a note about what the 97's mean to them. i thought that was really sweet and generous. it was nice to see somebody giving something away that could mean so much to another fan. maybe that's what you should do, man. that being said, i am a poor college student too, and i don't go around selling my wilco stuff. that's why there are jobs, you know...go work at a starbucks or a target.... they are always looking for college age employees. i have a jeff tweedy

My sister and I might try to make the Bijou show...

i'll tune in.

I have been excited about seeing them in September since I first heard about it in May... Would it be bad taste to wear a Wilco shirt to this show?

saw it monday and LOVED it! wow. i am stoked to go see it again with my family this weekend

i saw him a few months ago too. got to meet him before the show, and he was a super guy. really really nice, and honestly i thought he would be an asshole. the show was amazing! he played for nearly 2 hours. we got to see him at a very tiny venue in chattanooga 5 rows back and it was incredible. the new songs he played were great. def go see him if he plays in your area, the only bummer is the steep tickets. $40 a piece. EDIT- i have the I

Congrats Glenn!! yay babies!
