Wilco Worshipper Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Yea, so I met this lovely (hehe) fella from Oregon yesterday on my first day here. I'm just curious if there are any local people. It's so few and very, very far between that I can even find someone in the area who even KNOWS who Wilco is... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilco Worshipper Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hello, I used to live in MA. Dracut, Ma. Next to Lowell. Now I live in Hudson, NH. Kristofor Well, Kristofor...it looks like I was 4 rows behind you dead center in November '05. My friends and I had some not so great seats way in the back. My friends fiance waited just a tad too long to order out tickets. We bought four, can't remember why. So we had this fourth extra ticket. My friend decided she would go out front to get face value or even just give it away, better than a ticket going to waste, right?!? Well, she ended up talking to some guys who had extra tickets. It looked no one was going to be able to get rid of anything they had. So she asked if she could trade hers for one of theirs. It happened to be SIXTH ROW CENTER!!! She knows what a die-hard fan I am. So while I'm just getting over Glenn's incredible opening. She comes in and says "Here, you're going up front!" I was freaking out!!! I was also very confused, because I didn't quite understand what had just happened. Once I realized...I end up crying, I was soooooooooo overwhelmed. I cried all the way down to my new seat. I think of of the guys' names was Scott. I said "Thank you" along with a lot of probably inaudible things It was the most INCREDIBLE show I have ever been to...and probably ever will...

Mr. Tony Margaritatime Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Dear New England VCers, I've been dying to go on a road trip for a good while now. I've decided to forgo the Merriweather Post show here, and head up to your neck of the woods for the VT show, and for good measure the problably the Boston show too. I've never been to Boston, so I was wondering if any of you peeps could recommend places to stay and some must do eat and see kind of stuff. I'm pretty sure I'm coming up there by myself from DC. I'd be interested in meeting some of our fellow VCers if you guys want to hang (message me if you be interested) Thanks, Jonathan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
