aricandover Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 wilco's myspace bulletin: We're sorry to report that our good friend and Wilco guitarist extraordinaire Nels Cline has recently contracted a rather nasty case of the CHICKEN POX (not sure that should be in all caps... but judging from the gruesome details in email correspondence we've had with NC, we'll leave it so). He is slowly on the mend but is not quite there yet, necessitating postponement of the Duluth, Minnesota show scheduled for this Tuesday night. That date will be rescheduled for Tuesday, September 4 and all tickets for the original date will be honored. Refunds will also be available to those of you unable to attend the Sept. 4 show. The show scheduled for this Wednesday in Winnipeg, Manitoba will either be postponed or canceled but will NOT take place as scheduled. Details on refunds coming shortly. We apologize for the inconvenience... but we're really glad Nels seems to be over the hump and hope to see you out there soon. Regretfully, the Wilco HQ staff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to all who had tix, I would be super upset right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 i'm not too too bummed... so far Sept 4th looks to work better than tomorrow was anyhow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edie Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 While I would be upset, adult chicken pox is nothing to mess with. Get well and feel better Nels! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tanner Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 While I would be upset, adult chicken pox is nothing to mess with. Get well and feel better Nels! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! Me and a few friends have been looking forward to this for a while...damnit. The great irony of it all is that we were joking that something like this would happen...

pillowy star Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Get better soon, Nels Sorry for all that had tickets and travel arrangements, I know how much "no cancellation, no refund"- airfares/hotels can suck sometimes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tanner Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Well, not that there could be any consolation to the others in mourning, but Arcade Fire is coming to St. Paul on September 30th. It sucks I won't be able to see the make-up because I'm moving to Milwaukee. I haven't been this bummed since my dog died. I will make it my life mission to find a cure for the adult chicken pox.

twever Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Dang, that really bites. Was so looking forward to the show tomorrow night with a pre-show bar-b-q on the deck and friends coming up from the twin cities. At least the show wasn't cancelled - just have to wait a few more weeks for the return to Duluth. Hoping for a full and speedy recovery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 well, hopefully we get Dr. Dog opening for the replacement show edit: nm, Sep 4 2007 7:00P The Trocadaro (supporting Dinosaur Jr.) oh well Haven't looked to see if they're on tour at that time, but if not, I'd hazard at least a guess that Low might wind up opening in Duluth (which would be cool). Get well soon, Nels! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 So, did you miss those two other threads? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Get well soon, Nels! yeah, i checked already hehe they're free, but so is Richard Swift, and he's still with Wilco as of 9/2, so we'll see Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edie Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 i've never had them myself either Get thee to the vaccine, pronto! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markosis Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Well, this would explain why Nels had to cancel last Tuesday's gig with Jenny Schienman in Philly. The guy that filled in for him was awesome, but to see Nels up there would have been sweet. Get well soon you German bastard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

virtualreason Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 My sister and I just got into Duluth after driving from Milwaukee and JUST found out. SO bummed out. And I tried googling where the make-up date is, but I can't find a site. Is it in Minneapolis or Duluth or where? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tugmoose Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Well, Jay Bennett never missed a show because of "chicken pox." My guess is NC's broken up over the whole Karl Rove thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brettac1 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I hope Swift is still opening. I was really, really looking forward to seeing him. Now I have to put in another vacation request for those days. Get well, Nels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keylime Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Yikes! Chicken pox is a bummer, I hope he doesn't have any in his mouth or on the bottoms of his feet...because that, my friends, is utterly dreadful. Feel better Nels!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
