watchtower41 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Flying into Louisville on Friday from Chicago for front row!!! I've been extatic about this show ever since it was announced, and even more excited since I saw the fellas last week at the crazy Millennium Park show. Went to the Iroqouis Park show last fall with my friend from Louisville for her first Wilco show, she obviously loved it, and with me being a HUGE baseball fan as well, the Slugger Field show this year was a no-brainer. Promises to be a great show, no doubt. Hoping they keep bumping these golden oldies Also heading to the Louisville football game vs Syracuse on Saturday. Can't wait!

theashtraysays Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Assuming the Canadian Post Office comes through, I plan to be there as well.... (Thanks again, Sarchi.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
os83 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I'll be sitting in the first row of the upper deck. Having been to countless baseball games there I know the view from up there (since it's so low for an "upper deck") is superior to the back rows down below. I just hope the sound is equally good...either way, since I've seen them before I'm just excited to see them in such a cool place in my hometown. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
W(TF) Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Assuming the Canadian Post Office comes through, I plan to be there as well.... (Thanks again, Sarchi.) Don't forget, the USPS takes it from the border to your door. Canada's to blame for a lot of things, but not everything. lol p.s. I believe you'll be sitting right behind the O.P. Also - this will be simulcast on Siruis, so shout loud you guys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(hopefully they will play knoxville sooner or later, huh?) boo for tests! i haven't seen them since knoxville the spring before last. but hopefully they come back again soon. i was expecting they would, but apparently there's a deal that you can't play anywhere within the vicinity of bonnaroo a certain time period before and after the festival occurs. so i guess that's why they haven't played knoxville on this tour.

theashtraysays Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 If anyone has an idea for a pre-show meet up that would be nice. I'm driving up from Lexington for this and would also love to meet up. Johnny said he's a "maybe" as well, and he was going to check with some folks in LVL for a recommendation. Does anybody have a favorite place in that part of town? Vince Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j4lackey Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Here is what my aunt said when I asked her about places around the stadium: "At Slugger Field is Browning's pub. The food is always good. The micro brewis sometimes good sometimes not. They have a full bar as well. Right across the river, I would use the 2nd St bridge if I were alreadydowntown or you can cross at the I65 bridge is a Kingfish, and Buckheads andRocky's Sub Pub. All three of them are good and they over look the river. Agreat sky line. all three also have outdoor eating. Buckheads has the bestbeer list of those three." I will explore furthur unless someone else has suggestions. The weather is supposed to be great! Maybe a little warm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
