auria Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I wanna be in a group too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 A friend of mine who lives in the suburbs of Chicago and has a nice big basement would like to host a show. If there's enough people there might just be another group bidding this year. More money for the charity, right? PM me if you are interested in joining a group. We'll see what materializes.

Blossom Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hey people! I am the friend of Wendy's with the spacious lower level set up. We have hosted these types of house concerts before and are very comfortable with the process. If we can get enough folks together - and if Jeff would do it - I would so love to have some Wilco friends bless our home. And as far as the music goes, wow, let's just say I hope it penetrates the walls and floors and ceiling and roof and...........limitless possibilites. Wendy has kindly offered to keep track of the number of people spilling out of the first group into our potential group - and will keep me posted - Let's just say if this materializes mi casa es su casa... THANKS WENDYJEFF, SUE, EVERYBODY ELSE The great cosmos for connecting us all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Blossom!!!! I was just saying to some of the people PM'ing me that you might stop by. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yermom Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Could someone who goes to this kindly swoon over Kim Deal a little on my behalf? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Steve Brule Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 when are tickets actually available for this? In years past, when they open the doors! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Nice that Jon and Sally are opening this year. This is a first come first served event and usually Jeff is the only act that fills the place, the rest of the time it is pretty easy to get in. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H.Stone Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 There's now a link to this event from WilcoWorld, but it links to an old poster with incorrect dates... and then links to a schedule of performers that is also incorrect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

H.Stone Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The second city site has what I'm assuming is an accurate schedule, though. I just thought I'd throw that out there because if I was going (and bidding on something really important, for example) , the different dates would freak me out a little bit. I bet WW will fix it soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
