Gewee Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 With such a strong VC contingent in the house, we need to plan some sort of Wednesday night "Thank You" effort. Beyond painted chests and screaming loudly, let me suggest Wenesday be 'jean jacket' night at the Riv. Imagine 300 of us crowding the front in jean jackets. Of course, I could be wrong but I never make a mistook. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jw harding Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 From a failed topic I started the other day: http://forums.viachicago.org/index.php?showtopic=33621 >Although I can't be at any of the residency shows, I would like to offer the following suggestion. On the final night, it would be great if there were an organized way for the audience to thank the band. At the conclusion of the Grateful Dead's run of shows back in 1980 at Radio City Music Hall legendary promoter Bill Graham placed a bottle of champagne and glasses onstage during the encore break, and distributed glasses of champagne to EVERYONE in the audience, who then toasted the band when they returned to the stage. A legendary story, that is now a beautiful part of the history of the Dead. Could something similar be concocted for the conclusion of this run? If not the above, then what? Maybe someone could distribute fliers on the final night alerting everyone to do something together? I was just up in L.A., and ended up discussing Wilco with someone I'd never met before. He said to me "YHF is the definitive record of my music listening generation." Funny, as I've said the same thing several years before. Who else has? It's our Revolver, Blood on the Tracks, Exile, Dark Side, etc., and Tweedy is our Lennon, Dylan, Young. !VIVA EL WILCO! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 If I thought of it months ago, I'd have made 3,000 monkey shirts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gewee Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 Everyone should show up Wednesday in red polyester pants. This may make Ridiculously Supremely Great Idea #2: what if we take one fashion statement from each band member? What would that look like: Red pants, jean jacket, devil may care hair, white button down shirt, black rimmed glasses, copious amounts of sweat? Does that cover everyone?
