zebra Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Do people actually live in Montana?I was also thinking about the two Montana dates. Maybe people from all over the NW drive there. Glenn also has a solo date or two up there a few years back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

motorhome Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I was also thinking about the two Montana dates. Maybe people from all over the NW drive there. Glenn also has a solo date or two up there a few years back.  Both Bozeman and Missoula are college towns. If I was to guess, i bet the local rock station, and the indie station each play Wilco several times a day - there will be NO issue selling these shows out. I had 4 calls on my phone this morning about them coming.....this town is stoked to have them play - i definitely am. I've seen'm all over the west coast but these upcoming shows in MT will be extra sweet for us that live here. The venue in Bozeman barely holds 1500 people..maybe not that. I'm incredibly happy they are willing to still play some smaller venues out here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I always caught odd stares when I mentioned them. wilco didn't exist(UT days) when i was in college...i'd bet the crowds will be mostly 30-40 yr olds here. Ski bums, hippies, and the working folk....

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 why does wilco barely ever play on saturdays?Volleyball practice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouisvilleGreg Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 As tempting a sit is, my bank account can't even think about ST. Louis right now, but a run of east coast shows? No doubt about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loraaw Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 FREAKY Earlier this week I planned a surprise baseball weekend for my husband's birthday in St. Louis May 15-17. AWESOME - but now he's gonna think it was a self-serving plan. http://forums.viachicago.org/style_emotico...t/dontgetit.gif  EDIT = We arrive the NEXT day. Guess we won't be going. Solves that dilemma tho (and no, I don't think I'll shift his bday trip to suit myself; although I'm tempted). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bring some camping gear so that i don't have to pay for hotels....try and get some friends to come along.... EXCELLENT start to my summer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poppydawn Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 A wee St. Louis residency! Awesomeness! Â It's GA, so we'll be having an in-line party. If anyone needs help making St. Louis travel and hotel arrangements, give me a yell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WilcoOfTheDay Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I'm hoping for the yearly Toronto date or somewhere else close, maybe Ann Arbor or Kalamazoo? Kalamazoo just sounds like a place I want to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poppydawn Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 A little something for art geeks to keep in mind: Art on the Square starts the day after the second St. Louis show. It's a very good time and an excuse to check out Jeff's old stomping grounds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blindgonzo Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 yay! i've convinced one friend to come along with me. 2 more to go! :w00t :dance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poppydawn Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 What you aren't offering camping on your lawn or a bed and breakfast accomodation in your home? lol Of course that's an option! As long as you don't mind dogs, cats, and unruly children. My yard's small, but I doubt if the church across the street would mind if we set up a shantytown in their parking lot.

VenusStopsTrain2 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Well I have a two room tent...and it will be in what..May? So it should be plenty warm then. If we set up a shanty town I can also bring my dad's camping stove and a lantern. I'll have to get myself a lawn chair though and perhaps someone could bring a fire pit that is one of the ones that you can set up anywhere not directly on the ground Anyone else up for it?
