Guest Speed Racer Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Tickets are 500, 250 or 100. Any guesses as to Jeff's friends? God willing, three guitars, a harmonica or two, and 10-11 new songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Where are you seeing this? Not doubting, really. Just curious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cousin Tupelo Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Where are you seeing this? Not doubting, really. Just curious.Would it be through the Cook County Democratic Committee? They at least might have a link to such a fundraiser. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jnrjr79 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 If you're on Obama's email list, you got an email from the campaign about it today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WaronWar Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I thought about going to this until I realize how it expensive it is. However, it is for a good cause, but I am a college student though I am going to donate some money to Barack Obama. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 If you're on Obama's email list, you got an email from the campaign about it today.Ah! Of course, that would be the Chicago-area Obama's email list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Are they Obama's friends or Tweedy's friends? I heard that David Axelrod plays a mean bass. William Ayers is also good on the bongos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Heaven Forbid! That would put the brakes on Wilco for at least 4 years. You must not be familiar w/ the duties of a vice president if you think Jeff Tweedy holding the office would be reason enough for Wilco to go on hiatus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nalafej Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Well it won't be all of Wilco at the show because Nels has a show in Colorado that night. I don't see any gigs lined up for Mike, Glenn, Pat, John or another local Obama supporter, Andrew Bird... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
