I didn't like Foellinger for a show. I felt like I was going to get an Economics lecture from that Socialist bastard Tweedy. Didn't he play Dear Employer that night, too? Typical.

I'm guessing this is sarcasm but what do people think of this venue? I'm serioulsy contemplating the 6 hour drive. Never seen Jeff solo. Kinda a must do thing for me.

 

I have vowed to never see a show at Foellinger again. The crowd is either really lame or pompous. Saw Weezer open for Live when I was in school and people sat down most of the time. Saw Wheatus, Harvey Danger, and SR-71 (if I remember right) and people sat again. Saw the Wilco show in 2002 and, although people did stand, we got yelled at for standing too soon. And if standing when the house lights go out means too soon... Could never figure it out being a college town and all.

 

Sorry for ranting but I have a feeling I'm about to break my vow. Haven't been down in quite some time. Heard White Horse closed.

Hummmm...well this is a tweedy solo show right? So perhaps the mellow (probably seated crowd) will make sense this time around? C'mon folks sell me on this. Tell me I should make the drive for this

Got row J kinda surprised I was on that site the second it went live. Hoping to get first 5 rows. Oh well 9th row works just fine. Yay Im going to see Jeff for the first time! Watched Sunken Treasure last night for inspiration to make the purchase and to make the 6 hour drive in what could be ugly weather.

Well, so much for vows.

 

Just got tix. Sec 3 Row H seats 1-4. Nice.

 

Got it right away but figured that the students have a presale for the very front.

 

Nice to hear White Horse reopened. Will need to stop in. Also looking forward to dinner at Radio Maria's which is one of the best places we have ever dined.

Fantastic. I'm in

 

 

My girlfriend and I had already planned on going to Radio Maria before the show. Best place in Champaign, hands down. fall menu includes Pato Tacos (duck tacos, sounds scary/weird but they are absolutely amazing)

 

We will probably hit up crane alley afterward.

 

gonna be a great weekend.
