calvino Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Noticed this today on Chicagoist: http://chicagoist.com/2009/06/21/jeff_tweedy_wrangles_up_a_benefit_s.php Jeff Tweedy Wrangles Up A (Benefit) Solo Show If you're not quite in the Lollapalooza spirit this year or you'd rather spend $80 on a good ticket for an intimate show than a sweaty festival or maybe, dammit, you just love Wilco and are disappointed they aren't playing this year's fest, then Jeff Tweedy is coming to your rescue. And it's for a good cause. On Saturday, August 8, Tweedy - with opening support from Second City alum and current Colbert Report writer Peter Grosz - is playing a benefit solo show at Emanuel Congregation. Seating is general admission and set in three tiers by price: * $200 VIP ticket gets up front seating, one on-site parking spot per ticket, a meet and greet with the artists and a drink ticket. * $75 tickets will be in a reserved mid section, general seating * $54 tickets will be in the third section, general seating. Tickets for the 8 p.m. show go on sale Monday, July 22. Be sure to check back at Natiiv Events for more details as that date draws closer. [via Leah Jones] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wendy Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Okay, so of course I'm going to the benefit show! It really wasn't that hard of a choice. Who else is in? It's in 5 weeks and this thread sank to page 4 pretty fast. I guess there's been a bit of Wilco-related activity of late. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
