ElBirdos Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I want to make the Madison gig but I fear I came into the ticket search a little late. If anyone needs face + a kidney... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMaker Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Califone! Crap, maybe I should spring and see 'em again in Hamilton, even though I just caught a gig in Toronto like a month and a half ago (or whenever it was). Decisions, decisions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turnips Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 well Hamilton is sold out, so you're going the 3rd party route. I ended up getting them from stubhub - normally hate using those guys but I came out OK here's what they got left:https://www.stubhub.com/wilco-tickets/wilco-hamilton-hamilton-place-theatre-2-23-2010-900088/?isGen2Event=1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeattleC Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 There's a fair bit of buzz about the show already from what I can tell, but I share that sentiment. I'm not one who generally needs or wants to move around a whole lot during a show, but I get distracted if I suspect the band (especially Wilco) is bored or annoyed. I was at that 2004 show as well and remember Jeff's crack about Glenn painting the guy, and I remember hating the idiots in Seattle 2006 who kept shouting about the Seahawks (they were in the Super Bowl that weekend). The crowd at the Royal for Band of Horses was pretty tame, if I remember correctly -- but then again, they'd played here twice already in the last couple years. Anyway, hopefully people (and the band) understand that this is a big deal for Victoria, and the show is a memorable one. I think it's time to bump this back up! It's almost Wilco Week in the Pacific Northwest (Portland, Seattle, and Victoria for me) I'm counting on Stephen Colbert to be sitting nearby in Victoria, before he goes to Vancouver to see his speed skaters. We know he's a Wilco friend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ViaVancouver Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 less than a week till my first wilco show!!! i use to work security for shows at the University of Montana. So i'm gonna try to sneak around a bit and hear the sound check and see the band. it's going to be awesome!!! I even made myself listen to Califone enough in the last two months to appreciate their opening set, I think. I hope. first time I saw them, came away thinking they were one of the worst bands I'd ever sat through. I've employed the radios theory of repetition abuse. What I at first just tolerated I now sing along with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeattleC Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I'm counting on Stephen Colbert to be sitting nearby in Victoria, before he goes to Vancouver to see his speed skaters. We know he's a Wilco friend. Pardon the reply to my own post (poor manners I'm told) I realized this is the night of the opening ceremonies, so I expect Stephen Colbert will be occupied in Vancouver that evening. Thanks to Wilco for skipping that event to play for us in Victoria!~ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
