theashtraysays Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Anybody have the Rochester, N.Y. venue presale password?If I get myself, I'll post it here...Does anyone know much about this venue (Highland Bowl)? Looks like a hillside in a park with a concrete bandstand. GA / standing only? Kinda nondescript. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
williamblanda Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I live a few blocks away. Cool venue, pretty much a bowl and some lawn to sit on. If the weather is nice it should be fun! (Pre-sale password would be much appreciated as well...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magnetized Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I just PM'd you. I was inspired & encouraged by Johnny Yuma (whose seen them a bunch) to take a solo jaunt this last year to Detroit to see them after a friend from Buffalo had to cancel. I think Johnny said he'd done a couple (two?) such trips on his own & had a great time. I loved my lone road trip, & it was an amazing show!! I highly encourage you to consider still going no matter what. I think you can find cheap enough lodging via lots of online options, but more about that later...I'm actually now going to both of these shows on my own as well, but...I'm staying with friends, & going to the show with friends in both places...be glad to meet up with you, just to meet up.I can suggest both priceline.com for super cheap hotel stuff & checking into youth hostels (http://hiusa.org/)...if I can help you out, I will....you can message me here...Also regarding Mass-MoCA...you can join as an individual member for $65 & then get a ticket before the auction for $113. Both the membership & ticket price, because it's a benefit, are tax deductible, so it takes a little of the sting out of it.I call Mass-MoCA at 413-664-4481 & go to the option (think it's #1) to get tickets, the box office folks can get you your membership & your ticket instantly. I just didn't want to take any chances with the auction & it's a great cause.The auction starts Friday April 13 at 10AM, but goes until Mon. April 16 at 10AM, so I'd be they aren't drawing winners until Monday, but I'd get a move on if you want to get a membership & get tickets for sure. I was also told that if you bid around the actual ticket price ($113), or slightly more ($120) that it betters your odds. They are taking a certain amount of very low priced bids, a certain amount of medium ones, but when those get filled it'll only be the higher bids....so low bids can win, but like I said I just didn't want to chance it. Good Luck!!http://www.massmoca.org/membership.phpThanks for the info. Actually, I had already joined Mass MoCA a while back, thinking it would be a good way to stay on the inside track for future Solid Sound/Wilco events, so I was just balking at the $113 price. But after taking everything into consideration--including the total price for getting there from Virginia, hotels, airfare, car rental, etc.--I decided the ticket price wasn't such a big part of the overall expense anyway. So I bought one at the end of the day yesterday during the member presale and am glad I don't have to wait, biting my fingernails, to see if a bid gets accepted. If I had to guess, I would bet that bids significantly lower than $113 will get accepted, but at least I don't have to deal with the uncertainty. And yes, it is definitely for a good cause. I love that museum! Best of luck to everyone who has entered the bidding. This will be a fun little mini reunion of Solid Sounders at a gorgeous time of year in the Berkshires.

linclink Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Does anyone know much about this venue (Highland Bowl)? Looks like a hillside in a park with a concrete bandstand. GA / standing only? Kinda nondescript. First of all...the Rochester venue presale is still going on & the password is: "rochesterevents" Then to answer your question...The bandstand itself is kind of nondescript, yeah but...it is in Highland Park in Rochester! Highland Park boasts the largest & most varied collection of lilacs on the planet Earth (no kidding). There is a Lilac Festival there every May. & it is incredible...of course by the show they will be long past bloom (just like at the time of the gig at the Cooperstown venue, it will be way before the gorgeous Autumn colors that were highlighted in the picture that Wilco posted on their facebook page)...but...Highland Park is an absolutely beautiful park!! And it's a great little venue to see a show in. I saw The Mekons there many years ago (missed Johnny Cash there when I lived in NYC, & missed Furthur there two years ago), & I saw a little mini-fest there last year with Alison Krauss & Union Station, Jerry Douglas, Ralph Stanley, Tony Rice, etc..

The Inside of Outside Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Weekend road trip to Cooperstown and Essex Junction. 15+ hours of driving, over 800 miles round trip. Baseball HOF, Wilco show, Fort Ticonderoga, Wilco show, Ben and Jerry's ice cream, then home. A summer's worth of fun in 2 and a half days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

linclink Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 From Wilco on facebook, earlier today...and apparently, congratulations are in order for you folks in Ohio...come on Cleveland & I'm in (Columbus is over 6 hours & I'm going to 5 shows already...but Cleveland, that's less than 4 hours- not much more than Toronto & no border madness & delays there)... Wilco Hello, Columbus. We'll have something for you tomorrow.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lazy locomotives Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 ok...I gotta calm down here...all the recent show announcements, to a gig, I had conflicts of some sort or another...the best opportunity was Rochester, but that wasn't going to work out because I'm going to be in...wait for it...COLUMBUS, OH. that weekend...is it possible for them to hit C-bus on the way home? I've been looking at their schedule and I know they're heading to Europe about a week later...so any insight from my fellow VCers? late Aug/early Sep may work as well...keepin' my fingers crossed...

Heart full of holes Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 WRNR deejay just mentioned that we should "expect two nights" of Wilco at Wolf Trap this summer. Nothing on Wolf Trap schedule yet, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing on Wolf Trap schedule yet, though. OMG!!! I just called Wolf Trap and got a chatty representative who confirmed that they're coming July 18 and 19. Tickets won't go onsale to the public till May 5, I think she said. And supposedly the official announcement will be made on April 24. Whoo hoo--FINALLY one within driving distance. You heard it here first! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You heard it here first! Looks like Wolf Trap already has the B-52s scheduled on July 19, but nothing announced on the 17th or 18th. I'd be surprised to see Wilco do a 2-night stand there--did they fully sell out in 2009? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
