heliotropist Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 If anyone with kids in tow wants to meet up at some point during the wknd, I'm @Heliotropist. Our daughters are 5 & 7 and this is our 3rd SSF. We're arriving Thursday afternoon and our plan is to bop around downtown that evening, probably have dinner at PUBLIC eat+drink, then ice cream somewhere, then ultimately back to our hotel with an extra dose of melatonin for the kids whose excitement will keep them awake, I'm sure.I've lurked here and rarely posted but it would be cool to meet up.

Hixter Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 part of me wants the Bruins to lose tonight so i don't miss the potential clincher on Saturday...After last night's heartbreaker, I'm resigned to watching Thursday's Spurs/Heat final in a Bennington, VT, bar. I don't expect the atmosphere to be nearly as charged as it will be in my neighborhood in San Antonio. We've gathered around the bar in my neighbor's house and had a rollicking good time every game.

Magnetized Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I have a friend who is the local weatherman and he says the National Weather Service is the most accurate forecaster. They're calling for mostly sunny Friday, high 77, mostly sunny Saturday, high 80, and 30% chance of scattered thunderstorms on Sunday, high 82. Sounds damn close to perfect!

I don't have camera rain sleeves, but I'm bringing my poncho. And I hope the tapers are bringing their little umbrellas to cover the mikes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And, unless security stops us, we'll have some kind of sparkly sign designating the table as a gathering place for Via Chicago members and their friends. (Which doesn't, of course, preclude any other Wilco fans who haven't managed to find this fansite--in case anyone was wondering.) I am crazy excited--can't wait to get out of work and on the road!!!

bjorn_skurj Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 This just in: WAMC'S THE ROUNDTABLE BROADCASTS LIVE FROM SOLID SOUND FESTIVAL AT MASS MOCA ALBANY, NY (06/19/2013)(readMedia)-- WAMC's The Roundtable is thrilled to once again be part of the amazing -and always surprising- Solid Sound Festival, North Adams, MA with a live broadcast from 9 a.m. to noon on Friday, June 21st.This special edition of The Roundtable will focus on the immense variety that the festival has to offer, with artist interviews and live performances hosted by The Roundtable's Joe Donahue, and WAMC's President and CEO, Dr. Alan Chartock.

The festival, created by the alternative rock band Wilco, is presented in collaboration with MASS MoCA. Host Donahue says, "This will be our third "Solid Sound" broadcast and fifth at MASS MoCA. It is a thrill to be among stunning art, their creaky floorboards and given the opportunity to share with our listeners the amazing art, culture, and music emanating from this regional treasure - both during this festival and throughout the year."www.solidsoundfestival.comIn addition to a visit by Wilco frontman and festival originator Jeff Tweedy, the broadcast will include interviews with arts and events curators from MASS MoCA and with artists whose work is currently on display at the museum. Tweedy will be joined by his son, Spencer, whose band, The Blisters, are playing as part of Solid Sound on Sunday. We'll also have an interview with and live performance from indie-pop up-and-comers, Lucius, and we'll learn about Storey Publishing, Urban Birding, and some very special Culinary Events.The Roundtable broadcast will air from 9 a.m. to noon ET on all WAMC Northeast Public Radio frequencies and will stream live at www.wamc.org.

lazy locomotives Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hey VC-ers, just wanted to jump in and say how much we're looking forward to SSF3 - we were there in 2011 (still drying out) and are SO jazzed about this year! We're leaving tomorrow a.m. and we should be there by 4 or so...we'll be looking for the VC table, so we can say hi! I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve right about now... (I requested "Roadrunner", and I know I'm not alone, but hey...lol) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cool, we'll do that. Thanks! I should've been active here all these years but I have so much trouble tearing myself away from a good forum discussion that it was probably for the best, at least for my productivity. Nowadays my attention span is better suited to twitter, anyway. Then again, many of my friends online and off are surely sick of my Wilco nerdery, especially around SSF or any time a show is coming up, so this would've been a better outlet for my occasional and unpredictable Wilco-related outbursts. Yeah, definitely. My daughters are 4 and this will be our first S.S.We're arriving Thursday too, and our plans are pretty much the same as yours. We're staying at the Crowne Plaza in Pittsfield.Great! I'm sure that a pair of 4yo girls will be hard to miss, especially since my kids will be on the lookout for potential friends. We'll connect for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jjm33 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 If the Bruins do win tonight, I will need to find a bar close to Mass Moca to watch the game at. I've seen Wilco 20+ times, as much as I'd hate it, I would skip the show Sat night to watch the B's win the cup. Any ideas for bar close to Moca to watch a game at?

Papillon Parade Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Landed in North Adams around 2 PM today. Just went for a bite at The Hub, SO good! The weird thing is, the only sign of the festival I saw was the orange WILCO sign at Mass MoCA (nearly put the b/f off the road with the scream of excitement). No band member sightings yet, but we may go bowling later so who knows Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 There's one a short block away, easy to find, that would like have the game going I think. Does anybody remember the name of that place we went to at SSF1? Sorry, I don't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
