SarahC Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 What the fuck. People are shit heads. Are you going tomorrow? Maybe check the Tab's lost n found. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boss_Tweedy Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Really sucks. I know it's just a hat, but it was my hat and can't be replaced. They're no longer available in the shop. I'll be at tomorrow night's show, but I'm not holding my breath about it turning up in lost & found. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Damn. I know it sucks. I have one of those and I would be bummed too if I lost it. They had another style boggin at the merch table tonight. I know it can't replace the one you lost, but it looked really nice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boss_Tweedy Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Yeah. I doubt I'll buy anything to replace it. I spent enough money to get here. Flew from New Orleans, bought tix for both nights & and am paying for food & drink while here. Tonight's show was phenomenal because of the band, but this definitely puts a damper on the experience.

jff Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I'm sorry that happened. I've had that happen to me at a concert in Atlanta, too. Twice, actually. There are lots of shitheels in this city, apparently. It's embarrassing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mondrarytomic Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 One time at a show at The Point someone came up behind my brother during the band's first song and just ripped his T-shirt off him. I have no idea why but it turned out hilarious since he was standing there the whole show without a shirt on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 i once had a setlist snatched out of my hands after the show and the bastard did a runner and refused to give it back. another vc'er that was approached him and he still refused to hand it back. plus he was being a show-off dick throughout the show Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doug C Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'm not saying that someone didn't steal your hat from your pocket, because the world is full of scumbags, but, it is also possible that it fell out and got lost in the masses and/or someone picked it up. When I walk the dogs, I stick a plastic grocery bag in my pocket and it has worked it's way out from walking several times, causing me to walk back to the pile and pick it up later with a new bag. I learned to shove it way down. My granddaughter got me one of those bag holders that clips to your belt so no more lost bags. If you are like me, a jumping around dancing Wilco fan, I can definitely visualize it falling out. Either way , it still sucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had it just a few moments before we exited the Tabernacle. But like you said, either way it sucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopQuizKat Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Euclid records in St. Louis had a handful in stock along with a lot of tour march. Maybe check their location on the Dirty Coast... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doug C Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 If it was in your pocket just before exiting, I can definitely see some d-bag snatching it. Best of luck on your search for a replacement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TacoCat Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hey Boss_Tweedy,I know what it feels like to have something taken away from you, especially right after you walk out of a Wilco show glowing and beaming with joy. Someone grabbed my phone after the show in the ladies room at Kings Theatre (Brooklyn) on night 1. I was pretty devastated, mostly because of the photos/videos saved on it (learned my lesson to upload on cloud storage for the future). But more importantly, I went to see Wilco the following night and during those two amazing hours, Wilco helped me to forget all about a silly phone. I was just so happy to be back again to a beautiful room full of excited fans and of course, the band bringing the house down. Items are always replaceable and I hope seeing Wilco again on night 2 in Atlanta also helped you to forget the unpleasant memories. I also hope you can find another replacement. And remember, Wilco is always the best medicine for the blues Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kidsmoke Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 If I had an extra hat I'd mail it to you! Sometimes these little keepsakes get invested with all kinds of memories, don't they? So it feels like you've lost much more than a hat. I hope you find a replacement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
