dagwave Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 It looks like my Winterlude plans are dashed: yesterday a 91 year old driving a Buick decided to hit me during a run in broad daylight yesterday. Thankfully it wasn't far from my house and I only suffered a fractured fibula, and bruises and cuts from head to toe. Could have been much much worse, so I'm counting my blessings. I had hotel and flight booked, lucky they are both refundable- hadn't pulled the trigger yet for tickets. Hopefully will be good to go for the Beacon. Ouchie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Bummer! Sorry to hear that. Here's hoping for fast healing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theashtraysays Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 yesterday a 91 year old driving a Buick decided to hit me during a run in broad daylight yesterday. Ouchie. A, when the hell did you take up running? B, if you were any good at it, you should have been able to OUTRUN a 91YO in a Buick. C, if it had been a black Nova I would have been way more impressed. Seriously man, that's terrible news. Not at all what the dagwave needs these days. But I do hope the Beacon show works out better. It will. Then you can heal up before June and we'll see you at SS5. Oh, and pics or it didn't happen. Cheers!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Someone almost backed into me as I was walking back to my car in a grocery store parking lot the other day and I had visions of how easily something like that could happen. So scary! I hope you heal up quickly, my friend! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SL500 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I believe Wilco takes the stage at 9, and Saturday's show is being broadcast by 93.1 or on 93xrt.com. Here is the link: http://wxrt.cbslocal.com/2017/02/17/hear-wilco-live-on-xrt/ I would assume they are taking the stage at 9 pm each night for those going to shows other than Saturday.

DaydreamNation Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Going to my first Wilco show ever the last night of Winterlude (Sun 2/26)! Beyond excited. Any wildass guesses as to what the sets will look like for these shows? I'm assuming there's gonna be deep cuts aplenty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
15step Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 i wasn't sure where to post this, so forgive me if it should be in another thread..... ....but i can't be the only one who was bummed about the ticket release today. i bought presale tickets for Thursday and immediately bought the 2 seats i ended up with. come to find out today they're releasing tickets in the lower level, row DD, for tomorrows show. maybe im splitting hairs and the point is moot because it is a different day, but i felt a bit gipped. not a feeling i've really ever encountered with this band and their business operation. in my opinion jake fussell is a must. an american interpreter/bluesman of the highest caliber. jim elkington is great with steve gunn, nathan salsburg, and recently tweedy (plus many more). see, i do believe wilco does put a show together very well.

mattsiu02 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 15step, These are the tickets held back for the band and promoter. When they aren't used up by friends and family, they are rereleased to the general public. Happens for tons of shows, not just Wilco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
randomname Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Unless Billy's schedule precludes it, I would bet good money he'll make a guest appearance at the first night of Winterlude. I saw Billy Bragg tonight (he was great), and he mentioned he was flying back to England tomorrow. So I guess this wont be happening, unfortunately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

randomname Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 ^Does Bragg play anything off Mermaid Ave at his shows? Last night he did "All You Fascists". He acknowledged that he couldn't do a set without some Woody and couldn't do a Chicago show without some Wilco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boss_Tweedy Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Just want to say to all who are fortunate enough to be attending that I hope y'all have a blast. I'll be there with you in spirit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 PSA: 8:30 pm set time for Wilco tonight per a Chicago Theater tweet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SL500 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 PSA: 8:30 pm set time for Wilco tonight per a Chicago Theater tweet.Venues have a long history of trying to get patrons to shows early by giving earlier start times. Regardless, I will be ready by 8:30. Thank you for sharing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goalinlifewastobeanecho Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I'll be there on Saturday, but if someone could post pics of the posters for each night, that would be awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
