kidsmoke Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 My friend Chris Castaneda, who organized the Scott McCaughey Benefit Show at the Hideout in Chicago, is now in the ongoing process of offering auction items to benefit Scott's medical fund.

Mountainbike Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Thanks for posting Kidsmoke. How surprising that even though I live in Texas I never wanted a cowboy hat until about 5 minutes ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nalafej Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Scott just announced a residency in Portland for April. He's getting back to it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Scott just announced a residency in Portland for April. He's getting back to it... This makes me really happy! And if he spaces an occasional lyric, we, the fans, can fill in. Besides, who cares...it's all about how much fun it is to be in a room with Scott McOi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 More Wilco/Tweedy items to bid on: A signed framed band photo, A signed copy of Sukierae (Vinyl, signed by Jeff and Spencer), and a signed (by Jeff) copy of Schmilco. https://charity.ebay...p?NP_ID=2331601 Chris wanted you all to know that each of these items came directly from The Loft, with their usual generosity, and much love for Scott. These are the last Wilco-related items Chris has for the auction. So get in there and bid, bid, bid! Think how nice any of these items would look hung in a place of honor in YOUR home!

sonicshoulder Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Scrolling through these items last week I had to pass on Jeff's Stetson but I did see a copy of the Harmed Brothers last album on special edition colored vinyl. These guys are friends of mine, drummer actually lives around the corner. They had no idea the record was on there so not sure who donated it. Regardless, I got it for $15. Anyway, check them out. Great band, great guys doing it right. They currently have members living in Ky, Oregon, Nashville and California so pick up their album and help pay for some of their gas!
