kidsmoke Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 So yeah, I'll begin at the end by saying I am way behind on SSF 2019. I feel very disorganized at the moment. So would you all be so good as to tell me who is attending? Just yell out roll call style. As for the "promises" part...Whoever I told I would buy a beer or a drink or a sandwich while we're there had better remind me because I know I did but not who. So hold me to it! There were a couple of you. But I'm not going to believe ALL of you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twoshedsjackson Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Actually, I believe I owe YOU a drink and a sandwich. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theashtraysays Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I was told there would be jerky. And I intend to collect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mountainbike Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I'm not going but hope everyone has a great time. It sounds like your cost could be offset tremendously by all the beer and sandwiches kidsmoke is going to be buying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boss_Tweedy Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I'll be there! I have a feeling the next few days of work before I leave are going to be unproductive. I cannot wait to get on that plane. And this is my 1,000th post! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 i will be there for my 5th SSF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dagwave Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Lighting out next Thursday morning, sans daughter for the first time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chisoxjtrain Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 First time going. Hope to not disappoint people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 I'm sort of jealous of you first-timers. You will have the experience of a lifetime! Drink it all in, and be sure to allow time to check out the gorgeous surrounding area, the spectacular museums (Go to the Clark!) and the charming and welcoming town. Mountainbike, someday we will meet at a ssf. It's a certainty! Until then, I'll buy you a drink and then, uh, consume it on your behalf, because why waste good beer, right? There are sober children in Appalachia! Please come say hello, all of you. I'm the brunette with glasses and red streaks in the back of my hair. That oughta narrow it down some. And I'll probably have my traditional red backpack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Oh and Vince, I haven't forgotten you. I'll have your special order of Bull Black Jerky on hand. It's just painted with acrylic paints but it looks sassy and bold and they say it's nontoxic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 i will be there for my 5th SSF.Mine, too. Looking forward to it. Staying in a rented house in Pittsfield, 35 minutes away. My daughter and I and a few friends will be there Wednesday. One of my favorite things about SS is getting there a few days early and hanging out in the area. We'll do the Clark Museum one day, and we will see a couple of summer collegiate league baseball games (Pittsfield Suns one night, North Adams Steeplecats another). By Friday afternoon, we will have 14 of us staying in the house. Good times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I know Donna mentioned this before, but we’re trying to get a bunch of people from Via Chicago and Facebook’s Wilco-related groups together for a photo shoot. Tim, why don’t you come and do the honors? Meet on Saturday morning at 11:00 near wherever the big WILCO letters are set up this year. If you absolutely can’t make it on Saturday morning at 11 come for a make up session on Sunday morning at 10:30, same bat location. If you bought a special Wilco shirt as part of a group solidarity project (there were a couple of options), wear one of those shirts. If not, just wear any Wilco shirt. It’ll be fun to look back on this picture a few Solid Sounds from now and muse on how good we all looked this year compared to whenever in the future! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ladyC Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I was promised jerky as well (but gonna pass on the Bull Black jerky - Vince can have all of that). Drinks on me Donna!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kidsmoke Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 So far I have somebody buying me a sandwich and two people good for drinks! After this week, it will all be appreciated more than any of you can imagine. Keep them coming, bartender/ sandwich maker! It has been a horrible week but Solid Sound will heal. I know it, from my 5 previous experiences. I hope to get to meet up with each and every one of you, and I have free homemade beef jerky. Come say hello! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kidsmoke Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 It's like a kickstarter to get me sandwiches and drinks! Cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mizzy Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I'm in, for the fourth or fifth time. (Rick Smith, if you're reading through posts, are you going this year?) And for anyone staying on campus in the dorms, I hope you get B-6, I had plenty of good times there when I was a student. See ya at Jacks, see ya at the Freightyard, see ya at The Clark, and you'll see me with my red-hair and rugby related T-shirts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 is this the first year they are using dorms for rental rooms? or did they do that last year as well? makes a lot of sense tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 is this the first year they are using dorms for rental rooms? or did they do that last year as well? makes a lot of sense tbh. At least the 2nd year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 This is the first SS my wife and I will not be attending. Hope everyone has a blast! We'll be listening in tomorrow night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
last cigarettes Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 My wife, kids and I will be there. Fifth time around for Cathy, Adam and I- Adam was just starting to walk in the galleries and on Joe’s field at SS I and is now 10. Fourth time for Ella, who was born a week before SS II, the only one we missed. Time flies...I feel so lucky as a fan to have spent so much time with my family in the company of our favorite band over the years. Hope to make it for the group photo this time around. Happy fest to all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
opsopcopolis Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Anybody that's there this evening (I won't be getting in until around Wilco time) can you let me know if there are any tapers? I have my small taping rig but would prefer not to bring it if I don't need to.Also do we think it's a fair assumption they'll be releasing these sets? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
