Wilco's Winter Residency

[nkotb]

Anyone attempting to go to this?  I'm not sure I can make it, but it's so tempting.
 
 Tickets go on pre-sale in about an hour.  It'll be hard not to just buy them and figure out the logistics later.

with my luck, i'd end up going the night they do all YHF and Ghost is Born tunes... ha.
 
 WOuld love to go but that's a pricey trip not worth making IMO.

The only reason I'm even considering it is because my company's main office is in Chicago.  It would be sweet to combine a work trip and this show...especially with flight and hotel paid for.

i was super late to the wilco party; so, i actually got hooked on a ghost is born & yankee hotel foxtrot.  what i can remember from NYE 2004 at MSG is f'in amazing....
 
 i wouldn't mind spending the $170 (plus travel, hotel, incidentals), but i'm not about to use precious vacation time for this.
 
 nkotb, since you can make this a business trip, you should be the board's designated attendee!

I'm not saying those aren't good albums, just the tunes have been played now for literally 4 years straight...
 
 At any rate, it would be a fun run of shows. THe one good thing though is that since they're dusting off these old tunes, you can expect to hear them in the coming tour.

fair enough.
 
 they're playing the tower theatre sat, 2/23.  i've never been.  worth the trip?
