WILCO at Louis Sullivan's Auditorium Theater in Chicago

Wilco

is playing at Louis Sullivan's Auditorium Theater in Chicago on November 24 & 25. I know that there are a bunch of Wilco fans here on the 'Nect. Anyone else going?

I'm going to be in Milwaukee visiting my newly relocated parents and will be driving down to Chicago with my wife for the Saturday night show. I can't wait. Great band playing a hometown show in an incredible historic building. I think my head might explode.

Hopefully he won't have a hissy fit or have to deck an overzealous fan...

tweedy was very gracious in louisville. his episodes of testiness usually happen during the acoustic/solo-ish shows. they were all rock-n-roll this time out.

Its a big room Thrify - and it is very nice too.

When I saw Tom Waits there earlier this year, my annoying seatmate (I was about 1" away from throwing his cell phone over the balcony railing) told his phone buddy that the event was "Like an Orson Wells movie, but with more porkpie hats" - I had told him what a porkpie hat was right before the show when I asked him if he would please shut off his phone.

Now I'm testy.

Er yeah, that's right. Given recent Sullivanian events, they might as well be booking Great White...

That's so wrong...but I'm serious…

I wouldn’t think twice about taking a seat in the back near an egress door.

I am, however, very paranoid of things burning down.
