lizish Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 (edited) so, I think Bbop holds the record for traversing the country and showing up at concerts. Let's play a little game where you find him (or someone who looks very much like him) in various 'Close to the stage' band pictures. 2 points for non-wilco/tweedy shows 1 point for wilco shows Wrens at Slim's San Francisco last Friday - lower right hand corner: Edited December 5, 2005 by lizish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Wrens at Slim's San Francisco last Friday - lower right hand corner:Ha, good eye! I can barely see him in that picture, but I can confirm that yes, that'd be him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Wilco ~ 05/19/04 Wilco ~ 06/08/04 Irving Plaza I've never met him but I've been in the same room with him many, many times in NYC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Preferred B Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 He was there, though! I was trying to find a picture from the Pitchfork fest last summer, so far to no avail... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well in this case, you can certainly Photoshop him in at another concert and still gain a point towards your game total. Altamont, Woodstock or the 1965 Newport Folk Festival perhaps?

Hodie Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I don't have any pictures to add (I've looked), but I just want to mention that this is the best thread idea I've ever met. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Attack With Love Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 how about we make things spicy and if you have a picture of him in a crowd where he's NOT closer to the stage than you, you get 6 points! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Killer thread! I agree. One can only hope that twenty years from now some collectors of turn-of-the-century indie-band box sets will wonder who that guy is that pops up in all the concert photos. Perhaps the search will merit its own website or whatever the medium of choice is in 2025. Hopefully this medium will allow for and even promote the overuse of hyphens.

Attack With Love Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Hey, I was standing in front of him at the Wrens! well, 6 points for yoU! and since i thought that was seemingly impossible when i made the unofficial rule, and you so swiftly and seemlessly proved me wrong, you get 10, maybe 15 points in my book (but only because it's the holidays ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 No points for me, just the joy of NOT being in that picture is reward enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Hey Erin - more points owed here ... At this show, I believe both Jen AND I were closer to the stage than bbop ... ... I'm pretty sure that's him holding a beer in his hand in the first section of the lower balcony. Jen and I were in row 2 at the red X, just missed the shot. I, too, am filled with joy about that! http://www.zerostudio.net/wilcoAUD1105/Zoran Orlic's site Quote Link to post Share on other sites
