This happens once in a while: Some fan has a healthy curiosity concerning the wherabouts of the famous 'Loft', and fails to consider the personal privacy aspect. Then some veteran VCer either politely or holier than thouly tells them "That is not appropriate". So yeah......I'd love to see it too, but folks raise some reasonable concerns and the bat lair remains hidden. Enjoy your time in the freezing city, I assume you're attending one of the awesome Riv shows.

That's it. Make sure you get out of your car and walk around too, and leave your doors unlocked.

I understand the curiosity and to document that you were somewhere important to all of us who love the band. But I hope you would agree that that info needs to stay private because their are odd people in this world whose intentions may not be so benign and anyone who would divulge that info and then something bad happens would never forgive themselves. I have some friends here in Okc who line not far from Wayne coyne of the flaming lips. I know where he lives but respect his privacy and realize that giving that info out or encroaching on his space is not cool. I mean no disrespect, just my unsolicited opinion. Feel free to disregard.

I am cool with that and understand indeed.

i do believe the loft's general location was mentioned in an article written by greg kot, or maybe in his book. or at least, he mentioned the nearest, decently-busy intersection. which, hint-hint, i pass everyday on the way to and from work.

you'd be just as well of taking a picture in front of any 2-5 story building on Chicago's northside. I don't think they have any giant Wilco murals outside of it or anything. You'll be none the wiser.

 

And sadly, that picture from Down With Wilco can't be duplicated since they put a bus shelter in front of it. :ohwell

And I know for a fact that at least one Chicago-area firefighter will be at these shows, so ask around, maybe you two can meet up and talk shop. :)

 

thanks man, you are comforting, after being bashed ( im very sensitive :) )..... I will do that for sure.

OK, now I'm pissed! I'm not a man! :realmad

 

Kidding. Yeah, don't take it as bashing. Some questions just get asked on a semi-regular basis, and that's one that's sort of got a standard set of replies you're going to get. Nobody meant it personally.

 

See you there. :wave

It's just something that does not go over well - as you can see:

I suppose you have to look at as - what if people showed up where you work or sleep - just to look around or whatever.
