I've already got my tickets.
Great news! When Wilco played the Fleah (sp?) Fest at Arlington Raceway several years ago, Frank was doing backline and monitors in the tent. An amazing group of artists played there-Richard Thompson, John Lee Hooker, the Pogues at the end throwing beer bottles at the crowd. Frank was working so hard-there was beer in coolers back stage and by the middle of the afternoon all the Chicago hired stage hands were drunk and not helping. Our friend Ben, at the time a high school student, came along and he helped Frank get through the show. My job was to make sure they were fed and watered and I was hiding our cooler in an area under the stage by the monitor mix position. It was really hot and crazy back stage and I saw two guys under the stage looking in our cooler-I said hey-go get your own stuff and leave ours alone! They were very sheepish and as the guy took a drink out of the last ice tea, he offered it back with an apology. I told him to keep it. As they walked away, Ben was freaking out that I was yelling at the guys from Wilco!
