$78 for two nights of Wilco is super cheap. I couldn't touch a ticket @ Strathmore for under $300 in March. It's only an 8 hour drive for me. And it appears there are some camping facilities in town and a couple of parks near as well. ;D

Any info on the Wilco member's side projects? Like what's worth checking out and what isn't? I don't know much about any of them. I've heard good things about the Nels Cline Singers but other then that i'm clueless.

Wilco and MMJ are like my two top bands that I think are amazing and are huge......but the average person has no idea who they are. Both bands are awesome.

makes sense. I mean both bands started sorta like alt-country but have now transformed into a totally different sound that's a lil harder to define. i love both bands. i have to do this festival

if it breaks down to $45 each night for the 2 wilco shows then the money is already worth it. the other bands and activities just make it even more appealing.
;D
