Apprehension Accurate

University ballrooms are not the best venues, confirmed tonight before leaving the Wilco show early. Plus, I hate to say it, but Wilco was boring. Especially after seeing Drive By Truckers on Sunday. That the sound mix was like mud did not help.

At least Baltar can redeem himself by seeing Gwar tomorrow night. Maybe he will take and post pictures. We could have a Gwar corollary to my report from patchouliland. Baltar reports in from spewing-meat-and-gushing-blood land?

When did you leave? There were sound problems, but it seemed to me that that got fixed (to a degree), oh I don't know, a few songs before the first encore? I'm not a giant Wilco fan, but I wasn't bored or annoyed or anything.

You went to Wilco? Dude, you should 'fess up on these things.

I left after an hour.

I'd say it definitely got better in the 2nd hour.

Though that's a highly problematic venue if you are looking to enjoy yourself - or, you know, see people. :)

dude, now baltar's coming up here to see GWAR, too? what's really ironic about this is, through a new grad student friend, i have learned that this is some kind of IR field trip -- as in, they're dragging all these grad students of some sort of IR persuasion to freaking GWAR. i was forwarded the deadpan write-up of what to expect and why one should attend, and i almost wanted to go sheerly out of morbid curiosity (not about GWAR, but about potentially very unsuspecting grad students huddled in a protective circle).

I just heard that Gwar is sold out, and perhaps our little Morgantown expedition is not going to happen, since the ringleader (not baltar) didn't even get a ticket. Bummer, dudes.
