Y’all don’t bother entering – I have already entered and am going to win… 😉 😆 😯
Tom
As the web site notes, “residents of Canada and the states of Florida, Georgia, California, and Ohio are ineligible for entry.”
“Christmas list” = spouse checking credit card purchase tally, eh? And congratulations on employing the word “erstwhile” in a strong English sentence 😀

…I have a quikcly question for my spanish report please…what do you understand about the song “Something Wicked This Way Comes” and Gregg Allman reference?…
I imagine, Bigsubi, that “Something Wicked This Way Comes” was introduced by a reference to the work by the late Ray Bradbury of the same name. His title, in turn, was inspired by a line from the [later] Bill Shakespeare. Leastways that’s how she prefaced it in the States earlier this year. Greg Allman? Probably just a nod to his memoir “Cross to Bear”–the ungrammatical “ain’t” may be a Lucinda addition to the actual song title, but she does a rollicking cover of it live, no?

Hello…Louisville?
Yeah, I briefly considered that. But, Birmingham is a given, and, with Louisville the very next night, no way I am waking up early the morning after Birmingham & make the 6 hour drive…
Tom
Not even if you had a fellow passenger?

Thanks for the definitive schedule, TO. Greed compels me to wish there had been more shows in the SE, but I will be more than happy with the one show I do have within driving distance (I do not care for outdoor “festivals” – from a fan’s perspective, they are usually too much expense and effort for only a short set). So, Birmingham on the 23rd it is! 😀
For those other FF members entertaining a visit to Birmingham: “Stephens PAC” is the Alys Robinson Stephens Performing Arts Center, located on the campus of University of Alabama Birmingham. From the “Directions and Parking” page on their Web site:
The Alys Stephens Center is located at 1200 10th Avenue South, Birmingham, on the campus of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Parking is free and convenient.
The show is not yet listed on their calendar or on their list of “tickets available” events. Let the waiting, planning & anticipation begin! 😉

Spoken like a man with some experience of driving [rain-slicked?] Birmingham streets. . .
Tremendous, exile (and blessed), thank you. It sounds like blessed was quoting from a set list for night one, what with the slash marks. I didn’t think Bitter Memory and Stowaway would be back to back, but it sounds like fans who went both nights got the pair. And how about Ugly Truth & Minneapolis back to back–oh my God.
Dr. W, I’m still waiting on that drummer “red card” throwaway comment of yours to be expanded upon. I’ve seen her turn and issue a kind of verbal yellow, but this sounds radical!
bigsubi, your impressions?
Believe I met the missus out west this past year, mike: she seems willing and able to give you leave for this. Neither tickets nor lodging will be cheap, but hey, a man lives once, they say. If we can convince grumpymama, there’s two west coasters headed to the Big Apple. Let’s do it, peoples.
Oh my God: good for me that the tour is crystalizing BEFORE the Ann Arbor date rather than after. Can you say Lone Star for a post-MLK bash? Hook ’em Horns. . . .

Full band shows
Fly the boys into Heathrow and rock on, always my motto. Hope dr. W and/or TO and/or others will have a report. By my lights, it’s just past sound check time in Londontown right now, it being a quarter past noon US central.

Hugely looking forward to seeing Lucinda for the first time. Just in case the playlist hasn’t been finalised for the Saturday night in London, a plea for ‘I Can’t Let Go’. Two summers ago I drove my then fourteen year-old daughter, Tanner, and her friend to the South of France for a holiday. Just after dawn we were pounding south through the empty French countryside, the girls in the back with long faces because I had loaded Car Wheels on the hifi and had told them to take their earphones out of their ipods for at least half an hour. By the time we arrived back in the UK we had played all my LW albums over and over again and I had two dedicated fans who regard LW as the “American Adele”. Whenever Tanner’s friend climbs into my car the first thing they want to hear is ‘I Can’t Let Go’ and they air guitar all the way through it. They’d be ecstatic to hear it live! Have a good time in London Lucinda.
Well, both Adele and Lu are on the Dylan Amnesty International tribute record. Enjoy the show
.I will reinforce that tip, Paul: Sera opened for Lu once in Portland, and also was on the No Depression Fest bill in front of her in Seattle. Yet I didn’t realize tony was such a football fan and inclined to favor late night, post-pigskin acts.
