WILCO!

Way back in May, Josh saw that one of his favorite bands, Wilco, was coming to Salt Lake in August. It didn't take much for Janae to realize that this concert was a big deal, so we snatched up two tickets just before they sold out. Since then we've been counting down the days to the big show (August 18 was a long time coming). But, it was all absolutely worth it - the show was incredible. We showed up a few minutes before the gates opened and ended up pretty far back in a line that had obviously started with people camping out a long time before we even left Provo. Once we got inside we staked out a great spot towards the back. We were pretty surprised at how full the place was - the people just kept coming and coming. Apparently Wilco has a pretty good following around here. We watched a little TV on Josh's iPod while we waited for the show to get started until The Fleet Foxes came out to open things up. They sounded pretty good, but it was no secret that everyone was there to see Jeff Tweedy and Co. Wilco took the stage right around 8 o'clock and played for over two hours. Josh was happy as could be snapping pictures through the whole show. As the sun was setting some turned out better than others, but we walked away with a few pretty good ones.

When he wasn't taking pictures or singing along, Josh was keeping track of what songs they played. By the end of the night the list had 24 songs on it! They played a great show and then came back for two encores. It was awesome.
When things wrapped up we decided to hang out for a few minutes and let the crowd clear out before we headed back to the car.
While we were waiting, we took advantage of some cowboy's forgotten hat for a perfect souvenir shot to remember how perfect the show was. But, that wasn't the only souvenir. Josh has been longing for some nice office art, and when he saw this art deco concert poster, he decided that it would be the perfect addition to any office. It's hard to imagine that Josh could be any more of a Wilco fan, but this concert just might have done it. And after a show like this Janae can definitely understand why.
