Wolf Trap Wilco

Leave a comment

Wilco puts on a great show, and the Thursday night show at Wolf Trap was no exception.  Almost.  The venue has great sound but does sap energy.  By the end of the show the band had everyone up on their feet dancing (finally).

Here are some pictures and videos from the show.  We’ll start with my very favorite Wilco song, Impossible Germany…extended jam version.

 

 

I Am Trying to Break Your Heart

 

 

Extended Wilco Jam…

 

 

I’m Always In Love

 

 

Jesus, Etc.

 

 

Heavy Metal Drummer

A Shot in the Arm

 

About the only thing that needs work here is the Wolf Trap ticketing system…which just sucks.  It forced us to sit separately from our super fun Wilco friends.  Alas.

But at least we had a great picnic before the show.

 

Day Trip to Stradbroke Island (aka Straddie)

1 Comment

Part of the fun of the Yow Conference circuit in Australia is the days in between sessions. We were slated to sail a huge catamaran in the ocean, but the seas were too high. So we refactored with a visit to Stradbroke Island.

Here’s how that went.

Ferry from the mainland to the island on a bus!

A picnic lunch with the fellow geeks and beer.

A walk on the Point Lookout trail

Spectacular cliffs (and a couple of sharks)

Kangaroos in the wild

Gelato in “town,” followed by a dip in the (pretty damn cold) ocean. The swim was wild.

Beaches

Water taxi back to mainland.

The seas were rough on the way back as the sun was setting.

Amy, leader of geeks made us all get wet!

Instigator

A warm shower back at the hotel was welcome indeed!
