WILCO: A BENEFIT FOR HURRICANE RELIEF

From Wilcoweb.com:

Greetings friends,

We felt so good about the autographed poster auction and the $17k that it raised for Hurricane relief that we're raising the stakes (and the potential cash). We've just put the finishing touches on a benefit concert (headlined by Wilco, of course) at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago on Tuesday, November 1.

Proceeds from this show will benefit the New Orleans Musician Relief and Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans

Pre-sale via Wilcoworld will take place on Thursday, October 13 at 10 am CDT, and the remaining tickets go on sale Saturday, October 15 at the Auditorium Theatre Box Office and via Ticketmaster.

Tickets are $50 and $35.

But some Wilco fans may want to wait until Friday to purchase tickets. By purchasing opera box tickets, they won't have to mingle with the liberal hoi polloi.

In addition there will be a number of opera boxes sold via a special sale that will begin on Friday, October 14 via wilcoworld. The price for those will be:

16 four-seat boxes @ $600 per box
19 six-seater boxes @ $1,000 per box

Now, somebody go tell Parillo.
