Jeff Tweedy at The Vic to benefit Emanuel & Montessori (Updates to prices)
Folks, this is one announcement I've been promising for ages. Jeff Tweedy from Wilco is doing a benefit for things that are important to his family. One of those happens to be my synagogue, Emanuel Congregation in Edgewater. To that I say HOLY MOLEY!!! JEFF TWEEDY IS DOING A SHOW TO BENEFIT OUR SYNAGOGUE!!!!
Where? The Vic
When? February 13 and 14
How much? Golden Circle tickets (for parents at his kid's school and Emanuel members) are $250 $150. These tickets go on sale via Ticketmaster or at The Vic box office, Friday, January 16th at noon through Saturday. The Vic Box office is open from noon to 5PM.
General Admission tickets are $150 $100 and (if there are any left) go on sale on Tuesday, January 20th via Ticketmaster and at The Vic.
Do you know what singer songwriter Obama likes?
(Our flyer suggests we all go to the Saturday night show, since Friday night show is on Shabbat.)
UPDATE: Thanks to Jeff's lovely wife Susan for clearing this all up on another forum. Yay!
UPDATE 2: This has been confusing...
Priority tickets go on sale today through tomorrow with a special password for people associated with the causes. This are at the Vic or at Ticketmaster.

UPDATE 4
I got my tickets yesterday (just before Obama took the oath of office) and there were still $250 and $150 tickets available. $100 will be available starting on Friday if any remain.
UPDATE 5 (February 4)
The show is NOT sold out (yet). Additional tickets are going to be released on Friday. These include $100 Floor seats and $50 Balcony seats.
Leah, I was in Chicago last Friday and went to the very fun Family Shabbat
at your supercool synagogue. I was hoping to see you there--maybe next
time! I love your cantor! What a beautiful building (and location).
I had a friend in town, Y-Love, so I was down in lakeview at Shabbat dinner
with him. So glad you got to hang out at Emanuel!
Susan cleared up some of the prices on another forum. first round of
tickets aren't $250, but $150. Second round tickets are $100.
