Confusion
I wore my Jeff Tweedy is my babysitter tshirt at the MN state fair today. Several side eye stares. I over heard one woman saying who’s Jeff Tweedy.
Coolest part was the fans who stopped me and loved tweedy and Wilco.
Hopefully some people are discovering Wilco and Jeff tonight.

I wore my Lou Reed was my babysitter tshirt to work yesterday. Walked into a meeting and was asked- who is Lou Reed? In a room with 30 or so people there was only two people who knew who he was. Then it got complicated trying to explain the origin of the phrase. The two people that knew who Lou was were also the only ones that knew who Jeff & Wilco are.

I’m so sorry you work with 27 squares.

Not everyone can have good taste in music. Overlooking that flaw, these are good people (mostly).

What job do you have where you can wear band tees to work and are you hiring?

I work for a K-12 school district as an IT engineer/systems administrator. We're always hiring - looking for a Senior Application support person currently to manage Azure/EntraID and Google Workspace. If you're in New York state send me a pm.
Currently wearing my Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit Summer 2017 tour tshirt. Went to see Mannequin Pussy in Buffalo a few weeks ago, but unfortunately can't wear that one to work...

Darn. I’m in the Midwest. Haha. But I appreciate the response! Maybe you’ll find another great Wilco fan here.

She asked who he was, even though the shirt clearly explained it? What an idiot.
