Whatever words I type into this blog will not give the show that I saw it’s due. Wilco played The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater and it was an experience.

DAYTIME

The show was in Miami Beach and that gave me an excuse to take a half day at work and spend the late afternoon drinking on South Beach.

I headed down towards The Fillmore around 6:30 and decided on dinner at Pizza Rustica which was just around the corner from where I parked.

We gathered up a crew of about 8 and headed south down I-95 for an afternoon of sun, sand and drinking. Continue reading
