The Stagecoach represents the highest achievements in design for horse-drawn transportation and includes many features that made it a flexible and reliable vehicle. It was well-suited to the rough trails and rugged terrain of the West and was used widely during the second half of the nineteenth century.

Awww, I was out of town for that show ;(
But other than that weekend (which also had 2 Chicago shows), I've seen 'em every time they've played in WI and/or IL since.. 2003, I think? Or maybe 2002? Whenever they opened for Clem Snide at Luther's Blues (!!). Every show seems to be more awe-inspiring and amazing than the last.
I'm equally jealous, having first seen them opening for the Decemberists a few years back (2005?). They do just keep getting better, though.

Okkervil River played an awesome (and long!) show last September in Madison. Seeing them in a bigger venue for such a great price will be a dream come true!
