Wilco Arrives at Mass MoCA| 04:10PM / Wednesday, June 19, 2013 | |
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Solid Sound Festival doesn't start until Friday evening but the signs of its arrival are evident.
The Wilco letters were hoisted above one of the entrances to Joe's Field at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art on Wednesday afternoon. It's a good sign after 2011's rainy weather left the letters groundside — though they did provide a great backdrop for numerous fan photos.
The weather is finally looking good — cross your fingers — so we're hoping for nice days this weekend for visitors and residents alike.
The music had already started as a practice session could be heard

The "tent city" within walking distance of Main Street is being operated by the city through the emergency responders who volunteer with the ROPES program, a day camp for promoting teamwork and leadership in area youngsters.
The board did put some restrictions on the camp, reducing the proposed number of 300 down to 275 and eliminating farther-flung sites behind the ballfield as safety measures.
The ruling comes after several meetings, including a public hearing last week that focused on safety and sanitation.

11:06PM / Tuesday, April 26, 2011 | |
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Tickets for Wilco's Solid Sound Festival are selling quicker than last year.
"We'll have at least as many as we had last year and probably more," said Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art Director Joseph Thompson on Tuesday. "Ticket sales are tracking nicely above what they were at the t-minus 80 days, year-to-year count."
One of the big reasons tickets sales are up, Thompson told the Mass MoCA Cultural Development Commission, is because it is being held earlier in the summer and there are more available hotel rooms.
