Wilco @ McCarren Pool (more by Ryan Muir)

Assuming Wilco will actually be in the studio with Stephen Colbert, that sorta means Wilco is playing a NYC show today, for those lucky enough to be in the studio audience, which I suppose still could be anyone…
Everyone attending must be at least 18 years old. Tickets are non-transferable. You may sign up for stand-by tickets in front of the studio at 4pm (we can’t guarantee admission). We are at 513 W. 54th Street in NYC. [Colbert Report tickets]
Wilco’s next regularly scheduled NYC shows happen in December.
