Tweedy Doing a Solo Show to Benefit a Synagogue, School & Disorder
Jeff Tweedy is playing two solo shows at The Vic February 13 and 14 to benefit three things close to his heart: Emanuel Congregation in Edgewater (his family's synagogue), Near North Montessori (his children's school) and Kawasaki disease prevention (teen blogger Spencer Tweedy suffers from the disease; Wilco and Tweedy have played benefit shows for the disease in the past.)
A certain number of "Golden Circle" tickets have been held for parents from the school and Emanuel members for $250. General admission tickets go on sale this Friday, Jan. 16, at noon via Ticketmaster or at the Vic box office, 3145 N Sheffield. Early reports pegged general admission at $150 a pop, but Ticketmaster lists them as $100.

I grew up with a kid who had Kawasaki disease. It was scary for a time, but luckily he made it through.
