I agree it’s a bit confusing, but the people who got those perks were founding members, which didn’t have anything to do with WHEN you signed up but what level of membership you signed up for. “Founding members” paid $100 or $200 annually (depending on whether you did it immediately or a bit later). Regular paid membership was at a lower price. I hope that clears up a little of the confusion. You can tell if you’re a founding member by the little badge that appears beside your name in the comments.
Same here Andrew. My membership just auto-renewed last month but I never received notice of any cool swag. I also don't see any reference to Founding Member or Captain's Club in my profile. Oh well...happy to support the Captain and his endeavors regardless. (But if anyone can shed some light on this, that would be cool)
Hey man, I’m sorry. I’m a tad hungover and I don’t understand how to change my plan in my profile. I’m blaming it on being 43 and hungover. Can you help me help the captain and all those aboard??
He’s a she. I was hungover one and I’m a she, and I probably did sneeze. STL is a son of B this time of year for allergies. Most importantly, I discovered how to do what I was wanting to do here on board. ✌️
Yeah, thanks for the blessing. Can someone tell me how to do this? I’m aboard and a subscribed member, but what y’all are describing is not an option on my profile.
Same here! I joined practically immediately but never got notice of swag or Founding Member title. Of course I didn't sign up for the swag or title, but knowing I missed out on cool stuff is disappointing.
I was in the same boat, member from the getgo but somehow missed the boat on the extra founding level signup. Amazingly, I have a fantastic Wilco-loving friend who shared some of the extra goodies. Wilco people are the best people. 😊 Happy to get on board with the Captain for year two!!
Got my lyric book (lovely) and the metallic coffee mug (with spider-vein cracks in the chrome from that one time I put it in the microwave - doh) sipping from it now. I'm thinking the patch next to our profile pic? Otherwise, didn't get a patch to put on my jean jacket, but would sure love that. Thank you for opening up the club to others. As a founding member, would love to see our ranks grow!
Jeff and the Band, I have all of your music going back to the early days of Uncle T; most of the road cases and I've been to many Wilco and solo concerts, including all but one SSF. But I have to tell you, that new hat? Looks like the little creature has a boner.
Now, I am reasonably certain you intended it to look like a guitar, but it's a little too blurred for that, IMHO. You may want to give the fretboard a little more definition.... or something. That's all for now. Thanks for reading. Ravin' Dave
Founding member swag suggestions: (1) festival blanket that looks like the Tweedy family IKEA curtains, (2) Starship Casual commerative lunchbox (a la Stuffinmyhouse collections), (3) limited edition Jeff Tweedy guide to hiking while on tour. Love ya Jeffy!
In keeping with the whole captain thing, I’m hoping that the CD is called BEING THARR and it’s all pirate sea shanties
Pirate sea shanty covers of Being There!
F-arrrrrr f-arrrrrrr away
Oh, and ah, Sunken Treasure? Would that fit?
I Got You (At the End of the Plank)
Sunken Treasure can stay as is. No notes.
Outta Sight (Out on the Plank)
Patch-Eyed and Blue
this made my morning, thank you :)
That hat graphic looks like a guy who’s… really, really excited to be on a hat.
Right? Anyone?
“Last year's membership included an autographed copy of Jeff’s new Lyric Book, an exclusive Starship Casual metallic coffee mug, and a patch”
What? How did I miss out on this? I’m year one, maybe minute one.

That explains everything. Thanks Diane! I didn't realize I wasn't in the super-special club...just upgraded.
Do you now feel a little more super-special? :D I look forward to that feeling. *reaches for her wallet*
I received the wonderful lyric book and mug, but no patch for some reason! What does the patch look like?!
My patch was in the signed lyric book. Take a look and hopefully you find it there :-)
Thanks so much! I’ll double-check!
ah. missed that "upgrade" communication somehow.

Super special tier, yo. In your profile, here on Substack, click on "change plan" and choose Captain's Club. You'll be glad you did.
Upgrade done...I didn't realize there were 2 tiers of paid membership. Happy to support the Captain!
just did the upgrade, happy to join yeCaptain & Co 💛🧡

43 and hungover! God bless you!
He didn’t sneeze, he’s just hung over! 😂
He’s a she. I was hungover one and I’m a she, and I probably did sneeze. STL is a son of B this time of year for allergies. Most importantly, I discovered how to do what I was wanting to do here on board. ✌️
😂😂😂
Jeez! I threw you a softball! Sweet! I laughed!
Yeah, thanks for the blessing. Can someone tell me how to do this? I’m aboard and a subscribed member, but what y’all are describing is not an option on my profile.
In your profile, click “change plan” and upgrade to the $200/yr tier.
I'm with you, I *thought* I was a founding member but maybe I wasn't?
Okay, I got it & by "got it" I mean I'm now in with the "In" crowd. 🎉
Can you help me “get it?” I’m a moron 😂
Same here! I joined practically immediately but never got notice of swag or Founding Member title. Of course I didn't sign up for the swag or title, but knowing I missed out on cool stuff is disappointing.
It happens. Life moves pretty fast. But now...you know! In your profile, here on Substack, click on "change plan" and choose Captains Club. 🥰
Thanks for clarifying, Dave! $200 is a bit dear at the moment, but Christmas IS coming up and I have yet to send my list to Santa! ;)
I think it actually comes out to $124.07. Merry Xmas 🎄
I’m super bummed, didn’t know about tier system…
Never too late to upgrade!
Thank you, Dave!!!
I also missed that

Same. I got one unsigned book. I hate to complain, but I want that cool stuff 😀
I upgraded & look forward to having Jeff & Susie for dinner soon. 😉
If you are doing a CD of demos/covers: that Bowie cover of Heroes must be track 1!!
Yes!
I’m just posting to see the cool badge:)
Same here! :)
Oooh....I have badge envy.
Also, I will always be a Founding Member!
VIP visits to rehearsals or The Loft.
YESS! Please!

Is your patch in your lyric book? Mine was.
I LOVE the Starship Casual logo, and would love it on a white bucket hat. 🙏❤️🥳
I'm looking forward to reading/hearing all you have to share in the next year and beyond.
I love the bucket hat idea!
I second the bucket hat!
I’m a fan of the bucket hat idea 😀
Not to be too pushy...but I need one of those hats...pronto. Please and thank you😁
Just checking to make sure my badge is still there!

Any word on vinyl release of CC? Thank you.
Any chance SC's 1st CD could also be a digital download? And please include Miserable on the list we get to vote on!
I would also like to hear "How to fight loneliness" on the CD. And "You are my face." <3 (That's a heart.)
Ooph! Maybe I didn’t understand the criteria. Carry on...
Badge Test...
Same here.
Me too !
