Our Name on the Door

The brass nameplate made the milestone visible. The schedule around it shows how quickly the work was expanding.

Flagship story 05 · December 2–7, 2013

On December 4, 2013, the band’s name was on a dressing-room door at Conan. Three days later, it appeared beneath Dwight Yoakam’s on the Warfield marquee.

Evidence and scope · corroborated chronology with held personal context

The dated chronology and photographs establish the public week. More personal recollections from the same period are held for review.

Dated photographs and the working chronology establish the December 2013 television and Warfield sequence. The private experience is an attributed participant account; the memoir's inconsistent later date is not used to override the stronger chronology.

Evidence notes

The chronology places Jimmy Kimmel Live! on December 2 and Conan on December 4. A dated photograph of the Conan dressing-room door records the band's name inside the Warner Bros. lot.

The artifact is modest, almost administrative. That is why it works: a printed nameplate makes the public achievement legible without requiring retrospective grandeur.

Evidence notes

National television was one stop inside a six-day sequence of tapings, travel, and performances. The public record shows the pace without claiming access to every private experience behind it.

A more personal firsthand account from this period remains preserved but is held from the visitor site while its scope is reconsidered.

San Francisco · December 7

The name grew larger outside

Three days after Conan, the Warfield marquee placed The Wild Feathers beneath Dwight Yoakam. Television stages, highways, and another room to play.

Evidence notes

Three days after Conan, the Warfield marquee placed The Wild Feathers beneath Dwight Yoakam. The photograph completes the public side of the week: television stages, highways, and the band's name moving into larger type.

Read with the dressing-room account, the marquee becomes evidence of a widening distance between visible career momentum and private sustainability. That reading is editorial inference, not proof of anyone else's perception.
