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.
- Supported by
- Dated marquee photograph and chronology
- Still open
- The interpretation remains explicitly editorial
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.
