Oh yeah it was hot, but being from Toronto it was delightful to be hot hot hot in February. Nothin wrong with sitting outside under a tree in a bar in paradise, singing, dancing and drinking with friends!

We chartered a sailboat in St. Maarten and sailed down to St. Barth's for Mardi Gras in February, and we saw Continental Drifter in Gustavia so we knew Jimmy was prolly in town. Spent some fun times with our friends Pat and Lloyd, who took us to Le Select and introduced us to Marius Stakelborough, t...

Hi everyone, I just tried to go to Margaritaville.com and the page partially loaded then I got a window popping up saying that my AVG virus detection was blocking access due to a threat. The threat is called Exploit Javascript Obfuscation (type 905) with Process name C:\Program Files\Internet Explor...

Too bad about Ilo. Glad I saw him in Key West while I had the chance! He's got quite the stage presence and it takes a lot of "presence" to get my attention off Peter Mayer. In past years Buffett has done an encore with a song by a Canadian artist - Lightfoot's Early Morning Rain last year...

Ooooops, sorry, didn't mean to steal the page 11 start from Caly! When you want to start a new page, you can't; when you don't, you do. Or something like that.

Maybe Boat Drinks in Toronto?? He'll do Boat Drinks at some point! Last time in Toronto he introduced it as "the only song I ever wrote about hockey", and this time he's actually playing in a hockey arena, the home of the Toronto Maple Leafs. I hope Ilo comes. One of my friends (Derek, if...

Hey fabduo - nice kitties!

Oh and I forgot to mention - in this article in the Toronto Star, Buffett said he "still has good friends in Toronto; pals he plans to join for an oyster roast featuring some of P.E.I.'s finest while he's in town." http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/music/article/725709--parrotheads-keep...

Well I'm glad I stumbled on this thread! I was looking to see if anyone knew about the Maple Reefers pre-concert par-tay and it looks like y'all are in the know. Unfortunately I can't make it to the party but I sure will be at the concert. I was in a bit of a funk, still catching up at work after be...

Does anybody know what happened to the November dates? Disappeared from Margaritaville & Google Earth?? But seriously, pholks! Everyone here in Toronto thought he was coming in November so hardly anyone looked for Detroit or Pixburgh tix and now we are soooo worried that we are SOL!!! Anyone go...

Well don't that beat all. I've been to Anegada many times too and I'm just kicking myself that this is the one time I missed going on our annual trip! Some great pics at that bvipirate.com site. Funny how nobody in the background behind Buffett is smiling. If I had been there you still couldn't wipe...

A friend of mine just got back from a sailing trip and said that Jimmy performed while his group was there. Anegada is sort of an out-island of the British Virgin Islands and relatively remote and unpopulated. Not that far from St. Barts, tho, and it does have an air landing strip. Anybody else hear...

Linda "Barefoot'n" Beatty from the Toronto Maple Reefers here. Thanksabunch for the kudos for our pre-concert parties we have had for the last coupla concerts. We worked really hard on them to try and make them a good replacement for real tailgating. They woulda been better if Ontario Plac...

Wow, thanks for the great feedback, PJack! I'll pass this on to the members of our Club who worked long and hard to make the party happen! :( Sorry to hear about yer mum, Barb, and hope she feels better soon (oops, wrong thread, but I still mean it). Phirst Phriday "jam nite" was phun, wit...

Aloha everyone! Just a quick note to thank everone for coming to Tronno to see Jimmy and party with the Maple Reefers, and thanks too for the kind words from everyone from BN I met at the pre-party. Sorry I missed so many others, and sorry I didn't spend much time with anyone due to running around t...

Hey if any of you's are still in Tronno on Friday, you are invited to the Toronto Maple Reefers monthly "meeting" on Sept. 7th at the Keating Channel Pub starting around 7pm. (Directons on www.maplereefers.ca) Someone is promising to have a replay of Wednesday's concert there, but don't as...

If yer adding special someones to the list, mine is Pete the Fin. We're sitting somewhere in the 300's with the rest of the Maple Reefers. Why Pete the Fin? Peter's middle name is Finlay, after his grandfather Finlay who they used to call Fin. I thought it was soooo appropriate for a Parrothead - ma...

Good golly Miss Molly we hit page 14....and at record speed :o 33 1/3 or 16 RPM? :roll: sure wasn't 45 or 78... It has been a bit slow. There's a BN guy who makes the nametags, but I know how, too... my homemade ones turn out pretty well... to be discussed... You'll get an ophishul Maple Reefers la...

No rain in downtown Tronno and none predicted except for "maybe" later in the week. Looks like it's staying to the south of us, unfortunately, 'cos we need it BAD! We have a little pond and waterfall in the yard and all the neighbourhood birds, raccoons, squirrels and SKUNKS :o keep visiti...
