We're so sad hearing this news. Thinking of you often, Eric, during these tough times. Glad we were able to meet your Dad in Cincinnati.

Ten years later, and the teenage girl from Hoot takes home an Academy Award....

We got that too, but finally broke in at 12:15. Keep trying.

Four of us trying for tix, finally two were able to break thru and get our lawn seats. I think it was 12:15 or so before our first person got in.

Jimmy made the announcement right at the beginning of the Key West show.

I'd pay to watch/download that event.

Sail on, Connie. I will hear your laughter in my mind for a long, long, time.

Been thinking about you all week, Connie. Much love headed your way.

Thanks for all the updates here on BN.

Just saw the news here. Thanks for the updates.

Much, much Phin Power and many prayers headed your way, Connie. We'll both be thinking of your ever-smiling face often today.

I sure miss Pine Knob. 1000X this. I've been to about a dozen venues, it's one of my top two, and not just because it's my local show. It seems the Ilitches got their fingers into Buffett and don't want to let go. But I don't know how Pine Knob can compete financially with these much larger downtow...

The problem is not rain its the ground. If its to soft none will be able to park there and will be directed to limited garage parking blocks away Olympia will need to make that decision by 7 a.m., if they are going to stick to the time they've advertised. I can see them turning people away, only to...

100% chance of rain. You don't see that very often.

I don't mind some rain at 80 degrees, but when the high is predicted to be 70 that could be pretty damp and chilly.

I'll likely drag my kids down Weds to scope it all out.... Now I just need the f**** fish flies to hold off! Walked through the area on Sunday afternoon and didn't see any. Are they more of a nighttime thing? If so, they might be a problem for Jimmy and the band under the lights, not so much for th...

Around Wednesday afternoon I'll start putting a little faith in the forecast for Thursday. And no matter what it is, I'll still be bringing sunglasses and an umbrella.

So far I see two 12:00 and two 2:00 arrivals. I plan on being there by 9:00. If any of you want to exchange phone #'s message me. I will be happy to give parking lot updates Thursday morning!!! Our group is looking at a 1:30 arrival. Check your PMs, I would love an update on the parking situation.

Got a reply from Olympia today. Nothing we didn't already know, but I'll pass it along... Thanks for your inquiry. Here is the link for the map: http://olympiaentertainment.s3.amazonaws.com/img/west-riverfront-park-parking-map.jpg The West Riverfront and Olympia Development lots do in fact open at 7...

So what are people thinking about tailgate locations?!? Sounds like on the Olympia page that they will have parking on site. 7am start....but a workday might defer some from a crazy start... Wondering at noon where we might land with our crew....anyone else? I emailed Olympia about tailgating in th...

A Freep review of the Hoedown show on Friday. A couple of things I didn't like (hope they fix them before the Buffett show) Lines of portable toilets blocked the river view from much of the main festival site Really? That's where you decide to set up the portable toilets? And, of course, there was t...

Ferry service between Key West (and other Florida cities) and Havana could be just around the corner. Four Florida companies are approved, and waiting for approval from Cuba.
