Contratian that I am, I always find threads like this a little disturbing. To me they come across as wanting everyone to think alike and any dissenting view is seen as "negative". I prefer to live in the real world where different people, even if they all have something in common, have di...

I was thinking about writing something aswell, but I couldnt have said it any better than you did! I understand some of the frustration that people are having as I have experienced the same thing, but when it comes down to it, Jimmy has brought a great amount of joy to my life, as I am sure he has f...

We are definitely lagging behind the first Vegas weekend thread. I just posted in the ticket exchange, but I thought I would put it here also, I need 2 tickets for the show, so if anybody has any they need to get off their hands I would love to take them from you! Now lets go catch up to the other t...

I am hoping we can find a room there still. I have heard the pool is great, and I can't argue with being so close to Margaritaville, especially if Nadirah is playing there Friday.

I rarely post but I lurk here all the time, and I have never felt the need to weigh in on a topic as much as this one. First, as far as Jimmy's "requests" go...it is his right to set whatever tone he wants for his show. I have to imagine the vendors only having Bud products is part of the ...

Re: South Side of Chicago

I've been reading these forums for a few weeks now anticipating the concert on Saturday at Toyota Park. What I am suprised to see is that no one has mentioned any concern about the location of this concert. I mention this because the area of Bridgeview and Bedford Park can get pretty rough. As a li...

I would love to hear him play Happily Ever After as an encore in Chicago, also I would have to imagine that he will be playing Tonight I Just Need my Guitar, Someday I Will, and Growing Older But Not Up at some point on this tour. It would also be great to hear He Went to Paris.

Very sad story. I dont think this is any indication of how parrotheads act on both sides of the story. There are plenty of people who just go to the shows to get messed up and they act like jerks. I have ran into them over the years, and I have even been with a few over the years. The guy deserves t...

This is going to be a great weekend.

If it rains the lawn is going to be a mess but it should be interesting. Some of ...

I like the idea, but I think it would ruin Fins. Fins is best when you can see the whole crowd with their hands up. At the beginning of the show people are usually still coming in and getting settled down.
