YAY!!!!! Got 6 lawn tickets!

Good morning everyone!

I'm stuck at work this morning. The past few years, I've had really good luck getting tickets from this computer. Here's hoping that continues. I got 2 virgins who wanna see Jimmy.

Exactly. I'm still in the finger-crossing, ticketmaster tiki god-praying, ticket-buying stage of concert season.

Isn't it weird that none of the concerts except for Hawaii next month have been announced and Detroit already has an on sale date??? And Margaritavill still says no tour dates announced. How did we get so lucky as to be the first one???? Maybe someone knows Detroit needs all the good news we can get?

OMG!!! YAY!!! I just saw the announcement about Jimmy coming to Detroit on the Free Press Website - http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090123/ENT04/901230455/-1/rss ! I did not think he'd come back here again this year. I'd been debating whether to go to Chicago or Cinci. Now I gues...

You're right! Credit to me! This year I don't expect to be so lucky. In our super tiny confined tailgating spaces I have big dreams to live out and this year is no different. In those tight spaces, maybe you need to think about expanding "up" and not "out". I'm thinking a 2nd-fl...

Now that's just rude. He should have shared

Chiming in late with my 2 cents. The staff did a great job. Tailgating went smoothly (if a little cozy), I appreciated the tons of restrooms, and getting in and out of the lot was a breeze. The few security & staff types I talked to were super friendly and obviously happy to have us. Now for the...

Apparently, I'm in the minority about the sound. We were in section 211 and everything sounded great EXCEPT JIMMY'S VOICE! The background music echoed off all the metal in the venue so much it almost drowned out the singing. One of my favorite things about the shows is the little stories and jokes h...

There was no problem with bottles. OK, it sounds like those that can should be at the KK (on Harlem, just south of Archer, and about 5600 south) by 11:40 or so to join in with Matt, and caravan over. BUT, everyone should know, whether you are in the caravan, or coming later---you are going south on...

Morning everyone! We're headed out as soon as we all get up, showered, dressed & pack the cars.

See ya'll in the Krispy Kreme lot manana!!!

Good morning! Today I start a well-deserved (IMHO) mini-vacation of Buffett and happiness.

Here is what is on the Toyota Park website regarding tailgate regulations (for all events). Tailgating Tailgating is permitted before TOYOTA PARK events as long as it is conducted in a safe and respectable manner. Activities must comply with proper fan decorum. Please adhere to the following polici...

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...

You and me both. I'm trying to ignore all the where to meet posts until someone tells us a definite time and place. My poor, confused little brain thanks me

Yay! Last day of w*rk before Chicago! 6:00 cannot come soon enough!

We no longer will be attending the concert.
Our four tickets are available at any reasonable price if anybody would like them.
They were $86 each, I won't put them on the exchange until tomorrow night .
See Y'all in '09!

I'm sorry to hear that.

Oh, and your setup looks awesome, Matt. Great job!

Just gotta get through 3 days of work, then it's off to Chicago!! Tonight I'm doing the annual Buffett shopping trip. Lots of Jello and booze, water (gotta stay hydrated), stuff to make some sweet treats, and a few easy munchies. The parental units are coming into town Thursday and we're all taking ...

Good morning---I'm the first one here :roll: Got up early to see my brother (Sno Bro :wink: ) off homewards in the mist at 6 am... I think I may have a nap soon, since it certainly doesn't feel like a beach day yet! I have to go home Thursday evening to pack for the Chicago trip--- some beads and t...
