Have stayed there 3-4 times. Nice place to stay, friendly staff and good value. Never felt I was in the wrong part of town but there are bad people in this world (even Key West)...Pretty good walk (I dunno 10-12 blocks) down to the party end of Duval. Stayed there in 2001 or so when Hurricane Michel...

A little note about the Surf and Sand Hotel and Splashes the bar. Jimmy and the band would stay there each year when they played Irvine. A few years ago Jimmy moved elsewhere (Four Seasons?)

My first "concert" was Jefferson Airplane at my high school in 1967..........
yeah, I'm old...

SunFest was held near Lakeland out in the country. Parking and camping was just in a cleared lot. Concert held on a long temporary stage built for just that event (I think). Another concert was the Bob Dylan Rolling Thunder Review at St Pete in '76. Somehow we were given two tix to a private concert...

Vaguely remember SunFest on April 1-2 1977. Margaritaville had JUST been released and I had never heard of it yet. I was a BIG A-1-A and Havana DayDreamin fan, but being a Buffett fan then is a lot diff'rent than today. A friend of mine now was at the concert then (did not know him then) and he has ...

Way back 23 years ago TODAY, Jimmy played at the US Festival in Southern California. He played at 10AM right after The Greatful Dead. Attendance each day was between 200,000-400,000, but for Jimmy there had to be around 150,000. Must admit not all were giving him 100% attention.

Haven't noticed anyone post this yet...Back in '99 bought expensive $$$ Millenium Show tix and because demand was low and price high they added a bunch of stuff. Two tix to any show for each ticket for the Millenium Show. Ended up with 2 sixth row center in Irvine (oh, Irvine, such a great place for...

Whoa, sometimes the truth hurts

Sorry, but I think that site is right on point and hilarious

JB fan since '75 and also rph

All Garrys' are too cool... RR

Just got back from a six week roadtrip with SIRIUS and a new car stereo (sub,power,speakers=$4000). Those that have SIRIUS certainly have found the OUTLAW station. Very cool, with music from the DEAD, Haggard,all the Hank Williams', John Prine etc... Have not listened to Prine until recently and he ...

Will be staying at the Flamingo, and by the way I checked out prices for rooms at the Flamingo now... $400/night for Friday and Saturday. Glad I got reservations when show was announced...

I sat on the left side of the state in that section a few years ago. You are fairly close to the stage, but on the side. Last year I sat stage center but in the back section of MGM about 12 rows from the floor and I liked those seats better. Just personal preference. U18 and U20 are close but the si...

There are a few songs on Hot Water that I like, whereas MOST songs on Off to See the Lizard are really good (acutally everything except the mermaid song and the Lunch song). Changing Channels, is that the first Mac song Buffett did??? P.S. I would really enjoy remastered CDs-esp the first four album...

In October, Irvine Meadows (he has to go back) and Petco Park in San Diego

A Flyer, many thanks for your response

I have a few technical questions about the "Corporation". So Buffett starts an aviation corporation for his planes then depreciates them and "rents" the planes from himself. In the end this ends up to be a tax savings? Is this anywhere near the reason or would someone with more b...

JAHFIN, I am 53 and have thorougly enjoyed Buffett since "75, but I constantly bow to your insightfulness about music and Buffett topics...

***SITC*** PM me with your phone if you have one, I will be solo up at Anaheim, but starting a two month road trip with 3 Buffett concerts (Anaheim,VEGAS, and Phoenix). Would like to meet up with you at the Pond. Will get back around June 1 to start OTL practice...RR

I have no idea if this will happen, but possilbly there will be a fall West Coast tour with dates in Vegas (again, that's fine with me), Irvine and San Diego...

Totally not Buffett, but an excellent show. Mr. Utley, I believe, is musical coordinator for the show. Springsteen, Jackson Browne,Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, k.d. lang, (that's all I can remember off the top of my bald head)...Great show...
