I also hope they aren't thinking about changing Pittsburgh venues. Star Lake is a great place for concerts. I hate shows at sports stadiums.

C'mon Pittsburgh! C'mon Pittsburgh! C'mon Pittsburgh!

Let's all say it together and stomp our feet. Maybe it'll work like a rain dance and speed things up...

The Square Grouper is also mentioned in one of Jim Morris' songs (but I can't recall which one off the top of my head...)

Any Jim Morris fans out there happen to know?

So when are we all gettin' together for a Greensburg/Pittsburgh pre-concert warmup? It's never too early to start! Any suggestions for good bars/restaurants? On a related note, the Pittsburgh Parrothead Club (Steel City Fins) does a great pub crawl in the Strip District every year in May. Anyone in ...

Hi Red Parrot! My first show was in '94. I've luckily managed to get tickets to every Pittsburgh show since. I even got to go twice in '97, back when Jimmy still did back-to-back Friday/Saturday shows here. Oh, and I've got a Greensburg connection too. I used to work for a computer game developer th...

Hey! BuckeyeParrothead and Reefdiver! How you guys been? I've been encased in ice all winter and I'm ready for Buffett! I'm SO looking forward to seeing you guys and your crew again this year. We need a confirmed date! I'm having withdrawal. You guys should just come to the 'Burgh now...I'll take ev...

My first show was in '94, and the heavy-duty all-day tailgating was in full effect at that point, so we need to hear from some veterans!

I haven't missed a 'Burgh show since '94, and this year the suspense is killin' me! By the way, everyone in this thread- if we get a show (hands clasped in prayer, burning incense, chanting, etc.), make sure you come find me so I can give a you a Margarita. I'll be the the guy in the grass skirt and...

Please put me down for a rainbow one if there's a choice. If not, put me down for whatever color you end up with the most of.

Here's my votes:

-rainbow color scheme (you can never have too much color, right?)
-B3 style clip

Assuming he comes to Pittsburgh this year, it'll be 11 for me. I started going to the 'Burgh shows back in '94, and haven't missed a year yet. Went twice a few years ago when he still did back-to-back Friday/Saturday shows in Pittsburgh). Someday I gotta see him in another city. I hear such great th...

This is my wife's famous recipe that she's perfected over the last 10 years. It's known as the "Hello, What's My Name?" Margarita. - 1.5 parts clear (not gold) tequila. We prefer "Sauza Commemorativo." - .5 part Cointreau - 1 part Rose's lime juice. make sure it's lime JUICE and ...

Put me down for one! Add ol' Craiger to the list.

Great idea, by the way- anything to make it easier to find each other at concerts & events!

There are a lot of online stores that sell them both in bulk and individually (if you do keyword searches on words like "lanyards" and "badge holders", you'll get a TON of results.) Most of these places also do custom printing, so if you're buying for a club or organization, you ...

Hey MM, I don't know if you've been to the last few Pittsburgh shows, but late August in Pittsburgh is anything but chilly! The shows over the last 3-4 years have been friggin' hot! Personally, I'd like to see Pittsburgh earlier in the schedule because June doesn't have the killer humidity and heat ...

Wow. It's saddening to hear all these "no tailgating" stories year after year. :cry: It seems every summer there's a new one. It looks like there's getting to be quite a few venues that prohibit tailgating. I'm surprised they can enforce it. What do they do? Arrest the whole parking lot? I...

Just a quick plug-

The tags are awesome! Wade was kind enough to make me one last year and it looks great! It occupies the top spot on my lanyard, front and center.

It's also how I spotted Desdamona last year at MOTM. Very handy!

These may be obvious, and all may not apply to your ticket-buying situation, but here's a few tips: - Numbers matter. The more people you can recruit to help buy, the better. - Diversify as much as possible. Have some folks in line at outlets, and others elsewhere using computers for online sales. H...

Yeah, I'm hoping they announce soon. I always get impatient this time of year! And of course, there's the ever-present fear that they'll drop Pittsburgh...

*reminiscing about the good ol' days when Jimmy played TWO nights in the 'Burgh*

Here in Pittsburgh we have a quasi-independent station (WYEP) that's known for playing mainly non-mainstream stuff. I remember they had "Fruitcakes" in their rotation a few years back. Like other folks have mentioned, I seem to hear Jimmy's stuff most often in restaurants and retail places...
