Re: Who's Going to Chicago???

Does anyone know anything about shuttles to and from Wrigley. I'm coming in from down state and don't know the area, but I know parking and traffic can be a nightmare. Any advice would be appreciated!

Re: Chicago show

Parking is always a nightmare in Chicago. According to an article in the Tribune that I saved, Wrigley Field Parking opened 3 hours prior to the show and stayed open 1 hour afterward. No tailgating allowed. Parking was for sale on-line. Am I allowed to name the site? The Cubs operated a shuttle and ...

12 Days of Christmas, Parrothead Style

I saw a piece in the paper saying that the 12 days of Christmas now costs $34,363, so I decided to price out 12 days of Christmas. I came up with a total of10.052.02. According to the song: 12 Landshark Lagers $12.49 on sale at our local supermarket. 11 Lulu Cookbooks at her website $19.99 each $219...

Re: Help save and restore Miami Marine Stadium

JB should release "Live by the Bay" on DVD (possibly expanded with DVD extras) and donate the proceeds to the project.

Shark After Dark

Does anyone else think JB is missing the boat (get it, missing the boat?) by not having the band on Discovery Channel's Shark After Dark talk show? I watched every evening and thought it was the perfect venue for him. I would bring in the whole band.

Re: Any guesses on cover songs/ tributes this year?

Gotta be Glenn. JB performed on "Greeks Don't Want No Freaks" on the Long Run album. My guess is we'll hear Take It Easy and Gypsies back to back.

Re: Mention on the show "South Beach Classics"

Savannah has a blog on Twitter. She has posted pictures of a car that looks about like that one. The name of the car was Rita. About 6 months ago she posted something like this: "RIP radical Rita...if you were gonna go out at least you did so in flames!!!"

Re: Big Fish review

I went to see the play last spring when it was playing in Chicago. It was about the best play I've ever seen. If you get a chance you should absolutely go see it.

Re: A POSITIVE experience at the Chicago show!!!

I have a question. The venue was next to the lake as I understand. Were there any "boat people"? I'm thinking like there were at the Miami Marine Stadum show that's on VHS?

Re: Have you seen Big Fish?

Went to see the play last weekend in Chicago. It was excellent. The program didn't say much about Jimmy. It said something about in association with Parrothead Productions. In the Who's Who, it said Parrothead Productions is Jimmy and Frank Marshall.

Re: Name that tune

Try "Live by the Bay". The song is "Ragtop Day" he's improvising at the end and says he's going to stop by Alabama Jack's for a cold one, then something about on to Key West, "where I can get anything I want".

Re: Will "Don't Stop the Carnival" ever come back to the stage?

I wonder if Herman Wouk was happy with the way the play turned out. I noticed that in his latest book "The Language God Talks" on the page where they list Fiction, NonFiction and plays, they list "Don't Stop the Carnival" as a book, and "The Traitor", The Caine Mutiny C...

This is the campground at the Mark Twain Cave, where I would imagine that Tully camped out during his stay in Hannibal.
