The staff at the store was helpful and kind, and I am grateful to them for a couple of things.

The direction that the clothing line seems to be going is Margaritaville Apparel, which can be accessed on Margaritaville.com under the shopping link. Margaritaville apparel can be bought online, and it is also being distributed through stores such as Bass Pro Shop and beach stores. Thanks for the ...

I went back and reread the article on the International Meal Company purchasing Margaritaville restaurants. Here are a few thoughts that probably won't amount to much. International Meal Company (IMC) has purchased most of the Margaritaville restaurants. Clear exceptions are Margaritaville Orlando, ...

This is sad! I went to that store every time I went to Key West.

For those of you who purchased premier parking, I found out yesterday through Ticketmaster that the parking passes will be mailed by the venue--Cruzan--about ten days prior to the show, around April 16.

A few years ago the name of the tour was "The Year of Still Here." That could have been a way of announcing a farewell tour. A couple of years ago the name of the tour was "Welcome to Fin Land." That could have been a way of announcing, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached o...

This is my least favorite topic on BuffettNews. He's not retiring, guys. There's nothing to retire from. He's already retired. Playing twenty-some manageable dates a year is what retirement looks like to Buffett. He's not going anywhere. He would be miserable in retirement, and, more importantly, J...

Man, What an awesome show that would be! Bubba, Jimbo, and the trophy on stage!! Since my kids are still attending that fine school, I have "no additional cost" accomodations!! :lol: It's interesting that this rumor popped up here, as my daughter heard the same thing at the Celebration th...

Do you think anymore Florida dates will be announced, or do you think West Palm and Tampa are it?

Did not enjoy this article. The writer is such a Buffett fan that he has no objectivity. Also, this is a four page article; if you took the quotes from Buffett and listed them together, they wouldn't fill half a page. Too much of the reporter. Not enough Buffett. And a complete lack of objectivity. ...

I just logged in to live nation and they have premier parking available for $45. What does that money get you? Can you get in the lots say around 9 am if you buy one? Nothing better than breakfast tailgating!! Lol Thank you for the tip. I just went back on to Ticketmaster and bought parking. So, we...

Had a bad Ticketmaster experience Friday morning. Logged into LiveNation the moment tickets went on sale. Had a one minute wait for two tickets, my wife and I. Section 4 came up. I tossed those back because section 4 is upper side, and the sound is not good in that section and section 8 as well, at ...

Went onto Ticketmaster today and made sure that my account is up to date. Ready for Friday morning. I would recommend avoiding sections 4 and 8, as they are way on the sides and it is difficult to hear.

Good luck!

A few tips on getting in and out of Cruzan: 1. They do allow tailgating. 2. If you're coming to the fairgrounds from I-95, there is one road in and out that bottlenecks. It can take a long time. It might be better to approach the fairgrounds from the turnpike, which it is closer to. 3. Getting out o...

Glad he's playing at Cruzan. Much prefer it as a venue to the BB&T Center in Fort Lauderdale.

Exciting News!

A week ago Mishka said that he would be announcing east coast April tour dates soon. Today, Buffett announced two April Florida dates. I predict that Mishka will either open for Jimmy, which I would love, or Mishka will be playing small shows in the areas where Jimmy is playing, which is what they d...

Looking forward to the West Palm show. Wonder if Mishka will also be in the area at that time.

In college I took a sociology course, and a visiting professor gave a lecture on the McDonaldization of American culture. I keep thinking about the McDonaldization of Margaritaville. When Jimmy started out, he said that he would have been happy if he could find a bar to play in. The music back then ...
