Thanks for the help everyone! Keep 'em coming!


I didn't even realize there was a recipe section here....I need to stop by more often!

Hey, everyone! We're having a party in a couple of weeks, and it will have the Parrothead theme. I'm looking for some recipes for food. I've got a few things I've done before, and some new ideas. I figure y'all will be the best source for ideas, however. If anyone has any recipes (don't worry about ...

I would have gladly paid the $500 for the tix. But I just started my new job on Monday, and couldn't possibly have gotten out of work.

Here's the link to the review in the Milwaukee paper this AM... http://www.jsonline.com/onwisconsin/music/jan04/200015.asp I love the quote about the year at Alpine when it was 40 degrees. Jimmy remembers that show well as he was sick in bed the entire following week and had to cancel the Indy show...

I've always defined OPH not necessarily as a place, but more of a state of mind. When you are down, feeling low, what do you do, or where do you go? That one thing or place that you know will make you happy. It can be getting lost in your favorite book, or favorite movie. It could be an old friend w...

Hey I wish he would come back too! That would make it only a couple hour drive to see Jimmy every year instead of 7 or 8. I know the last time he played was in 2000 during the Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays tour. Don't know how many times all together though that he has played there I phlocked down...

Remember, in the "Good ol' Days" the B-Side wasn't always the same artist as the A-Side.

Question....how many of the people who answered have been to BOTH Alpine and GW? I have.

Sorry....I'll say it forever....Great Woods is the SECOND BEST place I've seen a Buffett show (I've been to 9 venues so far). Nothing beats a Saturday at Alpine.

Agreed....I've taken friends inside before that nearly ruined the concert for me. The problem is even taking someone along that has no other reason for going than to get drunk. I'd try to find someone else for their ticket, and un-invite the friend.

SE Wisconsin here, but not afraid to travel to a Buffett outing! And I used to live in Lake Geneva!

We bulit one this year. The top of it was made to look like a surfboard, the base looked like old wooden crates, but the crates were fully functional cabinets with doors and all. We had the blenders up top, all the supplies down below!!!! If you want to see pictures, try PM'ing Keetmommy. She probab...

I can't list any. Problem is, songs I used to not like have grown on me, and old fave's have worn. It depends on my mood, really.

And his music is also in... 1. Arachnophobia (1990) (song "Don't Bug Me") 2. Summer Rental (1985) (song "Turning Around") 3. Slugger's Wife, The (1985) (song "Ragtop Day") 4. Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) (song "I Don't Know (Spicoli's Theme)") 5. Coast ...

And he's in "Hook" and "Repo Man", too.

Don't forget "Cobb". Jimmy is in that, too...

I got the orange one, too, but it was only my second choice. The blue one was sold out.

Never been to Alpine Valley, but I will put Great Woods up against any parking lot party. Been to 23 shows and nothing compares to GW's. I've been to a lot of Alpine shows, and a lot of others, including GW. I have said before that GW is 2nd to Alpine (although I've heard Irvine is awesome....maybe...

The way I look at it is this: By my count, last night at Alpine he did 31 songs. 11 of them were the songs he "has to play every year". That leaves 20 more for variety and for the hard-core fans. I think that does a nice job of catering to everyone. (The 11 I count are: Fins, Margaritavill...

And he played "Its my job". That's been a long time...1996 I think?

Here is a question........Why doesn't Jimmy play Summerfest in Milwaukee anymore? He outgrew it....Alpine holds 15,000 more people. As for last night, I was down in the 7th row. Great show, the crowd was just smokin, and the band was full of energy. And of course the parking lot is one of the best....
