I really enjoyed his works and those of his father, N.C. Wyeth.

Sail on Andrew!

Re: Tickets

The way to get tickets before everyone else or to get really good seats is to be related to someone in the band or management team or the promoter or the venue or a tour sponsor. Otherwise it's a crap shoot and that means sometimes you win big and sometimes you don't.

Re: How Much Have You Contributed?

If we go with just the Cafe's and Shrimpboat records, less than $5k. If you include concerts, 8 tracks, LPs, CD, VHS, DVDs, shirts, furniture and a host of other items, I shudder to think how much money I've spent over the last 32 years. I have no regrets in terms of what I've spent and what I've ex...

Re: Good Places To Stay In Vegas?

Personally, I love the MGM and the Mandalay Bay, especially the Hotel at Mandalay Bay. The Four Seasons is also very nice but it is pricey and given your age, probably not your speed. I would avoid the Tropicana, Hooters, Excalibur, the Stratosphere, the Imperial Palace, Circus Circus, the Rivera, B...

Re: DIRECTV Users need to request Radio Margaritaville Now!

I sent mine in just now. I pointed out that with the potential loss of a lot of other channels due to Time Warner and Bright Stars (USA, SPIKE, MTV, VH1, TVLAND, and a bunch of others) demands, it might be a good idea to add something to keep long, long time subscribers around. I can't complain abou...

I would suggest contacting a travel agency that has a group department and work out what your requirements are and see what they can come up with for you. If you want to stay at the Waldorf or the Marriott Marquis or the New York Palace or similar be prepared to pay for it. If you will accept things...

He pocketed said bookmark and brought it to me, the much larger PH. Isn't that crazy? We are native to Ohio, though been here in Texas forever, it seems (1989), and he comes across this ticket in a book in an old bookstore down here. Wild, huh?

What's even scarier is when your own daughter says she understands what it feels like to want to die--because that is how she felt when she was in so much GI pain every day (because of gluten) and getting sicker and sicker. :-? :-? Thankfully we've been able to remedy that problem, but it is scary ...
