Re: some thoughts to "solve" the parking lot issues

Re: Who's Going to the 20th Annual MOTM 2011 Nov. 3-6?

Regarding car rentals: Wait to reserve until you're a week or two out. Rental prices generally seem to come down. I just did this at FLL, when I went to the Keys a few weeks ago. My plans changed by a day, so I went in the week before my trip to change my reservation, and the per-day rate had gone *...

Keeping fingers crossed that things work out for you. So...

Of course he *might* do like he's done in the past, and do a Fillmore date. Last time, I think we got maybe a few week's notice on that.

Re: What to do with Margaritaville (the song)

As a Trop Rocker...I have to take somewhat of a middle ground on this. I know that a lot of folks feel the song is a bit overexposed. Heck, *I* get tired of listening to it. In my own shows, I go with what I think will work for the audience. So if I'm playing for a bunch of Trop Rock fans who are th...

Re: "Fifty cents worth, please"....

Only part I hate about the 7.50/10.00 a gallon argument in Europe is that for the most part Europe is mostly smaller commutes and less traffic (since more people take public transportation which is readily available).... In America, the average commute is well over an hour to drive 20 miles (I blam...

Re: "Fifty cents worth, please"....

Personally, I don't see any logical connection between "The US helped bail GM out" and "We need to pay higher gas taxes." Except that both are about automobiles in some way. People in Europe pay close to the equivalent of $10/gallon, with taxes *there*. Our gas taxes are still at...

its just thats Jimmy never sells out here and the parking lot party is hampered by shorelines sometimes enforcement... I would note that an Oakland Colloseam or ATT field concert would solve all of these problems but thats just a pipe dream Tailgating would be nice for a change. The argument that J...

Re: Dolphin Stampede

Looks like Pacific White-Sided Dolphins, rather than Atlantic Bottlenose. Which argues for filming happening somewhere on the West Coast, possibly down around Baja.

I guess these guys in the boat were lucky they didn't end up with a dolphin or two right in their lap!
