Here's a phrase you are unlikely to see again - FREE LAWYERS. I know there are several BN lawyers. I, for one, will volunteer my time.

I met Hunter S. in 1990 in Santa Fe New Mexico. I was attending a convention put on by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He gave a speech because the NACDL had helped him out of a drug conviciton. I have to say it was very difficult to listen to him. The president grabbed him and...

I went home last night, went to the mail box, and started going through the mail (bill, bill, another bill). Then I opened the package from Terri. It made my day. Thanks Terri - the lanyards look great. I appreciate your hard work.

Thank you Lono for the payment. I will get your lanyards in the mail. And thanks for letting me know when the lanyards arrive, it is good to know everyone has them. 8) Don't thank me. I need to thank you for the Aloha spirit. I hope to meet you some day at a JB concert. The first, second, third and...

A truly sad day for Lono. I think I shall go home, open a bottle of wine, and re-read The Curse of Lono - my favorite Hunter book. RIP Hunter S. Thompson. You brought joy to millions, especially me.

I keep hearing about another Alan, George, Jimmy concert in Houston. That is the only conceivable reason he would be skipping a solo show in Texas again this year. Alan Jackson is playing the Houston Rodeo on March 2, 2005. George Strait is not playing this year. My guess would be that the concert w...

Oh' what the hell. I needed an excuse to drain my Continental frequent flyer account to zero. This should do it.

:o Where is The Shell???? Is it in Honolulu??? :o :o I am going to be in Honolulu from April 11th thru the 19th with my mom - who claims to be the original Jimmy Buffett fan!!! I grew up listening to him because of mom and dad, and I would LOVE to be able to go to a JB concert with her - in Hawaii ...

Any speculation on whether he will play Maui? Last year the Oahu tickets went on sale and I booked the trip. Then he announced the Maui concert. I would rather see him in Maui.

Have any of you used a VIP service to get you into clubs? I notice that ICE has a ticket service with different packages. I have also seen some companies that get you into clubs for a fee. Last time I was in Vegas for Buffett, a friend of mine got me into the Ghost Bar. It was great. I just walked ...

Combine a love of all things Hawaii and a love of the novels of Hunter S. Thompson and you get - LONO. If you liked Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, you will love The Curse of Lono. Great Book, Great Hawaiin god. By the way, if anyone has a hardback version of the book for sale, I will pay good money...

As I think they tell you in a lot of twelve step programs - "you are not alone." Perhaps that Dan Brown guy who wrote the DaVinchi Code can write a novel about Ticketmaster. Know this - there is nothing you could have done and there are no answers. I bought on-line tickets to the Vegas sho...

listen to some past mistakes... Take the print out tix option if its there.. Do not do ticketfast (TM emails you a file and you print them on your home printer) unless you are absolutely certain you are going to make the show. NO ONE will buy these if you can't make it because there is no way for p...

As I understand your question, you want to know if it is a good idea to take your kids to a Vegas Buffett show, as opposed to wanting to know if it is a good idea to take your kids to Vegas in general. If that's the question, I would say that the shows are a little more rowdy than most, but I think ...

The Houston Chronicle has a columnist named Ken Hoffman who is a parrothead. He prints letters and replies in the Zest section of the Sunday paper. The following appeared last Sunday: F.Y.I.-we hear via our grapevine that Jimmy Buffett, Alan Jackson and George Strait will do a joint concert at Relia...

I remember being in college when the Talking Heads movie "Stop making Sense" came out. Some of the theaters actually ran adds in the paper announcing that they would allow dancing in the theater. I doubt that will happen, but I see some very loud sing-a-long action going on.

I went over Thanksgiving in Houston and over half of the tickets had been sold. On some level, I worry that this is some kind of trial run. If Jimmy slows down, I can see him doing very few concerts, but having them simulcast across the country. I did the math, and he will have ticket sales of over ...

I purchased my tickets to the December 8, 2004 simulcast concert ($30 for two tickets). Although I am excited to have a Buffett related event to attend, I can't help but wonder if this is a sign of things to come. If you do the math, Jimmy can make over $200,000 in tickets sales in theaters across t...

I purchased my tickets for the December 8, 2004 simulcast concert. Although I am excited about an event in December, I can't help but wonder if this is some kind of trial run. If you do the math (53 theaters at $15 a ticket) it equals nearly $250,000. Jimmy has always been one hell of a businessman....
