okay, kids, we go through this every year.
you can drink in the parking lot (and darn near do anything else),
you just have to behave.

My wife and I have gone to Lambeau field 6 times to see the Packers and #4.
(And we in live in Virginia)
Fortunately we took our 11 year old son this year.
he will always be able to say he saw Brett Favre at Lambeau Field. Good times.

I don't get the whole tattoo thing.

True story, sometime around 1984 (we can finally blame our memory loss on the years gone by, and not the booze) I was in an elevator in the Columbia Inn in Md, and the elevator stopped between floors. Much to my suprise, Jimmy walked in. it was just me, Jimmy and a buddy for 6 floors. It was great. ...

I was actually at the December 10th show. It was 1989.
Ed Bradley came by with about 10 pizzas which Jimmy promptly fed to the audience. It was a great time.

It was July of '80. That was my first Buffett concert.

There is a good article on a devoted Parrot-head in today's Washington Post Sunday Magazine.
don't have the link right now, but I can get it.

Any concert in particular?

I have a concert poster from Jimmy playing JMU (my sister went there) from about '83 or '84. Don't have the set list though.

The first time I saw him (July of '80), Livingston Taylor opened for him. I have also seen the Neville Brothers open for him.

This week at Nissan will be 26 out of the last 28 years that I have seen Jimmy Buffett at least once in a year in concert.
I missed 1993 and 1996, but other than that, I have seen him every year since 1980.
I am getting old.

Oh, yeah, as far as albums go, I love "You had to be there" as a time capsule, but Coconut Telegraph was the first one that came out after I saw Jimmy for the first time, and that album really confirmed his work for me.

Diverg, how do you have 569 posts on this site and know nothing about Jimmy Buffett's music? just curious.

My wife and I were in the Dixie Grill outside of Pearl Harbor 2 nights ago. She asked for a Corona and they told her they didn't have it but they had Land Shark Lager. Of course she ordered it. How it got out here, I'll never know, but I had my first sip of Land Shark at Pearl Harbor. Pretty cool. O...

Don't worry about ol' Rupert, he has done okay with Broadway musicals.

Jimmy was mentioned in Don Ho's obit in the New York Times yesterday.

Come Monday, by far. That is the one song I play when I have to quell the doubters about Jimmy Buffett's music. It always works.

As Bob Knight would say "Stop beating the horse, it's dead."

Did you ever notice it's the people who can't afford tickets who b**** about the musicianship of certain artists. We go through this evey year, people. If you don't want to spend the money for tickets, don't. Just let us do it if we want to. You can not put a price tag on a good time. Stop your comp...

I've got mine, Charleston, S.C. year round. That is where we will end up.
Also, Green Bay, Wisconsin at Lambeau field when the Packers play their last home game. That place is about as fun as any I have ever been.
