Adding band members

I was thinking to myself some time ago. How neat it would be if Jimmy and the reefers hit the stage like the Talking Heads did in Stop Making Sense. Where they slowly added musicians with each song. And here is exactly that with this Buffett tour. Which is great, I always liked that concept. I just ...

what to do...

Perhaps a hotel at a point between the field and tweeter. I would use Sir Gumby's directions, only in reverse from Downtown to Tweeter. So after the game you head to the hotel which is then part way to the theater. Only reason I suggest it is that the hotels near the theater may already be booked up...

Set lists so far....

Is it just me, or is it awkward hearing Changes in Latittude up front in the shows?

Boozin' it up

By contrast, a former lady friend our mine and my friends, at Tweeter Chicago last year, fell, tackled another woman on the hill, and fairly se...

Sounds like it'll be fine

Thanks to Brian for coming in here and speaking up, these "new" rules do not sound as though they are anything we need to be upset about. I remember a huge stage set-up once a few years back, and some giant pool. And I've seen numerous people clowning around on the roof of a camper. So it ...

More about the rules

First thanks Brian for responding to these inquiries. Most of the rules make perfect sense. I can certainly understand for safety and lawsuit reasons for rules such as do not party on the roof of the RV. I understand a fee for cleanup in the large vehicle area, although I think $50 is a bit steep. A...
