A private show with Jimmy

I'm sitting here looking at my Powerball lotto ticket, wondering what I would do with the $131,000,000 if I win it, and throwing a private concert with Jimmy came up first. I was thinking maybe Charter One Pavilion at Northerly Island in Chicago. I know I've got better odds sleeping with Angelina Jo...

I think it's a cool idea. They do it at Wrigley Field before and during the games, too.

Check out Castaways on Lake Michigan if you have time...it's an open-air, 2nd story bar with palm trees, bands and an awesome view of the city and the lake. They're open on Friday night, too.
There are a bunch of volleyball courts surrounding the bar as well.
Enjoy the show and our city!

Re: Skydiving the Keys

I hate waking up to songs because after a while I start to hate them because they signal a bad, bad time of the day. (waking up, of course) In other words, I'd never use Jimmy as a ringtone or an alarm in the morning because it just gives me a bad feeling! It sounds like waking up to Jimmy is the t...

Waking up to Jimmy Buffett

I'm sure there's a lot of you out there that have your CD alarm clock waking you up with Buffett tunes every morning.

What's your favorite CD or song to wake up to?

Thanks all for the tips.... I got back last week and had fun...but didn't make to Idaho Springs or anywhere too far away. I've been going to Colorado since I was kid, but it's been about 5 years since the last visit. I love Breck- I was hoping to find a tropical style bar in the mountains. I found a...

Alpine, '04. Got in a big fight with my wife in the parking lot so I went into the show by myself. I just kind of hung out by the decks the whole time. There's no way I'm missing the show that I wait for year-round, just for a fight. She was p*ssed, and to this day I can't remember what the fight wa...

I heard that Jimmy Buffett has a bar there called Margaritaville. Just kidding....check out the Garden of Eden- it's an open-air, clothing-optional bar on the third floor of a bar called The Bull on Duval St. I've been there a few times and have never taken off my clothes- not everyone does it and s...

Summit County, CO

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone know if there are any places in the Summit County area that I should check out? I'm going on a ski trip at Copper, but I just had shoulder surgery and won't be skiing- I'll have plenty of time to kill during the day while everyone else is on the slopes. I'...

Buffett mention on CBS in Chicago (Randy Salerno)

This is a little late, but it's the first time I could get to a computer since last weekend: A CBS news anchor, Randy Salerno was killed in a snowmobile accident in WI over the weekend. During the memorial video montage, it talked about Randy being a huge Buffett fan and had a clip of him talking to...

It's been awhile since I've posted, but this one got to me....a typical parrothead is an oxymoron, true. But as we are all unique in our own ways, how would you describe the typical Usher fan, the typical Mana fan, etc....? Jimmy's music appeals to all sorts of people, as does rock, jazz, r&b, e...

This was my 8th show at Tinley and it just seemed that they sold a whole lot more tickets this year...it's always crowded, it always takes a while to go to the bathroom and get a beer, but Saturday seemed more insane than usual.
