Who here remembers, from back in the "days of vinyl",
that Jimmy included an insert into the album HOT WATER (I think it was Hot Water),
that was an entry form that could be mailed back to Key West HQ for a chance to win "a private island beach concert from Jimmy Buffett"?
If it is along those lines, perhaps a private Windstar Cruise type of contest.
Perhaps with Jimmy at the helm?
The contest insert may have been in the album "Last Mango In Paris". Who knows?
The vinyl decades are a bit of a blur to me now.
I just realized what my problem with this whole thing is. They (i.e. the people at M'Ville who are putting all of this out) are really taping into my die-hard feelings, and I think they are doing it on purpose. The hints are using music that I think only a real parrothead (as opposed to a party-head) would recognize and the old videos are only something that die-hard people like us are even going to care about. Heck the slogan says it all. There is no doubt in my mind that the advertising behind this is geared towards people who own every album.
If this ends up being just another business venture to capitalize on the mass of people who go to concerts to hear the yellow album I shall be disappointed. And this is coming from someone who has no problems with the M'Ville empire. I believe JB is entitled to make as much money as possible. Heck, put a M'ville Café on every street corner. It won't bother me.
Just don't advertise as something really for me if you know good what you are promoting is for a bunch tourists who visit Margaritaville every once "trying to clam lost years into five or six days."

That kind of sums up my feelings about it. I'm curious but hardly waiting with baited breath because I'm thinking it's going to either be something completely lame or something that most of us will be unable to actually DO.

That would be spectacular though! Think we all wait & wait for them to come little by little. I'll take the tour announcement over a cruise or clothing merch line, any day!

If it were possible to care less than not at all, that's how little I would care about a cruise. No matter who was going to be on it. Unless I was in the middle of a Jessica Alba/Jennifer Lawrence sandwich.
