2012 Tour

Post by ScarletB »

Well, before the endless speculation starts now that the 2011 tour is over (except for "dot dot dot") :wink: - our club was told to expect to submit ticket needs in March so I'm going to make a leap and assume that means that IT AIN'T OVER YET!!!! :D :D

If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

I think he said last night that the Fin Land tour of 2011 was over. It still could be the Fin Land tour of 2012. It has happened before.

That is the best thing I have seen all week. Ironically, I was with family yesterday and we were talking about getting together for some other reason than a funeral. And I am thinking "don't plan it around mid June."

C'mon guys. Isn't it a little early to be starting all the speculation? I mean, aren't we tired of this by now? Frankly, I don't even think I'm going to bother with concerts next tour. I'm ready to retire.

If you believe that, I also have some ocean front property in Arizona.

I know you'll get the irony here but I didn't look at the name and just read the post and thought it was from DP. :roll:

One of the reasons I stopped doing summer community theatre is because the shows and rehearsals start in May and run through Sept depending on the show - there's no way I'm missing a potential road trip OR GW because I'm in a show.

Usually if he does shows in February (like Columbia, SC and the 3 FL shows 2 years ago), it's the end of the previous year's tour. He could be setting up a February, 2012 run.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here

Yah, that's what I'm thinking and Australia was still Big Top - lets hope he stays ON the stage this year!

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but I was at the PHC Leadership Meeting where this was discussed. The word didn't come from PHIP, it came from the regional Ticket Rep, who organizes Club tickets for all the Region's clubs. She merely told everyone to be ready, as she would expect if there was a tour, that dates would come out in late Feb/ early March as they usually do and once they are out we normally have about a week to finalize our numbers.....so it was a reminder to work on it in advance and have an idea of how many might want tickets beforehand in case there is a tour.
She also reminded us that clubs are eligible to tickets for the show closest to your Club's region of operations, and one show per tour....so even if he does a couple of shows after the first of the year, it may still be part of this year's tour (as the Australia dates were part of 2010's tour - Tampa was the first of 2011) and none of us would be eligible to get tix for those shows.

Unfortunately the notes they sent out didn't make that clear - it was just a line item. I didn't really expect anyone to take it as gospel anyway, just thought it was fun to think about.

Jimmy WILL tour next year. (According to him).

There's a reason he wrote "RETIRING AIN'T THE PLAN" into the revised Off To See the Lizard lyrics.
There's a reason why he always says "NOT YET" during his preformance of O.P.H.
And there's a reason why he said last night, and at almost all of his other shows this year, words to the effect of "See you next year," "See you next time," and, as recently as last night in Las Vegas, "As long as you keep showing up, and as long as I can do it, I'll keep coming back."

So who wants to be in charge of the tailgating at Alpine, Chicago, Tampa, Frisco, and Honolulu?

Maybe he's going to do all west coast dates this year....Garry , hasn't he said the see you next year at every venue and show , and not return. I do believe he will tour next year , i'd like to do Chicago again. Maybe somewhere new , that i've never been to. It all comes down to when he announces the schedule, and what i can plan on without guessing.

I'm wondering if he would do Fenway again...it will be the 100 year anniversary.

A west coast concert would be nice. (Farther west than Las Vegas, anyway-as much fun as I have there). San Diego would bring back LOTS of memories from my Navy days. San Francisco too.
Chicago, Alpine, & Honolulu are my "no brainer" places I'll go to. Anywhere else I only go if I can.
I would've loved to have gone to one of the North Carolina shows this year, but he didn't announce them until right after I bought my Tampa ticket and very close to the Tampa date. Would've had to use almost an extra week of vacation time.

I try to keep the calander open for places like Frisco and Tampa, but, like with everything, it all comes down to the timing.

FENWAY? Yeah, I'd love to go there.
I'm not sure how welcome I'd be, but given how I've survived the merchant sailor bars of Yokohama, the streets of Surabaja, and the Mekong River, I think I'd be okay at Fenway Park. :lol:

Knowing there was a Tampa date in April would make winter a little easier to get thru :wink:
