I just hit #38 in Tampa and that has taken since 1994 or 13 years. Good gosh!!! 62 more to make 100. Nope, don't think it will happen, but maybe we can realistically shoot for 50.Snowparrot wrote:Well, there's just under 4 decades before JB and I hit 100.
That would mean he and I need to perform (him) and attend (me) 25 concerts a decade, or 2.5 concerts a year.... guess we could for our 60s, maybe our 70s.... after that we'll have to taper off a bit ... maybe
3 a year would take 21 years and I'd be 80 years old. Do ya think we could hope for that many more!?
Hey, I'd take 3 a year for the next 4 years to get my 12 more for a total of 50 and then anymore after that would be spectacular!!

Too bad you weren't sitting near me on Saturday. Jimmy through his flip flop to a chick with a sign that read, "36th show." Did you hear him say, "That's what you get when you go to 36 shows...the flip flop!"

The last 2 years I have done Vegas and Chicago.
I will say if he does a midwest week like he did in '07 I will pass on Vegas and make a week of Jimmy shows with nothing more than a 5 hour drive betwen them.
That week long swing will probably cost less than a Vegas weekend for Jimmy oddly enough.

The Parrot Dice Lounge kinda like a mirage. Here today and gone tomorrow. You should stop by and say hello when visiting Chicago on tour.

This year, 7. Down from the past. College tuition is killing my fun tickets!
But I also saw:
4 Mac McAnally shows
3 Jake Shimabukuro shows
2 Peter Mayer shows
1 "Uncle Jim" Mayer show
Not a bad year.... not bad at all.

I only saw Mac once and I haven't seen any of the other Reefers but other than Buffett I did see:
Jerry Jeff Walker
Asleep At The Wheel (twice)
The Allman Brothers
Slaid Cleaves/Guy Clark
Mary McBride/Koko Taylor
Last Of The Breed Tour (Ray Price, Merle Haggard & Willie Nelson)
Norah Jones (one of the best shows I saw this year)
Rodney Atkins/Little Big Town/Martina McBride
The Flatlanders (twice)
Big State Festival (lots of people)
Experience Hendrix (a bunch of guitarists doing Hendrix music)
Bruce Springsteen
The Police
Sonny Landreth
I might be missing some, I'm old and don't have a very good memory anymore.

We only did two this year (good thing we took the "And will you take her to at least three Buffett shows per year, so long as Jimmy shall tour" out of the wedding vows!), would have done 3 except my little sis was here from Japan and that was the weekend she was at our parents' house. I've been averaging probably 3, but did 7 or 8 in 2003, I think. My total's higher than my age, so it's all good!
