Buffett News Celebrates 5 Years on the Net

Post by phjim »

It has been over five years since I started BuffettNews.com and the site that started it all, The Feeding Frenzy Page. Take a look back at some of the orginal front pages of Buffett News: Jan 1999, April 1999, November 1999, March 2001. Take a look at what Margaritaville.com looked like 5 years ago.

WoW! Has it been that long! The first time I remember coming here was 1999 looking for set lists. I had been a almost daily visitor of parrotrepublic.com (back then it was parrotisland.com) but they were not updating the page enough to warrent daily visits so I went out searching for a new Buffett site and you all have been sorry since :evil:

Gees these were the days http://web.archive.org/web/199712240958 ... ville.com/ a full Summer tour.

Just looking at the schedule on the archived site, and how cool to see P.M. played on Feb.20th! I was on vacation in Key West at that exact time, and we wound up seeing P.M. that evening! Seeing that on the schedule really took me back!! Fins up!
