So what are the odds that the Alpine concert will have great weather. Anyone remeber two concerts ago.. 45 degrees, windy and raining????

If its anything like the "Summer" weather we have had here in Wisconsin so far....were in trouble! I believe we have not even broke the 80degree mark yet......usually by this time we have had a couple of warmer days....but so far nothing.

please join me in praying to the tiki gods for warm sunny weather.

2 years ago...... bad!
last year........... good!

2000 HOT HOT HOT (July 27)
2001 Artic Blast (June 2)
2002 HOT HOT HOT (August 28)
2003 ??????? HOT HOT HOT (June 28)

Two years ago did s***- We wore sweatshirts and rain coats- it was so cold- this year will be warm- it just has to!!!!! We're gonna have so much fun! Pray to the Tiki Gods every night!!!!!!!

Buffett rocked that night! I remember thinking how awesome the show would have been had the weather been warmer! We had fun as always, though! Hell, Buffett in a blizzard in January would be fun! ( I.M.O.)

Count Down To Alpine...19 Days!
On, Wisconsin!

I've only lived in the frozen tundra for five years, but I can tell you that I know that the last weekend in June has historically been a warm one. I do remember a couple years ago on the last Sat. in June I was on my way to Summerfest and the sky broke loose and it POURED -- but only for an hour or so -- then the rest of the night was filled with great music and cold beer. And in the summer of '96 I was at Alpine the last weekend of June for the Furthur Festival and it was hotter than H**L. So I'm gonna think good vibes and say it'll be nice -- I know you all will agree with me when I say ANYTHING would be better than the weather for the 2001 show!
19 more days! WOO HOO! Party on!

We are suppose to warm up by this weekend so we can only keep our fingers crossed!

If I remeber right, it was so cold in 2001 that Buffett ended up canceling one or two shows after Apline because he was sick......

Well I sure hope you all have good weather at Alpine this year. I was there 2 years ago & it was miserably cold. Fortinatley we had a little sipping whiskey before the show which made us a little bit warmer. The amazing thing was, the weather didn't stop anyone from having a great time. You still saw the grass skirts, cocnut bras (w/ some warmer clothes under). It didn't lower the spirits of anyone there. My boyfriend, who was a virgin to the JB concert scene was thoroughly impressed. I haven't been back to Alpine since, we saw him in Vegas last year so of course the weather was nice. Won't be seeing you there this year either I will be in Nashville that weekend. Have a Corona for me.........

Ahhhhh the memories of freezing my a** of......being wet and cold.....then sneaking my camera in and having a security puke take it from me......some girl taking a whole new beer from me(I did get to see her hoo hoos for it)........However...I still had a great time.

2001 was my 1st JB concert, and I had a blast despite the 40 degree sleet and drizzle. Imagine my amazement as a virgin, how much skin (bright pink skin) I saw by the fruitcakes wearing grass skirts and coconut bras! I felt pure admiration for their devotion, and felt a bit guilty wearing a hawaiin shirt over a turtleneck and thick sweatshirt, eventually giving in to the hooded parka. But once Jimmy started playing, I warmed up from the inside out.

Lucky tiki, lucky tiki, shine some sun on me!

I still wore my bikini top...with two jackets over it!

I've been playing my Floriday's CD and praying a lot for weather like we had today!!! 80 degrees and sunny!

Two years ago when it rained and rained and rained, we brought 550 water balloons to our tailgate and nobody was impressed!
