The most I've done in one year is two shows. Shortage of fun tickets

'Course, in my entire life, I've only seen 19 shows. I'm a late bloomer.

I did 4 shows each in back to back to years (would have been 6 in the last one, but we know what happened). I have 1 this year...but dependent on this long awaited tour schedule, it could be a record breaking year!

The most I've done is 2 in a year.........

I'm workin' on the numbers.......Startin' off the year positively with my first show in San Jose!

NYCPORT wrote:A couple of years a go when we started all this madness (Buffettnews) I think I made it to 6 or 7. Ft. Liquordale, Camden, Jones Beach, Vegas, and of course the two Great Woods shows. There is one other show I just can't remember. Further proof I was at all those shows!

Dude,

That year I think you had 7 cuz I had 8 and we went to all the shows together except Atlanta.

1. Ft. Liquordale
2. Vegas 1
3. Vegas 2
4. Camden
5. Atlanta
6. Jones Beach
7. Great Woods 1
8. Great Woods 2

I just mapquested it and the mileage works out to be approximately 10,649 miles.

It's kind of funny... I actually remember feeling a lil' "buffetted out" towards the end of that summer.
Not anymore though... How bout some frigin' tour dates already!!!

3 in one year is the most for me....with a grand total of 16 dating back to 1988.

SchoolGirlHeart · Post by **SchoolGirlHeart** » February 10, 2004 6:33 pm

Wow... I added it up....

12 shows.... 24,500 miles, give or take ten or twenty miles.....

I flew to Tampa on a Saturday knowing I might be recalled to active duty, again, on Monday. But Monday came and went, and I got to head back south for the Miami show. Each time an opportunity came up for a show, the phone rang, bringing the possibility of a trip to Iraq. So every time I had the opportunity for a show, I went.

You never know what tomorrow will bring.... Life is short.... play hard.....

I first saw Jimmy in I think 1975 in Wash DC ( My home town ) I think I've seen him prob 25 times. I have two favorites

1) at the cellar door in georgetown with about 400 people ( 1975 )
and just his guitar and a mike no band Awsome

2) Again in DC when CIL-CIA came out he was the opening act for the eagles who had just released Hotel Califorina.

What a show

WOW..12 shows, 24k+ miles...you missed traveling around the world by 300 or so miles Jen, Impressive.

I have wondered for some time the defintion of a Buffett road trip well now I have something to measure. Be awhile before we hit your mark.

I am thinking 5-7shows next year for starters

Irvine..2x I hope
Vegas
San Dawg
San Jose...maybe

and some advice from the well traveled...what wouold you do???two locations....I hear there is a venue that compares to Irvine, we need to do our own comparison

Boston
Camden
Chicago
Alpine

Hubby and I were scheduled to see Jimmy for the 1st time on 9-13-2001, but some terrorists did not cooperate. When the show was rescheduled, I could not get away from the mental hospital ( my job, not as a patient). So we had to console ourselves with a trip to Cincinnati the next summer, such a great experience, we had to go to 4 shows last year ;
Nashville in April
Alpine Valley in June
Chicago and Cincinnati in August.

Currently undergoing concert withdrawal and needing to plan a record-breaking year.

My first Buffett show was Great Woods, September 1, 2001. My second show was supposed to be 9/13/01, and I was supposed to fly to Chicago on 9/12/03. On 9/11, the requirements of my job kept me from contacting my family for several hours. My oldest son got the days confused, and thought I had flown out of Boston that morning; he spent the day thinking I was on one of the planes......

Oh, how terrible!

I can only imagine how relieved he must have been in the end.

If I remember correctly, though, none of the planes that were hijacked were going to Chicago; weren't they all going out west?

Yes, that's correct. But he was only 13, and couldn't remember where I was flying to, only that he thought I was flying that morning.

Poor kid came home from school alone and checked my itinerary on the computer. If the news had been different.... *shudder*

On my way to Anaheim two weeks ago, I flew American and took the same flight as the one that was hijacked. They've changed the flight number, but it was the early nonstop from BOS to LAX; same gates, same airframe, about the same departure time and route. I have to admit, it was a little creepy, and certainly sobering...

Last year was my personal best: Atlanta (February and April), Nashville, and Vegas. Total miles: 2314

It was the first year that I'd gone anywhere besides Atlanta to see Jimmy and I hope to travel to at least one different place every year from now on.
