I have less patience than the rest of you so my thanks will me short--

I must say the Saturday was one of the best days of my life!!
Not only did I get to be on the Jumbo screen, sit in the front row, and get Jimmy's autograph but I got to meet a whole bunch of great new friends.
You guys are the best!

Jolena - party on girl! I will never repeate what happened on the bus!

CRC - thanks for the hat! You with with us up front in spirit! Let me know when you want it back

Les & Megan - Love you guys - and thanks for the Captain (although I didn't need it!) We must keep in touch!

Matt & Conched - great meeting you - you guys are sooo sweet.

As for everyone else I forgot - I LOVE YA!!!!!

I'm getting tearry eyed now

Can wait to see you all next year!!!

(Megan here)with a quick thanks to so many nice people for making this trip incredible! Too much fun to be legal really! We are back in Tampa and it is hot and sticky so wait until Feb - after the 12th blizzard and get your buts down here to visit! Show these Tampa people how it's done!!!! I really hope Les and I can make WI an annual trip!! Keep in touch and don't be strangers! Les is already back to work at the hospital (he's probably on BN right now though so while I am at it - I should thank this man bc he gave up seeing Jimmy in FL so he could meet my parents and suggested we go to WI again. LOVE HIM!!!!!!! Love all the pics and Jolena... CRC..... Linda..... all you fun, fantastic partiers..... and you know who you are

Hello everyone up north!

Megan and I finally made it home in one piece. We had an awesome time with the gang from BN! We knew you could party..but we had no idea! I couldn't believe how well the pre-concert bash and the bus trip went. I ate and drank all weekend long and only had to make one beer run! ( Note to self: Make beer run before 9pm next time!)

The Whaleshark and Tatiana were great!

The bus trip was the best..I think I'm going to keep some WOP in the fridge at all times from now on...

I can't believe we saw Tiki Bar on the screen....that was soooo cool!

And lastly...I have pictures, lots of pictures! FUN-I got the discs from 7Lords and will make copies of the pics and the concert-I recorded RadioMargaritaville and got the whole concert! PM me and I'll get a copy out to you-I'll just need an address.

Thanks again for a great time! Megan and I would love to see any of you down in Florida...with our brand new amphitheater here in Tampa, we're hoping next years show will be a blast outdoors!

Les and Megan

Hey Everyone,

It is me Jkortums sisterin-law, Johns wife, Kay. I only posted once before the concert but wanted to left everyone know what a great time we had. What a crazy group.
Thanks to Rob for hosting the party, you did a great job. Sorry about trying to steal your date on the bus. I thought John would get a kick out of me kissing Pam. I'm sure you know all about those male fantasys of a threesome????????? I'm just a tease.....bad girl

Jolena and CRC you two rock. You made the party. I laughed so hard when you first met John at the desk in the hotel...What a greeting he had......

Landshark, enjoyed taking to you and meeting Elizabeth. Real Nice girl. I hope we didn't scare her off........

Wade thanks for making all the name tags and all of your other efforts. I was bummed I didn't get to meet your beautiful wife. The kids were great...

Les and Megan.......Party on....You added a some spice to this adventure. Megan Great job on the singing. Les can't wait to see your pictures.

Dave, really enoyed talking to you. You are a hell of a nice guy. The pictures were great. We really appreciate it, seeing we managed to lose our camera. Or atleast it hasn't showed up yet.

It was another great year at Alpine hope to see all of you back next year.

Now you've done it - you'll need to setup for about 50 houseguests, from December thru March - have you SEEN Wisconsin in the winter??? BRRRRRR!!!

But it's this kind of friendlyness that makes BN - and alpine - so damn fun. Thanks for a great Saturday, all!

I've been to Mad-town in the middle of one of your milder winters....nearly froze my %*$s off!

We'd be more than happy to show anyone of you some southern hospitality... Any visitor to Florida during the winter that's younger than 80 and drives more than 35MPH is always welcome!

hey everyone,this is jkortums brother John. Had a great time at alpine . All you people really know how to party. Can't remember when I had so much fun, before, during, and after a Jimmy concert.
I meet a lot of real nice people, and I hope some new friends. Unfortunately it all went by way to fast. First you meeting new people, having a good time then your driving home, and everything is just a memory. I didn't get to say good by to anyone

So next year we need to get together after, the concert or on sunday and say our good'byes .
I miss all you people, can't wait till next year

Hey John....that is an excellent idea!!!! Definitely life-long friends.....it always seems to be that way around here with the ones you get to spend more time with...... You guys were all great!!! I didn't get to say good-bye to many of you either!!! However, it is never good-bye...until we meet again!!

Get it right...
"I forgot. Sometimes I forget. You ever forget? Happened to me."

Only thing I lost was my sunglasses. And they only cost $9.99 at Target.

I have your sunglasses sweetie - you didn't lose them you gave them to me because the were hurting your head on the trip back and I forgot to give them back
