This is especially for Captain P

I worked on your poem but you left before I could post.
Well, here's the whole thing...your part, then mine...............

'Twas the night before Alpine
And all through BN
Many creatures were stirring
With anticipation
The coolers were packed full with tequila and beer
In hopes that Bubba soon would be here.

Some Parrotheads were already in bed
Dozens of Jell-o shots hurting their heads.
My wife in her grass skirt, and me in a straw hat
Were really beginning to frighten the cat.

(Captain P)


With Ladyparrothead in Milwaukee
And I in L.A.
I'd just sat down
to watch "Live At The Bay"

I was watching the madness of parrothead cheer
With shots of tequila and Corona beer
When what to my wonder I heard in my ear
but that sound of steel drums
that meant Buffett was near

I turned up RM and sat in my chair
locked doors, unplugged phones
Forgot every care

I turned up the sound till the neighbors could hear
"Let's get drunk and screw!"
Jimmy Buffett is here!

(Parrotheadluver)

Ladyparrothead was showing me pictures of you last night and I can't imagine why you're upset about your height! You are SOOOOOOOoooooooooo beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!! being tall just means there is more beautiful than short people have to offer.

And since Alpine 04 is over, I almost can't believe this thread is still going on...............but I am glad it is. I feel a connection to everyone in this thread.

I'm assuming it is... I'm not sure, it's not my cat. It's a pretty good feline representation of my lifestyle though! :-? :lol:

:oops: Aww! That's sweet. Don't worry though, I'm not really upset about my height. I actually love it. There are certain downfalls, but I wouldn't trade it. :wink:

I'd trade for a smaller ass though!

LS3 --- What can I say after ALL that dude :o ... thanks for runnin with me to grab some grub when Tina and Jolena "forced" me to hurry to the BW & start drinkin Fri. on an empty stomach, also for the "door prize" --- Glad I could draw that line in the sand for you although I dont think I did too good of a job since I had already sailed on through myself :pirate:

By Tina and Ann :D New Mission awaits next month... and although I never did buy you that beer I promised you ... that Corona in your cooler should cover it

Jolena --- What can I say... you took me in early, weeks ago and made sure I made it to Alpine right up to the point when you help me park at the BW "properly" and of course without you I would have never gotten my Coronas open Fri. night :D ... until the Bartender shut me down :evil: and forced me to start hitting the rhum and cokes :pirate: --- Thanks for all the phone calls, talks and being the ONLY girl to stay awake long enough for me to "catch up" on the drinkin wars Fri. night

Dave --- My smokin partner and late night cocktail drinker :pirate: ... Thank You for all the great tales and digitally captured moments that you have allowed all of us to remember "in focus" --- THE MAN behind the camera ... enjoyed the late nights in the bars and halls of the BW, We can honestly say we "outlasted" all the others cause we were always the last to head in for the evening/morning...if it hadn't been for PHKalee we would have never had anyone to talk to :o BUT all I ask from you in the future at concerts is your attendance and it appears we have many more to come... just remember "There's trouble ---- trouble ---- trouble in the Alpine Valley, starts with a T and ends with an A and that my friends spells Trouble" CANT WAIT FOR CHICAGO .... we'll see you in 6 weeks my friend .... lookin for some more Trouble :pirate: :pirate: :pirate:

Matt --- Dude you are a soooo awesome yourself "Sir" <---- whats up with that I'm only 27 ... no wait it's midnight now so I'm 28 ... but it just goes to show that your family has done a wonderful job of raising you to this point!!!!

You told me from the first minute how glad you were that I drove up ... well dude --- meeting people like you makes it ALL worth while, you know how to make a guy feel welcome from the minute he enters the room .... and you have a wonderful energy about you that makes everyone happy who are near :D and your whole group was just the greatest family and friends one could meet (not meat) anywhere ... if you can work it out --- HOPEFULLY we'll see you in 6 wks (remember I was already talkin to you bout Fri night at the BW bout Chicago!!!) If not I'll always have the memory of that smiley face on the big Alpine Screen :D

Jane --- Your one cool a$$ momma ... still think you look different without your palm tree BUT anyway --- thanks for helping me on the Selective Dining that is Janesville (and what a selection it was :roll: ) without you, Sat morn would have been a very ugly situation :o And thanks for the laughs --- hell, you laughin at my dry humor Fri night kept me goin after a VERY LONG drive --- And of Course THANK YOU for allowing me to finish ALL your margaritas in the concert :pirate: and without you and Steve --- NONE OF US would have been drinkin imports on Sat. your bottle opener was our only hope ... and tell Steve --- " YES ... I WAS CONCERNED ... I just didnt want to add to the hysteria"

Les Great to meet another Florida boy :D You did travel the farthest out of our bus group BUT I drove so I still won :lol: I wanna see those photos from the top of the bus dude ... Enjoy your sunshine and as soon as legal matters are settled up here, chances are I'm moving back down your way --- WARN the neighborhood :pirate: :pirate:

Tiki --- I've now hung in the lawn with the Parrotvision Legend, glad I could "direct ya'll" in to the group ... when I saw those bamboos in the air off in the distance and Matt wavin those arms I couldn't help but run down the road to meet ya and I'm certainly glad I did!!!!! :D Your dedication behind the bar DEMANDS respect and it's awesome to say that the one everyone was lookin at was in OUR group!!!!!! :D 8)

Conga player w/the band --- not that he'll ever read this BUT ... Thanks for lettin me lay down some rhythms with ya on the congas during that song Fri. night 8) ----- See what you ladies missed by not staying up long enough to see me "catch up" :(

I MISSED YOU in the lawn :cry: :cry: so next month I'm not letting you out of my sights until my now famous sheet is spread to claim our spot :D :D You pour one hella margarita :pirate: I only desperately wish we had HAD more time together ... and ALL day Sun. when my friend and I were hangin out in the Chi-town all I could think was ... you should've been there with me :D (We would have scared my friend :pirate: :wench: ) So in 6 weeks WE have to catch up on lost time!!!!!!!!!!!!! By then my bruises (seriously) should have healed from your tackle of a greeting :o and I will be ready for more abuse ... oh, and THANKS for rollin round in the green grass behind the stadium with me!!! 8) 8) 8) 8)

Christina --- Bet you didnt know I was already IN weeks ago for Chicago did you!!!!! :o As for the Wet Spot ... you beat me to it :-? (My sig line!!

Next year we'll just have to bring the cuffs and duct tape for the hotel security :-? Oh and to the strangers in the room I was opening my beer bottles on --- Sorry! :oops:

TO EVERYONE: Sorry it took me till the Alpine lot to get "into the groove" due to recovering from my drive ... next year -- I'm flyin and car rentin so I can START and END strong :pirate: :pirate:

To all the others I only met briefly BHC, LadyPH, OPH ... and ALL the wonderful others I was able to spend more time with like gumbogal, rumlover, beachbum29, spainjane and hubby, barefootA1A, j1'S brother, etc. etc. but I'm still trying to hash out the names with the faces so I still cant address properly :oops: I just wanna say:

When I got back to the Chicago Bus with the 3 remaining logs, my wife started grilling me to the third degree over who you were, why you were buying me beef logs, etc. etc. I honestly believe that my wife was concerned that I had started some kind of online affair :o .


I'm glad everyone enjoyed the logs :D !! If you come up this way for the concert on the square in Aug,I would love to meet you wife! LOL,my husband, I think was getting alittle confused when strange men gave me a hug! :o It was a great time and can't wait for next year.

You made me feel welcome and oh my, what fun we had! J Next year we will have to go on the big bus so we can have more time with more people!
