JB Rocked - Finally made Parrotvision after 12 years

Post by skiboutins »

We just got back to GW country and boy did Jones Beach rock.

First of all, a big hello to all you BNers we met there....you all know how to party.

While we were hanging around the BN bar, the Buffettvision camera rolled up and my wife and I had our 'Lost Shaker of Salt' and 'Jimmy's Lucky Lime' costumes on....we all posed in front of the BN bar and things looked great.

THEN....

We went back to our car to continue the tailgate and they rolled up again and asked to tape some more.....so we obliged of course. Lo and behold during WATPAPWUA....there we were.....all 3 seconds of glory. Boy did we scream.

If we missed you....there will be a repeat performace at Fenway on Sunday....I think we will try to get into Axis/Avalon and see what trouble we can stir up.

Finally......one more shout out to dancelikeafool, who won that ticket auction with a high bid of $400. DLAF....you and your friends can party.
I think I drank more from 7:30-8pm with you than I did during the prior 6 hours. I did draw the line on the Captain Morgan...too many Coronas.

Oh, and if anyone was curious...DLAF does earn his name....excellent partier....but loves to dance....with his sandals in hand. YOU ROCK.

God....I could keep going on and on....will definitely go back to JB...even without tickets.....worth the 4 hour ride.

Lastly, thanks to all who stopped by to see Daniel and his Keet Koupe....he cruised the lot until 4pm when his Grandma took him home.
My wife was concerned about potential 'drunks' spoiling his time but everyone he met were true Parrothead people.

So many great people....that is all I can remember....and Buffettvision.

Congrats...and very cool!

I've only known one person (Coconuts) who made Parrotvision.

My wife and I were live on screen the other night in Cincy when we shook Jimmy's hand following the encore. Does that sort of count???

I dream of the day artists make available not only live audio recordings of every show (Oh wait, some do that already Jimmy!), but also the video of the show (complete with Parrotvision and cutaway segments).

Joann (Tiki Bar) has been up there several times. My friends and I made it at Alpine this year, thanks to the Surfboard Bar!

I feel the energy! I too made the big screen in Cinci last week. We had prime tailgate spot right across from Coney Island entrance right on the corner. Truck was flying a 6' fin, hood was fully shark toothed and the roar of my gas blender attracted plenty of attention ... including the Jimmy-Vision film crew who spotted my tattoo. They rolled up, handed me a bottle of M'ville tequilia to use in the shot (as if I didn't have plenty of my own, but hey, it was on them) as I poured it into a perfectly spun strawberry margarita.

LOVE (jimmy, reefers and parrotheads) & LUCK (enough to get tix to many shows and get on the big screen for the first time.

FINS UP!
Love & Luck!

...nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo.
(see mine at the left)

... my girl, my friends & family, my boat, my music, and my dog... that's what livin' is to me.

We saw ALOT of PHs that deserved to be up there.....lots of creativity.

I hit up the camera crew to see if we could score a raw or edited copy,
but they said once it hit film, it became copyrighted material (of JB, I presume). Don't they realize they could make a mint selling copies, both of the edited version and all the 'cutting room floor' outtakes......

We never made it out of Lot 5 at Jones Beach....can anyone report in on other lots?

And who were the three big guys eating all the Margaritaville Shrimp?
I had to elbow my way past them just to score two Coconut beauties.
