Tailgating or concert

Just wondering...if Jimmy isn't coming to your town would a big Tailgating bash from noon-11pm complete with partying, drinking, and steros blasting and everything else that goes with it be a substitute if 15, 000 people showed up in the parking lot?

I think part of the fun of the tailgate is the anticipation of the show... not sure if I really want to spend $20.00 just to drink in a parking lot and have nor show to go to.

However, my friends and family do get together each year for a Buffett themed party and although it is not quite the same as the tailgate, we always have a great time.

interesting question, I go for the concert but last summer at Fenway it just wasnt quite the same without the party in the parking lot

I agree... Fenway was not the same last year... I need the tailgating before the show... I hate to admit it but there have been a couple of times that I was having such a good time in the parking lot that I did not want to go inside to the concert... Of course I did, but I always have a blast in the parking lot!!!! I'm definitely looking forward to the GW parking lot this year! It's nice to be back there!!!

Less than 3 months!!

I think it would help ease the pain.

Also, having a bunch of your Buffett type friends over for a BBQ, listening to a live show on radio margaritaville would also help.

That's my plan for the summer.

Gotta have the show...party is great, but the show is why I'm there.

We don't need a reason to party up here, but it would be a fun alternative since Alpine Valley is off this summer's tour. I think they're working on something over on the "alpine not happening" thread.

See, I'm exactly the opposite. The show is great, but I NEED the party with fellow parrotheads!

I'm right there with you Land_shark 3, there's just something about being in the presence of 40,000 people who share the same state of mind.....

A lot of venues say no tailgating but they never enforce it. If they did, it wouldn't bother me. I go for the music.

I keep saying this but no one believes me...the Woodlands Pavilion does enforce it.
Ask ETP

She has seen the men on horses.

Yup. Same here. Now, having said that, I *love* MOTM. Jimmy has shown up there more than once, but I don't count on it at all. I go to MOTM to hang with friends and listen to music I like. So, while it doesn't absolutely have to be a JB show, a gathering has to involve a musical event to be appealing to me.....

If your trying to say in place of alpine, a big party, then I say I will boycott that party and any other parrothead gathering. Jimmy should know better than too skip the holiest of concert cathedral's known as alpine. Any substitute should be considered a ludicrous and preposterous lack of respect for the Valley known as Alpine.

I have to say, the all day affair in the parking lot is a blast! The show is almost a letdown, just because it means the party is almost over. The music is like the grand finale, but I need the parking lot to call it a true event.

Hey, it worked in the movies and if it doesn't you'll still have one helluva party.
