Cheesburger in Paradise/ Greenville, SC

For the charity events and openings like this, I'm told we always know in advance if he is coming. It helps with the ticket-selling and charity end of things.

The "Surprise" visits are the ones where he just shows up, like happened in Downer's Grove last November, they had no idea he was coming until an hour before hand.

Ummm... I don't recall hearing about Jimmy appearing in Downer's Grove in November 2004 for a surprise visit.

And if you mean November 2003, for the opening party, it definitely was not a surprise visit... he was on "the bill" from the get-go, and the $75 tickets were near impossible to get. They did a raffle for a chance to buy them in a hospital parking lot, and US99 and the River radio stations also gave away chances to buy them.

I never did manage a ticket, but Novelist's eye and I went anyway, hung out outside with about 40 other people, thoroughly enjoyed the show from the sidewalk outside the rollup doors, and were treated to mini cb's, pizza, posters, t-shirts etc anyway. I made the paper, she made the CLTV video, and we officially met Johnny and the Beach Bum Band for the very first time!

No, I was told he stopped by last fall! Not sure how it escaped everyone's attention here...Scuba Jeremy said it was awesome to see!!!
