Yes, thats true about the south Florida shows. Maybe bacause the past few years have been all indoor shows? I just don't know why?
I don't know why, either.... Maybe more laid back? Maybe more caffeine required.... :P

I was just thinking about the Wrigley show.... ahhhhhhhhhh.............. :D :D :D

The Jacksonville show!! I was dancing my butt off (notice some is missing :o ) and I looked behind me. My friend was up having a good time and his wife (obviously there to keep an eye one him cuz she was BORED!) was sitting with her arm folded across her chest and not even watching the show! I apoligized afterwards for shacking my heiny in her face all night! :oops:

Everybody has their favorite Reefer, mine is Heather. That's why Jump In Line is my favorite song on the Fenway DVD. :lol:

Jump In Line was the opening song and it was prerecorded, like when they open with Hot, Hot, Hot. The only Reefers on stage were Heather and Jules.

As long as Heather and Louisa (or Jules when she was in the band) are on stage whatever costume they're wearing is my favorite.

I liked how he opened with "Domino College" back in 1997 (I think that was the year). Something like that a song that he either hasn't played ever in concert or something that he hasn't played in years.

Something like.... Everybody's on the Run.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.
