If Alpine is doing concerts this year, and tailgating is allowed by the new management, Jimmy will be either there or Miller Park in Milwaukee. Why? Alpine is always a huge draw, we know he won't be playing Wrigley this year (part of last year's agreement was no concerts in '06), as a Cubs fan he won't play US Cellular (White Sox park), so if he's touring the Midwest there's nothing to keep him from doing a southern Wisconsin show this year.
That said, the supposedly "sacred" venues of Great Woods, Alpine and Irvine have all been skipped on tours in the last couple of years...whether there's a message that nothing's sacred (although I personally thought Wrigley was right up there

Nikki-
I'm not being sarcastic, but, rather, as sincere as I know how when I say there is a 50-50 chance Jimmy may or may not play at Alpine this year.
To begin with, predicting his tour schedule is about as easy as predicting which guy Christina Augulera will sleep with tonight.
One would've thought Alpine would be one of the LAST places Jimmy would've not made a pilgramage to during the summer, but in 2005 he was an Alpine no-show. Rumors are the place is under new management, and either Jimmy isn't happy with them, or they're giving up the concert scenes there altogether.
Also, two years ago he failed to make an appearance at Great Woods, MA, thought by many to be the Mother Lode of his concert venues.(However, he DID do a HELL of a concert at Fenway Park in 2004, yet people still b|tched about no Great Woods).
Sorry to be so long-winded and vague, but, as with anything, the best way to find out is to simply "wait and see." I know it's not the answer you wanted, hell, it's not the answer I wanted, but remember, it's JIMMY BUFFETT we're talking about, and that's just how it is with him.
I, for one, would like to welcome you to B.N., hope you stop by here often, and hope you don't let a few certain smart-a$$ idiots get under your skin. Once you've been around here as long as I have, you almost look forward to their juvenille c.rap. Believe me, it'll remind you of just how far ahead of the academic curve you are. (And I'll be the first to tell you Cubbie Bear is really a great guy).
Once again, welcome, and look forward to "seeing" you.
Hmm, indecision may or may not be your problem!Wino you know wrote:I would've given my left nut to have been around when a few a-holes here were newbies.

If I recall correctly, the number of Midwest shows went from 8 in 2004 down to 4 or 5 in 2005. If he doesn't have a lot of other projects (e.g. Hoot) going this year hopefully he'll add back a few more stops.Down2TheC wrote:Gee... all this deep analysis and it seemed pretty simple in my eyes. Last year he did a very light tour and hit a lot of ball parks and special events. I always figured that if he comes back with a full sched this year, he'll be back to Alpine and Tweeter.
Played Fenway, skipped Great Woods... Played Wrigley, skipped Alpine/Tweeter. Seems like a logical predictable pattern to me.
But who knows if the full tour comes back? He may have really enoyed playing hooky for 70% of last summer. The pirate's lookin' at 60 now. Hopefully it was just a one time deal.
I'm all for Camp Randall, but there are two big obstacles - no place to tailgate (a Wisconsin Tradition) and no beer is served there (another Wisconsin Tradition!). Plus, with the recent (read: VERY expensive) renovations made to the stadium, I'm not sure the University would be open to 80,000 parrotheads making it their tropical paradise for a day.ZeroDuval wrote:Camp Bucky would be great.........
