The limbo pole is confirmed. I also found 250 brand new plastic cups I had stashed in the pile.

I'm also going to bring 100 new plastic cups.

Thank goodness for small favors

I listened to a little bit of YHTBT on the way to work this morning.
The 8 track reference is before Grapefruit Juicy Fruit, not Gods Own Drunk;
"This isn't your 8-track - I don't wanna hear that s*** in the middle of that album, I wanna hear thet ONE SONG. Now when are you gonna play it?"

Buddy Bear needs some sunglasses from Eckerd with an $8 price tag on them...

It will help me and also help elimiate people loosing cd's. I want to make sure that everyone leaves with what they brought.

I added a section to my Latest Summary Post
One question for you - Do you know if an IPod and/or Sirrius Boombox will plug straight into the sound system, or are special adapters required?

iPods have the earphone jack, either 3mm or 5mm.. should be able to patch across using that.

i 'member when it was starplex, had to get used to calling it smirnoff. remember the controversy of changing the name? cause it was the "Coca-Cola Starplex" and some people were offended that it was changed to "an alcholic bevrage" name

Here's the "Before" picture for anyone who hasn't seen it;

you can't even see the grass anymore on the new pic with all the stuff!

There's a concert, too?

The Before Picture was taken 2/17 with my cell phone. The grass and trees should be a lot greener by now.
I'll bring a bag of ant killer this Saturday to make sure we don't have an insect problem at the tailgate.

Do you tend to have bee problems? If so, maybe we can add maple syrup to the list, to put on plates away from the island, to draw the bees away.

Wait a minute - 2/17 means I was on site staking out a parking spot and taking pictures less than a week after the concert was announced.


Hi, my name is Four Play, and I'm a parrothead...

Bees aren't bad, if we keep the ants under control we'll be ok
Buddy Bear could use a jar of honey though...
