That was a kickass party was it not?

Off to take back the generators, deconstruct Hoot Island, and clean up the mess. I'll probably be there until at least 10 or 11. Everyone's invited to come help!

It was a great time - even with all the rain!

Everyone - ya'll did a great job!! I figured the party would be over when the rain came - but nnooo not even the virgins backed down from the challenge!

The goodie bags were great - I know what CD I'll be listening to as I head back to the Land of OZ

I met some great people - and truly appreciated my first Jimmy Buffett experince!!!

Again - words can't express how much appreciation and wonderment of all the hard work, dedication, time, everything that went into pulling this thing off.

Thanks for letting us crash your party -

the morning after the day before . . .

Don't know where to begin . . .

The amount of imagination, planning and hard work put in by Mayor Bill & First Lady Terry (and so many others) is impossible to adequately thank. Definitely was an outrageous "You Had To Be There" bash. I'm thinking a few pictures might be showing up soon.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Frog has been fighting some spring-time allergies/respiratory crud and the phone call that nasty weather was coming thru the north TX area caused us to decide to bail at intermission. I really wanted to hang out for the after-concert party but maybe next-time . . .

Had so much phun i forgot to get my goody bag and cookbook i was supposed to get from ETP . . .

Once again, it was my own damn fault!

I ACCEPT!!!!!

All I can say is unfreakinbelievable

I thought my last trip to Dallas was a something but I am pretty sure this one topped that one. To much information to dissect at the moment but a great big THANK YOU to everyone. Bill and crew you did an unfreakinbelievable job with what you put together. I am not sure any tailgate could top this one except for the next time Jimmy comes to town.

Pictures and more later!!!!!!!!!!!!
