Congrats to all the Hoot Islanders...I hope you had a great time!!!

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 -

Hoot Island - Dallas 2006
Party At The End Of The Parking Lot


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!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wifey and I enjoyed the Crap outa the party.... even after the NICE...(cough) man made me move my smoker and motorhome.... just got back to work...and was checking to see if there were any pics.... enjoyed seeing some old pals..and making some new ones...next time...I'll bring more food LOL.... 80 lbs of sausage and ribs...i thought i would have plenty......and I heard HOOT burned up 250lbs of crawfish, couple of hundred burgers, few thousand jello shots.... <~at least that's how many empty plastic cups i picked up this AM.... AND plenty of cerveza and ritas around......

Hey from Hoot Island!!!

I'm about to take a much needed nap....but
