We now have a 20 foot flag pole so everyone who can't caravan in with us (time to be determined later) will be able to find us. Look for the BN Flag and the wonderful Landshark flag Candyman and Mrs. got us in Chicago last year.

AND - we will have our own "luggable loo" and privacy pop-up tent .... - if nothing else functional and convenient. (with a seat too per requests!!!)

Still working on music and so far no electricity for the blenders ....unless someone can replicate that cool thing from Charlotte's tailgate last year.....I didn't take notes. Some contraption, generator thingy.

How many days????

We will have a portable generator with us as well. I beleive it has 4 outlets on it. So if anyone needs electricity, just bring some extension cords, and you can run them to your tailgate. Typically we put the generator on the opposite side of the car's tailgate to keep down on the noise. We will also have a frozen concotion maker with us as well.

I have a FCM and I am driving down, I ccan throw it in the trunk if you want?

Does anyone know what time they are saying the parking lots will open. I know at Nissan, they said the lots would open at a certain time, but if a boatload of cars are waiting, they would usually let you in early. I agree, that it will probably take us about an hour to set up as well.

Will the BN tailgate be parking in the premier parking section? So much drinking to do, so little time to get prepared!!!!!

Somewhere someone's got a picture of me from last year using the.....ummm....."privacy loo" I believed they called it. You can tell it's me cause of the dumb hat.

I can't speak of it for sure, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it done once or twice before, possibly on TV. It's looks to be something worth consideration.

I'm sure there is plenty of proof of y'all's lack of naivete floating around the stratosphere somewhere.........

AHHH could be. I guess we'll find out at Raleigh. Will it look like a bunch of rookies or trained professionals. As Jimmy once said, "Only Time Will Tell"

Gosh - I guess I better get another list of "stuff" going and post on Page 1. I think we have covered many of the key things - although not sure we have jello shots covered...heck there ar 225,000 recipes when you google - how hard can this be? Maybe we will try it.....

Do I sound like a broken record yet? PLEASE let me know if you want us to bring food for you. Nothing like running out of food at a party. Burgers and fixings in the afternoon and BBQ samiches after the concert.

I haven't heard when the parking lots will open - last year we strolled in about 12:15. Don't know if will be different because of a weekday show. I have some contacts at Walnut Creek and will try to get some inside scoop soon.

PHINS UP......

We will have our own food and drink. We ice everything down pretty well, and put it in the refrigerator at the hotel. All we ask is that you let us know where to meet you guys at that day. Our supply will be stocked.

Boat Drinks, you need them right? Welcome to BN!!!

Thank you! I will certainly bring lots of Boat Drinks and the usual Jeep full of crazy Buffett decorations.... I love a well decorated tailgate spot!

Looking forward to meeting everyone! My Buffett concert-going-crew has dwindled down over the last couple of years, so I am very excited to be a part of a big group again!
