LOL. Excellent Duckett! Nice job "Charlotte Crew Hosts".

I forgot to ask Jim Mayer to sign Duckett's Travel Journal. Maybe somewhere down this BuffettNews Summerzcool travel adventure we can correct that oversight. Who knows? Perhaps if Duckett makes the front row again Jimmy might sign his journal. I've asked Jimmy to sign some unique things from the front row in the past (a vinyl CILCIA LP cover, an 8-track tape, a Conch republic passport, a copy of A Pirate Looks At Fifty).

Wouldn't that be cool? And a great charity auction item in the future.

We weren't brave enough to take the Travel Journal inside the venue last night (hate to be responsibly for losing it). At one point, I thought that Karacal may get Jimmy to sign Duckett himself (a new tatoo!).

Gotta run, Duckett's showered and in the car waiting for his trip east!

Front row seat?.........oh geez, he's gonna be so jaded by the time I get him. Hell, I just hope he survives the parking lot with me.

Have we addressed the possibility of holes and what is the correct way to deal with leaks? I guess duck (not duct) tape would be appropriate.

By the way, my girlfriend who'll will be attending Irvine with me, (but is not a BN'er) is claiming to be Duckett's long lost Aunt. Her last name is "Mallard".

Methinks he may actually have enjoyed the "bondage" aspect of being strapped in. 8) :lol:

His "travel journal" was with him Friday Night at the Fox Sports Bar and also all day at FFF III.
Bummer. :( We're hoping to get as many BuffettNews signatures as possible as well as your occasional Coral Reefer, Trop Rockers and Radio Margaritaville personalities to sign the book.

Here's a link to Duckett's Travel Page.

Were you guys actually sitting down? I guess if you can afford front row center, you get to sit down. Not possible in the nose bleeds.

Heh.. Yes I did!

Oh, BARRY and Karacal were the real heroes there! They took turns hoisting him on their shoulders!

What size shirt does Duckett wear ? Where will he be during July when there are no concerts ? He can come stay with me...I have a pool. Then since Cincinnati is the first concert after July, he can travel with me there, attend the pre-concert party at the Cheeseburger in Paradise, then go to the tailgate the next day and attend the concert.
We MIGHT wait until July to have our annual Parrothead pool party (with my Parrothead club members in attendance) so he can attend that.
What am I saying ? He's a DUCK for Heaven's sake ????? :oops: :lol: :lol: :lol:

What you AND "the Duck" really need to do is come to our Beach Bash
in St Augustine. I hear there'll be some sort of "frenzy" there? (See link in sig line)

How does one officially get to be added to his itinerary anyhoo?

C-Dawg is the official travel agent for Duckett. I'm sure he can add you both to the itinerary. After that it becomes a matter of logistics for you to contact whomever has the duck before you and make arrangements for the transfer. Duckett and his "gear" have been mailed when there is sufficient time and he has also traveled by car from one show to the next.

We also have a few "backup body doubles" for Duckett in the event of a deflating emergency (I have one and I believe C-Dawg has a couple). Of course none of those backups are on the road with "the current Duckett", so a lot of good that does us ... a bit of an oversight on my part. I think I'll check the schedule and mail a backup to whomever might next be able to get Duckett and his emergency spare together.
