Need Buffett Information

Post by HebertNecessity »

Hi, I'm looking for specific info like:
How many members total are in all 200 Parrothead fan clubs?
How many total albums has Jimmy produced?
How many people attend his concerts annually?
How many people are usually in attendance @ MOTM?
I did contact Parrotheads in Paradise but haven't yet been able to get these answers-
even any close estimate would be greatly appreciated--
Thanks so much-hope you're having a great day!

Is this just your general curious nature or are you writing a term paper?

Perhaps if you provided some background as to why you are looking for this information
I and some others might put more effort into helping you get these answers.

Otherwise ......

Hello again, thanks for the reply.
Actually, in my memoirs, I did write a story about a three year period in my life when I experienced some traumatic events. In it I describe how I eventually found serendipity in my survival prompted by some Buffett lyrics. In the most challenging times, these songs brought me peace of mind and reminded me to realign my priorities.
My reason for wanting the adt'l info is two part:
#1. Since this book is something that I want to leave for my kids to read someday, these statistics bring more credibility to the idea. Presently, I have two teenage sons (formerly parakeets) who make it their mission to proclaim that anything their parents support must be lame! The information I'm requesting will help prove them wrong. By the way, if there were a college assigning term papers on this topic, I'd be sure to send them there!!-Margaritaville University??
#2. In my memoir writing class, we've been instructed to bring writing samples and to know our subject matter as well as possible target audiences in the event we may ever want to publish. I have actually recently discussed having part of another chapter (in which the focus is more on all of the serendipity) with a local magazine editor.
Is this information confidential? I do not mean to ask anyone to do my work for me. I simply didn't know where to start-another reply told me to go to the discography for the album count so I'll happily follow up for the answer to that question.
Thanks again for any input-

You can some of these statistics from PHIP.com, such as how many Parrothead clubs there are.

As far as many people have attended concerts: you're gonna have to extrapolate. For instance if an average of 20,000 attend each of the "big" concert venues each year, he plays "x" big concerts a year....you get the idea. You can use the "Tour" tab on this site to go back quite a few years to see how many concerts he's done. Allow for some "intimate" venues and surprise shows. You won't get an exact number, of course, but maybe at least a number you'll be comfortable including in what you're writing.

You might want to not have your telephone number in such a public forum. :o Have pholks just PM you with information.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Pinot Noir in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO"

Excellent point. Not that I think anyone here would use it for "nefarious" purposes, but stuff on here IS pretty easy to Google...and since it looks like you're using part of your "real" name in your screen name....

Jimmy regularly makes billboards top concert tours. I'm pretty sure that you might get a hit in their archives that would provide the concert attendance
