Hi There!

New member here to the forum. Going to my FIRST JB show in Mansfield, MA 6/18. Very excited! Getting the tailgating list together as we speak. As a first-timer or virgin, if you will, any tips I need to know about? What time to arrive, parking, etc., etc.? Bringing hubby along for his first show as well.

Seems like you all have way too much fun on here....I love it! :D

PS...gotta figure out this avatar thing, can't seem to get it to work...grrr!

Hey there swizzlestick!
Welcome to the friendliest Jimmy Buffett resource I know of! :D
Cool to have some first timers (virgins they are called here) among the GW crowd! [smilie=battingeyes.gif]
This will be my second JB show, the first open air, and the first in the USA. (and my first trip to the USA at all, that is...)
So our experience may be quite similiar I guess, I'd consider me being a 'virgin' too... [smilie=boggl3y3dummy-ani.gif] [smilie=boggl3y3dummy-ani.gif]
In case this is your first trip to the Boston area, there's some information here: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=85706
And if you happen to be in the area Friday already maybe have a look here as well: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=85645
Looking forward to meeting you in Mansfield in less than one month's time!

Edit to add:
Oops, just found out you live 'near' Boston...
Paris, France, September 2010. Paris 2011. Paris 2012. 2013. 2015.
Mansfield MA, Great Woods June 18 2011. And June 2012. And 2013!
Jimmy in Key West, MOTM 2011. Unforgettable! And let's not talk about MOTM 2015 :wink:

Welcome Swizzle! 8)
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"

Welcome.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

Don't know if anyone provided the link come down to the Pre-Concert Gathering area and there is a Great Woods thread there.
