For what it is worth ..... the only weekend in June that did NOT have rooms available with direct 1st floor pool access (AKA the party rooms) were on the weekend of June 21-23.. which coincidentally is the same June weekend he has played GW in the past several years.

I did. :wink:

Obviously .. you did :lol:

I think the usual suspects have those rooms locked up for the whole month Tam, C-Dawg etc. Nothing like thinking ahead.

I didn't bother making any hotel reservations since I probably won't be there.

I've been checking airfare periodically and unless prices come down I'll be staying home.

Larry is not stupid. He realizes that Jimmy only has 20 - 25 more years of playing Great Woods and he won't miss any of them. We are entering the final stretch. Jimmy Buffett's 2038 farewell tour will be here before we know it.

I'm starting to pay attention to dates now, guys, and if I can swing a trip to New England in the summertime, I'd like to come up, but it's doubtful. Airfare is the first hurdle, but the second, bigger hurdle is time off work. We shall see, though. I'd love to come up to GW again!

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.

Can't tell you why but I am sort of hoping for a late August show . . . I prefer to end my summers with Jimmy around New England as opposed to starting them. Whenever he plays Great Woods, however, I will be there and party my left nut off (it regrows anually) and love every second of it. But those late August nights really feel right.

Yes! Labor Day Weekend Show at GW! [smilie=battingeyes.gif]

I do realize that late August is tougher for our beloved Grill Master Moose. But I bet he would enjoy a non-working tailgate once in a while, too. Either way, sure wish JB would mix it up, something other than Fathers Day weekend.

Here is where someone (I predict either the newly promoted back to Admiral Obvious or Tommy!) reply with something about golf and a lengthy history of why Jimmy plays GW in June. The point being my left nut needs time to regrow.

I get the logistics of moving the tour around - thanks, Tommy! :lol:

But he can always start out west and move east, can't he? TX in early May, move West then Midwest, and end up in the East. Labor Day at GW and then Mohegan around Columbus Day or Thanksgiving. :D

Committed myself to two weekends in June at the roof. I am guessing he is going to kick off the summer tour during the first weekend of summer like he usually does.

Evening Nancy. I wish the fathers would plan their weekends around JB a bit better.
