Had a ball in Vegas, great to meet a lot of you! Agree it may be the best concert I have ever attended. Apparently the reason Jimmy did "God's Own Drunk" instead of taking the scheduled intermission was that all of the arena's restrooms went out of commission during the first half. They cl...

Got 5 tix on the floor, section D. Turned down about 15 "best available" selections before these finally came up! Missed the Vegas shows the last couple of years, so looking forward to coming back. Staying in the Signature Towers behind the Grand. The suites there are less expensive than g...

Back to the other life at the office. It was a nice weekend sharing the Buffett and BN'er experience with my grown up Keets and new friends. Sure enjoyed meeting y'all at the Arena and at the Shark Tank and the late night wrap-up. Thanks for the warm hospitality! I hope someone will post the group p...

Thanks BEG! We'll try to get there to hear a little of them. I wonder if the bars will be open at the tank at that time?? The concourse is usually the inside perimeter hallway that surrounds the arena, so I guess the doors will open at 6:30? Sounds good to me! We'll just a have a tailgate party insi...

Hello Back to you BEG! I'm on the darn phone all day and usually don't take the cell to concerts cause the darn vibrator scares the crap outa me when it goes off. Nearly got electrocuted once many years ago and it feels like I'm getting shocked. Not a good thing when one is suffering from slight alc...

BEG:

So happy to hear that you're going to make it to the concert!!
You'll have a great time as it sounds like you've got plenty of good friends taking care of ya. Hope to see y'all there.

RumPunch and Crew

Well, actually the opening and for that matter, the closing acts are the Parrotheads in attendance. We tend to have a good time.

BEG and mrsmcg: So sorry to hear about your injuries. Hope you both recover fully and quickly. I need a knee replacement, so maybe the three of us ought to rent wheelchairs and have a race from the Arena to the Shark Tank! Although I suppose it's probably against the law to operate a wheel chair in ...

There will be six in my phlock.

you probably want to mention something about his love of flying, sailing, surfing, fly fishing, and traveling the tropical & exotic places of the world. A lot of that formed the basis of his songs, and that, along with his business smarts led to his phenomenal life and career that we all want to...

Thanks for the info on the tailgating (or lack thereof) and a special thanks for the invite to the Tiki Bar. Sounds like a great time, but we probably won't roll in to San Jose until about 3-4Pm and have dinner reservations at 5, so we'll probably hit those bars on 2nd Street before the concert........

Do they allow tailgating at the Pavillion?? If so, anyone doing it. My grown keets have never experienced a Parrothead Tailgate party before, unless you count the parties in Vegas.

Betty, Good to hear that Henry is getting back to normal. Just caught this thread, so I wasn't much help. Concensus seems to be Dawn is the best for such problems: http://www.homemadesimple.com/saveaduck/pressroom.shtml Heck, I talk to our 14 yr old lab and 15+ yr old persian cat all the time. Mostl...

It's been sunny up here all week. It's about 62 outside now, but was supposed to start raining today. Guess not.

We're at the Arena and will probably roll in about 3. See ya in San Jose!

mrsmcg & Brown Eyed Girl: Thank you for thinking about me! I've been on the road again and busy today getting some Willie Nelson tickets. But I'm back. I think we're still going to have to go to Lou's cause we got a hankering for some good seafood. Maybe we'll mosey on over to the other bars bef...

My apologies to everyone on this board about my reply to the pool party. I was not aware of the situation and was certainly not trying to make light of it.

Again, please accept my apologies, and we hope to meet some of you in San Jose.

RumPunch

mrsmcg, are all of us "outatowners" invited to the pool party at your place too? I'll bring the rum punch!!

My wife was 7 1/2 months with my daughter when we saw JB at the Texas Opry House, a small venue in Houston in 1978. After she was born, whenever she would get collicky or unhappy, we would put on some Buffett music and she would immediately calm down and get happy. We found this out by trial and err...

Upon further review of restaurant listings, it does appear that Lou's Village is the place to get some good seafood, and I imagine they serve rum drinks too.

RumPunch and his partying family will be there Saturday afternoon. will look ya'll up. Celebrating daughter's 27th BD with a Buffett concert. Her first she was minus two months old so sublimily became a Parrothead before she was even born. Son had no choice either cause other than a little Willie Ne...
