Re: Who's Going to Vegas 10/19/2013--MGM Grand?

Just got my Tickets Room and Flights pending ... It's been a number of years since i've seen him in Vegas is the street party still the place to be? Due to construction, there isn't anymore street party. Last year the pre-concert festivities were held at the pool at the Flamingo. I'm assuming they'...

Re: Who's Going ..Great Woods 6/17 Thursday.. We Are Here !

So you guys aren't doing the pre-party party at the Residence Inn anymore? Just checking so I can tell the people I'm going with when and where to meet me tomorrow.

Can't wait for tomorrow!!!!

Re: Who's Going ..Great Woods 6/17 Thursday..2 days til we go !!

Not to beat an already dying horse. . . but my biggest concern is that we take them at their word and show up at 3pm only to find that they've already caved and let a bunch of people in. Then I'll really be p***! Even though we shell out for the premier parking and kind of do our own thing, I'm thin...

Re: Landshark Taxis!

You can get Land Shark quite a few places here in Boston. McGreevy's, JJ Foley's, Purple Shamrock, even most Chili's have it. Slowly but surely it is creeping in. But we're still a primarily Sam Adams zone!

Re: Who's going to Mohegan Sun 11/21

I am heading to Mohegan on Thursday of this week for a day of gambling. I'll be sure and ask around about the tailgating situation for us. I'll report back anything I find out.

We're at the Hilton Garden Inn in Groton, about 10 minutes away. Any idea what time the pre-show festivities will begin?

Re: Who's going to Mohegan Sun 11/21

It took me about 20 minutes to finally pull up a decent pair of seats this morning. Section 106, row J. They're nowhere near as good as my 5th row seats at Great Woods earlier this year, but at least I'll be there. Can't wait to see everyone on the 21st!

I've been eating it for a couple of weeks now. It's pretty good, though not great. It would be better if the crust was graham cracker instead of pastry. But the lime ice cream with lime swirls is totally delicious! The Farewell Yellow Brickle Road is great too. But the Key Lime almost feels virtuous...

Think seats are usually $251, 175 and 91. Something like that.

Re: Buffett Music is Played in The Strangest Places

Checking into a rather swanky hotel in Connecticut that had a beautiful player piano in the lobby. Without even realizing it, I start singing along with "Grapefruit, Juicy Fruit" on the player piano. The woman behind the check in desk was shocked. "You know this song?!?!" I said,...

Re: GW Live Nation Survey - if you get it PLEASE respond!

Well that is just silly. Part of the problem is that they have 12 year old kids (or so it seems!) directing traffic in the lots. We were lined up on the shoulder of the road at 10:55am and they STILL wouldn't open the gates. You think after 20+ years and 50+ shows for Jimmy, that they'd have a plan,...

Re: GW Live Nation Survey - if you get it PLEASE respond!

What was the "parking fiasco"? We always opt for premier parking (and were the first ones in the lot this year and last) and actually got out pretty quickly this year. They used to stop traffic and let the premier parking out first, but not anymore.

Just curious. . .

Re: Jimmy gets political (blog link)

I think one tiny thing that Chrisrehm overlooked is that The Dixie Chicks (whom I love) DEPEND on radio play and media coverage to sell albums/downloads. Jimmy never has and probably never will. I think the Chicks totally got screwed by the hooplah over their comments a few years ago. Americans prid...

Re: Songs Buffett Needs to Retire From the Live Shows

I love, love, love Southern Cross, so even though he didn't write it, I'd vote to keep it in. And even though I am a BEG, I'd be happy if he dropped that one. I never liked his version of it at all. It's my point in the show to sit down and rest my flip flops for a few minutes. :wink: I agree with t...

It's true. They're cracking down in the general parking lots, but they pretty much leave the premium parking lots alone. It has nothing to do with the change to the Comcast Center (it's the same ownership, just a different name); it's the Mansfield police that are cracking down. Just be relatively l...

It's actually called the Comcast Center now, not Tweeter Center or Great Woods, though JB still calls it Great Woods. :D Lawn seats can be fun, but they can also be a hassle with drunk people falling on you, peeing on (or near) you depending on where you stand. You are very far away from the stage a...

My BF and I were at Mohegan last weekend (we go WAY too often!) and there is no way the Margaritaville there will be finished by August. My guess would be that he'll play the arena the last week in August, before the Great Woods shows in Mansfield. Then he'll return for the opening of the Margaritav...

I'm in for the Thursday show! We got 4 tickets in Section 8, Row L. Not as good as the 5th row seats we had at the last Great Woods show, but we're happy nonetheless.
