Re: Those who've met (or know) JB: what sorta guy is he, really?

sure, we all have our moments...but on stage in front of 25,000 people? Absolutely! Jimmy is no different than any other boss. I've seen bosses blow up at one employee in front of a lot of people. No, it's not right, but it happens. Holy crap, the guy gets annoyed. I feel so much better knowing that.

Re: May Concerts in Question?

It appears that schools officials are being notified to prepare for a possible early closing. Whether any of this is necessary, I don't have a clue but I read a few personal emails from friends and they all were preparing for the worst. I do hope we look back at this as media mania, but right now a...

Re: May Concerts in Question?

Just to keep this thread on the original topic, all I know is that as of right now two weeks from today my guide dog and I will be in Las Vegas for the May 16 JB show. The swine flu outbreak is all over the news right now, but within a week or less things could calm down and another story will take ...

Re: Who's Going to Vegas 10-17-09? (VFWers)

reading this thread just makes my day. I'm so glad I let Ms Sammie dog talk me into coming to Las Vegas in May and in October. She is a guide dog with very good taste. Seriously, I'm so excited. This is going to be one hell of a party.

Oh definitely call the Flamingo and make your reservation. The person that helped me with my reservation was very nice to deal with, and when I told her that I was staying at the Flamingo in May as well she was really happy. Then I told her about Sammie dog, and she loved golden retrievers, so we ha...

Of course, being Las Vegas you have a lot of hotel options that are close to the heart of all the action. A lot of people stay at the Tropicana, the Impurial Palace, Hooters, ETC. However, I prefer to take the easiest way possible and be right in the epicenter of all the action. Thanks to this thre...

In regards to the last couple of posts, you can buy tickets to LMS at the door.....however, you do not get a LMS t-shirt included unless you pre-register by 5/1. Also, they will have a guest list of everyone who has submitted payment at the door. Just give them your name....they'll mark you off the...

But see, if you know him personally well enough to answer this, you're not gonna answer. :wink: Why wouldn't someone who knows him answer (unless they felt like they had to say he's not a nice fellow)? If someone happens to ask me about what kind of people my friends are, I'm happy to answer that t...

Re: One man's thoughts on the Raleigh show

This was our 2nd outdoor show. Our first was last June in Raleigh. While we had fun in June, it was too damn hot. On Wednesday, I had the idea to purchase a Premier parking pass. What a fantastic idea. We were about 20 rows back from the first security check. We managed to score a spot next to a li...

Re: Jimmy Buffett farewell tour in 2010?

I am not going to think about Jimmy retiring. I'm still the new Jimmy Buffett fan on the block, and I am loving this music and the shows so much. I just want to concentrate on enjoying this ride to the maximum for as long as possible.

I go to see Jimmy and the CRB work their magic. The tailgating, the friends, and the craziness would not be possible without the magic of Jimmy Buffett and the CRB.

Re: Songs Buffett Needs to Retire From the Live Shows

Jimmy is definitely a singer songwriter first. The beach bum thing is secondary and has become a big wonderful fantasy to an extent. Sure, he gets to surf, sail, fly, ETC., but none of this could have happened for him if he had not worked his ass off for it. Jimmy's story is the stuff that dreams ar...

Re: Songs Buffett Needs to Retire From the Live Shows

I don't go to any concerts to hear (or not to hear) any one song live. It is more about the entire experience. Jimmy playing what he likes is what makes the show so great...Jimmy laughing at himself screwing up the words and having senior moments makes it even more entertaining. If Jimmy took out s...
