They were all really great, but I think the Tulluy Mars story was my favorite. It's been a while since I read the book, but the story was called Take Another Road, I think.

We got our tickets for Nissan in yesterday's mail! :D And the envelope had a big TM return address. The tickets we got for Raleigh came in a plain envelope. I actually tossed them out thinking it was junk mail. Realized the possiblity of it being our tickets a couple of days later and had to dig thr...

For the last 5 years we had to buy tickets from Ticket exchanges or eBay for the Nissan show. (TM finally worked for us this year!) Worst we ever paid was $80 for a $27 lawn seat. Can't imagine that I would pay the broker prices, but then again I've never had that left as my only option. <-----Knock...

Dennis Leary did the A**hole Song during his "No Cure for Cancer" tour. Never heard Jimmy do it. Of course it could be a different song. Is it the one that has a refrain of spelling? If so, that's Leary.

I knew Phill Collins played the inspector, but completely missed seeing Jimmy. And wouldn't you know, that's one of the videos I left at my parents house when I left for college. :( Might have to go out to the WallyWorld and get a new copy!

I agree, Minnie. We were at the Raleigh show. Thought "Defying Gravity" was one of the best encores we'd seen.

We don't have an "inline" option, either. Little over 4 hours to closest venues or ticketmaster outlets. (Sometimes it really sucks to live in the boondocks.) We're grateful for online TM. We never got through on the phones, so online TM is our best shot - crappy as it is. Managed to get s...

We managed to get lawn seats for Nissan and Merriweather online this year. (First time in about 5 years!) By the time all of the charges were added, each ticket was @ $47. Saw an ad on the ticket exchange here selling lawns for $115. :evil: <------Thanking the ticket gods that we don't have to go to...

Not sure who could help you with a shirt unless it would be the Margaritaville in Key West. If it was me, I'd contact them. If they can't help you, they might know who could. But don't give up on the postal service yet. We sent my sister-in-law a Christmas gift on Dec 13 using 3 day priority service...

We used the print your own option this year. Worked great. The only warning we got was to never buy a print your own ticket from a second hand source. If someone has already gone through the gate and had the same barcode scanned, your ticket wouldn't be valid. As long as you're buying directly from ...

No Bucs??? They got off to a bit of a rough start, but Chucky Gruden looks like he's finally breathed some life into the offense. And the defense has been playing almost like the '99 Bucs again. I think they'll only get better as the season progresses, and they'll have a real shot at winning the who...

Well, they are very sweet and tasty. But I gotta say, they looked nothing like the conch fritters I've had at restaurants. Turned out more like conch blobs.

Hey Penny, I sure hope you see this soon. I'm in the middle of making these. The instructions call for milk and buttermilk, but there's no milk listed in the ingredients. How much milk, or did you just type it by mistake in the directions? HELP PLEASE! They smell so good so far. I'd hate to botch th...

Used a Mac all through college. Both my own laptop and the desktops in the Mac lab. (I was a journalism major, also.) Now I use Windows. At work becuase I have to and at home because it's a real pain in the arse to find Mac programs!
