Re: If Jimmy did a CD of covers....

I never like "Werewolves in London" but I didn't mind Jimmy's version of it. He gave it much more of a laid back, fun vibe.
The one I'd like to hear, and am almost willing to bet we will this summer after his Crossroads concert, is Zac Brown's "Toes."

Re: 2010 Shopping Report

Great idea about the tailor, Kruzin. I'd do it right away if I liked the color of the shirt more. I didn't want to do black for the summer (see enough of it during our looooong winters!) so I got the "burnt orange" and it looks terrible on me. I look dead in it! Now I have to decide if I w...

Re: 2010 Shopping Report

Love the platter, BEG! I swear I'm the queen of talking myself out of a purchase then regretting it later. Hey Kruzin - I bought the same "Birds of a Feather Party Together" shirt that you did at Kohl's. I got mine on sale then added my coupon and got it for only $11! My problem is that I'...

Re: Who's going to Alpine Valley - June 26th 2010

I've been looking around other threads on this site because this one's been so slow. :( I found a fun one either on the Jimmy Buffet Discussion or the Parrothead Social Area on places to find parrothead stuff. I'd tell you where it is, but I haven't been able to find it again in over a week! I keep ...

Re: Laid-back beach area on west coast of Florida?

Thanks, C-Dawg. You all are great! Speaking of retiring on the west coast - my husband and I were just talking about how it's a good time to buy in Florida and whether it'd be worth buying something to rent out for the next 15 years if we fall in love with AMI. If the economy rebounds well, it could...

Re: Laid-back beach area on west coast of Florida?

Thanks so much everyone for your replies. It looks like the winner is Anna Maria Island - with possible day trips to Venice and the Clearwater Beach area. Everyone made their areas sound so good that it was hard to choose! We're definately hoping to hit O'Maddy's, C-Dawg and if we do I'll say "...

Laid-back beach area on west coast of Florida?

We're looking for a laid-back area on the Gulf Coast of Florida with a good beach and some family-type stuff to do. We'd like to be somewhere between Tampa and Sarasota where it's not too built up, casual atmosphere and dining, biking, mini golf, and a bar or two on the beach! Does anyone have any t...

Re: 2010 Shopping Report

Darn - I was just in Green Bay the last couple of days and they have a Hobby Lobby there. I meant to go today before we headed home and forgot. They also have one in Grand Rapids, MI. Big Lots has a pretty good selection of tiki stuff, parrothead-type wood signs (we bought 2), plastic coconut bras,...

Vacation Planning Help Needed - Please!!!

Hey Parrotheads- After getting a short reprieve from winter here in the U.P. the forecast is for the cold weather and some snow to return this weekend. I need a break from this so we're heading south. Most of our family would like to go to the Outer Banks area but our 12 year old daughter keeps givi...

Re: Who's going to Alpine Valley - June 26th 2010

You could be right. I just heard an ad on the radio that they would be appearing at the Country Fest - not which night. I checked it out on the official website but they haven't listed the day and time for each act yet. I was just making a hopeful (!) guess. :lol:
