Yep, it is. Prices start at $21k according to the two phone calls I got last week.

Another show in Jacksonville would be nice. I'd try not to get a speeding ticket on the way there this time. I was there for a show a couple years ago on my birthday. This year it falls on a Friday, so the day before or after would be fine with me. If I have to turn 40, it might as well be with Jim...

On the first listen to some of the songs, I wasn't all that impressed with a lot of them. Karaoke is what it is, but the version on the CD suffers from the same thing that lot of his studio work has over the years, a lack of energy. I can't think of many songs that I would prefer to hear the studio ...

How'd it go yesterday in regard to what time they opened the lots, did they allow tents/canopies, etc? Trying to see if I should go back next year after skipping the past two. The parking situation there is a disaster. They tried to put me in the parking garage and told me that the lots were full. ...

I usually go to Aruba a couple times a year, fantastic place for vacations and honeymoons. Your time frame is right at the end of the high season and you could probably get a decent deal. The Marriott, Radisson and new Ritz are all good options in the high rise area. For a "no kids" experi...

It was only 95 or so last year, but the humidity was at least 95% too.

I'll be shooting for a noon arrival, hopefully I can still get somewhere fairly close.

It's funny, Jimmy is seen by so many fans as not making the same music that he made 40 years ago, while the general public thinks he's a caricature of himself still doing the same thing and hasn't evolved a bit over that time. For all the things he has done well, changing the perception of the gener...

I've heard various rumors about the parking lot opening times. If anyone has more/confirmed info, that would be great. We had good seats last year, but great seats this year. Can't wait, this is Camden show #3 for me.

I did Vegas (and three others) last year and it was different, not better, just different.

I already have some vacation time scheduled around the 19th.

I got there early enough to be somewhat near the venue last year, much better than being a couple blocks away in a small, dark parking lot. Hoping to make it again this year.

Looking forward to going back this year. My in-laws live about ten minutes from the facility, makes for a nice, short post-show drive.

"I'll jump start you if you will kick start me" Maybe in French and a nice flowing script.


If you want something a bit less humorous.

Makes me feel like dancin' dancin'
