Banners on Boston Herald Building

I had read somewhere that the Boston Herald put up huge banners last week, welcoming Parrotheads to Boston.

Does anyone have a pic of these banners? I searched the BH web site but found nothing.

Not sure when I will be downtown to view them.

Thanks.

I am in a similar boat....I am bringing two virgins with me to Jones Beach that mostly know SYKBH and nothing off LTC, except the songs I have played for them. Newbies to Buffett in the live would want to hear songs they may have heard in the past. I have yet to hear anything from LTC on the radio h...

Too much of LTC in the live sets or what?

I just checked some recent set lists and compared them to lists from earlier in the tour....and boy is Jimmy HAMMERING the new album. At last count, he is playing seven songs off LTC. I have seen Buffett every year since 1991 and have never seen him beat a new album to death like this. Now, I am all...

We plan to bring the 'keet along around noon and send him on his way with his grandmama around 4pm. Since we are new to Jones Beach and to avoid reading 9 pages of posts....who is meeting in which pa...

Has anyone contacted Axis/Avalon to get the full details...like 1. Can you go in and out of the clubs at will? If the day is nice, I wouldn't mind some fresh air, knowing I can get back in. 2. Will they limit the ticket sales, or will there potentially be a line to get in? 3. Will there be contests?...

Now this is why I posted this auction at BN!! A big THANK YOU to YuppiePH, Phishroon and any others that were not interested in bidding but went ahead and donated to NEHA anyway. I honestly did not expect such generosity from you BNers, although I not surprised at all. What a great group of people. ...

Three days to go....dancelikeafool still has the high bid at $400. I posted and crosslinked the auction to the hilt. I have done everything except to carve Daniel's face on Mt. Rushmore or tattoo it on a US Olympic Beach Volleyball bikini bottom. While $400 is a generous bid, we would love for someo...

Quick Update

Per the suggestions, I did post the auction on craigslist.com.

Still waiting to see more bids....are you going to let danceslikeafool get them so easily and cheaply?

The bidding stands at $400 USD for the pair.

We thank you for the posts and bids.

Now this is more like it. Lot of great posts....lots of great Parrotheads. I am fine with Fedex....I proposed the hand exchange simply because next Saturday is only one week out from the show and I did not want to cut it short on time for the winner or myself. Thanks so much dancelikeafool....and yo...

Did I miss something?

OK, so this post has been up over 12 hours and not one person has posted a bid, a comment or even something off-color. Do I spell it out that the result is that you get two tickets to see Buffett at Jones Beach? That the starting bid is FACE VALUE? I look at the Jones Beach section of the ticket exc...

What a great idea and an awesome job...

While you got the patterns hand and are sewing, any interest in selling
a couple?

My wife and I are going to Jones Beach and Fenway.

She would die to wear something so cool.

Let me know if you are interested.

Remember, I asked first.
