Re: How Many More JB Concerts Will You Attend?

like most people have said, a lot of the lure is the tailgate and getting back in touch with folks I don't see other than at Buffett concerts. I have been playing this Parrothead game since 1987 (maybe I have paid for one of his boats like my husband says...), but now it is much than just the concer...

Re: Average Age of Parrotheads on BN

I'm officially to the point where I need to count to remember exactly how old I am... I am, let's see: 2011-1966= 45. I'm 45 :) (you can tell my kids aren't here with me right now because they will announce to anyone how old I am, even if they don't care or aren't paying any attention. Sophie will t...

Re: Who's going to Detroit July 21st?!

oh, and if anyone is in the Flint area, tomorrow night Air Margaritaville is putting on a free concert in Grand Blanc at Physician's Park. I think it starts at 7 and is family-friendly. We will be there with the keets, even though Sophie isn't sure she wants to go. She doesn't want to get on an airp...

Re: $30 Ace Hardware/M'ville Chairs I painted for fun

Our local ACE also has the ottoman that goes with them for something like $10. I should just go get a set then commission some great high school artists to paint them for me. :)

I don't have an ophical name tag but do have one of the green lanyards that took lots of island time to get here (that's why it is so special!) But we will have our Finland flag flying and hope to make the park n ride before everyone heads in (last year we ended up across the road but ventured over ...

Re: How do you navigate BN?

I check out the JB discussion topics then hit the social area then the "who's going to" area. Then if I'm bored I may check out other areas but I feel like I'm lurking so I usually don't stay long :)

Re: Anybody hear Buffett discussion on Howard Stern?

the power of editing, I guess. I never considered myself a conservative blue collar person and most of the people I hang out with concerts I wouldn't consider to be in that category, either. I didn't give the clip more than 2 minutes before I couldn't listen anymore. But then again, if asked to sing...

Re: Who's going to Detroit July 21st?!

that will be nice if they open the lot at noon. Although it is fun pushing open the gates when 1-75 gets backed up :) They get a bit testy when a bunch of RVs decked out in fins start holding up traffic. Oh, and as for the park n ride it's fun to get there early and watch the commuters in their suit...

I thought about taking mine to the meet and greet if there is one in Detroit and doing the same thing :) Since yours looks so cool, I think I may just consider doing that .... :) Conga-rats, BTW, that looks amazing!

getting the liver in shape for July 21st. Just curious since I'm feeling old ("nostalgic" is the term we use nowadays I'm told...) when was your first trip to see Jimmy at Pine Knob? Mine was 1987.... Not sure that the park n ride was worried about us taking up spaces back then :) Today is...

Re: Official A1A Sign source?

Exactly!! I thought about the Mile 0 sign when I was in KW, but every time I got close, there was always some law enforcement close by so I didn't even go have a look. Anyone look to see if that one particular sign has any "extra" fastening devices? Gotta think it does or it would go AWOL...
