Given my user name, I would be remiss if I did not suggest "The Curse of Lono" by Hunter Thompson. It is out of print, but there are always one or two on ebay for sale. In the alternative, I would be happy to loan you one of mine. The art work by Ralph Steadman is extraordinary (see below).

I am going to Key West over July 4th. Has anyone used any of the local dive operators to go scuba diving? I plan on diving at least one day, but there are several operators. I would also like to go out on a sail boat. Any help would be appreciated.

Well, it's alot more humane than beating a live one.

Restaurant At The End of the Universe anyone?

Wow. I thought I was the only Douglas Adams fan on this site. Nice quote.

Just saw Neil and the boys last week in Columbus. Won VIP tix at work and was in the center of the center section about 15 rows back. What an amazing show. Being a wanna-be "professor of the drum kit", Neil has always been one of my idols and his style has influenced me greatly. Rush is a...

For me it's Migration. I never really noticed it the first time around. Now its one of my favorites. Someone posted a Story of BN a while back about JB showing up at his restaurant in Las Vegas and actually taking requests. I think this is the song I would request.

Hardcore! I now have almost all the old (read: bastardized by MCA) albums....most notibly, yesterday, my special ordered copy of AWSCAAPC and I have to say, WHY OH WHY did I wait so long to order this album!! It's great! Jimmy sounds REALLY young though, it's a trip! Anyway, now I need to get some ...

I've been dying for a full concert since "Live By The Bay". :) For those of us that do not know, can someone tell me what concert video already exists. I have MiniMatinee 1. Is there more available and where can I get it? thanks. :o Live By the Bay is it unless you include the snippets of...

I'm really dissapointed w/ the set list. JB was the strongest performer by far...but I'm not too thrilled that he lowered himself to the "Songs You Know By Heart" crowd. It was like Buffett 101. I don't think a show where the average fan paid $100 for a ticket was the right venue to s***-...

I am not sure if this has been posted yet, but since I agreed to do it, here goes: 1) During the Alan Jackson set, JB came out and sang on "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere". 2) During the George Strait set, JB came out and sang on "All my Exes Live in Texas". Jimmy Buffett set was as...

This shall be your mission, Lono, if you choose to accept it (she said in her best "Mission Impossible" voice) :wink: Can anyone else help? Not that I have any doubts about Lono's Secret Agent capabilities, but just in case. I am firm believer in "C.Y.A." :wink: I choose to acce...

Is there anybody who will be at the Jimmy/Alan/George show that will keep a set list for all of us here? I will try; however, there is a distinct possibility that a negligent waitress or friend will over-serve me prior to the concert. Do this mean I have to bring a pen and paper to the concert? :-?...

I flew to Hawaii in January to see Jimmy in Oahu. He was playing, in Hawaii, on my 40th birthday :D . Try to explain to your friends and family why you will be 3500 miles away on your 40th. Especially, as they pointed out, when "you've seen that guy several times in the last year." I tried...

You NEVER wake ANYONE up on midnight watch...unless you have already run into the freighter :o ....you try to change directions as quickly as possible WITHOUT waking anyone up (by the way throwing a boat all the way into reverse is a bad way to keep crew asleep, captain especially, but is the faste...

I always thought it was like tahoeparrothead's interpretation. He tried to get things straight with his girlfriend one last time from that phone booth in Catalina. It was the last phone booth before sailing off for 20? or 30? days across the Pacific. And it was way too noisy in that bar and the rel...

F&%$ whoever wrote that review. . . . has anyone here ever been to just a "fair" Buffett concert????? this guy must have some kinda problem or something. . .. maybe he's depressed and has no sense of fun, who knows, who cares Exactly. Either you get it or you don't. I can't imagine go...

I have alway understood that the song was about the South Pacific and that it is Avalon Australia. Why would they jump from Papeete Bay in Tahiti and the Marquesas in the south pacific and then to way over to Catalina Island on the other side of the Pacific? I agree, but if you take the verses in o...

I am glad you will be easy to spot. Do you think the parrotheads will go in to see Alan and George, or will everyone wait until Jimmy comes on? :o I know some people that aren't going to this. I think the ones that are going are looking forward to seeing Alan and George too. I know I am! Any word o...
