St. Somewhere:

Unfortunately, the Boston Public Library limits usage of the Books in Print database (reached through InfoTrac) to in-house computers. The next time I'm in the library, I'll hop on an Internet-capable machine and post the full citation.

All the best,

Deb.

While at the library last night, I took a chance and looked up Jimmy in the Books in Print database. According to the April 2002 update, Jimmy's new book is called "A Salty Piece of Land" and is due out in October 2002. However, it is NOT listed in Amazon.com, so I do not know how firm tha...

Brian, that is true. Dave Matthews and John Mellencamp(sp?) use TM venues. The difference is that they both issue mass quantities of tickets through their fan clubs. Big artists have the pull to dictate to Ticketmaster. It's a shame that Jimmy hasn't opted to do so.

BOR: I respect you highly, and have always enjoyed reading your posts. However, I *did* put quite a bit of energy into getting tickets. Even before tickets went onsale, I was working the phones and the net to confirm the Great Woods onsale date. Like many members of our online community, I posted an...

Well, I'm finally going to step on the soap box and shout it to the world - the Great Woods lottery was also rigged. I have information from a reliable source that one of the persons conducting the lottery was a known scalper. There were two "last minute" people who showed up and got lotte...

Hi all, I just got off the phone with a very nice lady named Melissa from Margaritaville. They still have not officially heard anything about the onsale. I let her know that Great Woods is saying that there is no onsale on their recording, and that TM is saying that they have no information on *thei...

BOR, I'm glad you've got some press contacts. I tell you this - if when we finally get tickets they sell out suspiciously fast (e.g. Atlanta, where 75% of the seats were already gone before onsale), I'm calling in the big guns - the AG, the BBB - and Hank Phillipi Ryan (for non-Bostonians, Hank is a...

Suze: With all due respect, I don't feel my message was nasty at all. I find nothing whatsoever wrong with expressing dissatisfaction in a calm, rational manner. I feel sorry for this woman, and I urge ParrotHeads who may contact her to be understanding. However, let's face facts - this situation is...

I was trolling over on the M-ville board and found the following email address: info@margaritaville.com. I just sent them my little note.

If you're upset at this fiasco, I suggest that you let the fine folks at Margaritaville know how you feel.

Deb.

Well, I finally got annoyed enough to send Margaritaville a note. I couldn't find an email address for them, so I *faxed* the following to them: To The Fine Folks at Margaritaville.com: PLEASE update your Web site with the on-sale date for the Great Woods shows. We here in Boston are hearing from ma...

What really p***es me off about this whole situation is the way Margaritaville.com has dropped the ball. We are hearing from so many sources that GW tix are NOT going on sale tomorrow, yet they still have the onsale listed as 3/16. This is ridiculous! We all know the show is a guaranteed sellout whe...

Hi all, My man and I are going out to Great Woods to wait for Buffett tix. I've never waited out there before, so I have a few questions: 1. Do they do a lottery system? If so, how does it work? If not, I just bought a tent and sleeping bags. :smile: 2. Do they sell tickets for Great Woods events on...

VH1 mentioned the shooting in their JumpStart scroll this morning. They started it by saying something like "It's not easy being a pretend pirate."

Deb.

BOR: I was discussing the Labor Day rumor with my SO this weekend. He thinks it's a possibility, but thinks it would be unlikely that they'd allow fans on the field. Rumor has it that the new stadium will have natural turf - and if that's so, my SO doesn't think the Patriots would appreciate having ...

BOR:

Thanks for the info. I notice that it's being called "Far Side of the World" again - although I wonder if Jimmy will rework the lyrics in light of 9/11.

All the best,

Deb.

According to CNN, they caught 7 of the b**tards and are looking for an eighth.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

Good one!

Deb.

What a shame. JB was talking about bringing the Hemisphere Dancer to Amazonia in "A Pirate Looks at 50". Sounds like if he does, he'll have to bring more than the pistol and deck sweeper. The Dancer was a rescue plane - I don't think she had any onboard firepower that JB can restore to her...

Pete: Many people already know to constantly check Ticketmaster for availability even after official on-sale, and the loyal board members always post when they find that additional tickets have been released. The annoying thing is that additional ticket releases are rarely, if ever publicized. Becau...

Hi all: I certainly have strong anti-scalper sentiment. I find it very hard to believe that Pete has never heard of scalpers using back routes into TicketBastard to get prime seats. It's one of the main routes scalpers use to get tickets. Don't believe me? Read the New York State Attorney General's ...
