I would love that, but responsibilities (wife, job, 2 kids, 2 dogs, mortgage etc).... are infringing on my Buffett rights. God, I have turned into "that guy" [smilie=blush.gif] [smilie=blush.gif] 25 years ago when I started my own business and I was working 90 hrs. a week I remember askin...

Jimmy played Vegas in April in 2005, I remember because the date of the show was my sister's birthday. He also did 2 shows in Vegas over Memorial Day weekend in, I think, 2003. And if you go back a few years he played Vegas April 15, 2000, my birthday. The second Vegas show iin 2000 was in Septembe...

"Happily Ever After (Now & Then) would be my first vote for sure...but actually "Come Monday" is also a great slow dance. It's not my favorite Buffett song but could work in this situation.

Another great honeymoon song (besides WDWGDAS) is "Frenchman for the Night". 8)

If this is going to be about ticket prices- bottom line, then so be it.. It's common knowledge- musicians do not make their money (money meaning a PROFIT) on the actual concert- they make it hopefully on the CD, DVD, residual merchandising, etc.. They hope the concert creates a buzz or momentum in t...

I was hoping this wouldn't evolve into an us against them thing - because it really isn't. We're Parrotheads-the peaceful party people! The ticket prices unfortunately are venue driven a lot of the times- if you're in Vegas plan on at least $150+ but if you check out the upcoming Orlando show they s...

Could 2007 be a big touring year for JB?

The last few years we've seen Jimmy cutting back on tour dates... Understandable reasons...New album , more family time, new Margaritaville openings to attend and such. But could it be that 2007 is the year for a "perfect storm" where he decides to treat us to bit of the old days and tour ...

I haven't been to a Vegas JB show since '03, but from the previous pre-parties at the MGM, people had brought in their own drinks. For those of you have done it recently, is this still the case? Heck, if I can fill up a 64oz big gulp in my room of a tasty beverage and take it to either the street f...

UPDATE on the MGM Pool Party

I swear- getting information from the MGM Grand on this pool party every year is like pulling teeth. But yes- as always- the pool party is confirmed. I had to go to my production staff source (thanks Chris) They had a meeting over the weekend and this is the buzz.. The party will be starting a littl...

Here is a quick tip for those staying at the Flamingo (or it could work for any hotel). If you booked directly with the hotel, check your rates with what the hotel is offering right now. My initial rate for Sunday night when I booked the Flamingo over the summer was $125. Since then it has gone dow...

The Margaritaville Street Party is "official" for the 28th (and the 21st as well)- I'm guessing from 11am-6pm... I'm pretty sure Tommy Rocker and his band will prevail as usual. The ever-neurotic, hand-wringing MGM management team has yet to announce the Pool Party...but it WILL happen (a...
