There's a lot of Vegas virgins runnin' the threads lately- thought we might need to bring this one back to the front page again.
I can hear "IT'S VEEGAAASSS BAAABBYYY!!!!" squealing through the fiber optic lines!

PHins uP!

If you ever want to get transported back in time check out that video Jimmy made called "Tales from Margaritavision". It has a great piece of Jimmy actually singing "Nautical Wheelers" in a bar in Key West back in '73 or '74. He put the clip on the video because he felt it truly ...

more travelogue..... I can't emphasize enough that you must, must, MUST get out of Waikiki if you want to see Oahu. You gotta drive the windward side and see that scenery. Waikiki is okay, and the beach is nice, but it's tourist central. If you wanna see Hawaii, get out of Waikiki. Flip-flops are c...

Definitely a bold, fresh stroke of the brush! I wouldn't say the best ever but pretty damn good. As I was listening to it on RM I must say I could definetely hear a rejuvenated Jimmy- seemed to be loving the ride.. I'd hoped for Cowboy in the Jungle, Migration, Frenchman for the Night, etc... but th...

If someone could give the hotel a heads-up they might block out an area for parrothead activities. The ph.# is 1-800-356-8264 and the website is http://www.kaimana.com. (The website has a great virtual tour of the beachside bar). That's a great idea! My fear though would be that since it appears th...

Hey guys Unfortunately I won't be making the Waikiki Shell show (going to Vegas). But I'm originally from Hawaii and have a few suggestions.... Looks like you're not going to get the usual tailgating frenzy that comes with Buffett shows. It'd be great though if someone could get one of the hotels th...

I'd really like to hear "Chanson Pour Les Petits Enfants"

It is truly a classic that he hasn't done for awhile.
It think he should start the second half with it- like he did with "Jolly Mon" last tour.

Hey kiddies, what are the chance of the boss man rolling in to play with his boys at LMS!?!??! How cool would that be!?!? I mean c'mon, he's gotta do something on Fri night. :) All I know is on the Friday before the Oct. 16th show last year he was hanging upstairs at Margaritaville most of the nigh...

We might want to make a note to Vegas newbies... Tommy Rockers (where LMS will take place) is not on the Strip- it's on the other side of the freeway in a kind of business/industrial area...but well worth the effort ! Sharing a cab is probably the best way to get there (about 5-10 min. from the Flam...

Hope for.....
Barometer Soup ( as opener)
Frenchmen for the Night
Cultural Infidel
Lage Nom Ai

Predict.....
Migration
Cowboy in the Jungle
Take Another Road

Now that's BIG!
Great news, thanks Deano-
See you there!

When I go back to Hawaii to see family it's common for us to sit around the backyard under mango trees and play Hawaiian music with ukuleles & guitars, drink lots of beer, eat pupus (food) and "talk story" all night- and I mean ALL night!! In Hawaii that's real time- real life. So for ...

some other Vegas tid-bits, especially for us "50-something" old fart parrotheads... - Best Gellato......................... Cafe Gellato in the Bellagio - Best "Wander-around-a-Garden" thing...The Atrium ( Bellagio, again) - Best transportation deal.......The Public transit bus (...

Neither do I, but I got airline confirmation for a trip in March.

My company did a public event with the travel industry and I did a rough little survey from the stage and out of the 2000 people there about 20 had strong PH leanings.

So roughly 1 out of 100 in that group.

OK- Hold the presses!!! I grew up in Hawaii and take my kids back to visit family there every couple years- It's awesome, it's laid back, it's paradise- it's all that and a bag of chips... and everyone should go! But I'm tellin' you straight up- I've seen Jimmy a ton of times and there's no better ...

I'm sorry..I meant SEE Jimmy- not wee Jimmy. Yikes!
