% of Population that are Parrotheads?

What percentage of the population do you think are parrotheads? ( Real parrotheads- not part-timers) I'm thinking about 1 in 10. It never ceases to amaze me how in any given circumstance when I mention my PH leanings in a group how another Bubba fan (or two) is usually always there> eyes wide open, ...

For an equally awesome view without as much flash, check out the Vodoo Lounge on the 51st floor of the Rio. Vodoo is a nice place and although you'll pay prices similar to Ghostbar for libations, the crowd is a bit older and so is the music. You can expect to hear a bit of Motown, 70s and 80s, as w...

De-bauchery, De-parties and some other VEGAS de-lights!

UPDATE NOTE: This Vegas thread first showed up back in January 2005- it seemed to be something a lot of people (especially newbies to Vegas ) got a kick out of. Everyone comes away from Vegas with at least one special memory/experience they'd like to share- besides the obvious Buffett experience . ...

This onsale is going very strange.......but there are a lot of good seats still unsold.....persistence may definitely pay for this show. I tend to agree with you Dean- persistence and patience will be key on this one. For most past concerts we've done the Sat./10AM drill and been pretty lucky- but ...
