I wish I could say no, but I dare not tell a lie. I'm with everyone else. During the preparty, its so easy to throw a few too many back when bullshatting with your friends so I find myself a little too woozy by the time the show starts. I always promise myself it won't happen this time, but often it does. This is not just exclusive to Jim unfortunately. Done it for Sammy Hagar, Mellencamp, and others. I figure when you go to as many concerts as most of us do, the number we don't remember is far less than the number we do remember, so the percentage of the whole is not that significant. I've always said that if you don't remember a night, then you are assured that you had a great time. However, I'm definitely not drinking for the David Gray show and the next Sammy show and for the Phish show, and for the Cincy Buffett show. Hah.

Well, as I recall the last few years at Great Woods, the ladies did not have too much trouble dropping-trow and squatting in the woods.

So, if your skirt is really that short, you should not have a problem...unless you are really modest. <g>

B.

Okay - I admit I did it once at a chicago show 2 yrs ago. I thought I was like way off in the woods squatting, but I later realized I was just near one of the few trees near one of the margarita stands or something. It's not that I feel like I'm so modest - just a little old to be doing that kind of stuff which was common in college!

Anyway, I just couldn't bear to miss OPH in the bathroom line...

Ok, picture it: Cincy 2000, my phriendly neighbors share their Cherry Bombs that they started making the previous summer, needless to say those suckers were strong! So I'm at the concert, I go to the bathroom with a friend, was unable to find our group afterwards (even though they never moved from our spot on the lawn), feel like I missed the whole concert standing in line for the portapotties, so decide I'm just going to leave. Well then I decide there's no way I'm walking alllllll the way around that horse track (River Downs) between the concert and the car, so I decide to go through the track instead!!

Needless to say I got a flashlight shined in my face and threats of getting the Sheriff!! It's a semi-true story, believe it or not...

I've been to 2 JB shows relatively sober, and I find that they are almost as hard to remember the whole concert as the drunken ones are. I think its just that after thirty-some shows, they do blend together. Its like trying to remember all the details from a time you listened to margaritaville in your house after youve heard it a zillion times. anyway, I tried to pace myself for the Detroit show this year. My friend and I drank to many on the hour and a half buss ride up there. When we got there, we were feeling quite drunk and dehydrated, so we limited ourselves to one beer per hour until concert time, which we did do, but we let loose after getting in the gates. I have more balancing problems than memory problems when I get that way, and I usually take a few falls. Well at Detroit, I think I only fell once, but it was a bad one. I was asscending the lawn and tripped on something and spilled about 3 beers and 2 tubs of popcorn. "Sorry about that" I mutter. "You gonna replace those beers you just spilled" the angry man replies. Well I was pretty broke so I just walked away feeling guilty. It wasnt until about 20 minutes later that I noticed the stage was looking extra blurry. "&#@* I yelled, I musta knocked my glasses off during that fall". I went back after the show, found all the popcorn, but no glasses. I guess that's Karma. I try really hard to not be one of those stupid drunks we all read about on here, I just need to work on my balance. I've never vommitted at a concert, so I guess that's good

. But I do feel bad when I knock stuff over. Of course, not as bad as when I stepped on someones head that was trying to sleep on the lawn in Atlanta

Anyway, if the owner of the beers and popcorn is reading this, I apologize, and did you find my glasses?

Nissan 1996, I'm dancing away in the pavillion and according to my brother "looked like a bolt of lightning hit me". Down I went, hard and fast. Popped right up and kept on dancing. Oh , and I didn't spill my beer.

Gosh, people need to understand that there's always the potential of spillage at a Buffett concert.

And who the heck would be trying to sleep on the lawn!

Totally opening up to the risk of getting stepped on; it's dangerous!

Burny- I'm so with you on the balance thing! I've never puked (outside of an appropriate container) either, but I have a serious balance problem on that damn lawn.

I have to admit, many of my memories of Buffett shows are blurred because of extreme intoxication. I almost see it as a good thing though because I know there are a lot of things about my drunken behavior that I don't want to remember! Plus, it makes you more excited for the next show, thinking you are going to handle yourself better the next time. (Which I have been doing better since I bottomed out in Chicago a couple years ago)

Starting with my first show, where the first thing I did was go to the porta-potty to barf, to one year in Cincy when we ended up driving around Kentucky after the show because of my drunken navigational skills, to one year in Chicago when I almost got kicked out twice because of my balance issues on the lawn, to Alpine this year when I evidently fell before the show because I had the biggest bruise to prove it.......we are always gonna drink and we are always gonna do stupid things, but the good thing about the land of Margaritaville and Parrotheadism is that hopefully most everything is forgiven!!!

Ok...

I drank too much at the Orlando Show last year... but it was for medicinal purposes... I broke a couple of ribs when I fell down a flight of stairs up in the nose bleed section... thank god for railings - or I would've had a floor seat! Every breath I took was painfull for about three venue margaritas, then I switched to quart sized beers and magically - the pain disappeared. Course I was reduced to speaking only single sylable words and had to rely on Mrs. Sak to pull me out of traffic.. but hey - GREAT CONCERT!

And... I guess somewhere between 1972 and last year, I managed to kill off the brain cells that were responsible for remembering the Gainsville (UF) concert that I'm pretty sure I attended... it's all kind a fuzzy - like looking though your sock while driving at night

that kind of fuzzy....
Now...

where did I leave my wallet?

What? I saw two buffett shows on 4th of july weekend? I thought Jimmy was in my back yard and invited 40000 people.

12vmanRick · Post by **12vmanRick** » July 16, 2003 3:43 pm

If Jimmy does two shows here we always go to both. That way between the drunken stupor the hope is to put the two shows we remember together and have the memory of at least one show.

Every year, I go to at least 2 shows and I make it a point to be stay fairly sober for one so I can remember it and then I'll party like crazy for the other one. Well, this year, my plan failed horribly....got way too drunk tailgating (with my parents, no less) at Merriweather and ended up not remembering the majority of the show. I also apparently "disappeared" for 90% of the show (according to my sisters who I was with on the lawn)...no idea where I was or who I was with...but I'm sure I had fun. Then Saturday was Nissan, and I planned to pace myself so I would remember that show...well, needless to say, that didnt happen. So what do I do? Get back to Orlando the following Monday and book a flight to the Saturday show in Chicago. Wish me luck with that show!
