I ask the guy at the counter for sand.

Guy: What kind? Play Sand or Baby Sand?

Me: The cheapest.

Guy: Are you sandblasting?

Me: Nope, Buffett concert tomorrow.

Guy: .............Oh.

Me: You wouldn't understand.

Ahh...another unfortunate side affect of not being a Parrothead.

Just like my experience when, for the third time, I had to borrow the ID Tag hole punch at work and the guy asked why I needed it so much - I explained but he didn't really get it

I have pre-punched 100 laminate pouches now so hopefully I don't have to borrow it again for some time.

Great story IceFins! I can't tell you how many times I've gotten that same "Oh

" when I've told them I was going to a Buffett show...

I mean who doesn't go to the store to buy 30 leis, an inflatable parrot, some squirt guns, temporary parrot tattoos, sombreros, and pinatas every once in a while???????

@ 7Lords!!! Once again, YOU RULE!!!

I've wondered about that before - besides Buffett fans, who actually buys all that stuff?

No kiddin'! If Buffett ever stops touring, those places will go out of business

I got much the same type of look when I said there was no way I could work this weekend (doing a computer upgrade - and I do the support for a lot of that). They wanted to know if I was in a wedding or something (not just attending). The look on their faces when I said I had to attend a Buffett concert on Thu and Sat was priceless. Mainframe upgrade put off until the next weekend.

My parents have never been to a buffet show, they only know a few of his songs and know of the whole Buffett tailgating scene from what I tell them

. So when I talked to my Mom last week she said they had 4 bags of beach sand for me to bring to Buffett, I was stunned as I never asked them for it nor did I ever mention I needed sand

she said from everything you have told us about it I figure you could find good use of it

Yes I will!!!!

Everybody does that!

The party store I went to really didnt understand why I needed 8 leis, 12 strings of beads, a hula skirt, shoulder parrot, pirate hat, and a tiki candle(well, that just looked kewl) just for a Buffett concert. (and netiher did my parents

)...The world must not understand.

You should have seen the looks we got in 2001 heading to the NYC show at MSG, we partied at a bar all day then took the subway to MSG dress in all our Buffett gear, the looks we got were priceless!
