Jimmy must have been into "brevity" - a short set list for $75

He also played "Coconut Telegraph" after "Stars."

JB's best line of the night: "This is a way more lively crowd than the one at Dennis Kozlowski's party!"

All attendees also got free food and drink for 4+ hours. I don't think anyone walked away feeling like they didn't get their money's worth. Besides, it all went to charity.

It was a great night. Jimmy was extremely relaxed and in very good spirits. He signed a lot of autographs.

Hope the guy who paid $5,200 at the auction felt it was worth it.....$866 per song plus free food and drinks........

[Billy Cruiser]

That's about what he did in Indianapolis when it opened. But $75 a ticket was definetly worth it to get the free food and drinks and a couple of autographs, and shake his hand and stand less than 5 feet from him while he sang 5 or 6 songs. Plus, you got to say "I was there when ..."

Yeah it was worth it. Also, the guy who paid that much probably got some extra perks. I know the guy who paid almost that much in Indy got a meet and greet, a couple of shirts, and a table at the front of the stage. If I had it to spend, I might pay that for all of that.

The actual set list should be:

Stars On The Water
Coconut Telegraph
Boat Drinks
Son of a Son of a Sailor
It's 5:00 Somewhere
Cheeseburger In Paradise

As for the people who spent $5,000.00, the fact that they had it to spend leads me to believe they weren't too concerned.

I traded in my Margarita for a hot chocolate, and my sandles in for my hiking boots, but still managed to feel like I was deep down south!! Would have loved to be inside, but I will never forget that experience....Thankyou Jimmy, You put the "B" in best Buffett!!!!

[brnlahaze]

I am sure the kids in the unit of the hosiptal are very thankful for the individual that spent that on the tickets that cost $5200. Also, an autographed acoustic guitar and a surfboard went for $5000 apeice as well.

I am glad this event raised as much money to help the hospital as it did, and people got to see Jimmy too!

I was at the show on November 3rd and I was wondering if anyone has any photos they can share with me. I saw a few people taking pictures and I left my camera in the car. Please let me know if you have any you can share.
Thanks
