I agree that the atmosphere is not keet friendly, but unless the show is labeled 18+ or 21+, it is an all-ages event.
I also recall Jimmy saying something at more than one concert about how "good it is to see people bringing their kids" to the shows. So, apparently, the host gave approval, my kids are welcome at his party. And no, the one time I brought my son - we did not hang out in the parking lot before or after. I'm not an idiot, but I don't expect people to spark joints next to him INSIDE THE VENUE, either.

Of course it's going to cause a stir, jackass. In my opinion, I have more of a right to bring my kids to public places and events than you do to smoke illegal drugs in them.

There's no reason to call people names. Yes you do have the right to take you kids to public places but knowing you I also assume that you go with the full realization of what people do at concerts. My son started going to concerts with me when he was 4. It's all how you, as the parent, handle it. Parents shouldn't expect people at concerts to not do what they do because they took their kids.
I agree. I know what to expect when I take him to a show. Exactly the reason he's not going with me to Ozzfest. Not a "friendly" crowd. I just really do not like being told that pot smoking is preferred over kids.

If I was the herb smoking type, I couldn't imagine lighting up sitting next to a kid, no matter where I was... but I would probably be a little pi$$ed that I was stuck sitting next to him for that reason, but hey, I'd go somewhere to take a hit, and come back and make the kid laugh, I suppose... :P :wink:

Why should it be expected? Parrotheads are just like any other group in that you can't generalize without offending some or most of them. None of the things that make us parrotheads apply to all of us, I know people who call themselves parrotheads that don't even like Buffett.

hell if you lit one up next to my keet he'd ask you if his mom could have a hit. Keet likes it when mom has a buzz (be it alcohol or pot) - he gets more out of me then.

My keet will be 18 in Oct.

Well, I'd use more discretion with a keet who looks like a keet, and might make the mistake (???) of asking a 17/18 year old "keet" if he wanted some! Kids these days look much older than they really are!

people think my son is in his 20's. If you were sitting next to him and passed it he would either decline or take it and pass it to me and tell me to enjoy

If he's cute, please leave him at home until he's old enough for the drunk chicks to legally molest him. :lol:

since he was 4 he's always liked older women. Besides he feels it's his duty to watch over me all the time and especially at concerts :lol: :lol:

Thanks!!! He's really a great kid. Some of the BN'ers have met him and say the same thing.

Then there are those of us that are Buffett fans that also aren't necessarily parrotheads..
