Sorry hon, LIPH and I know someone who makes snide comments about Buffett every chance she gets who calls herself a parrothead- the theory being that she likes other parrotheads, the beach and the party. We're being mean.

And LIPH, the JGWG (Jolly green wearing giant, my boyfriend who's stationed in Bosnia with the Guard) is 6'5", I don't need a step ladder for 6'3". :P

Thank you. It's kind of crazy when you say it out loud, but I'm pretty thankful he's just in Bosnia.

I've never met him but we gotta make sure he stays safe. He has a hot babe to come home to.

Awww, you just like him because he encourages me to get drunk and flash the camera! But thank you guys.

Looks like you've got a hot babe of your own there, LIPH. :wink:

Since I've known you I don't think getting drunk was ever a prerequisite for flashing. :o

I love this thread!

I am a proud parent of a 5 month old keet and will be bringing her to a show near you as soon as her mother and I feel she is ready. But that is neither here nor there, what I want to say is, if she knows what you are doing (smoking weed) then I've done something wrong, not you. There is no way a young child (10 years and younger?) should be able to tell what is going on, and if they can that's the parents' fault.

Jahfin - didn't mean to leave you hanging earlier. In regards to my comment about quizing people and not letting BBBB and SYKBH be an answer. I didn't say that they had to own five albums, I would just ask them to name five albums. The guys got 25+ "records" out there, spanning over three decades, if someone can't name five of them then I do not think that they should be demanding that people sit down during a show.

I love Buffett, but I can't wait for the Dead at Red Rocks. This type of thing wouldn't, even possibly be a discussion.

Last year I smoked a joint with security!!!! 8)

Plus, You all are from around different parts of the country and I'm sure things can be different wherever you're from. I have to say again, I've been to lots and lots of Colorado concerts, and out here it is generally accepted as no big deal to smoke dope at rock n' roll shows.

IT IS A FREAKING CONCERT!!!!! If you choose to bring your keet, be careful who you sit next to.

If you are on the lawn, for goodness sakes, sit to the sides. I don't even sit in the middle without the realization that I am in the jungle. Would your keet feel better with the drunk, who was displaying no outward "illegalities", peeing on him/her (and flashing in the process)? Then trying to pick a fight with YOU for peeing on YOU? I doubt it. THAT is traumatizing for this 40+ year old (true story).

If you are in the seats, this is 0.034246575342465753424657534246575% of a whole year (3 hours out of 365 days). That makes roughly 0.00034% of their entire life (figured at 10 years old). Now, when you get home and turn on HBO, Showtime, or even Fox nowadays, they see that s*** all the time. The difference? Their parents are uptight about it at the show. Now, when I was young, what did I want most to do? What my parents were uptight about. Think about it.

So, the way I see it, those of you who are the most uptight are the ones most likely to come home in the next week smelling "rope" burning and seeing the neighborhood "badboy" running out the back door. But the ones who let it roll off their back, will see their keets raised in the most compassionate way.

Funny thing, the "do smoke" votes are closing in on the "do not smoke" votes.

Wow...this thread has exploded. As far as I'm concerned Green Gold is just as natural as tobacco and not near as bad for you. As I stated before the smell is much less offensive. I love to just sit back and watch these thing unfold...it's so much fun :pirate:

Thanks for taking the time to come back and explain. I guess I just don't understand the logic behind holding it against someone simply because they can't name 5 Buffett albums. Maybe it's easy to forget but everyone was a new fan at one time or another, I'm never seen it as a reason to discriminate against someone.

Ok. I voted to smoke, but here's the thing. I haven't smoked in quite a few years, not because I don't like it but because I just kind of gave it up. It was something to try in college. Now I have a job where I can't ever do it again. I have no objections to it even if the guy next to me at the show is smoking, good for him. Even if I could I don't know if I would ever again.

But to all of you that think that it dosen't belong at a show, come on. To each your own if you go to a Buffett show you should be old enough to make the decision on your own. If you don't like it don't do it. Sort of like if you dont like whats on tv or the radio change the channel don't b**** about it.

Aside from it being illegal, Oh, call me a stick in the mud if you like, but I think it is silly to do something that is against the law because the person doing it thinks it is not that big a deal.
If I fired up a cigar, I bet I would be tossed out and most people would be glad. I don't know why people ignore it because it is pot.
Don't give me the standard line, "Well it should be legal", because as we speak it is not.
