Have any of you fellow Parrotheads our there ever spotted any celeb's at any JB Concerts? The Speedo Man is always seated with the weirdiest stars at any Bubba concert that the Prince Of Bluberness attends. Like last concert at Blossom for example seated in the same row with the Speedo Man was Gary Coleman, Vanila Ice, Jar Jar Binks, Mr T, Bob Saget, Grampa Munster, and Britney Spears. It was really strange being seated with all of those freaks, the Speedo Man was the only normal one there. It is almost like they had a desiganted row for the weirdo's , thank goodness the Speedo Man was the only sane person there.

Speedo Bob, you are starting to worry me my friend. Vanila Ice, Jar Jar Binks, Mr T, Bob Saget, Grampa Munster, and Britney Spears, I can understand seeing all of these people at a Buffett concert. But who are you kidding....Gary Coleman

Now that is wierd.

I sat behind Johnny Bench at a Cincinatti show. It had to be late 80's because they were recording "Feeding Frenzy" that show. Bench had a very young, very beautiful girl with him. He gave me and my buddy a cigar! Seemed to be an all right guy.
Another year in Cincinatti, Don Johnson and Melaini Griffin came out on stage and sang with Jimmy!

And I forgot, when I moved up to an empty seat in the 5th row at the Dallas show Troy Aikman was in the front row.

True story... After the Chicago Bulls won one of their championships, John Paxson - then the player who had shot the winning 3 pointer to clinch the championship, today the Chicago Bulls GM - attended a Buffett concert at the Tweeter Center in Tinley Park.
I remember at the time Buffett saying that he was proud to have had a Parrot Head on that team.
Anyways, after leaving my friends on the lawn during intermission for a nature call. I stagger up to the urinal in the Men's room and who should come up to the one next to me but John Paxson.
I seem to remember returning to my friends in the lawn yelling rather excitedly "I JUST P*SSED NEXT TO JOHN PAXSON!!!!" over and over again. One of those You Had to Be There moments I guess.

LMFAO! My husband peed next to Peter Forsberg in Vegas at the Excalibur. He didn't ask for an autograph.

In a different climate he could have signed his name in the snow.
His wife

My guess would be that was Johnny Bench's wife. She was MUCH younger than him and gorgeous. A petite blonde. Very nice lookin'!!!

Actually little Gary is a huge Parrothead according to the Speedo Man. The funny thing is that every time the Prince Of Bluberness appraoches old GC it always goes some thing like this " Hey Gary give the Speedo Man a low five" " Watchya Talking about Blubber Boy" He definently uses that catch phrase as his clame to fame. The Speedo Man thanks his lucky stars that he is not so repetitve like the Coletrain.Well maybe the Speedo Man here is slightly repetitive, now that your Royal Manlyness thinks about it a litttle more maybe he does say Speedo a little bit to much, but that word just brings so much joy to old Bobby Boy. The Prince of Bluberness would not know where he would be in life thanks to the Power of Speedo's. Just thinking of there not being such thing as a Speedo bathing suit brings tears to the King of Commado eyes.

Tiki, I'd rather party with you than Gary Coleman and the whole Munster family! Especially that freaky old grandpa.
