I'm glad to know that I'm not the only person that has to plan what they will be drinking.

THANK GOODNESS!!!!

Unfortunately, that's what scares the missus. "You want to go spend a weekend with people you've never met, only talked to on-line?!?"

HEY

I thought she liked all of us now...

The ex-girlfriend was sweet enough to get a Hawaiian shirt for me the last time she was in HI, and a matching sun dress for the Chicago show last year. She had copies of the Atlanta show from last year, and a copy of the box set, and all the mp3s I had at the time....

She never really got it, but the shirt/skirt thing was sweet.
Well, the important thing is... How'd the skirt fit ya?

actually never got to see her wear it.. or any of the followup..

and the shirt is hanging in the closet, probably one of the few that will not make it into the rotation.

I figure the liquor portion will take care of itself... the wardrobe part takes the work.

Yeah, she pretty much just tolerates me and my obsessions....

Of course my significant other shares my Buffett obsession. As some of you may know, I met her on BN. I knew we had a lot in common way before we met. For those that don't know, she's FinsUpNorth. Sorry guys, she's taken!

My vote is for no way, thinks I am crazy. In reality it is a toss up between tolerates it and thinks I'm crazy.

This year is the first year I did not take my husband to Alpine. I actually had a better time than I have had in years!

Not really, but he indulges me and provides a phun ticket account, so he's a practically perfect parrothead spouse.

I am also sans an SO right now but my last serious girlfriend was a big Parrothead. I'd say about half the girls I've dated have at least appreciated Jimmy's music.

I voted for "She tolerates it....."and 1/2

......

She's prolly joined me in a dozen or so shows (couple of road trips to boot) so that's a lot a toleratin' (sp?)

But I can't say she's obsessed

Jane tolerates my obsession for myself most of the time. Other times, she thinks I'm crazy!!

HA! HA! MADE YOU LOOK!!
