I Love This "When will Jimmy announce..." Time of

Post by MargaritaMatt »

I love this time of year when everyone is guessing on when Jimmy will be where. And announcing dates that will be announced and everyone wondering when they will be official. Just reminds me that spring isn’t to far away and helps the winter go a little faster. Also, when did they release the summer tour dates the last two years? If I remember correctly, last year was all screwed up with the way they announced things, so when was it the year before?

Hmmm lemme see. I know the Denver show in 2004 was announced in February. Tix went on sale the first or second week of April. Concert was May 18th. That gave me about 7 weeks to plan my wedding.

The year before that the Denver show was April 24th. I think the concert was also announced sometime in Feb or March as I gave the tix to hubby for his B-day on April 2.

Usually if you keep your ear to the pavement, you can get the inside info a few days before the big announcement. I remember last year I only had a few weeks to prepare myself. Columbia is usually at the beginning of the tour, so it hits me pretty fast.

Is it winter? Oh ya, I guess it is. Kind of hard to remember that sometimes when it is 78 in Jan.

It is always fun to see all the people who know someone who lives with someone that books the shows in some city to get the latest gossip. Makes me start to ponder my own Kevin Bacon links to Jimmy.

Lets see....
Former program director at radio station I worked at links to
Regional reps of MCA/ BGM records links to
Jimmys manager links to
Jimmy. :roll:

Wow, I did it in less then six. Chances of contacting Jimmy or getting correct info happening? I would say , slim to none.

Think I'll just keep checkn the websites every five minutes of everyday.

So what are your six ways to Jimmy. If we can only figure this out we will have a direct source to the concert info! :wink: :pirate: :roll:

My six ways to Jimmy:

Was his limousine driver in the early '80's in Seattle (have a couple fun stories)
Quit the limousines but would still go back stage during his shows while I was still living in Seattle (Connections), shook his hand a couple times.
By now I was a pilot...and he's a pilot! **Connection!!**
Met Tina, once briefly, in the '90's. Fell in love and decided she was going to be my girlfriend.
Shortly realized that would never happen, she very quickly became my former future girlfriend. I wonder if she knows???
Wow! I made it in five, but, unlike Quint, I don't think I even have a slim chance of connecting to Jimmy OR Tina. Sorry pholks, I guess it will not be me getting us a direct connection to Jimmy! I tried...
