Is missing Jimmy the end of the world?

[moeron]

With Jimmy not playing Alpine Valley or Tweeter in Chgo, is the world going to end? I will be there a Wrigley Field working (buy a beer from Me) Life will go on. Me, My Wife and phriends have always had a blast wherever we saw Jimmy. Come on, there is RM, a couple of cold ones, and a backyard. Am I right?

He didn't play Great Woods last year and the world didn't end, so I think we're safe...

But you know, Alpine is Jimmy's favorite venue.

Alpine is one of MY favorite venues. But I just don't see the world ending anytime soon. Wrigley Field is definately not my first choice (for a concert), but with Jimmy I'll take what I can get.
And yes, we have other fun parrothead events going on all summer, TWO fantastic bands are coming to the Cedar Rapids area-Stars On the Water in May, and Johnny Russell and the Beach Bum Band on July 16. And, of course, there's always R.M., my C.D. players my patio, back yard, coolers, and...............well, you get the idea.
When you get to be as old as I am (and if you're lucky, you WILL) you MAKE life be fun.

To me it's just disappointing.

Only the obsessive have called it "Jimmy's favorite venue". Only the obsessive have called it "a shrine" or hinted that "Jimmy should just retire if he won't play Alpine". There is something wrong with those people.

It's disappointing for me, because we spend so much time planning for the Alpine shows year round, and when it doesn't happen, it turns out to be wasted energy. I can go to Wrigley, but the tailgate party won't be happening. I can go to Indy, but the things my group does won't travel well, especially because we do it as a group, and if Craig or Amie or Charlie can't come, a big chunk of what we do is missing!!!

But seeing Jimmy is special anywhere. And in the end, it's really about the show. I love seeing my PH friends, and there are some that I only get to see at the Alpine show. But in the end, if I get to see Jimmy Buffett, it's been a good day.

[Wino you know]

Agreed, Captian.
It would be FANTASTIC to see Jimmy at Alpine, as it always is, but if not, we'll find our own fun, be it Indy, Wrigley, or in Bendover, Iowa.
It's disappointing, but if we get to see him anywhere, it's going to be great.

I'm obsessive, but I haven't said those things, and there is something wrong with me, but I digress.

No, it's not the end of the world, just a minor stumbling block, only not induced by alcohol.

Life will indeed continue, and it will be good.

And I thought Pepsi Center was Jimmy's favorite venue...

Duh!!!!

I think we'll all live!
You don't hear those of us a Mile High in Denver bitching... much.
I will also be spending a lot of time in own little backyard "Margaritaville," a beer in my hand and my toes in the sand.

[INKED PARROTHEAD]

Sad to say but sooner or later we will all be left to deal with Jimmy not playing our hometown or favorite venue,but he will always play in the hearts of Parrottheads everywhere so the party gos on!!

I don't give a crap that he's not playing Alpine. But if Heather wasn't in the band? Now THAT'S the end of the world.
