Just want to say that the show went on great. Jimmy did a lot of Cubs chatter and talked a lot about New Orleans. Everything went on as planned and no problems. Jimmy played from the bleachers in right field for his last encore which was special and he did alot of chicago video. I counted 27 songs I think. Everyone sang Take me out to the ballgame at around 8:30 to a video of Jimmy from a while ago. I was at about the 15-20th rows just off center. Sorry I yelled at so many of you about dancing in the isles. And thanks to the dude to gave me a parrot necklace. Hopefully tomorrow should be great as well.
To those of you who wanted to know about Merch....Almost everything is Jimmy Buffet At Wrigley and there are tons of styles. There are vendors all around the ballpark with different shirts and official ones at some stands.

Did they use metal detectors when you go in? Just wondering for camera-smuggling purposes

Well my plan was to do the same thing (minus the panties part)... I just didn't want that area setting off a metal detector

honestly . . .
unless you are in the first 10 rows . . your pics may not be worth the hassle of being caught . .
there are always lots of pictures posted from others . .would just hate to see your experience dampened by an over zealous security guard . .

no metal detectors, and they were not patting people down like they did after 9/11--I was pretty surprised about that!

I'll be off to the pre-party in a couple hours. A couple questions about last nights show.
What was the bathroom situation for those seated on the field? Did they have portables somewhere out there? What about the lines?
When it was still daylight, could you see the video on the screens?
Quite a concern with the 2 o'clock start today.

Portables are in left and right field and there are about 50 or so portables in the cubs players lot outside the stadium and a tunnel connects them to the stadium. Bathrooms didnt seem like to bad of a problem. We did not take cameras away from people who got them in, but expect to be yelled at by someone like me if you sneek it in and start snapping away. TV screens seemed fine during the day.
ALSO REMEMBER WRIGLEY HAS A NO SMOKING POLICY IN THE STANDS!!!!

I'm heading down to Wrigley today but I have to work until 1:30 (won't make it to Wrigley until 2:30 - 3:00) so I was hoping someone could tell me when Jimmy actually came on stage last night?? Did he start right at 6:00?
Thanks.

According to the setlist posting the National Anthem recorded by Jimmy in the past started at 6:15 and then there was Hot Hot Hot and then Jimmy started with Piece of Work at 6:21.
Are you sitting on G waiting on O!
