I'm going to Vegas and NOT seeing Jimmy

Post by chitownpirate »

I'm heading out to Vegas tomorrow afternoon for a bachelor party...which means I will have no control over what happens for the weekend. I've done my best to convince people to see Jimmy on Saturday, but I came up empty. This hurts me deep down inside, but I know I can sneak away for awhile.
My question is this: is there any sort of pre-party during the day that is popular, besides Margaritaville? I wouldn't imaging there being tailgating, but haven't been told otherwise.
Any help you could give would help out a fellow parrothead!
Thanks! :pirate:

If you have time, you may want to wade through this to see if you come up with anything:

I just wish I could join you!

Speaking of which, it just occurred to me that I spoke to your sister on the phone after Wrigley, and she mentioned a housewarming party that she wanted me to attend... did I miss it?

Are you crazy??? Load your friends up with a few shots and tell them you have to use the restroom. They will never know you were gone for a few hours! If they do, tell them you couldn't find the restrooms and got lost! :wench: :lol:

A housewarming party? She hasn't had one yet, but I'll let you know...for some reason, my memory is a little spotty after Sunday at Wrigley!

The preparty will have to do, unless I slip everyone some rufies...hmmm, I'm sure there's plenty of that in Vegas. I'll see what I can do!
Just kidding...I went to both shows at Wrigley, so I got a taste this summer...Vegas would be number 21 for me...you guys are definitely inspiring me!
Anyway, I'm signing off and heading to O'hare right now!
Thanks parrotheads!

:lol: Mine too! I can't believe that popped in my head! I'm still working on the name... is it Kristi?

And by the way, when I went last year, there was a street party full of parrotheads all day, in the alley right next to Margaritaville - may be a good place to try to happen by! (The MGM thing was about a 15 minute walk from the entering the casino door, back to the party locale.)

if your going to a batchelor party, umm, send your friends a stripper and get your A$$ over to the MGM. Trust me they won't miss you until they realize the next morning what happened to you ....then think of the "STORIES YOU COULD TELL"

Chitown, if you decide not to go see Jimmy it'll be your own d@mn fault! :roll: :wink: :D

Of course what could end up happening is they'll have such a blast at the preparty that they'll want to go to the show...and then you'll have to find those tickets!! :D

I think I can understand the bachelor party not wanting to go to a concert, but if you start with coconut bra's, you will probably get someone's attention. Tell them there is usually nudity at the show, which is not a lie. I would also mention tequila and see where that leads too. Good luck.

Screw the bachelor party. You're going to be in Las Vegas the same weekend as Vegoose and you're not going?
