I plan on going to every, single show. Unless I hit the lottery, work, finances, and life in general will surely interfere with this plan, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it! 8)

(I got three completely unplanned shows this year, so I intend to stay flexible. :D :D )

I plan on attending at least 1 show next year, maybe in Vegas. (However that depends on finances and real life as well :) )

Unless JB finds his way back to Pine Knob I'll be hard pressed to make a show. :-? I'm a Buffett loner in my circle of phriends and phamily. While my wife doesn't mind me flying solo to a local show, she's not hip to spending the $$$$ to check out road shows. I'm trying to put a bug in her ear about a Vegas outing but we're not gamblers so that's not much of an enticement either. A Florida run would appeal to her but the timing is always during my busy season at work so that puts the squash on that! :evil:

I love going to see JB, but lately I've been using some of that 2nd & 3rd show money and just taking a long weekend in the sunshine state.

parrot1 you should join us at a florida show. the last couple of years we have planned our trip to the sunshine state around the concert dates.

i hope the 2006 dates come out shortly. i need to look forward to a show this winter.

hoping to get to 3-5 shows. both great woods shows, definitely tampa and maybe ft. lauderdale ( tailgating there is pretty lame),perhaps philly/jersey & va.

jimmy, please get the winter dates out sooooon!

The Tampa area show sounds good, I think you just talked me into it, you must be in sales.

I'm hoping to hit both GW shows this year. 8) I'll be employing a new strategy... waiting until the week before for the last minute ticket release by TM. That method got me great seats for Fenway, and looks like the way to go if you want to be close to the stage. :o

Hopefully at least 3. But no more Vegas next year. I can't handle it! Too much dinero. I'll go see all my phriends at Fins to the West instead. Rather spend the money to see him where there is a real tailgate party and the beers are cheap!!! Definitly in Greatwoods. But after that .....

I will most likely go to the show in Sunrise (Florida). that is near Ft. Lauderdale and he almost always is there. It is near his home. It is also close to the new Cheeseburger in Paradise that is in Plantation Florida. Sure sounds like a good side trip. The sunrise concert is just so good because it is the closest to Key West, Sawgrass Mills, and not too far from Ft. Myers Beach and Sanibel island. Sure sounds like a good four day weekend.

Now this is a record I can relate to.

In 2000, I made my record....13.

From the Millenium show, to all the west coast shows, to Vegas, and of course Great Woods, these 13 were great (well Indy was a bit off, in a corn field). I flew from city to city, rented large SUV's, and went nuts on each stop.

Hats off to you! Not many people break 10 in a year!

This year, well, I am slowing down a bit...planning on around 7 or so.
