Welcome to Irvine!
Jimmy has not played for three years in Irvine, but if the past is any indication, you are in for one of the best times you can have at a Buffett show.
The venue is now saying the parking lot does not open until 3 pm. Do not believe it. Parrotheads start arriving at 11 am like my group. They phlock either across from the venue on the streets where the office parks are located, or at the Irvine Spectrum Mall across the 5 Freeway. Partying commences on the streets, and the streets are well patrolled by Irvine PD. Careful with the alcohol. The PD pushes the venue to open the gates when too many people are on the streets, effectively opening around Noon - 1 PM based on hoa many people are on the streets based on my personal history.
Once inside...well let's just say nothing compares to Irvine except Great Woods (Tweeter) in Boston. The crowd is nuts, tailagting is roaring. We are bringing our Margaritaville tour bus, major sound system, and all the decorations. This will be nothing compared to how some Parrotheads do it up.
Enjoy & FINS UP!!
Careful leaving...make sure whoever is driving is sober.
