I have been a Buffet fan for many years and have every CD, Tinley Park will be my first concert. I was able to get tickets on ebay. I am so excited & can't wait!!!

Welcome to BN, Daydreamer!

Hope to see you at Tinley!

WELCOME, WELCOME
TROPICAL DAYDREAMER - glad you'll be at the concert & glad you stopped by here to say Hi. You're right, this is a terrific group

Welcome aboard TD! NIce to meet you! Tinley is going to be a blast and glad you can join us! Hope to meet you there!

Welcome aboard! And you will love your first concert. Do start things out right by joining fellow BNers partying before the show!!!!

just an FYI on some info I got back from 'the Bank'

JC,
The lots are scheduled to open at approximately 4:00. Buffett provides tailgating until 6:30, and then we will be closing down the parties and sending everyone to the gates (yes, we have to be the party poopers!) I hope this helps enjoy the show!

Subject: Buffett in August


I planning a trip to the Buffett show at Midwest in August. Can you give me a estimate of when the parking lots will open for this event. In years past, it has been mid afternoon and I wondered if that would remain the same? Also, I understand that the town of Tinley Park has ordinances against drinking in the parking lots, but in years past this has been overlooked. Is it safe to assume this will be the case again this year?

Thanks

JC

17 days!!

Sorry I have been MIA for the past week or so, we just moved to a new house on friday. It has been a crazy whirlwind of boxes since then. Plus I dont have internet yet hooked up at home. But able to connect at work.

Sounds like the plans are meeting up at Holiday Inn to enjoy the festivities 12 - 4, then heading on over to the parking lot to tailgate as soon as it opens. I will update pg. 1


Im getting soo excited, I need a vacation.

These are the people who gave me their cell phone numbers.

If you are not on this list, but would like to be, please PM me with your info.

The directions to the Mac show and the Cubs game are a little confusing for me...
