Sounds like someone who should have had lawn seats and stayed there.

[SchoolGirlHeart]

. .oh, and btb, sweetheart . .too bad you never sat down . .cuz I poured my beer in it . .

fixed it for ya......

I saw waaaaay too much rude behavior of the kind BG describes at the show.....

on the other hand, there was the 40-something couple next to me who had never seen a show, were absolutely loving it, and decided that I kinda looked lonely or something when they threw their arms around me and had me swaying with them during APLAF....

as for those rude ones What goes around, comes around.

You're right it does. We had some rude drunks in front of us at one of the shows. The girl had really long hair that she kept flinging back. Then she'd turn around and glare at my hubby and accuse him of "touching" her hair. Anyway it turns out they were in seats that were not theirs and they got kicked out of them. After the show we noticed that in their hurry to leave with security, they left behind two brand new T shirts in a bag under the seat... I felt sorry for them only briefly....

I hope the shirts fit

[nutmeg]

One of them is my size and the other is larger (Tom doesn't wear Buffett shirts) So I got them both. The larger one is a nightshirt....

Sorry that some of you had to put up with rudeness at the show. We were in the first several rows of lawn, and everybody was totally cool. No rudeness, no meanness, nothing negative at all. Closest thing to bad behavior was the dude in front of me who obviously came to the show only because his girlfriend loves Buffett. Even though he probably didn't enjoy it much, he was quiet, never made a fuss about people standing, and let the rest of us have a good time.

Kudos to my fellow lawn people. Great show, great people, great time.

Oops! I knew you probably had a list, but I didn't know they were
assigned official numbers! How far down it do I fall?

As for nutmeg's hair flinger, I was hoping you'd say she got it
sucked into an exhaust fan... or at least that she had inhaled it and gagged.
Congrats on the shirts!

[Cubbie Bear]

OMG, the little b**** wh@re from Alpine was sitting by you at Tinley. She needs to be put down

. .sadly, half of them came from MOTM last year. . .

. .oh, wait, . .YOU were there . . j/k

I was in the front of the lawn too - almost all the way on the right side of the stage - and there were 2 people laying down (!!) on a blanket a few feet behind us. All of a sudden, he freaked out because he got stepped on (Duh!!). An almost fight ensued, but security was called & all was ok - they took the guy away. Such is life on the lawn....

However, the excitement of the show was not diminished for me (just could have done without the distraction), and I stand by my 'rule' of being along the rail of the lawn - it's the safest place on the lawn to be!


Sorry (((BG)))!!

[Tequila Revenge]

OMG!

Was thinking it might be fun to head out east for a concert, but I think I'll hand with the mellow NO CAL crowds a little longer

[pamesoo]

. .don't usually drag around bad experiences from a concert . . but had to share . .

We had a two girls come stand IN THE CHAIRS in front of us during the next to last song. I tapped her on the back and said, very nicely, "We can't see." She just turned around and hugged the girl next to her and blocked our view for the last two songs. So, here's to that girl too.

She was only a small part of our whole less than pleasant experience thanks to First Midwest Bank Amphitheater. We will NOT go there again! Gotta say though, the concert itself was fantabulous! I will see JB again, just not at Tinley Park.

Our last concert, we sat behind some people who brought their kids. The little boy fell asleep in his chair....but near the end of the concert, the dad put his daughter on his shoulders so she could see better. She was really enjoying herself which was cool to see....However, I would like to have seen the stage too..... I couldn't imagine how much that family spent. They each had Tshirts...and I know how much those pavilion seats cost us.....to waste a seat on a 6 year old who slept through the concert was a crime...

[prrthd1987]

The concert was great... Jimmy put on a helluva show... BUT:

1) We were first in line to get in, and got a front and center lawn seat right there by the railing... some A-hole comes up after Sweet Home Chicago and shoves us out of the way and takes our spots... after a few songs, I got fed up and said "You can go back to your seat now... we have been here since the gates opened and we would like to see." He told me that it's a Jimmy Buffett concert and thanks for being an a**hole. I responded with "Take care, have a good one!"

2) During Fins, another guy came up and did almost the same thing, except he asked us to make room... Fine, he wants to see Fins, and we didn't have much of a problem... until he dumps his beer on us trying to do the Fins! My cousin (who rarely explodes like this), took the rest of his beer and dumped it straight on him

3) Before the show, my two cousins were still out at the car, getting something out of the trunk, when it starts shaking... there were people sitting on the hood, and the next morning there were a bunch of water marks from where the condensation of a bunch of beer cans ended up

4) Finally, someone stole my shoes! We were getting ready to leave and they were gone... luckily I didn't step on broken glass on the way to the car

While I was at the K-Fart that night getting new shoes, a girl standing in the checkout line also said that they have been to lots of shows and that it was just a bad crowd. I've been to a few shows, and none of them were ever this bad.

I still had an awesome time, and it was great to meet all of you! Thanks for a great show Jimmy!
