I'd say that's a safe bet.

And, Jimmy thanks for all the special Senior moments you share with all. The 27th really was the 28th!!

big shocker there

irishcajunphan · Post by **irishcajunphan** » August 16, 2006 12:37 pm

Ok, I HATE Monday sales. I'll be at work with no way to get tickets as will my hubby. Anyone willing to help me out? We want the Oct 28th show to make up for my birthday trip to Atlanta when we wrecked the car missing the concert and to celebrate Mr. Irishcajun's bday which is the 24th. This will be our third attempt at Vegas and will hopefully be the charm.
