Nope, it's in my past. January 2 years ago ... went to the Blonde Strangers on Bourbon Street, which was at the same time as the Pardi Gras.... it was great.

If it helps, I think they sell cards at M'ville..MICHIPHIN wrote:that mileage does not include the four (4) trips to Margaritaville, two (2) trips to Howl at the Moon, three (3) trips to Bahama Breeze.....and the coutless miles looking for a shop that sold a greeting card in Plant City, FL...which CAN NOT BE FOUND.....we settled for a blank envolope from a gas station attendant...........Hence...I apologize for the envolope with the hand written message Topless.....but know that the thought was there......
I didn't add up the mileage, but I think I got you beat. From last year (all by plane unless noted):SDPirate40 wrote:Wow, some really long distances from these posts!
My record, in 2000, I saw 12+ shows from my base in San Diego...including:
Nissan in DC.....5000 miles RT (give or take), two shows
Boston/Great Woods (2 shows).....same
Indy - an amphitheatre somewhere in a cornfield (I am not kidding)
Charlotte
Chicago - Tinley I think it was called
Alpine Valley
Vegas (twice I think) MGM Grand
Phoenix Desert Sky
San Diego
Irvine (2 shows)
LA (the Millenium show at Universal New Year's Eve)
All told, about 22,000 plus miles (mostly on a plane) just to see Jimmy in 12 months!
