But I haven't been posting too much over there-they know I'm going, they know where I'm staying, they know where my seat is, and they know I'm drinking. (Just a little).
Why else do I need to post there?
So you are not driving all day and night for Alpine? Do you just not like us in Chicago!?
I'm driving up to Janesville (for the Alpine concert) on the Friday before the concert, and leaving for home on Sunday-the day after the concert.

The Chicago concert will be a "there and back" for me because I'm not able to get a hotel room-NOT because I don't like somebody-I love ALL you guys, but all the motels were booked, and Jimmy won't let me stay with him.

You do know that as things get closer, if you are able to stay, someone here will offer to have you stay with them. and no, not me-Nicki gets one bed and I get the other! But Garry, I am sure you'll be able to find a place to stay if you want.

I'm sure I will-but since I'll be at Alpine the following weekend and at the Mets/Cubs game the weekend after that, I'm thinking I probably SHOULD drive home after the concert.
Unless, of course, Jimmy lets me stay with him.

HA I got a reply from The First Midwest Ampitheatre:

"Matt,

For Jimmy Buffett the lot is never opened as early as 1pm. It is usually around 4pm. You need to give us a call at 708-614-1616 closer to the event to find out the final details. We do not have final details until a week before the event, that is when the tour confirms their desicisions. Have a good one."

When I looked at my watch last year it was 2:30-3 pm and I was surrounded by Parrotheads in a praking lot strangely similar to their venue which when the concert time started put me just outside the actual theatre!? I love when Tinley park plays this game with people every year.
When I got there at 2:30 there were many there before me waiting for my arrival.

I too have been tardy.

I am in Customer Service at TDCanada Trust. The only thing that makes me go to work each day is the summer plans I make and the vacations that take me south in the winter. (yesterday at work I was reading BN which is not allowed and on the pumped in music they played Come Monday and Weather With You back to back......WWY was not by him but still!!!!) Does that not show you the power that BN produces.........please don't squeal on me

I would like to live in Key West or St. Maarten. Never been to Hawaii (yet) nor California, but they would probably due as well.

Isn't that what teachers do?

Where would I like to live...in a luxury motor home (with a hired driver) so I could travel wherever I wanted!

Than live in a motor home or get a detention??

I guess it would depend on who was in the motor home with me.....does that mean I would have to give up my brand new tent trailer?

Caly,
I may be going to Chicago with you.....
Just waiting for ticket seller (BN connection) to confirm.
I'll be taking that famous brother of mine.

OK, Question of the Day for Thursday:

Name a person you have never met (other than Jimmy) who you would like to have an hour conversation with.

Mine would be either Bob Woodward (author of lots of stuff including "All the President's Men" or Thomas Friedman (also author of lots of stuff including The World is Flat"

With the former, I am a political junkie, and he has been a pioneering political writer for over 30 years. With the latter, his insights into our position in the world are fascinating, and I would love to have him teach me more about the Middle East, and share his latest insights.

OK, now that I have bored all of you, who would you choose?

CarolineStTireSwinger · Post by **CarolineStTireSwinger** » March 8, 2007 8:11 am

It's a toss for me, either Michael Jordan or Dale Earnhardt Jr. I don't know if I could choose between the two of them. Definately not as insightful as ejr. Sorry, Phins Up!!

Hmmmm, I've already met Cindi and Larry......maybe Penny or Molly or Lisa?
Oh, they don't have to be from BN?

Richard Branson, Jerry Seinfeld, Henry Aaron, Mary Tyler Moore, Neil Armstrong? So many choices from all over the map, but I think I'd go with Tom Brokaw (sorry, Garry

) He's seen so much of history, but I think we'd spend more time talking about his home in Montana and his recreational trips all over the world. Much like Jimmy, he has the desire to see the world and the means to do it.
Plus, in that hour, I think we'd toss back a beer or two.

and after all that beer, maybe I'd have enough courage to walk over to Mary Tyler Moore's table....

Question of the Day:

DO the people need to be Dead or Alive?

I'd love to talk to Al Capone and more so Bugsy Siegel. They are both dead however but hearing about the birth of Vegas would be "hellacool". The answer isn't worldly or inspiring

Alive - Michael Jordan - I'd love to Golf with him. I'd love to get womanizing tips from Bill Clinton. I'd like to meet the head of the FBI.
I'd like to meet Steve Wynn - Casino owner. I'd like to meet Robert Iger CEO of Disney.

Don't apologize for LIKING someone for gosh sakes! Especially Tom Brokaw. His book "The Greatest Generation" should be REQUIRED reading for every American.

Anyway-here's MY choice-
PATRICIA HEATON

CarolineStTireSwinger · Post by **CarolineStTireSwinger** » March 8, 2007 10:20 am

Good choice I find her very attractive.

Always liked her. imdb.com says she has a Fox sitcom in pre-production, whatever that is. Have your people call my people.

HA! I opened this and all I saw was boob! She has had "enhancements". She is on my list of people to meet but for different reasons.

Wino you know · Post by **Wino you know** » March 8, 2007 11:05 am

I get RADICALLY enhanced whenever I look at her.

Can't wait for 6 o'clock so I can watch Everybody Loves Raymond!!
