A great concert tonight.

And, on Friday, before the Cubs game, at Murphys, we (Nicki and I) were at a table waiting for other BNers to arrive and some girls came and sat at the table. They were going to the concert too, and were wondering about the folks we were meeting. They were perplexed at the whole thing but I explained that all of you were long time good friends I had not yet met.

You all made it a wonderful weekend!!!

What a great day! Had a good time tailgating at the Holiday Inn. I got to meet STLParrothead & her honey, ejr, snowparrot and lonepalm. All of the other BN'ers that I saw, I have met already. It was so good to see Mr. & Mrs. Chippewa (sorry we didn't hook up at the show again) and mikimouse, tommybahama, Tiki Bar & family, Lisa34 and Harborbaby, and all of the other BN'ers that I got to see again. Thanks for the lawn seat retrieval advice buffitonmybmw. We had a great time sitting next to Tiki and her girls. I lost my lawn cherry last night. Besides the drunk children that became obnoxious towards the end of the show, it was a blast as always. I hope everyone got home safely and for those of you who are traveling on to Indy, I hope we see you then!

Mr. Buffett, if you read this, thank you for yet another night full of memories and fr helpins us escape for a few hours. We love you and can't wait to see you in Indy on Tuesday! :)

Well ya can't call us virgins anymore. What a show. We had a blast. Jimmy's charisma is unexplainable. He truely is the real deal. He loves what he does and how it makes his fans feel, that is for sure. I wish we could have hooked up with some BN'ers but there is always next time. Thanks to everyone who answered my questions. Being fans, I can't explain why we had our heads in the sand when it came to going to see Jimmy. We're hooked. :D

Good morning to all I met. Sorry we wandered off after seeing the ParrotDice Lounge, but the sunshine and excitement addled our brains and we spread our tropical blanket on the shade on a "hill" near the margaritaville bus, and dozed off! Meant to get back to Chippewa's location, but it suddenly was time to go in and get a snack before concert!
It was a great one, wasn't it? Sound was sometimes a bit fuzzy... but Jimmy was SO happy and twinkly and bouncy...
my brother was impressed too

What a great show! Seriously, each show I see gets better than the one before it. I was extremely happy with the set list and the crowd was great this year :D Thanks to Jimmy and thanks to all of the BN'ers that I got to see again or meet for the first time! It was wonderful to see everybody :D

we're still alive in Chicago...barely.

Brandon lost his shoes sometime during the concert and walked around the gravel parking lots the rest of the night with a tshirt wrapped around 1 foot and a bunch of plastic lei's aroudn the other as makeshift footware.

We're leaving the hotel in a few minutes and trekking to breakfest, then to Kentucky to prepare for the Indy show on Tuesday.

That is all... :P :P :P

awesome day! Went sailing all day . . . didn't get to the tailgate until after 5 . . . did 4 shots of Patron from the nice people next to us . . . my friend puked after the 3rd but was a trooper and rolled with me . . . great show!!! I am telling you - Jimmy cutting back is a good thing because the quality of the shows, I think, are way better! Off to home . . . for all my friends that I missed - sorry . . . but will catch ya'll in Alpine!
the hit and run is as good as any religion around this time of year . . .

What a great time yesterday- both the Beach Bum Show and Buffett!

It was great to see everyone again...too many names to start listing (sorry) ...but a special thanks to Cindy and her crew for the food and lawn seats and everything. It was a blast!

Here are the BN Pholks at the Holiday Inn Beach Bum Band show.

P.S. Harbor Baby even became Mrs. Tommy Bahama for five minutes :wink:

All I'm saying is holy flippin debauchery yesterday......

And it's only gonna get more debaucherous as my week goes on... Chicago was flippin amazing. I was kinda hesitant because last year was a litlte tame, but dang..... What a day. Not only was the tailgate awesome (CRAZY MATT, YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!) but the concert was fabulous too. The crowd was out of control! Good times!!!!

See some of y'all in Indy... what a start to a great week!
