Have You Ever Met/Conversed With Jimmy? Buffett, that is.

In 2005 Jimmy had a premiere of "HOOT" in Irvine, CA that was connected by satilite to 5 other theater locations accross the nation....it was sort of a preview to get audience reaction. The local T.V. station in L.A. had a give away of four tickets...I registered with little thoght that I'd win....and I did! I took my three 'keets. Didn't think Jimmy would be there until I was in the V.I.P. line with Nadirah, Heather, Jim and Peter Mayer. We were sitting in the theater waiting and my daughter asked me if I thought Jimmy would show and I said maybe he'll sneak in after the lights go dark, her eyes got really big right then and I turn around and he was walking down the isle behind us. Everyone knew he was there and nobody bugged him. During the movie I cheered when the bully got hit and someone sitting behind shushed me. I turned to apologize and it was Michael Utley. I shut up after that. After the movie, Jimmy, Carl Hiaasen, Wil Shrinner and a few of the cast had a question and answer talk and then Jimmy, Mac and Roger played Good Guys Win, Volcano and Margaritaville. It was in a rather small movie theater that was not full at all. It was like having him perform in my livingroom, we were that close. It was very surreal for me and a wonderful place for my 3 'keets to experience him being himself and watching him be really excited about his project. After the movie we got great goodie bags (Hoot flip flops, watches, t-shirts and back packs) and they interviewed my 'keets about how they liked the movie, etc...obviously for a commercial we never saw. I passed Jimmy in the foyer at least 3 times and was too dumb struck to do anything but smile. No one was hounding him or bugging him for autographs, it was really cool.
