EVERYONE will be able to enjoy this tailgate party!!! We are bringing video cameras, and will be posting the video online so everyone can enjoy. The video will be posted onto buffettphans.com, and accessable via buffettnews.com.
z is also willing to host any other tailgate videos created this year, so please make sure to take plenty of video and photos of your tailgate party's. They too could be hosted on buffettphans.com as a courtesy of...ME .
The ultimate goal is to get JB to grab the video camera and video the audience from the stage. Since video cameras are not allowed, it's going to be a hard task to complete...but one of us parrotheads can get it done! I am in pursuit of that footage and a front row seat. So I am in hopes of representing our 2008 Charlotte BN Tailgate Party in the front row!!....so wish me luck.

..I am open for the date of "2008"

Let's pretend the date is in Raleigh and you can come up here!

Pretty much have the schedule cleared for 2008.

hypothetically
I'm imagining myself on the front row

and it's not raining on the stage

since were are pretending to make something it happen - lets go for Charlotte, Raleigh AND Greensboro!!!! We'll let Jimmy decide the dates!

that was funny....during that show he said "the scary thing is that the lowest bidder got to build this place"

Didn't you NC guys try that last year with no luck, or was that some other location?
