jimmy eats first

Post by rich_big »

looking at tsg website I see what has to be provided when JB plays. I like the part that says jimmy should be the first person in line to eat.

Since they had to put it in writing, I am sure it has happened before. I would hate to be the roadies sisters friends boyfriends roommate going for thirds when jimmy comes in hungry and there is no food left.

nah, Utley and Mac hit the buffet line in KC about 10 years ago like the Germans hit Poland. by the time they were done, nothing was left. That is why there are three security guards on them at dinnertime until Jimmy gets his first plate.

I looked through the whole thing and it actually seems quite reasonable. The only thing that surprised me is the demand for alcohol in the band vans. I understand alcohol consumption in limos where the driver is separate but it would seem to me that the typical vans I've seen transport bands before would not be sufficient for protection with open container laws, at least in some states. Unless this is referring to alcohol for the busses, but it says vans. [smilie=noeyedear-shrugging.gif]

That BEO was from 2001, I bet the quantities and types of items ordered have changed big time since then. :lol: :lol:

I think it has more to do with Jimmy’s Health than anything.

Does anyone remember when they had the norovirus outbreak at the Flamingo back in 2004? It was right at the same time as the October shows Jimmy did in Vegas.

Now run this scenario through your head. You have tickets to the Saturday Show. The guy with novovirus has tickets & a backstage pass for the Thursday show. Do you want him to go through the buffet line before, or after Jimmy? No Jimmy, no show.

Besides, think of this as a perk for a guy who has had his name spelled wrong all of his life. Buffett should be in the front of the Buffet line.

Just my opinion.

Maybe Jimmy always eats first because they line up in alphabetical order. In that case, it would s*** to be Utley!
