Jimmy WILL play at Toyota Park in 2009

[Nighthawk]

Yes they did share the stage, and sold an album that many people bought for many different reasons. I for one bought it because I enjoy Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett.

Jimmy also shares the stage at Jazz Fest or the Newport Folk Festival with many others but I doubt he coordinates his schedule with them.

Look at it this way too . . . Country shows typically have 2-3 opening acts. Jimmy has none. Maybe George shows up to do "hey Good Lookin" with Jimmy and then jets down Harlem to the Tinley Show. You'll be sad you missed it.

Sad that I missed one song? Probably not. Not unless he had Kenny, Toby, and Clint there too.

Clint? Nah.
Kenny? meh? Not worth what I got excited for.
Toby? I really hope Tony doesn't play the same day. I mean I hate the touring Ford Truck commercial but I've yet to go to one of his shows I didn't like and I've been to 5 I think.

** Kenny, Toby, and Clint would likely not be available either. They won't dare schedule something within a 750 mile radius of George out of the same respect you think Jimmy would afford George.

From the other Tour Date Rumors thread... And I no-can-do July 18th...
July
7/16, 7/18 - Bridgeview, IL- Toyota Park

I'm not sure if I'm buying this yet . . . too soon and too much info. I'm not too sure it gets put together that far out this early - Not July but the later dates.

There are alot of those dates that will get peoples panties in a wad.
* Vegas people not seeing Jimmy in October?
* The whole Texas fiasco
So I suspect it could just be some teasing. Its a new poster too. How would that one person just come in and start spouting off to us Parrotheads.

Maybe he works for "Live Nation"?

I was counting on the next weekend so I could catch the Friday cubbies game....either way hope I we see everyone again in Chicago in July!!

yep-we need two concerts and a Cubs game with both of you in attendance at all!

I guess nothing says we can't all meet at Murphy's even if there's no baseball game....

Dang - losing it here since I didn't readily get the Murphy's reference - but so can't wait to get back to Chicago.....already thinking about the old haunts and fave eating places.... Pepe's on 159th, Enricos, The Patio (also 159th) and of course there is the wonderful breakfast places.

[Wino you know]

It would be FANTASTIC if the concert were in late September-one of my Navy ships is having a reunion in Chicago then (22nd-27th), and it would be great if they were both happening at the same time.
But whenever the concert is, I'll be there.

a little French Toast perhaps?

[mjeischen]

HA! Pepe's on 159th - Bro-in-law and Sis-in-law had their rehearsal dinner there.

Small world but not so small that I've found myself caught in a Wrigleyville Cubbie bar.

I really do regret the Parrot-Dice Lounge in that it prevents me from visiting too much on concert day - thankfully, I was able to see all your smiling faces. I do remember slurring all over EJR at the show though.

those are a lot of my old haunts too! Love The Patio! Used to go to Chi-Chi's after work for their margaritas quite a bit too... I could go on and on about my fave restaurants/bars in the area. I don't get back that way enough. I am hoping I get to the Saturday show in Chicago this year.

And it is a credit to you that you remember that

[mjeischen]

You're right! Credit to me!

This year I don't expect to be so lucky. In our super tiny confined tailgating spaces I have big dreams to live out and this year is no different.

In those tight spaces, maybe you need to think about expanding "up" and not "out".
I'm thinking a 2nd-floor dance club on the Parrot Dice Lounge?

And, if you get there early enough to park in the first row again, set things up on the other side where there was a lot more room (like I suggested to you then)

Thats why the wife took the following pictures when touring the lot last year . . .


Its too risky in my opinion so instead we're going this route this year . . .

On a smaller scale . . .



The first part I need to build the machine arrived yesterday . . . .

Would be great to see you there
Hopefully Alpine works out though.... I'd rather have TP AFTER by Birthday, not before or during

Hey! I remember that from last year! My husband may or may not be in that pic. LOL. The platform was surprisingly stable. I guess the people who brought it have been doing it for Buffett tailgates for years.

I guess it's officially tour date season - time to be active on the BN forums again! There goes my productivity at work.
