Take me for what I am, a star newly emerging.
I accept the new found man, and I set the twilight reeling.

TV'S at the bars will have the games on upstair or down but the scene downstairs is much better. Have fun and have the Volcano Nachos.....

If I remember correctly, not all TV's upstairs had the game. Only the ones at the bar did.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

There are certainly better places to watch the game, it was not easy watching the Colts there a few weeks ago, try the sportsbook, you'll have a better view and a bigger tv, for sure.

Had a great time in Ct. got back late last night. I opted to visit Margaritaville on MLK Day and was not disappointed :wink: My older keet and I went there for lunch before sledding the rest of the day away. He insisted on wearing his tye dye "Party at the End of the World" t-shirt which ended up being a great choice.
They were crowded but we were seated immediately, Sally our server was at our table within minutes, after observing the shirt she proceeds to whip out a picture of Jimmy when he visited the Mohegan and begins conversing about her previous sightings and concerts, we were stoked. Shortly after my margarita and son's jolly mon came the manager stopped by offering us "anything you need just let me know". Food was typical Margaritaville and atmosphere was more Orlando than Key West or NOLA, although I've only visited Key West and NOLA late at night and without a keet so the comparison may not be accurate. When Sally dropped off our check she gave Nick a lei that was "worn" by Jimmy Buffett when he was singing on the stage at Margaritaville, I'm skeptical but it has become my son's favorite one and he has many 8)
On our way out we visited the shop and Pam Shepard the General Merchandise Manager introduced herself, asked Nick about his favorite song and different venues he's been to, told us she'd love to hear from him for their website as they would like to get more keets involved.

We had a great time, from the moment we entered it was an escape from the daily grind, you totally forget there's a casino right outside those doors. Phins Up to the people way up high putting the people we met and spoke to into those positions 8) 8) :pirate:
