Who's going to Concord, CA (5/19)?

[TropicalTroubador]

A big THANK YOU! for everyone who helped make yesterday's party so much phun! If you were there, you know how much fun we had. If you weren't...well, too bad.

We even had a surprise guest appearance by our very own SANTA! (RagtopW) Thanks for coming all the way from Boise just to see me gig. Hope you liked that other guy's show too.

Special thanks to the following:

--Joe Granieri: You rocked. You even put up with my critiques. Thanks very much for gifting us with your music.

--The lovely and talented Rossana, who was my helper for the show. She's a very talented artist in her own right, recently transplanted to the Bay Area from LA. Their loss.

-- "Downtown Bob" Vollmer, whose RB&C Band rocks Vacaville regularly, for helping with postcard distribution at AJs. Next time we'll get *him* up on stage.

-- Kelly and Daniella, my "Holiday girls" who were spreading the word out at the Sleep Train Pavilion while we were partying at AJs.

And remember: Jimmy only comes to the Bay Area once a year, but we party like Parrotheads all year long here.

i get to be the first of many, who get to say thank you ...t t...and joe for providing entertainment at a j's. it's always nice to discover an unexpected mystery guest in attendence. most of the people that were there, weren't much into introducing themselves. so other than the obvious b newsers and the lat 38 peeps, who else was there?
also jimmy did say, "were still having fun, see you sometime next year" so if given a voice as to where the next show should be, what would be your choice? for me...shoreline....

Thanks to all who put together the get together, we drove up from San Jose early to miss the traffic and stopped by AJ's for a drink.

Concord seemed much more low key that Shoreline, a bit of tailgating, no mad rush to the lawn, or we missed it, and still had front row dead center lawn, plus we follow the ushers directions and took down the banner that was blocking some views, (and took it with us).
We spent the $20 on parking and got out of the lot relatively quickly.

Hello Loren and All,

Thanks for the memories. I had a great time. See you next time. Don't know what my next Buffett show will be but hope to see you all there. I was going to go to Vegas but now need to find another show. Let me know if you guys are planning to see another show this year and perhaps we can hook up. Keep in y'all. Take care, Joe G.

Perfect, we saw you, my son turned around and said hey dad they are already taking down the banners!!
We got ours on the way out and the SleepTrain staff just laughed at us.
Now Irvine was a very different story when it came to taking things!!

To those that said hi, great to finally meet some of you. Thanks
