"Barmaid play me some Buffett.....I'm in the mood to get away.....so pour me a vacation....I need to leave here right away.....gotta head out by the ocean ....if it's only in my mind.... Take me out to paradise... if only for tonight ....I can leave it all behind!!!!!!"

And that dear friends is my state of mind. :wench: Although I would prefer a good looking bartender!! [smilie=cheeky-grin.gif]

Matt do you still have tickets or did they all find a home? I amy know someone interested in 2.

All my tickets are gone . . .

Gary had some extras. Look at the ticket exchange they will be at face value there too.

I'm planning on buying another Premium Space or 2. 60 people is a crap load then there are the onlookers.

I'll keep you posted on details. It appears I've added a new musician this weekend - I need to get him a catchy nickname before I announce him. He's my neighbor and specifically asked for a spot on stage!

Do we need to bring anything for admittance? Just wonderin'... I'm a newbie.

I've got 60 people I feed and dehydrate that make the trip with us. Bn'rs are welcome to stop by but I can't be responsible for feeding and or dehydrating. So your on your own there.

The Parrot-Dice Lounge is merely a spectator sport in the parking lot. Bring some of your ice cold drinks by and get your toes in the sand - meet some people - and enjoy a laugh - thats pretty much what we're about.

Right now we're actually looking at having some scheduled events for the stage. 9am-7pm is a long time for me to MC so I'll be scheduling in some breaks for me. I'm working out the details and as always I'll make the Pholks here aware.

Do what feels right. I've had people bring "Offerings" to the Tiki's and this year I'm putting out a Tip Jar. Drunks were paying to Beer Bong Race . . . . Flippin idiots paid AND brought their own beer!

My guess is there may be a second set-up, in addition to Matt---last year, a group of us caravaned over and hung out. since most of us are not likely to do the $60 parking, I would expect, the caravan is likely again. And we can possibly work out separate plans for food, etc.

And last I heard from Garry-I believe he was down to 1 ticket unaccounted for.

I think I'll skip on the $60.00 parking. The first row worked out great last year. We had plenty of room. Hopefully Toyota Park figured out they parked people way too close last year.

Anyone hear any mention of a Mac or Club Trini show this year?

I was hoping you would say that!

And I certainly haven't heard a thing about other shows, but maybe we will get one each weekend?

I'm not expecting people to go in at the $60 parking and I didn't want to roll the dice to see if we got the first row. I have no problem paying for the guarantee of space. Between 60 people its a few bucks to spread that cost.

Everyone always has stopped by and said hello and I expect nothing but for this year also.

Dan I may need to put in an order on Swedish Fish . . . . I still have 2 boxes of Junior Mints.

They have not changed the general parking layout. We got lucky pulling in when we did last year to start that first aisle. I do hope you all come by.

The $60 parking spaces were created by removing a row of cars from an aisle it sounds - 2x's more room behind the cars - which will be more than enough room seeing as how I will have 3-4. I feel like an ass only parking in 2 of them but we needed the space.

Just a quick question... I know we're like 6 months out (169 days according to http://www.tatrtalk.com/buffett/index.php).. anywho, does anyone plan on recording the show? Either from a good RM source or at the venue itself? I would love to have a copy... Thanks!

You need to introduce yourself to Gingerbread Man (Dave). He records it all off RM. He also will tend to video record parts of the show with his arse. No kidding! TRUE STORY!

I have never had a problem getting a copy of a show I attended. I think last years Toyota park show got posted on BN within days of the concert. SunLover has made it very easy to download shows in the concert trading section. (I owe him many a drink for all his hard work) His recordings have been excellent. If you are looking for lossless recordings there are also a number of great FTP sites that share the concerts.

GBM's post concert Video's are the best!!!!!

Wouldn't miss seeing the Lounge in action! [smilie=coolup.gif] With the amount of attention your tailgate gets they should give you a premium spot!

I received a small order of fish today. Going to Vegas in three weeks to place the summer orders. I will have lots of Fish by concert time :D

Thanks all for the video kudos.

And I agree, these days it's pretty easy to get a copy of a broadcast show, from many different places. I do record as many shows I can, even the ones I go to, though, I generally can't crank out a finished product before sunrise like SunLover can! :lol:

I hope everyone is passed out drunk somewhere . . . No one has posted a thing since Friday.

I'm out in the freezing cold garage bringing another toy to life for August. I brought in a mini-propane grill to try and warm the garage up . . . that didn't work.

Now I'm researching some graphical options and waiting on some adhesive to set.
