Who's going to Toyota Park on 8-15-09?

[ejr]

Another great concert and tailgate with a great group of folks! And I got banana Republics

[Glorfindel7]

Nice to see everyone again

One show to go... I'll see a few of you in a couple of weeks
In the meantime, see you on the Alpine Thread

Good setup this year as usual Matt, can't wait to see what you come up with for next year

[Barefoot Gypsy]

Had TOO much fun and WAY TOO much sun! Glad to see everyone I was lucky to cross paths with. Sorry I missed some that I had fully intended to meet. maybe next year.

[Summerlover]

What can any of us say. Matt really knows how to put a party together. I will have to come with something to ID us for next year. The BN id came to late for me to print off. Next year. Met a few of you but I know we missed many of you.

[Bern]

Matt, was nice to met you. Words cannot descibe what I saw, it was awesome, and very obviously the talk of the tailgate!

[Bern]

I also must say it was really great meeting a few of you.......

Matt's set-up was being talked about on the North side lot....by EVERYONE

Barefoot Gypsy, thanks for the work you do keeping us all in touch. We want to party with you next year, we just are not sure if we could keep close, let alone keep up.......

ejr, it was great to meet you. Truly a wonderful lady.

Wino you know, you truly are the people my parents warned me about........
And I'm glad they did, and had the chance to have met you. A true class act.

dchspoptart, did not get the chance, hope you enjoyed your first, I know it will not be your last!

Candyman, also circled your van 2 - 3 times, sorry I missed you. My wife bought a package of M&Ms at a turnpike stop today on our way home, something I never have seen her do. Even without meeting you you have inspired us!!

Everyone else, sorry I missed you. We came in the wrong way, and we were not able to park in the East lot. Fortunately, or unfortunately, "making the rounds" for me usually means it's my turn with the blender, not wander the lot.
Once settled with 30 or so new found friends, I am slow to migrate.......

Hope we can do it again next year, TOYOTA PARK once again did one hell of a great job!!

we made it home safe and sound. Another grand time! We had a blast with the pool, baptizing virgins... LOLOLOLOL Too much fun!

Just waiting for Mike to send me out his addy and Duckett will be headed his way.


We didn't spend too much time at the Parrot dice lounge, but the few times we moseyed by it looked like everyone was having a wonderful time!

Definitely won't be my last! Didn't get in to the lot until after 5pm... Next time I'm going to try to make it earlier!! .. just gotta figure out when next time is!

I had a blast at the show and in the city/area as well. Took a side trip to Kenosha since I've never been to Wisconsin, and stopped in South Bend to see a friend of my friend who was traveling with me. Stopped in Indy at Cheeseburger in Paradise and then drove home. Left the hotel about 10:30am and didnt get home till just after midnight.
Hope everyone else had a blast too!

Yesterday (Sunday) morning as we were heading back home to Iowa, my friend David and I stopped at the Denny's in Bollingbrook for breakfast.
I was wearing a Jimmy Buffett margaritaville t-shirt, and didn't think much about it when I put it on, since that's pretty much every day attire for me when I'm not working.
Anyway, at the restaurant, a guy about my age saw me in the t-shirt and asked if I'd enjoyed the concert.
I told him of course I did, and asked how anyone could NOT enjoy the show.
He then told me he was the #3 guy for stadium operations, and said Jimmy's tour manager has already asked stadium personnel what dates would be available for Toyota Park for the summer of 2010.

Now how's THAT for something to smile about on a Monday morning?

OH, and Bern:
It was great meeting you and your VERY lovely lady too. (That woman was your daughter, right)?
I'm really glad you and she were both able to get into the concert, even though it was a result of my ineptness. Hopefully we'll all be able to do it again next year.

[Seas in my veins]

Wow....After a whole day at O'hare i finally made it home to Philadelphia. i didn't get to meet most of you as I was wrapped up at the Parrot-Dice Lounge, and I thought we threw a hell of a tailgate in Philly!
Matt and Amanda -
Thanks so much for your hospitality, we all had a great time not only at the concert but in the city of Chicago as well, what a great place!! Now off for my last show of the season in AC!

Well? Well? WELL?

Did he give you any indication as to what dates were available?

No.
Apparently the schedule for the soccer team isn't out for 2010 yet, and it would mostly hinge on that.
The thing is, Jimmy wants to come back in 2010.
I don't know about anyone else, but it has ME smiling.

Ok, since it is the soccer team's stadium, I guess they get first dibs.

Has me smiling too. Thanks for sharing.

AND THAT'S NOT ALL!

I finally met Steve Huntington (Radio Margaritaville) at Joe's Bar on Friday night.
He's an extremely nice and personable man-I enjoyed our conversation very much.

ROCK ON, STEVE!

I need to make the Parrot-Dice Lounge a paying Gig. This work stuff is horse crap in comparison.

Peek a Boo . . . I see all of you . . .

So who's ready for a concert!? Just got a new car with Sirius in it and listening to RM is making it seem like we are forever and a day from concert season both passed and the shows coming . . .

Thats why I choose to mix it up with the Havana DayDreamin event in Quad Cities. What a great event and it brings out most of the Reefers . . . Hope all is well with everyone.

That reads like a commercial . . . I like my women like I like my coffee . . . thats why I choose . . .

Anyone looking for house guests? I'm in need of a vacation and I'd love to sample your rum and women!
