Margret and John!!!!! WTG!!!!!!!

Couldn't, couldn't couldn't happen to a nicer couple of PH's!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D 8) 8) 8) 8)
Dutch - you have hit the nail on the head!! My sentiments exactly :D

Margaret and John - I couldn't be more pleased for you xx
Thanks so much Dutchy and Roxanne for your kind words. When we were at the concert John said it is a pity we did not have Dutch Harbor's fishing rod to drop down from the balcony!!!
When we were in Vegas I felt so sorry for this tramp or homeless person that I gave him some money two days in a row to buy some food (or most likely drink) and said to John that because of my good deed we will have some luck. It came true and we got into the concert. The week before we came away John got 5 numbers on the lottery which paid for our holiday and I said that is because we paid for flights and accommodation to see Jimmy and then it was cancelled.

I just hope that I have not started all this agro and bickering. We have forgiven Jimmy or his management or the MGM for the cancelled shows and I just hope that next year he will play in Vegas so we can go again. We met some wonderful people from the US and just thanks to everyone that made our holiday so enjoyable - too many names to mention in case I miss a name out.
Margaret and John, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you folks yet but I'm *SO* happy you had such a fantastic experience!!! :D

My apologies to the moderators for this post, but I just wanted to state that I had an amazing weekend in Las Vegas Oct 16-18th. We too had planned on attending the show at the MGM, but looking back really didn't miss it that much with all of the other wonderful entertainment options Las Vegas has to offer. I can't think of a better city to be stuck in for a weekend with no concert. We actually bought our airfare after the show was cancelled.

My relationship with JB (or any other artist) is simple. I purchase a ticket which is a license to attend a concert. Sure, I was disappointed the Vegas concert did not happen as originally announced, but I certainly don't feel entitled to anything as a result of the cancellation.

That said, I can't wait for the 2010 Vegas show(s) and hope the shows continue for many years to come!

Oh... I agree so much with you!

Especially, because nobody actually bought any licenses to attend any Buffett concerts in Las Vegas in October.

And I also agree, I don't feel entitled to anything as a result of the "cancellation" either.

Glad you had a great time in Vegas btw!!! :)

I definitely agree that it time to give this subject a rest. Everyone has made their point but I just regret now even mentioning about this private concert and that it has caused so much aggro.

Margaret and John,

It was AWESOME for you to share your story...no worries....this debate I'm sure will continue until the next concert season is here....Glad that something good happen to two good people. I still maintain that BN is made up of MANY MANY great people (some who will never see eye to eye however).

Phins up!

And THAT'S why we need to match up the short people with the short people and the tall people with the tall people. :wink:

We were in Vegas Oct 15-19th for what was to have been the show
on the 17th. MGM Grand had no show of any kind on the 17th. The
weather in Vegas was awesome 86-90 and yes while we would have enjoyed
a Buffett concert we still had a blast. That said I still think Parrotheads
are owed a full explanation on why the Concerts were cancelled.
