Randy1278 wrote:A couple of things:

If you look at the seating chart from the Toyota Park webpage and imagine you are facing the stage, the seat numbers go from left to right. So, if you were in A2, row 1, seat 1, your seat would be next to isle between sections A1 and A2. There are 28 seats in the row. This is according to a rep from the Toyota Park Box Office. We were in A2, row 1 last year with a fantastic view of the speakers and about 1/3 of the stage. Our seats were closer to A1 than A3 and we were pretty p*** about it.

Also, the wife and I are still looking for 2 in sections A2, A3, or A4. Help us people, help us!

I also need a guess of how many people with be in the caravan / tailgate. We need to know how much stuff to bring. We usually bring way too much and throw some away. We would like to cut back a bit this year.

See you guys soon!
Thanks for the info. I guess we should be ok. Seats 25 and 26. Whew!!! Hope to meet up with all of you!

I cant wait! Daily Buffett lyric post on my FB page.
Hope I don't end up at the ER like last year with the cheeseburger lodged in my esophogus for 12 hours.
Got divorced and a new job since last year,

I was wondering when we would hear from you :wink:


Randy--I think the caravan will be between 5 and 10 cars, some with one person, some with 2, with others joining later on.

Where did the summer go?? :( A much better summer for us here in central Ill. Lots of lounging around the pool with friends.

It seems like just yesterday we bought tickets from BahamaBreeze and saw the Indy show. I couldn't wait all summer for this show. Fast forward............here we are!!

I sure agree about the lounging by the pool!! [smilie=cheeky-grin.gif] It has been, and continues to be, a great summer for that! Unlike last year when the pool heater had to be used throughout June!! :cry: $$ :cry: Oh well...I say if it's for the pool, it is always worth it!! 8) 8) 8)

Got some tickets.

Not as good as I was hoping for, but at least we can see the show.

I will continue to try and upgrade as the show gets closer.

If that happens, I have 2 seats in A4, row 23 that I will need to get rid of.

See you guys soon.

For some reason, tonight I am not receiving some of the PMs being sent to me, so if you PM me needing a response and don't hear from me, please post it in this thread and I will get it there--really odd.

Meanwhile, will post meeting time and place after listening to tonight's concert.

Was looking at getting tickets.....but this Saturday my American Legion, in which I am a member, we are having our big fundraiser for the Veterans Home... And im sorry, but they are A LOT more important than another lil Buffett concert.

All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all
Did you hear the one about me being a punk?
Did you hear the one about me being a drunk?
Did you hear the one about me losing my nerve?
Or how I'm just another f**** sheep in the herd?
Did you hear the one about me giving a s***?
Cause if I ever did I don't remember it.

Meeting Place for the caravan---McDonalds at 7701 S Harlem

Meeting time for caravan--10:15 am Saturday


I think I know who will be there, but be sure to check in with me if you have not let me know that you will be there.

It looks like we will have about 7 cars driving over together--candyman and mrs candyman will be joining us a bit later, so we will get set-up, and relax until they can join us--we may have to help bringing some of their stuff over, especially since they have a canopy and the grill.

Again, if anyone else can bring a canopy, please do, and if anyone can bring a grill, that would be great!

I think most people have checked in with me about food--check in if you need to.

and Glorfindel7 will get the cell phone list out tomorrow or Thursday.

And keep praying to the good weather gods!!!!!

We will see you guys there Ellen.

We should be there on time too.

I need another copy of the cell phone list just incase we are running late.

As of now we are bringing veggies, chips and dip. If we need to grab something else, please let us know.

Also, there is another member from Ohio (Holland, just south of Toledo) who was thinking about meeting up with us and joining the group. Have they gotten a hold of you Ellen? They sent me an email but never gave me a name. Hope they can make it.

Is anyone staying at the surrounding hotels? A few friends and I will be coming in Sat., probably hit the TGIF's at the Courtyard and then head to the grounds. In years past, there hasn't been much happening after the show though.....at least in that vecinity.

Fins Up!
