To all I met for the 1st time this weekend It was a pleasure and a hell of a weekend. To all I've met before it was great to see you again. Hope to see some of you in camden.

See you all next time!

Random thoughts on the weekend.....

........my faith in GW has been restored. After all the BS, it was much ado about nothing, we got in a for full days of tailgating, and I actually think I like Lot 13. Lots of woods for pee breaks, it's cooler than being on the blacktop, and it's where all the cool kids are The attendants were much better than last year, friendly and allowed us move vehicles both Thursday and Saturday to make Tam's bar work, and keep the groups together. Being the first car into the lot was awesome!!!!! Even Jon said to me after we parked how surreal it was for him to follow me into that empty lot. I was told that the fin on top of my Jeep was good luck, and I have to bring it next year


It was great meeting some new people.....Snowparrot, IrishPirate, I knew you were coming, and it was great meeting and spending time with you! Garry, what a surprise to see you show up with Larry! I look forward to seeing you again at MoTM.



THREE AWESOME SHOWS!!!! Thursday's show had a great setlist with a couple of songs I'd never heard live before, Tampico Trauma and Frank & Lola, and Tina doing an awesome duet with Jimmy on "Trip Around the Sun".
Friday's Sandbar show....WOW, almost beyond words! The Baha Brothers warming up the stage, Ilo coming out and doing an amazing set with a couple of new tunes, Peter & Jim Mayer doing old PM tunes together, Frinzi & John Patti helping Nadirah, Mike Utley, to do Club Trini tunes, and of course the newest Reefer, Rocky doing a duet with Peter 5 hours of one of the best jam sessions I've ever heard, with all the performers staying to do a meet and greet afterwards.
Saturdays's show....what a setlist!!!!! Knees of My Heart, If the Phone Doesn't Ring...., Wings, Mexico ( First time I've heard live) and of course, an accoustic version of "my song" to close out the show..." Gimme Oysters & Beer, for dinner ev'ry day of the year, And I'll feel fine, I'll feel fine...."
I made it on screen with Jen during Margaritaville, and saw Tommy, Jack, and Tam's bar make it too



After the Sandbar show I talked to Nadirah, and asked her to sign my Buffett show ticket. She asked if it was tomorrow's ticket and I said " No, tomorrow I'm in the 5th row, right in front of you....I'll wave Hello" , to which she replied, " And I'll wave back" During Creola she came over right in front of me and looked right at me. I waved and it made her smile and she waved back. WOO HOO!!!!! After the show, as they were leaving the stage, I had snuck Marilyn down with me, and as Nadirah left the stage she looked down at us. We both waved to her and she smiled and waved back. Talk about icing on the cake!!!!!



The GW Buffett Buffet....Hurricane Dave fed us with food that would've made Emeril jealous!!!! Dude, you really outdid yourself! Everything was delicious, and it seemed there was always something new to eat! I'm really grateful for you doing it, even though I think it's too much work for one person, and just hope you and Barb were able to enjoy the tailgate as much as the rest of us did. I am most appreciative!!!!!



The many examples of the Parrothead spirit. Dave & Barb catering a feast for the rest of the BN crew.....Dave getting tickets to the Sandbar for everyone.......Jen scoring me a 5th row ticket!!!!!......Carol giving Marilyn her Section 3 ticket...the carpooling, sharing of resources, and camaraderie. Parrotheads are known for it, but I'm convinced BNers take it to a new level. I'm sure I'll think of more, but I think this post is long enough already

Thanks to everyone for making the past 5 days memorable, and I can't wait til we get together again!!!!

It was a pleasure and a hell of an evening!!!

So is Breakwaters, the Brewery Tour, our pool & our sailboat....Y'all are welcome to come up here too

I hurt....everywhere....

Glad I'm not the only one....not hungover, but am physically exhausted....hopefully I can recover in time for Thurs' Jake show and our PH Club meeting on Friday

I'm sure we'll all be fine in a couple of days..
After cleaning up yesterday I was a zombie..

What a GREAT weekend !!!! Glad we all enjoyed it !!!!

I don't think I've ever been so tired. Plus my attitude as far as work is concerned - s*cks
But GOD it was fun.

And Chris, dragging people who live close to the ocean away from it in the summer isn't so easy! Heck if I lived near coastal MA I'd never go anywhere all summer! Come August we'll start working on them for Oktoberfest and try to merge that with the Brewery Tour since we weren't able to last year.

That 4 and a half hour drive really $ucked yesterday....we left at noon, and it was after 5pm by the time I unloaded the Jeep and jumped into the pool. After that I was on the couch til 11pm....even though I was tired, I was also too wound up and my internal clock was off, so I couldn't sleep.
It's gonna be a long day....and of course afterwards, I get to go buy a new cellphone

** My apologies to anyone who tried to call me during the weekend........I took my cellphone into the ocean with me at the Beachcomber so was without a phone I blame the Goombay Smashes **

Great Great Great day on Saturday. Had 4 virgins with us and once again they were treated right. Only complaint is cops gave my hubsband a hard time when some went to show he stayed back to take care of one of our virgins who was taking a "nap" and the cops gave hime a real hard time and made him break down everything, and told him to leave. Didn't they give us slips saying NO LEAVING until after event when we entered. Miscommunication I guess on their part and what was he going to do leave us all that were in the show. Never had that happen before. Maybe just one cop with a chip on his shoulder or jealous he was working and not tailgating, but not cool!
