First, I am embarrassed it has taken me this long to get my Paris comments posted.

Peter's show on Thursday night was beyond description. Both Jim and Peter were so gracious with everyone after the show.

I thought this year’s show was much better than La Cigale. Jimmy’s sitting on stage for He Went to Paris was priceless. It was great spending the day in line with old and just-met friends. I could not believe it when I looked up and there was Jimmy on his bike. I got one picture of him with me but Roxanne posted a better one! Thanks Rox! I also managed to get my ticket signed again.

I also should explain about the “Mistaken Identity Flip-flop Incident”. The couple from South Africa, Jill and husband (starts with "J" but I know I cannot spell properly, my apologies) brought Jimmy a beautiful wire great white shark as a gift. It was a local art method using a chrome wire. It was really cool. They mentioned it to Jimmy on the street then sent it around to him through the stage door. Jimmy held it up during Fins and called it “a feeding frenzy from Capetown tonight”. I was next to Jill on the rail right of stage center. Jimmy came out at the start of the encore, walked directly to me, handed me the flip flops, and said :”for the shark”. Well his words did not immediately register because I was in shock. It took a minute to sort out with Jill and her husband that Jimmy thought I was him. I immediately gave them to Jill. Shame on those of you who advised me I should have turned and run. But now, Jimmy thinks I am from Cape Town and already have a pair of flip-flops! I will have to figure out a way to set him straight at next year’s show. Maybe Marcus can help me come up with something. But as Marcus pointed out, at least I got to handle them.

It was another great trip. I look forward to seeing many of you at Vegas then MOTM.

Sorry it took me so long to share some of our pictures, but you know how it is: Work, work, work ... and a bigger pile of it 'cause the boss is on vacation

Well, they are on the Parrotheads in Paris - Sept 2010 Facebook page

Excusez-moi, for posting them in reversed order, it was my first time to deal with facebook photo albums - but there is a nice picture of Jimmy with the Bayerisch Lion hat from the Octoberfest, I have not seen that picture otherwise yet.

Great pre-show party - BIG thanks to the organizers, you did a good job, watching the great Anguila show was the perfect warm up.

Hello to Yorkshire Parrothead - was very nice to meet you, see: you did convince me to post something again!
Greeting to everybody else, esp. my Spanish neighbors, thank you so much, I wished we all had exchanged more e-mail addresses but hopefully we will all meet again.

I have already posted under (cowboy in the jungle) but just wondered does anyone have a picture of Roger when he was pointing out and up? I sure do wish I had snapped a photo but was too busy pointing and waving back.

It was great to meet Cheryl and Luc, Roxanne, and went around the mezzanine screaming Rene but never found her. I did feel like we walked in and had 1500 new best friends. Here is me and my husband at the concert. A perfect 52nd birthday present.

Phenomenal!!!

Where was the one taken of Jimmy in his hat and harry potter glasses, seemingly at night? Did you have an additional non-concert encounter with him?

Thanks so much for sharing your sis's pictures... crazy cool!!

That was on the stage before the concert as we all ran in to get a spot in front of the stage -he was walking around checking things out -really cool to see him up close like that & he still had his jeans on.

I am already dreaming of next year in Paris. It was announced in Feb. so it is only 4 more months till they set the date for Paris 2011. I will see you all there next year and hope we all get the seats we want. I also hope it is at Oylmpia again.

some late post Paris impressions of a long time 'Parrothead

Post by SwissParrotHeads »

*reading buffettnews*
'ok, pre- party will be at the Hard Rock Cafe.'
GF says 'you think they let us join them?' 'no idea, let's just get there and see...'
*entering HRC Paris*
*big security guy next to the Jimmy Buffett sign*
'let's have a drink and see' 'ok, Il'' have a coke'
*wait 10 minutes for a coke and a beer at the bar*
*drinking, looking at funny dressed people walking upstairs*
*asking grim looking security guy if it's ok to go upstairs*
'No problem, have fun!'
*listening to Anguilla live upstairs, talking to random nice people*
*walking down to the venue, queuing up, talking to more random nice people*
*getting inside, getting some t-shirts, getting one mor coke (and one more beer of course...), getting a nice position to enjoy the show...*
*show starts, I start crying, singing along and dancing, all in the same time...*
*getting wasted away in margaritaville*
*getting out, and to a freakin' loud irish pub with house music but good beer*
*meeting some nice fellow parrotheads and having a nice chat*

What more could I expect more for my first Jimmy Buffett live show?
We had a really good time meeting likeminded people. Having a blast of a party together!
My GF who isn't much of a JB fan liked it a lot, thanks to all the nice people we met.

Thank you all for this once in a lifetime experience!

Hope to see as many as possible again this year, be it in Paris or be it in the USA!

Thanks for reading!
