That was just the "start" citcat. I figure as long as I have the scepter, everything else will fall into place.

OK this is starting to look serious. 70% THUNDERSTORMS. It was just scattered t-storms. OK we need the concerts gods to really come through for us this time.

Pish posh. I have my scepter, which has literally pusched back thunder clouds before.

('course they came back with a vengeance, but then we were just barefoot children playing in the rain)

Well then. Please don't forget the sceptor. The way its looking you might want to bring more than one.

whatever power that sceptor has Use it!!

Still here in Knoxville, but as soon as I get off of work tomorrow I'm heading to Nashville with flipflop444 and IStoleThePeanutButter. Staying at the Doubletree. We're probably gonna grab a bite to eat and hang out on Broadway Friday night. Then on Saturday morning, Bob Roberts and his wife get to Nashville. Unfortunately we weren't able to get tickets for Rippy's in time so we're gonna have to wing it on Saturday. I have no idea what's in store.

PHONELIST REMINDER

I will be sending the Nashville April 30 thru May 2 concert weekend phone/email list out tonight via PM - private message. If you will be in town this weekend and want to keep in touch with BuffettNews friends so you can meet-up send me your info and I will add it and you to the list. Friday is a busy day for me but I will check my messages to see if anyone has a last minute addition and send it if they do.

Phins Up and have a safe trip y'all

Just in from Ticketmaster. . .

Thanks Nikki...that's a nice tidbit of info

Unless something has changed the shelby street ped. Bridge will be closed sat. So you will have to take the shuttle or walk a very long walk around..

Mr. Irishcajun works downtown, so we will probably use his parking pass. Not sure how much tailgating we will be doing. It will depend on weather and such.

Just posted on the ticket board, thought I'd include here. I have 4 seats available for face sec 102 row D. Would like to recoup my ticketba$tard ransom, but willing to negotiate if there are boat drinks and gumbo involved. We land at 6 on Thursday from Colorado. Cell is best 3035647583. Cheers.

We'll see you all Saturday

wow small world... i was at tn tech visiting and heard it on the radio and was never able to find it anywhere online. consider my mind ophicially blown.

Well that's just cool. I went on the radio live back when it first hit youtube and they recorded it and played quite a bit on the Crossville country station at 102.5. It is a small world!

The Paradise Trailer Park is a great place to eat as someone mentioned above and we'll probably do dinner there (hopefully Rotiers for lunch) It will be a cheesburger in paradise kind of day!

RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY! (We may be glad it is in indoor venue!)

Maybe for late night ! I don't know where that is. I'll look it up on google maps.

Who all is going to the Peter Meyer show Friday night?

We will be at Paradise Park for sure if it is raining. I have local friends going to the show and they are hearing it is the place to be as well. I heard they have several Tequilla reps there all day so hopefully some free Tequilla!
