SURPRISE!!!
there were some pholks I missed.. and I'm sorry for that
I really wanted to lay a hug on some of the pholks I missed..
those I saw.. thanks.. I had a great time..
I hope all is well and all are safe..
I spent all day Sunday in the Day's inn stuck.. (flooded road)
and all (well most of the ) day Monday relocating to the Ramada..
by a sheer stroke of luck a fence fell down at the back of the property
and we were able to leave Monday..
I know that my trials were minor and want to treat them as such.
some thoughts.... I had a great time.. PM and crew Friday night were great the show Saturday night was good... it was great to see the ones I did..
Good BBQ and a great great burger..
my ride home was fun..


I'll do my best to keep everyone updated. I'm sure we'll be having a big party when our Margaritaville opens. . .Nashville will recover. This is the Volunteer State which has been proven over and over during all of this. We'll be back BIGGER, BETTER, and STRONGER from the experience!

on a very selfish note.. If someone could keep us up on the
work and reopenings (and closings )
Downtown.. I really want to come back, when things
are up and running (yep I know at least 6 months maybe longer)
I loved what I saw..

thanks again..

Seems trivial, but it would be a nice addition to my Buffett T-shirt collection.

If you have any of these items and can get them over to the shelter on Oceola Ave, it would be great. They are also taking pet food and cat litter donations as well. I know this isn't the right forum for this, but I know the Nashville people are monitoring this page.

This is a great idea and a tangible reminder of the adventure that this concert was. Keep us all posted and I am happy to help get something rolling.

Whoa.

That is one big swimming pool.

Oh look...my husband took a good picture for once. Unless Mike was the one to take it.
