I can see the 40 page macro ridden spreadsheet now... Go for it!
Stripper poles FTW! For what its worth, it seems like each show at Bristow gets better and better.
What we really need to do is list the WORST tailgating venue. I'd like to nominate Charlotte for that coveted title.

He's living in my basement, raiding my beer fridge and liquor cabinet on a nightly basis....and getting ready to go back to the New England Parrotthead Convention next week....if and when he sobers up, i'll ask him.
BTW, I think he's planning on touring again this summer
So, in other words, a blow up Duck living in your basement has more balls then Kenny Chensey? I hear that!
You only have two options - havin' fun or freakin' out...

Oh THAT'S Easy. Madison Square Garden.
Take me for what I am, a star newly emerging.
I accept the new found man, and I set the twilight reeling.

With a lack of sponsorship so far, we're only able to investigate Frisco this year until our funding increases. Of course, extensive research at Nissan (The Lube) will continue regardless... Alpine Valley, Cincy, Raleigh, Charlotte and Atlantic City have spreadsheets. Tampa and Great Woods are at the top of the list for further research. Although, if a caribbean location arises, that venue would pop to the top of the list......of course...
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Pinot Noir in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO"

Charlotte couldn't carry a candle to Auburn Wa. There is NO TAILGATING ALLOWED WHAT SO FREAKING EVER.
The parking lots don't open early and when they do you are parked bumper to bumper and told to go strait into the venue. The lot is a strictly enforced NO DRINKING zone and if you are caught by the police you will receive a ticket. This is why I believe Jimmy won't play there anymore. (at least that's my theory) His first and only concert there was the first one that this policy was enforced. A previous concert before that landed the venue a huge fine from the Liquor Control Board and they were threatened the loss of their license to sell alcohol inside.
SAVE THE EARTH
It's the only Planet that has chocolate.

Worst tailgate? If we are discussing places Jimmy traditionally plays every year (recently) . . .Charlotte comes to mind but my vote goes to Chicago. I've done Alpine, Cinci,Great Woods, of course. Florida. Atlantic City. Jones Beach. Camden. Nissan.
Of those . . . Chicago and Charlotte are the two to avoid. Although Jimmy usually plays the Chi - town area when the Cubs are home which is always a good time. The tailgate is just lame for some reason.
the hit and run is as good as any religion around this time of year . . .
