OK Friday starts Jimmy to Nashville Holy week. And as with all good religious celebrations there is so much to do before the big day.

Friday 4/24: Leave work, get propane, boil massive amounts of Alabama Gulf Coast Shrimp. (Accept no imitations). Drink a controlled amount of Landshark.

Saturday 4/25:Get up and ride in the Breast Cancer Ride then return home and make the Crawfish etouffe. Motorcycles, Breast, Mudbugs and more beer....this day is looking mighty good all ready.

Sunday 4/26: Iron the Hawaiian shirts, and take down the.....parrot suit.

Monday 4/27: Work at work. Be not really secretly jealous of people in Atlanta with tickets to tonights show

Tuesday 4/28 Work at work. Be secretly glad that I did not go to the Atlanta show since it is now over.

Wednesday 4/26 More of this work crap... Wanna open handed b**** slap that guy in my department who wishes every one a happy hump day, smile at him and say "thanks" instead. Just as I have for the last 10 years....but one day..........

Thursday 4/29 contemplate calling with Anal Glaucoma. (I just really can't see my ass going to work today or tomorrow) but the repo man circling the house convinces me to get up and go.

Friday 4/30 CONCERT EVE!!! Get up go work, sing (and try to lead heathen co-workers) Jimmy Carols all day....quite possibly the longest Friday of the year so far, punch out @ 3:00 CST (America's BEST Time Zone) go home and begin grilling Cheeseburgers limit self to 2 (two) Landsharks. Pack clothes, check road conditions on line, load the Maw-maw Jeep placing the sacred parrot suit on top where it is readily available should some unforeseen emergency arise that only a parrothead can handle. Appologise in advance to teenage daughter who is probably going to see her middle aged father make a spectacle of himself. Feed the cat and go to bed.

SHOWDAY!!! Reenact Smokey and the Bandit if it was a run from Central Alabama to Nashville with a Buffett based sound track. Get to Nashville, hopefully hookup with like minded people and have a wonderful night.

Sunday go home. Return to reality with a smile and a new T-shirt.

So what are your plans?

Sounds like you are well on your way to a Phantastic weekend. Where are you staying while in Nashville? Gotta tip a couple Landsharks with you!

Here goes...

Monday-wake up at ridiculously early hour, go work but secretly wish I was on some tropical island with a fruity drink in hand. Count down to end of work day,

Tuesday-see Monday

Wenesday-see Monday and Tuesday but happily endure the day because I have the next five days off!!

Thursday-hit the liquor store, buy beer, pack up my pets who go off to board while I'm gone (boo, hiss). Start the Jimmy Buffet pre-party, party

Friday-praise the NCDOT for clearing the rock slide on I-40!!! Pack up the car, load the Buffet CD's and off the Nashville

Saturday-soak up the culture, mingle with other parrotheads, pace self so I can enjoy the show, rock out, pass out at hotel

Sunday-great sadness that it will all be over but be left with some great memories

Have a great time!

<---- working all week.

(but some of your dates aren't quite right )

Well due to scheduling conflicts with Sunday we may not be staying in Nashville, we may have to show up and do the show the punch the eject button and head home.
HOWEVER I will arrive early enough to enjoy an adult libation and do the touristy gawk walk up and down the street in front of the Sommet center. I work for BF Goodrich tires(...remember us when only the best will do) so I cannot by contractual obligation mention the other brand that has bought the naming rights to the stadium.

Monday: go to Lowe's to get estimates on new countertops
Tuesday: grocery
Wednesday: chiropractor and choir practice
So far, it's exciting, isn't it ?
Thursday: pack, decorate van
Friday: head out for Nashville, bar hop downtown
Saturday: pre-concert 'tailgate' at Rippy's, concert, seeing BN'r friends
Sunday: travel home with a concert after-glow and sad face because it's over.

the 'anal glaucoma' phrase just kicked in

Monday- wake up, go to work, go to class, coach soccer, cut sleeves off of shirt for concert

Tuesday- class, coach soccer, refinish landshark cornhole boards

Wednesday- go to work, coach soccer, go to class, turn white silk pants into short shorts for saturday

Thursday- see 'Tuesday'

Friday- go to work, coach soccer, go to work at cool springs brewery (come check it out! 600 Frazier Drive, Ste 135
Franklin, TN 37067), get prepared for Saturday

Saturday- PARTY HARD, call out of work, PARTY HARDER.

Sunday- recover

Soooo do I listen to the concert online tonight or wait till Saturday? Listening to a concert online when your going in person in a couple of matter of days just seems like *******bating on your wedding day.

Well tomorrow is Buffett Eve, Sweet dreams ya'll.

Big time problems fellow Phlockers...... My wife will NOT allow me to wear the roller blades.
When was the last time you went to a trained parrot show and there was not a roller skating parrot? She is wanting me to break character just because of a chance that a slightly inebriated, middle aged white guy in a parrot suit on roller blades may be construed as a public nuisance. Or I could fall and break my hip or something. The fight is going to be on in just a bit but first I'm going go do the laundry so I can have fresh clean "wife beater" T-shirt on when the cops get here o break up the domestic violence call.
Just in case the TV show "COPS" is riding with them I really need to be dressed for the part. Where's a skoal can?

Actually see yall in a few hours.

All I can say if you are on rollerblades and in a parrot costume....we need pictures!
