Hi There!
New member here to the forum. Going to my FIRST JB show in Mansfield, MA 6/18. Very excited! Getting the tailgating list together as we speak. As a first-timer or virgin, if you will, any tips I need to know about? What time to arrive, parking, etc., etc.? Bringing hubby along for his first show as well.
Seems like you all have way too much fun on here....I love it!
PS...gotta figure out this avatar thing, can't seem to get it to work...grrr!

Hi and welcome aboard. Your best bet for information on the Great Woods concert would be to check the Who's going to thread located here....

Hey there swizzlestick!
Welcome to the friendliest Jimmy Buffett resource I know of!
Cool to have some first timers (virgins they are called here) among the GW crowd!
This will be my second JB show, the first open air, and the first in the USA. (and my first trip to the USA at all, that is...)
So our experience may be quite similiar I guess, I'd consider me being a 'virgin' too...
In case this is your first trip to the Boston area, there's some information here:
viewtopic.php?f=38&t=85706
And if you happen to be in the area Friday already maybe have a look here as well:
viewtopic.php?f=33&t=85645
Looking forward to meeting you in Mansfield in less than one month's time!
Edit to add:
Oops, just found out you live 'near' Boston...
