Who Went to Great Woods 6/23/12 ?

[LIPH]

Had a wonderful day yesterday with the Buffett Family. I may not have gotten to chat with everyone I wanted to, but still enjoyed seeing each and everyone one of you...I had a totally relaxing day, which is what I've needed because of the past 2 months. DAVE, you're the best chef I've ever met, I think you need to publish a cook-book. Thank you and Barb for all the hard work you put into the event. The girls had a great time too (in case anyone couldn't tell).

Mo, always great to see you and the girls again. They even pretend to be paying attention when I talk to them.

Since my BN weekend is still going on, I want to take a moment to think about the weekend...
I soooo enjoyed the pool party the night before. It was great to just be able to kick back and have fun and only worry about what room is mine.

Dave, as was said before, you were awesome as always. I am glad no one complained. I am glad I got to eat and enjoy more than last time.

Tam, excellent job on the bar and the booze.

Mitch, joining you and Bets for Pirate is now in my top 3 Buffett moments.

Linda and Steve. Stunned!!! Love you guys. Thank you for making another top 3 moment for Buffett.

And lastly, I had an awesome time with my family. Unforgettable weekend to say the least. Can't wait to download the show!!

I'm glad we were in the right place at the right time!

Me as well. Too bad It's My Job isn't on the setlist this year

Your daughters are absolutely lovely.

But I guess you already heard that...from Jon.

Aloha GW Tailgate Friends! I just want you to know how much Mike and I appreciate the warm welcome we got from you guys. It is not easy to walk into a party where you don't know a soul, but everyone was so friendly and encouraging! What a special group of people you are. Shout out to Dave and Barb for the superb food that just kept coming! WOW! And to Tam for the wonderful hospitality of her tiki bar, including the excellent entertainment of Mike Miller's singing and playing. Tam, tell Sarah that she is the bomb! Thanks Lori & Jeff for taking us under your wing! Nancy, it was great to compare notes on Holmdel and Middletown! Tommy Bahama you are the man! Linda and Bob it was great talking to you, and I LOVED hanging with MacKenzie! Can't forget the hugs from Ravi! Meredith, I am counting on seeing you in AC, girl, so we will be in touch to exchange cell #'s. Mike and Irene, so nice to spend time with you, Betsy, keep up with the lint inspections LOL. Darren, I will be your Tabitha! And can't forget Kelly, the Goddess of Jenga! (Also Dan, the master of ceremonies of Jenga ..) Friday night @ Red Roof was almost as fun as GW. So many names and faces, right now it's hazy, but THANKS to all for a great first time! And if anyone is going to Atlantic City or Jones Beach, holla at your girl, cuz we will be there!

Colleen - great meeting you as well along with everyone else at the pool!
Thanks to Tam, Fu, Larry, the Carolina Dreamer family and everyone else we met for a great pre-party despite the rain.
Sorry if I missed anyone but it got a little hazy right after that bowl of Tonga which happened as soon as we hit the pool

Although we were close to the group in the lot, next year we're getting the 'latecomers' to the hotel earlier and going in with the BN group and doing it right!

Lastly, has anyone seen my liver? I may need it for next year...

[tigzoe]

Chip, I think your liver is hanging out with mine back at the parking lot. That is the last time I saw it.

You don't carry a spare liver like I do?

Chip -- So funny 'cuz after I posted that I remembered how much I enjoyed hanging with you and Donna (??? if i did not get that name right please blame it on the tonga ...) under the canopy in the rain. You were cracking me up! But thanks for remembering me!! Hope we get to see you guys again!

What a great weekend at Great Woods!! It was wonderful seeing all of you again. Special thanks to Dave and Barb for giving us a place to stay. We wouldn't have made it without you guys. Thanks so much!

The weekend started with a totally uneventful drive. . . it only took us about 6 and a half hours to get there (as opposed to the 9 and a half last year). No traffic at all. Same with the trip home.

Pre-concert party at the Red Roof was a lot of fun. Got to hang out with some really great people for a few hours. The BN people were ok too .We surprised a few by being the "secret guests". . . (possibly disappointed others, but if so they didn't tell us Thank you for that). I honestly think Tig might have been slightly surprised (mission accomplished?). Andrea had a nice welcome for me. . . "You a$$----" I still like her though, but I'm not sure why I think Lori And Debbie might have also been a little surprised to see us?

The tailgate. . . what can you say? Perfect weather, great food (thanks again to Dave at Gunther's Grill), great people, great show. So much fun to spend the day with all of you. We got to meet quite a few BN-ers we never met before and hang out with others who seem like they have been life-long friends. Special thanks to Tam, Chris, and Chef Dave for their hard work coordinating things. Thanks to Barb and Nancy for their waitressing (even though Nancy's service was a little slow and rude Nice meeting you Nancy!)

I've picked on a few of you, but in all seriousness....the Great Woods Buffettnews Contingent is amazing! If anyone ever wonders if it's worth it to make the trip. . .IT IS! Do it! You will be welcomed and treated like family.

Only about 365 days give or take until we can do it all again!

I am still a big screen virgin. This must be rectified in Tampa.
