Re: Who's NOT going to the 2012 MOTM?
So glad to see I'm not alone in missing MOTM..........breathe in, breathe out, we'll all be fine!

On most days I say: "Wrinkles only go where the smiles have been...."
Sometimes I can only say: "There is no dumbass vaccine......"
If something or someone gets you down, just remember: "In a hundred years it all won’t matter.........."

I went 5 years in a row. I haven't gone the last 5 years. I plan on making 2012 the 6th year in a row I don't go.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here

Yes absolutely. Like Larry, I'm not a big fan of ALL of the trop rock artists but the opportunity to see the one's I DO like and hang out with friends I only see once or twice a year is the reason I go. I've been 4 out of the last 5 years and each year seems to get better. The only one I missed was to go to St Barts for the Le Select 60th anniversary.
Usually there are shows where you can see some of the CRB on their own and that's always a treat. The food is good, the environment funky and, after all, it's where it all started.

Not in the cards for us this year. We will be partying on the beach Sunday night at the 8th Annual Miramar Beach Burn! You'll probably be able to see the flames from our bonfire in KW. After that, we cruise to Aruba on the Nov. 10th.

Re: Who's NOT going to the 2012 MOTM?
Define worthwhile. The 5 times I went I had a good time but I have to say, it was a little less fun each time. I'm a Buffett fan, not a trop rock fan. I don't like trop rock that much because, and I know I'm in the minority here, in my opinion most trop rock artists just aren't very good. Your, and others', mileage may vary. To me, it isn't worthwhile spending the amount of money you have to spend to get to and stay in Key West for MOTM because I don't want to see most of the artists that are performing there and I don't want to hear 20 cover versions of Margaritaville or Cheeseburger In Paradise or Come Monday or, well, you get my drift. And to go because there's a chance Jimmy may show up? He showed up 2 of the 5 times I went and he played pretty much the same songs he plays at all the shows.Bfan53again wrote:Never having been to MOTM, Larry, can you tell me is it worthwhile to attend at least once in a lifetime?????LIPH wrote:I went 5 years in a row.

Re: Who's NOT going to the 2012 MOTM?
Not going.
I haven't been in a few years, but it is more fun than you can imagine. Thousands of like-minded friends, GREAT music, sub-tropical weather, fantastic food.....what more could you want ? I will definitely make an effort to go sometime in the future because it is SO worth it, even though it is kind of expensive. In past years, I've saved money so I wouldn't have to worry about the cost, expecially the liquor bills.
I'm gonna be watching all the Key West webcams and looking for all my friends from BN.

I'd rather go to Vegas.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Having been both places, KW just seems a better destination. Vegas is nice to see, but it didn't feel right (well, except for the trip to In' N' Out Burgeraeroparrot wrote:I'd rather go to Vegas.

True, however, I like Key West when it's not crowded like it is during MOTM.RinglingRingling wrote:Having been both places, KW just seems a better destination. Vegas is nice to see, but it didn't feel right (well, except for the trip to In' N' Out Burgeraeroparrot wrote:I'd rather go to Vegas.)

it's too quiet that way.

Or FF....I couldn't believe the amount of people there last year. But I will need to find someone to pick me up a Margaritavile Halloween shirt.

Same here. And even during the non-MoTM time frame...
