Of all the years, and all the shows.......I think last nights was the by far the best show I have ever been too!!

Last night's show ranks close to the Gulf Coast concert and Paris show. What an energetic crowd! Just wish more of my BN buddies could have been there too.

Great photos. Thanks for the link.

The Gulf show was good, but I think last nights was amazing. Hoping Tuesday's can be as good.

The Gulf Coast was really two shows. The first 1/2 was the live televised version used to make the sponsors happy. The second half well that Jimmy playin at a beach party with a bunch of friends.
Last night was AMAZING. It seemed that the show started a little slow and weak but then as the night went on the energy just kept growing and feeding upon itself until it reached a tumultuous crescendo.

Damn good show. I hope he doesn't make us wait 10 years again before the newt one.

It was the power of whatever was in Jimmy's red Solo cup.

And he was damn proud of sipping from that cup too!

Did you go to the Sheraton? Missed you if you did....and can you believe that none of those bartenders there know how to make a "loaded LandShark"?

You know what I think

I was @ the Sheraton. My traveling companions grew to include both my blind lawyer and an amazingly cool chick in a wheelchair so we just kind of stayed in the a hallway just off the atrium with me running a drink shuttle service back and forth for them. Once we got to the show I got everyone in their correct seats and then went back to the wild roller girl outside so she could smoke. Everything went swimmingly until we came back in and I stopped to speak to a guy from work and she kept going. We lost her for about 20 minutes. How I could lose a cute chick in a wheelchair inside the civic center made no sense to me. She was just in line to buy a T-shirt.
BUT I did learn something important to pass on to my friends here @ Buffett News from this experience. They had a beer trailer set up outside for the smokers. As America becomes a nation of fewer smokers fewer people are aware of this hidden, private beer sales unit. So there was no waiting in line. Just step outside walk up to it make your purchase and return to your seat.
And they say nothing good can come from smoking.

Wow all I can say I am very lucky. And I got to spend the day with some amazing phriends

That is a funny story, well, not at the time, but makes for a great story.
That has happened to me several times losing my mom in clothing stores....you just can't see them that low, and it crowds, forget it!

And just think what they get to look at all day at that level...

You must have been at the opposite end of the escalators and I walked the floor several times, not looking for you, but a blind lawyer. Sorry I missed you...next time!

I saw the remnants of that trailer when we exited out that door after the show. Dang, I wish I had known about it earlier!! I stood in line for ~15 minutes, just inside that door, not 25 feet away from that outside trailer. THEN, when I got to the table, they had just sold out of LS. Aarrgghhh!!

Great, great show. We took our 5yo for her first JB experience, and she loved it!!

ALWAYS glad to get that text knowing I was missed in the front row again!!
