I agree, Nancy! It was the most phabulous time ever, the only thing that could have made it better was if more BN phriends could have been there. LOVED seeing our tire swing and MJM on the big screen! Can't figure out where my smilies are on this ipad, but
I missed MJM on the big screen! So bummed!
I was dealing with truck drama (some of you know that my husband locked himself out of his truck just before the concert and had to wait on a locksmith to come and let him in so he missed part of the show - during CILCIA, I was busy directing him to our lawn location so he could join us and missed the parking lot cam!
...I come down to talk to me...when the coast is clear...
Thought I'd mention that I brought my dad's old Volcano 8-track tape on the OFF chance that Jimmy might autograph it from my 4th row seat in Dallas tonight... and HE DID!!!!
The show was over, Jimmy was saying goodnight, and I held up my tape with Sharpie attached. He looked at me and shouted, "8 track?! Whoa!", shocked that anyone might still own one.
So cool!!! This is definitely going on my rock shrine in my home.
Fins up, y'all. And to y'all good night.
I think I got a photo of that, I'll have to check. Last photo that I took at the show. Jimmy had signed something palm sized and tossed it back to the crowd. If it's clear enough I'll try to post it in a day or so after I unpack.
Cheers,

Yep, I checked my photos and you are soooo going to LOVE the pic of Jimmy holding your 8 track. It couldn't have come out any better. I also got a nice screen capture of the crowd photo showing Junior Mint in the tire swing and a full video of the the Levon Helm tribute. Now how do I post stuff like this. Photo bucket or BuffettNews or something?? Not familiar with loading files to any of these? Any directions/suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers,

I used Photobucket and then just post a link here. About to do that, in fact, once the upload finishes. Others use Flickr, Snapfish, etc.
Any image hosting service will do. That's the easiest way.

I do agree with everyone on the board what a great Hoot Island
Thanks to everyone that made the day happen
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up,totally worn out, and proclaiming,
“Wow, what a ride!!!”
It was so great to see everyone again!! I agree with what everyone else said about the weather and the food. Concert was so much fun!! Jimmy seemed really happy!! I think it is great that you one of our own got a tape autographed and Jr. Mint made the big screen! How wonderful that John actually got pictures of both!! What an amazing group of people. Those that weren't there you were missed (and yes, we talked about you!!) Can't wait for Hoot Island III
Thanks again to everyone that help make this one possible!!
Ditto....HI 2 was great... Without a doubt the best place to be in the parking lot yesterday ... Lot of nice shade thanks to the lovely location and the EZ ups that were brought.... And no way that anyone could go hungry .... Or thirsty ... What a phabulous group... I think I sat for a total of 10 minutes. . And that is ok by me because I was having a blast..... And winning upgrade seats after we entered the venue... That rocked as well. Also I loved 'All Night Long'. Way better than I expected.... Peters part in the song was awesome! Can't wait until the next phlocking!!!! Almost home after a nice day of golf at Tenison Highlands Course and dinner and fun at Top Golf in Dallas.
WHAT A BLAST!! I loved it all, the really BIG tree, the tire swing, the golf cart rides, the food everyone brought to share, the drinks, but most of all the BN friends who all came together and made this possible!
Special thanks to Nancy and Linda for taxi service to and from the airport, and securing tickets.
Thank you Nancy for the trip to In-N-Out...OMG! A flashback to the late 70's in So. CA!
So delicious. And thanks to Micheal for pulling navigator to we could get there!
Thanks to Diane, Ginger and Patrick for securing The Island for us.
Oh and thanks JC for my newest addiction, bacon infused vodka and OJ!!
Danny and Lori, for hauling the tables, tire swing and best PHARMAIDE this side of the Mississippi! And Danny for the afternoon of the loaded landsharks.
Terry and the best meatloaf for all those sammys, Molly and her awesome cookies and decoration queen of the PP huts!
Auntie and her special autographed KK hats and pulling PP hut security duty!!

Dear Officer Frankie:
A HUGE thank you for being such a good guy to all of us on Hoot Island. Thursday was a long day, but boy, was it phun (that's the way parrotheads spell something that begins with an 'f').
Everyone at our Hoot Island II celebration sang your praises. In fact, all of the officers who stopped by Thursday were just top rate.
[Insert your own message to Officer Frankie here]
Thanks, again, from everyone at Hoot Island.
Your pal,
Gentilly ... 42 years is a long time to wait .... a Northeast Texas woman can hope.
My love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain.
Posting things as they come to me during unpacking ...
A HUGE shout out to Patrick and Chad for taking this old woman on the parking lot tour (got so much swag on that run) ... and for being so sweet to take me to and from the show.
There's no way I could have done it without ya'll.
Hoot Island II: A perfect paradise.

Home safe and sound. I miss y'all already. There's just "something" about my Texas peeps.
Hoot Abby was INDEED the Princess of Hoot Island II. (I am Auntie and I have spoken)
I soooo wish Becky could have been there phor "Cowboy in the Jungle." LOVE "Swingin' Hula Man." LOVED "All Night Long" so much (not a phan of the radio version).

Y'all are all do precious and dear to me. ((((My Texas Peeps)))

Did you get my Hoot Island badge autographed????
OH GOD YES!
