[quote="ScarletB"]Maybe we should start posting on the Margarillas FB page - they're always so cheerful about the tour. Maybe the word would get back that the fans are getting restless and their money is going elsewhere.[/quote]


OK, I gave it a shot.. they ain't budging:

me: Any idea when the summer tour dates will be announced? A lot of Parrothead's summers on hold until we know! Fins UP!!!

Margarillas Response: You think your summer's on hold? We're still hoping to be employed by then


Was worth a try!

well at least they have a sense of humor.
Not to put a negative spin out there, but if we remember correctly last year the west coast kept waiting n waiting.
Do you think with this messed up scheduke JB is putting out that he might actually take the summer off and skip the east coast summer dates.
Then start up again in the fall n continue to vegas n maybe back east to indoor shows like Mohegan or MSG and the like.
Somebody did say they wanted rumors!!!

Thanks for sharing! I've said this before, I've almost ceased caring except for all the out of town folks I won't see. Our NE group can always gather for a Cape weekend.

Interesting response from the Margarillas! "still hoping to be employed"??? Why wouldn't they be employed? Maybe if there was no summer tour???? I've heard that talk before........

It's been about ten days since a date has been announced. Should we be worried? I'm getting tired of checking the website and finding zilch.

We were thinking it was the mid-end of March last year when the WTF tour dates started coming out for the east coast area.....

It was March 16th when Alpine was finally confirmed last year, Nancy. I remember you bumping my request up for me! I don't think your show was confirmed much earlier.

Could happen. Look at George Strait; just goes out for a few weeks in the late winter/early spring.

Last night (Louisville) was pretty clearly Ilo's last day on the job with JB, at least for a while. (Paraphrasing: Thanks to Ilo and the boys for being on the tour and good luck wherever life takes you next.)

i doubt he would skip the east......most of his fan base is east coast down through Florida.

A friend of mine and were talking about this over breakfast today. He works for a local radio station and although this station (WFNX) is not known for playing Buffett style music they do have numerous affiliations with vendors/concert management at numerous venues/and unreleased press information. He admits he knows nothing for certain but it is interesting that this year is far different from any other year for how Jimmy Buffett and his staff are approaching their tour. It does seem possible that Jimmy Buffett is now going to schedule more lengthy tours that last for however long (like how WTF Tour is apparently not ending) and will not necessarily result in predictable annual dates for the common venues he has been known to play.

Jon, after our "conversation" yesterday on the GW thread, I frankly don't care, we can organize our own fun if we need to. I'm willing to bet that some of the out of towners would actually make the trip anyway.

I'm with you. Imagine what 15 - 20 of us could do if we each pooled the 150$ we shell out to Jimmy?

Jimmy should do a YouTube video where he announces all the shows at once. That way everybody will know what's going on.

Wait. Nevermind......

Maybe since he's out west, and his management office is out west , and he doesn't play till the 8th. Just maybe they will brainstorm , dot the i's cross the t's, and finalize the tour in the next couple of days. Then , announce by weeks end.
