I wonder if you have to be registered for the convention to be able to purchase the JB tickets?

Got my tickets!! Now to figure out what I do in the Food Service field. The possibilities for this show could mean everything from Jimmy solo acoustic, to Jimmy and Mac, or Jimmy with the Coral Reefers.

You have to, it's $30.00. I wasn't able to just sign up for the after show concert. I have always wanted to see Jimmy in Florida and this just happens to fit my schedule.

I think it means North American Association of Food Equipment Manufacturers, or something like that.

The nice thing about the tailgate party is the unlimited supply of cooking equipment that will be available

You mean it's not the North American Federation of Excellent Margaritas?

THANK YOU, PENNY.
I WANTED to ask, but I knew if I did, my post would wither on the vine.

From the BN page:
Margaritaville comes to The NAFEM Show. Parrotheads unite! Jimmy Buffett headlines the All-Industry Celebration (AIC), Saturday, Feb. 9, at the Orange County Convention Center. Leave your formal wear at home and pack your Hawaiian shirt for this casual, closing networking event.
Purchase your tickets for $175 each when registering for the show. Book travel and hotel accommodations to stay until Sunday, Feb.10.

Ok got the details, you do have to register for the show, then purchase a ticket for the concert/reception. It sounds like its going to be just jimmy doing an acoustic set. It's a strange way to see jimmy, but I am looking forward to it. I doubt it will top my memories in Pittsburgh and manassas, but who knows?

Sorry, I live on the Space Coast... Think I'll wait for a REAL Buffett Show at Amway Centre, or Ford Ampitheather in Tampa. Can't imagine an accoustic set with restaurant types in a ballroom... NO BUENO !!!
