I think we may see more announcements for casinos/restaurants/resorts, etc. this year than concert dates. :wink:

I remember something our old friend Bwana Paul posted and it took me a little bit of time to find it, but apparently Buffett's had a change of heart in the last 3 years.

What's funny about that post is you have a mix bag of comments from phans. Some are like "three is enough." Others say " man, I wish he built one in my town." (Those are not direct quotes lol). I guess it just depends how you look at it.

For me, I always have a blast at any Mville I've ever been to. I literally feel like its JB Concert Day every time I hang in one. And hell that's why I've been to over 20 JB shows because of that feeling.

I guess it depends who you ask and thats totally cool. for me, if there not hurting anyone why not? Lots of worse things in the world.

Fins up!
One Love!

for what little my opinion might be worth:

it jumped the shark when Jimmy tied in with the casino boys and they put up the one in Vegas. Prior to that, they were places that had ties to his history. They were beach places. after that, they were about bringing in yellow-album tools to swill down overpriced drinks and prepackaged servings of food. Haven't set foot in any other than Orlando, KW, and on the one trip west, Vegas. I'll be sticking with the non-casino-affiliated ones, if and when I go. This is just another nail in the coffin of the idea of Margaritaville.

He has said many times that when he couldn't get a job, he could count on TEXAS.
And yet, there are no Mvilles here.

Yellow album tools? You gotta relax man. For the past 10 years I have been bringing my friends (yellow album tools) to JB concerts for their company and it became a yearly event. Just because people are not die hard, buffett orthodox fans doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to grab an over priced beer in Vegas.

I respect your opinion but was really offended by your comment. JB shows are about the day. Friends, family, and great times!

Molly, during the tailgate at the Little Rock show last year Lori, Danny and I were talking to the Margarillas. They said there was going to be a Margaritaville in Texas. They didn't say where, but they said there would be one.
