Buffett is in town today for his summer cool tour 2009. I am a huge Jimmy Buffett fan and over the years have probably seen over 15 shows live.
Unfortunately I will not be attending this year's show for two reasons. Number one is ticket prices, they are Outrageous and I already sold a kidney to attend this year's Stanley cup finals….
But the main reason is , as a person with quadriplegia I am unable to regulate my body temperature. I cannot be outside in the heat very long before my body rebels. I have difficulty breathing and it’s just not worth it. The last Jimmy Buffett concert I went to was at PNC Park and the temperatures were in the nineties. I had to leave halfway through the concert because I thought I was going to die.
The great thing about Jimmy Buffett concerts is they are a carnival atmosphere, everyone is there to have a good time and a good time is had by all. I have never seen any trouble or fights at a concert, just people including myself limboing (RECLINE feature on wheelchair) and sharing jello shots.
Another cool thing about the concerts is they are broadcast live on the Internet for free! So tonight I will be in my air conditioning possibly drinking a Malibu rum and coke, glued to my computer listening for " a pirate looks at 40" you can too by going to margaritaville its just one click away to a new Latitude !

wow...I never knew they were shown free online! I think I'm gonna have to check this out tonight!! I love Buffett.
And I'm pretty impressed that your chair has a recline position that allows you to limbo away!!! That's a pretty sweet feature!
I beg to differ about never seeing a fight at one of those concerts. If you remember the first one you went to at what was then Star Lake and the two guys sitting in front of us on the lawn who started to fight and you stepped in just before I got it right in the face . . .
K.
uh oh.....lol there goes that theory huh?? hehehe
question Greg. Actually, I'm gonna beg here....is there any way you can get me a copy of the Sports Illustrated that is being distributed in Pittsburgh? They have the silly Lakers on the ones up here in NY....you would think since NY is a lot closer to PA than CA, we'd get the special edition, but noooo. Darn it! If you can get me one, let me know and I'll send you a check for it! Thanks!!!! PS...just think, it's only 4 months until hockey season starts!!! hehehehe
I forgot about that!
