Well...it is raining today..if you are on the lawn be prepared for a mud slide, and i'm not talking the drink!
Well, we are back, had a great time but are still recovering.
Boy you ain't kidding about the mud part. I'm getting a little old for the "mosh pit" thing myself but it is where all the wild stuff is going on. Here's to hoping the mud was being made by water and not other, less desirable liquids!
The heavier rain held off till the end of the concert so it wasn't really all that bad. We actually got the wettest leaving the concert. The water off the pavilion roof dumps right on the main exit we took. I'd love to meet the Architect who designed that cluster and give him/her a swirly of their own.
Really liked the Tweeter center as a concert venue. You got your typical, no heads in the parking area, hard time getting drinks or taking a leak inside the concert area, etc but other than those normal hassles, its a nice setup.
Our tailgate decor was minimal since we were not sure tailgating was even allowed and had a six hour drive. Others who lived closer and who knew better, were in full tilt boogie parrotheaded, margaritavillan, Buffett decor, tailgating mode. The Tweeter Center absolutely, positively, beyond a doubt, allows tailgating at a Buffett concert FYI.
Other than decor, we had the necessary victuals and libation to properly grease the skids for the concert. Buffett was great as usual. He played a good mix of old and new stuff or as the guy in front of me was sure i was aware of about twenty times, he played "old school & new school", lol...enough already dude.
Some high/low points ...........
I'm pretty sure we witnessed the conception of a new parrothead several people in front of us. Hope you don't get random drug tested in the next month of so due to the contact high that was likely achieved without trying. Try not to touch anything in the weeds in the tailgate area. Try not to touch anything in the concert area, emphasis on the beach balls being tossed around, it might not be water that made the mud on the ball. But the main point, Buffett most definately still rocks!
A great time was had by all! I'll try to post some pics later if my camera still works when i drain the cheeseburger, water and corona out of it.
