I will go ahead and admit it here. I’m a Parrothead.
It happened about 8 years ago when Heath and I first visited Margaritaville in Orlando, Florida.
I was instantly hooked. The music, the food, the laid-back atmosphere. What’s not to love?
I started listening to more and more of Jimmy Buffet’s music. It’s a great escape and fun to sing along. Yet some of his songs are very soothing.
I’ve bought his t-shirts, read his books and drank some LandShark.
Seeing Jimmy Buffet in concert was on my Bucket List. It had to happen! Every year I would see where he was going on tour (East, Coast, West Coast, Florida!) and whine about how he doesn’t come to the Midwest.
I needed to see him. And well, he’s 64. Was it going to happen?
Finally, I heard news that Jimmy Buffet was coming to St. Louis last summer! I was SO thrilled!
Heath and I went, arriving around 4pm to tailgate for an 8pm concert.
The parking lot was a HUGE party! Drinking, BBQing, dancing, games and more!
Paradise for a Parrothead.
Jimmy is back in town tonight and we are going!
I was in line the day that tickets went on sale. I was the 4th person in line, hoping to get actual seats and not just in the lawn. Seats sold out in TWO minutes!
So we are sitting in the lawn, but I’m happy with that! It will be one giant party!
Any readers out there Parrotheads?
Hi!

Hello!
Thanks for stopping by! 😉
TWO minutes?!?! How is that even possible when you were right there in line?!? What injustice!! 🙂 Have fun though – I’ve never been to his concerts but we love visiting the Margaritaville restaurant out here in Glendale, AZ. It’s so much fun! (and the nachos are the bomb!)
Isn’t that crazy? Everyone in line with me were in shock!
I’m jealous you have a Margartiaville nearby! :-p
Jimmy Buffet concerts are the BEST fun in the world! It’s been a few years since I last went and I really need to make it the next time he comes around.
Yes, you must!!! Since his er…age…I’m making sure I go to as many as I can, LOL!
The internet folks got you! Some people get deals through their credit card companies to get tickets early. And sometimes the online sales start BEFORE the advertised “on sale” time/date. But at least you’re there and getting to see him!
Wooohooo lets hear it for buffet. I am a new follower coming from https://linkiescontestlinkies.blogspot.com
Hope to have a new follower.

How was the concert? I hope you guys had a great time!
I have never been much of a concert fan. The thought of watching someone sing for two to three hours just doesn’t appeal to me. That said, I went to a Jimmy Buffet concert when I was 21 (it was one of my first concerts ever) and I had a great time! I would definitely go see him again if I had the chance.
And btw…we will be having margaritas at Margaritaville when you’re here in September!
Heck, yeah I’m a FLorida girl after all. Party , chill and have a Blast.
I didn’t realize he was 64! I’m going to have to go see him soon!
