Wasted away again
Here's my vantage point for the long-awaited Jimmy Buffett shows at Wrigley Field over the weekend. As you may be able to see, Jimmy is a tiny dot somewhere next to those gigantic screens.
Now, I like Jimmy Buffett, but I am not what you would call a Parrotthead. We met some of those at the greatest bar ever, The Blarney Stone. One guy handed us a quiz entitled "RU A Parrothead?" While not getting into why I dislike such shortenings as "RU," I am definitely not a parrothead because I got one question right, and that was about "Brown Eyed Girl," which is not even a Jimmy Buffett song.
But who am I to complain? Buffett is about a few things: fun, drinking, summer, and not giving a shit about anything. Sure, some may call Jimmy a surfer-philosopher or something, but I am not buying that. "Margaritaville," while somewhat wistful and introspective, is no "Hey Jude." And, a Buffett show is guaranteed fun.
The day begain with drinking. Drinking in ridiculous outfits. And more drinking. We drank at the park. And then we all passed out.
That, friends, is what Jimmy Buffett is about. And, I am proud to say, it's our own damn fault.

I had a damn good time as well! Your seat must have been close to mine because I had close to the same view (except I was under the sky boxes). I have yet to recover -- maybe it is because I don't nap.

What a fun weekend!!! I'm glad we all made it out alive. And Christy- remember no kicking of your legs in bars while drunk. :-)
