Mon Soon Come

    Scott’s prayers have been answered.  Margaritaville Rum has been sighted in our area—but it was Mike who spotted it.
    Here’s Mike’s slightly live report from his neighborhood Meijer’s…

“M’ville Rum at Meijer!!”

“My Meijer M’ville shopping spree.  Notice the new ‘Extra Thick Restaurant Style’ chips.”

Dustin

    Listener Jon clued us in, back on Monday, that the comic strip Dustin was doing a whole, week-long series on parrotheads.  Or more specifically, middle-aged parrotheads.  Here are all five panels (from July 26 to July 30).
    Update: we uploaded too quickly, forgetting about the Saturday strip.  Here’s the newly-corrected, complete run:

    As a middle-aged parrothead, I frankly don’t see the humor in this.

News From the Front

    Back home from another great Buffett show at Pine Knob.  Here are a few images from our amazing Row A seats.  I shot some video too but the quality is quite poor (my phone is two years old); I at least used it for the freeze-frames of Bret Michaels surprise duet on “Margaritaville” and when Jimmy came by us at the end of the show.  The pictures have been upload to our Photo Gallery, or you can also check them out at my Flickr page or my Mobile Me gallery.

Pier 500 Parrot Head Cruise

    Just back from tonight’s Parrot Head cruise, up and down the Detroit River.  This was what we were talking about back in Episode 127, the cruise where Mike’s brother Jim (the singer of our theme song) was going to perform acoustic versions of Buffett songs.  I shot video, recorded some audio, and also shot some photos with my cellphone.  Some notable highlights included a pole dance to “Changes in Latitudes” — which I’m pretty sure has to be a world-record, history-making first — and that the drawing for the free concert tickets was won by our very own Schmoe!
    After Mike’s news from two weeks ago, it’s almost getting to the point where we have more tickets than we know what to do with!  ...Not really, but close.  And not that we’re complaining.
    Hopefully I’ll be uploading the video soon, but until then here are the cellphone pictures, which I uploaded to our Photo Gallery.
    Update: here’s the video .
