Good Night, Irene

On M’ville.com

Original rumors suggested the venue was Chene Park, which is a great location but way too small. The news that it’s at West Riverfront Park makes more sense … and also means, despite our usual preference, it will be entirely Lawn.
Update: The Detroit Free Press posted an online article too,

Parrothead Tailgate (Comerica Park 2014)

Our 2014 tailgating video has been edited and uploaded. It’s longer than usual but this year I had more time to walk around and catch the sights…

Update: D’oh! Stupid presets ruined the audio on the YouTube version (during the concert bits). For a while, I covered that up here with the Vimeo version, but I’ve since uploaded a revised version. That’s the one you can play above. The Vimeo version is included just for the heck of it. (The original version has been marked as Private, and will probably be deleted soon. (Sorry, Listener Mat. Your kind comment will have to go with it.)

My photos of last night’s concert have been uploaded to Flickr. Video from the tailgate might be edited soon; but in the meantime, here’s a write-up from today’s Detroit Free Press:

The Detroit Free Press’s “Play” section has several Buffett mentions today, promoting this Saturday’s concert at Comerica Park…

Normally we’d put these Buffett mentions at the end of a podcast episode, but this one’s a bit too visual. Here’s a clip from Tuesday’s The Colbert Report (July 15 2014):

Mike: Where the hell is ‘Margaretville’?
Schmoe: Where Jimmy Buffet lives, I bet.

Just discovered this has been sitting on my DVR since Saturday, May 3. It was aired during Saturday Night Live. As with last year’s, it’s a standard-def ad, which I resized to remove the window-box matting.

Comerica Park Parrothead Tailgate 2013

At last, we’ve edited last year’s video footage for this little snapshot of tailgating outside the 2013 concert at Comerica Park, Detroit MI. Recorded Saturday, July 20, you can see many of the things we discussed in Episodes 178 and 179: our steak and lobster lunch, the limo ride, drunk chicks, the glitter stand, the confetti cannon, and the Jackson Browne fan next to Mike’s wife.

Update (May 3): I discovered an unfortunate flash cut in the video, which I’ve removed. I also tweaked a couple other shots, and the above video has been replaced with the revised one.
Also, the video is also available on our Vimeo page. I haven’t decided if it looks better or not, but you can judge for yourself below:
