I would have to say years ago when we attended our first concert we were in no way prepared. No food, drinks, chairs costumes, anything. We have definitely grown since then! Every year we have more stuff, better costumes and more and more fun!!

My first concert was valentines day 2002 while i was in college at fsu. All I had was a small jug of margaritas and a six pack of corona. Last week in Jacksonville I had a tailgate complete with a beach and a margarita dispenser. It is amazing what 10 years, money, and 5 other Buffett concerts will do.

Ha! "Lessons Learned", my friend, oui?
Thanks for sharing! Made me laugh . . .

Wait!

First-Timer clueless, with a REALLY bad realization that just hit: as a sweet petite, 5'1" if I stretch, and everyone's standing during the concert, I'm only going to see the backs of the people in front of me. Won't see the stage or Jimmy or CRB!

What . . . pack-in a step ladder?!

Saw Mac last week at an art thing & asked his Words of Wisdom on my first JB Concert next Sat. He said the music may be coming from the stage, but the show and entertainment is 360º - be sure to take it in, all around ya!
Touché, my cool dude. Will do.
