"If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane!!"

April 18 was a great day in my book!! Jimmy Buffett came to Pizza Hut Park and I got to see him for the first time in 9 years!! What a great concert!

Misty decided she wanted to go to this concert, so she gets tickets and invites me to go. Who am I to say no? She also invites Rhonda and Gina, two coworkers who are fun, so it is shaping up to be a good group. We have two extra tickets and keep looking for two more people - we end up not finding anyone and enjoy having an entire row to ourselves to spread out and relax and enjoy the music.

Thanks to FB, I've reconnected with many friends - one being Marilyn, who I went to high school and college with. She's a riot and hasn't changed a bit since Ursuline. We've been talking a lot and discovered that we were both going to be going to the Buffett concert. We decide to tailgate - I'm excited!!!

I have one problem - we have to work our job fair from 8:30-12:30 that day. But we get it all worked out and we are ready to go.

Rhonda, Gina, and I meet Marilyn and Kim at about 3:30 to begin tailgating. Kim and Marilyn have created a beatiful place to tailgate - tent, chairs, grill for some cheeseburgers, etc. It's lovely! We open up the food, cook some cheeseburgers, and have a few drinks. Misty joins us later, as does Tex, his fiance, and his future sis-in-law. It's a lot of fun!! The weather was perfect!

We head over to Pizza Hut park about 6:45 to get ready for the show. We spent 45+ minutes in line trying to get into the show. It was crazy - we missed the first two songs. We get settled, the sun sets, and we enjoy Buffett - singing along, standing up, sitting down, just relaxing.

We were seated on the corner - one aisle went down to the field, the other one didn't. People would come down the aisle, realize they couldn't get on the field, then cut across our section to get there. People in our section were getting mad, but they were also being asses about it. Two guys got into a fight and the mighty Frisco PD had to come and break it up. They keep trading barbs and it wasn't until like halfway through the show that all the assholes left and we could enjoy the music!

I heard the two songs I needed to be happy: "Fruitcakes" and "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes." After the concert, we headed to IHOP for a post-concert snack (us and like 50 other parrotheads!!) and then went home.

It was an awesome, yet exhausting day!! Long live Buffett!!
