Welcome To Fin Land Keeps Going & Going & Going

Jimmy Buffett Welcome to Fin land

Jimmy Buffett's "Welcome To Fin Land" tour keeps going through the early part of 2012. Is it me, or does this tour seem to be going on forever? I went to the "Welcome To Fin Land" in West Palm Beach last year, it was great show, but it was last year. Now we hear of new tour dates popping up every week for this tour. Don't artists normally call the next year's tour something different? Sell some … [Read more...]

The Mexican Cutie Cocktail, How It Got Here I Might Have A Clue

After one sip, you'll be saying "Uno mas porfavor!" Man am I thirst. After the all day Carl Grooms Rumologist party we had last Saturday, rum and even a cold beer just didn't sound good. Today is Wednesday, Boat Drinks day, and now everything sounds good. Jumping off the wagon! I saw that our friend Carl didn't win the Tommy Bahama Rumologist contest. Congrats to the winner Jack Terry, all … [Read more...]

Trying To Reason With Hurricane Season – An Eye On Irene

It looks like Irene is going to be storm to keep an eye on. I've heard that our friends in the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico took a lashing from Irene yesterday and last night. I hope everything is okay with everyone there. I'm not one to stir the drama pot, and don't think Irene is going to be too much of a concern, but when you're home sits in the middle of the cone of probability, or … [Read more...]

Tripping Over Shrimpboat Sound, Jimmy Buffett’s Key West Studio

We were walking form Duval down Caroline Street, took a left down another street to get to the marina to jump on a sunset cruise and there it was. Everyone else in our group walked right by this unassuming building, but my buddy JR and I  stopped right in our tracks. What could make us do that? How about a little Buffett magic. There it stood, Shrimpboat Sound, Jimmy Buffett's recording studio … [Read more...]

A Bikini Model, A Buffett Concert and Plenty of Rum

If that headline didn't grab you I don't know what will. Poke with a sharp stick maybe. Our tailgating friends over at Conch Republic Bikini posted their description of the shenanigans that transpired at the West Palm Beach Jimmy Buffett tailgating party.

Jimmy Buffett West Palm Beach Concert Review

Jimmy Buffett Tailgating

Thousands of parrotheads pulled into West Palm Beach Saturday, all looking for that "One Particular Harbor". They gathered in the parking lots hours before showtime, building make shift tiki bars and sharing "Boat Drinks". Not a stranger in sight.

A Pirate Heads North

Today I head north. It's going to be cold. It's going to be gray. Chance of snow...highly likely. This warm blooded Florida boy isn't all to thrilled with this trip to Kansas, but it will be good to spend some time with the family this holiday season. I love the fact that I'm from Kansas. It really has a lot to offer. It just doesn't have year round warm temperatures, white sand beaches and … [Read more...]

Right Time, Right Place. A Moment With A Hero

Right time, right place. Looking back at some of your fondest memories, can you recall a memory when you shared a special moment with a hero? I know heroes come in all shapes, sizes and professions. I'm talking about musical heroes here. I was combing through the overwhelming video library that is YouTube, searching for random Caribbean clips. All the sudden, I found myself staring starry eyed … [Read more...]
