Parrotheads!

I’m such a party animal! On Saturday we went to the Jimmy Buffett concert in Irvine. I had originally bought 4 lawn seats for Matt, Tracy, her boyfriend and myself. Well, on Thursday my favorite sister called and offered me 2 VIP passes and tickets in the orchestra section. I took them and ditched Tracy and Anton. See, my sister is the greatest! Back to Saturday…we picked Tracy and Anton up and headed for the concert around 2:00. We were told the parking lot would not open until 3, but we tried anyways. Sure enough they were turning everyone away at the gate saying they don’t officially open until 3, but may open a little earlier. We circled around once and by the time we got back to the gate, they were open. There were motorhomes and cars lined up along all the side streets waiting to get in. The Irvine police were out in force busting all the Parrotheads for drinking on the sidewalks! Fun times! We were lucky because the people parked next to us had a tiny car and left right away for motorhome parking. This gave us plenty of space to sprawl our Buffett gear out. Then the party began. Tracy thought ahead and made the boys some silly signs. We drank, drank and drank some more. I made some amazing Jell-o shooters! I think I am officially a Jell-o shooting professional. So, between the Jell-o shots and beers, we were all feeling pretty good. We walk around a little to see what was up in the motorhome section. But I think we had just as much fun and excitement at our own tailgate. Anton made chicken tacos on our mini grill that were amazing. Shortly after we headed inside for the show. I think I’m forgetting some aspects of the evening…but it’s to be expected since I was so intoxicated! The show was a ton of fun. We didn’t sit down the entire show. Matt bought me a tiny $7 beer, of which I spilt shortly after 2 sips. Oops… There are a few things I can't mention because as Tracy put it they are "too incriminating"! We will be doing this again next year fo sho!

We dressed the part...

And Matt handed out his salty nuts...
