Southern Cross

For the third year in a row since moving to DFW, Dave and I spent a day with Parrotheads from around the country. We arrived in Frisco at Pizza Hut Park, around 1:30, wishing we'd gotten there sooner. We quickly pulled out our tailgating provisions--pop-up pavilion, chairs, hammock, table, grill, cooler, cooler, decorations--all the necessities for a great afternoon of relaxing. Jimmy Buffett fans are the best in the world. Everyone is friendly and in a good mood. We befriended the people parked next to us--it was their first time to a show--and invited them to join in our tailgate. While we had a lot with us, there are some who are pros when it comes to headin' out to Buffett.


A shot of some of the tailgating in the main parking lot. We weren't early enough to get in here.

Happy Parrotheads.




Sharks are schooling. . . Monkeys like to crowd surf.

The reason we came . . . to hear (and see this year) Jimmy Buffett. (View the set list by clicking here.)


We did have to miss Princess Peyton's Pink birthday party, but we recorded this for the Brown Eyed Girl. One day, she'll appreciate it.




Buffett finished the show with his rendition of Dylan's Rainy Day Women #12 and 35.

We had a great time and are looking forward to next year. Dave has already bought a Jolly Ranger flag off of ebay today for our tent next year.
