Welcome to

 

 

Every year, the Parrot Head Duffers and friends start the Jimmy Buffett weekend with a Saturday party at Suzanne and Paul's house.  (Frank's Daughter and son-in-law)  This year, we had a hockey game on Jimmy Buffett Eve, so Beak and Mike were the only Duffers that had the stamina needed to party 2 nights in a row.  Hit man, T&A and Terry met us at the Concert. The party started in the yard at 12:00 O'clock, 3 hours later, the party moved on to a Tailgate Party.  We were blessed with 90 degree weather.  In past years, we sweated in 1999, we froze at the October 2001 concert and we were soaked with rain at 2 other concerts, so we really enjoyed this hot day.  Richard Roeper did a great job describing last year's concert. Bob Gendron, posted a good description of the 2010 concert in the Tribune

We met a guy with an Uncle Bob hat who makes artificial hips.  He had a hot girl friend who became friends with Beak after he gave he some TLC when she took a punch that was meant for her boy friend.

Wearing a Hawaiian shirt, the grinning, Patrick Kane grabbed a tambourine as Buffett performed "Boat Drinks" and footage of the winger's championship-winning goal aired on projection screens.

Blackhawks star Patrick Kane made an onstage appearance at the Jimmy Buffett concert on Sunday night at Toyota Park.

He walked out hoisting the Stanley Cup trophy and soon thereafter traded it in for a tambourine, and then played wing for Buffett. Not bad, either. Check out the FULL VIDEO HERE.
