Jimmy Buffett Hollywood Bowl Only Of Mild Interest To This Parrothead

No Pre-Party Tailgating Just Part Of The Problem

When Jimmy Buffett announced he and the Coral Reefer Band would be playing the Hollywood Bowl as part of his 2015 tour, friends of mine automatically assumed I would be warming up my fingers to try and be the first to get on Ticketmaster the second tickets go on sale.

But not really.

Sure, Buffett hasn’t been here to Los Angeles in several years (2009 if memory serves me correctly; geez has it been THAT long!?). And he’s playing an iconic venue.

But something about the Hollywood Bowl doesn’t mix well with Buffett. For starters, there’s nowhere for Parrotheads to party before the show.

Then there’s the matter of, if you happen to score seats down low (and we did the last time Buffett played the Bowl in the mid-90s) that the season ticket holders get angry at you because of course we are standing up singing and dancing the whole time. They are there with their wine and cheese expecting a clam evening. And as we know, Buffett shows are anything but calm!

Now I’m getting rumors about a possible Irvine Meadows show and THAT would be a no-brainer!

Phins Up!!!
