Andrea,
I had it all planned to go to Buffet in Atlanta, but will still be in AC. Gotta go out to Vegas for a meeting, and hope to see him there.
My best high school friends are HUGE parrotheads and have seen him over 200 times, including his big Key West fan club meetings. They belong to the P-Heads of Toronto and St Pete (they live both places). But just bought in Costa Rica and say they have to start a club there.

200 shows.. holy cow, that makes my 30 something shows look pale in comparison!!! Yep, we do the Key West thing too each year, except for this one as work conflicts prohibit going.

Well... we are rebooking to go back to AC the week of May 3 next year!!! Otzzie, I hope you and Barefoot Fluffie can come down then again.. I think we already have Tami and Josh talked into it :-)))) I think a good chunk of the gang from this year will be back, plus maybe some new party folks who couldnt go this time around cause of work or other conflicts!

Geez.. I have to wait a year to get back there,, waah!!

Yes, I do believe that Josh and I are heading back with y'all. I know, I know...we are brave ones to go back on the streets of AC while Dan is behind the wheel of a golf cart. Ha! I am looking into staying at the VH again (we just LOVED that place!)....fortunately, it isn't too long of a 'crawl' from the Banana Beach.
Looking forward to it (doesn't a year seem like soooo far away?!)

Great trip report. Just so you know, the awesome clothes shop you are talking about is 'Isla Bonita Designs'. Great designs. Sami and Aida are the best.

frank says no yearly trips for us

i am SO hoping vicki's great hospitality will change his mind and if the kids are happy...THAT will be the key.

great report.

(and you guys make my 20 gr-dead shows in highschool/college seem puny!)

Great trip report. The clothes shop you are refering to is called Isla Bonita Designs. The ladies names are Sami and Aida and they have the best island clothes by far. Go see them at the beginning of your trip so they have time to make your special order before you leave. They have alot of stuff off the rack also.

Yep, I'll definitely hit that store at the start of the week next time. We didnt find it until a day or so before we left this year, three of us still bought outfits though! So we'll definitely go back there and drag the other girls in the group along! Being short, with long legs, short torso, big hips and small waist (basically totally mis-proportioned) makes it hard as hell to find clothes to fit right off the rack, and the fact they could make things to order, and do adjustments within a day makes it a great store to visit!
