I had not been to a Jimmy Buffett concert in more than 10 years....now I know why.

Got a call yesterday morning from a friend saying they had an extra ticket and wanted to know if I wanted to go. Sure....I had nothing planned.

It was at the Verizon Amphitheater in Irvine, California....formerly known as Irvine Meadows. About 45 minutes from where I live.

So, the concert starts at 7:30pm.....gates to the parking lot open at 3pm for partying. We arrive at 7pm.....the rest of our group was there at 5pm.

We get there...the lot is PACKED! I was amazed. So many drunk people stumbling over themselves. I just didn't remember it being that way the last time I attended a Jimmy Buffett concert...at the same place!

Anyways, I had fun...but it also started to rain halfway through the concert...yes, it is an outdoor venue.

I probably won't jump as quickly to go again though.
