Some People Claim There's A Woman To Blame

In case you haven't made the connection with my "pen name" I am a huge Jimmy Buffett fan. I think it all started my senior year of high school when I knew I would be an East Carolina Pirate in the fall (I ended up transferring out after my first year).

Anyways Jimmy Buffett has this quote "Yes, I am a Pirate" well needless to say that was kinda of our unofficial slogan. Though I consider myself a huge Buffett fan I have never made it out to a concert. Jimmy Buffett and I are like two passing ships in the night. Ever since my senior year in high school the day he would come to town would be the week I was getting ready to move back down to college and when he came to play in Atlanta or Charlotte it was when I was back home. Well not this year Mr. Buffett, tomorrow I am flying back home and going to make it your concert this weekend. That's right I am going to see Jimmy Buffett.  Sorry I am just a tad excited. My birthday was on a Sunday (our county blue laws aka no alcohol sales) during a dry sorority recruitment (no drinking allowed at anytime for like 2 weeks). So this weekend my family is going to celebrate my birthday at the mecca of all tailgates.  I have been surfing the web, doing so research and I think I have come up with some pretty essential tailgating items.

Seriously what an awesome idea. That would so cool/handy for college football tailgates as well and only $29.99 isn't too much of a stretch either.
