The License to Chill privilege was eagerly
honored by over 20,000 Parrot Heads on Thursday afternoon and
evening, May 20. Downtown St MinneSomePlace was transitioned
from the NBA playoffs the previous evening to just plain playing
around. Tents were in place to fend off the frequent rain
showers of the week but were mostly unnecessary as Buffett
provided his usually weather relief. The weather is here!
In his absence during the day, bands were on stage and
O’Donovan’s was another great oasis for the crazy inhabitants of
our island. Stars on the Water were once again the tropical
magnet and entertainment that gave us the excuse to quit work
early and phlock. The Beach Bum Band anchored the Rosen tent,
sponsored by KQRS, who is widely known as owning only one Jimmy
Buffett song. Where is Radio Margaritaville? Steve Huntington,
if you can broadcast from backstage, you could certainly come
out and meet the fans! It only seems fitting!
Margaritaville Shrimp thought it was worthwhile!
Meanwhile, the excitement grew as Parrot Heads eventually filled
the streets and crawled the 1st Ave crawl. Buffett hit the stage
at 8pm and it flowed from there! The set list was outstanding
and Buffett, once again, put on his best performance ever! What
else can you expect when the best three days of the week were on
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday! It’s a Buffett thing!
