We might not all listen to Jimmy Buffet but most of us know the name. If you ever hear that he is playing somewhere near you don't hesitate to go whether you buy tickets or not. Better yet you don't even have to drive there just get dropped off. Trust me it is worth it if you are ready for a day filled with tailgating fun. It is one of the biggest tailgates you will probably ever experience!

1. Tailgating

Some might say the best part of a concert is the tailgate and for the Jimmy Buffet tailgate that might just be true considering that some people just go for the tailgate (including me). People start setting up as early as 3am the morning of the concert; needless to say that the parking lots fill up pretty fast. The main lot is the lot to be in since that is where everything is happening. There is some live music, dancing, barbecues, drinks and games.

2. Great Music

It is like a giant dance party. Everyone is playing great music and dancing around. Small bands set up their stages or play under tents as well giving the crowd a taste of live music before the actual concert.

3. Everyone Goes All Out

People get there real early to set up because they are going all out. They empty their liquor cabinets and their mini fridges bringing tons of bottles that they set up under their tents. They put together tiki bars, kiddy pools, games, and stimulations. Some people fill the beds of their trucks with sand and stick beach items in it and others fill there’s with water to make a little pool to chill in. You will find some people walking around in coconut bras and hula skirts with parrots (real or fake) that is for sure!


4. Surfboard Stimulation

Someone brings a huge blow up surfboard stimulation. If you go to the Jimmy Buffet tailgate and don't do this did you really go? This was one of the best parts of the tailgate; you can hop up there alone or with a friend and try to stay on as the guy makes the surfboard rock faster! It is a ton of fun!


5. Foam Party

I do not know who thought of the great idea of having a foam party at a tailgate but whoever did that person is a genius. This was my first foam party and it was a ton of fun! Every hour they did it so if you missed it you could catch the next one. Especially on a hot day it was a nice way to cool down for a bit.


6. It Is A Giant Beach Themed Party

What is better than a beach themed party on the beach? Nothing... You will find people in bathing suits, Hawaiian shirts, coconut bras, and hula skirts. There will be all sorts of pool floats floating around, people with lays and beads, palm trees and sand, and parrots cannot forget the parrots real or fake you will spot those. Basically you will see anything that has to do with the beach!!! Who wouldn't love that?

Catch the next Jimmy Buffet tailgate because you won't want to miss it!

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
