Tailgating With the Parrotheads






Went to a Jimmy Buffett concert at the Mohegan Sun Casino last night and had a blast. We made sure to get there early to check out the freakshow that always accompanies a Buffett concert.









His fans are really dedicated. Many people set up tents and tiki bars in the parking lot, broke out their grills and blenders and chowed down on cheeseburgers and Margaritas.




Taking care to look for sharks!





For our own tailgate we opted for some beautiful wild Maine scallops and Gulf shrimp, which I marinated in lime juice, chipotle pepper and cilantro.







We ate them grilled with whole wheat tortillas, jicama salad and plenty of cold beer!










The concert was fantastic. Jimmy started with Willy Nelson's "On the Road Again", and went on to play a mix of new music and old standbys. The band was very interactive, and the crowd was into it. The crew had spent time in the parking lot earlier in the day filming the tailgate parties, and during the show they were projecting scenes from the parking lot onto giant screens throughout the arena.










A combination beer cooler and motorized scooter,
that just can't possibly be legal!


We rocked out to Brown Eyed Girl and hugged tight during Come Monday.... It was a great time for sure!
