Uncle Jim Live

Post by manfromuncle »

Hi,

How are things in Buffett News world? This site is a TRIP! Man, I could get lost on this baby for weeks!

I'm happy to see many new sign ups to the fan club and hellos from the message board on my site.

I'll be on for around 20 minutes.

Any one home?

Hi Everybody,

I have to admit, I'm VERY new to BN and it feels good to on line with you all. Will I see any of you in CA at the shows? We're gearing up soon and ready to put on our Buffett Space Suits and blast into Margaritaville.

UJ Talking in general about BN

Post by manfromuncle »

Hi again,

I'm just learning how this works...

what is BN eitiquete, like, for instance, do people say what part of the world their in, or is that some internet no no. I'm in Atlanta, GA with a friend having a nice chilling Spring Sunday before leaving for tour next Saturday. There's been lots of long hours in the studio (enjoyable hours :-) working on the new project. It's nice to have some real down time, eat some cooked animals and be at a party. My Bank of Bad Habits has plenty to withdraw now.

Sure, we share where we are all the time! It's a blast to hear what everyone is up to (and live vicariously through their current party if we're stuck being a Responsible Adult for the weekend.... :P ).

BNers in Dallas?

Post by manfromuncle »

I love it! "Hoot Island" That is so cool!
Do you all have GPS coordinates yet for the parking lot? Man I love the lot. Every time we drive in for a show it's amazing to go through the lot and see all the fruitcakse with their swimming pools, barbques and good times. What fun!

Stuck being a "responsible adult"

Post by manfromuncle »

Boy,
I could get so many song ideas in these discussions... Ya, That whole responsible adult thing. Isn't it over rated. Fun is what makes the world go round, at least, last I checked.

One of our Dallas contingent had a satellite pic of the lot, with Hoot Island circled, within a week of the show announcement..... :o 8)

A bunch of folks went out there for a pre-party this weekend.

Hi Uncle Jim,

It is sooooo great to see you here! I love your new website, the movies were hysterical! The photo sections are fun too. What a cute little boy you were! Caught your XM Children's show replay yesterday! It was an awesome show...will they replay it at a later date? Keep rockin' for the kiddies and I hope to see you on the Buffett tour at the Cincy show!

Yanni Arrested

Post by manfromuncle »

I'm so sorry to let you all know that Yanni has been arrested for domestic abuse. He seemed like such a peaceful guy on all those concert videos. I hope he's okay. sounds like women-trouble to me.

UJ XM Show, musiclover 06

Post by manfromuncle »

Hey thanks!

I appreciate it. That show was so much fun to do! The people at XM are totally pro. To answer your question, YES, (sorry, I yell a lot at home too), they will be airing it quite a bit through out the spring. I'll try to find the XM site that gives the upcoming schedule. I don't have it in front of me.

The site feels so good to get launched. I'll be adding captions to many of the photos soon. I was raised in India and I freaked when I found those shots of us Mayer children riding an elephant in India. Wish I had a video camera for that one.
