Jimmy Buffet

So I know it is a little late but last Friday night I went to my first ever Jimmy Buffet concert. What a crazy experience. First off, it is in Paris, and concerts here are always so interesting as there is a mix of locals and visitors. This one was particularly special. Most of the crowd were american (or at least North American) and many of them flew into Paris just for the concert. I wish I could afford that. Fly to Paris one day, that night go to a concert and then the next moring fly back to America. Crazy. Anyways, me and the girls heading to a bar for happy hour before hand. It has cheap margaritas which we thought as fitting. THen we went and lined up with all the other Buffet fans and drank in the streets before the concert. Finally we entered the concert hall. It was a pretty good hall. The standing area was set up in a way that it slanted downwards towards the stage which made it easy to see the whole stage even from the back. One thing about some of the concert halls in France is that the cheaper tickets are standing room and the more expensive ones are seats in the balconies. Overall it was a fantastic concert. Lots of fun and dancing. The only difficult thing was the beer. Apparently the concert hall didn't study their audience as they ran out of beer. They had a ton of wine left but no beer. So they ended up having to buy cans and then pouring those into the plastic cups. Why they couldn't just give us the cans I am not sure. It sucked for the bartenders since they had to deal with the stupid and angry fans who wanted beer. lol oh well. After the concert we headed to a bar nearby. It was fun to see all the fans dressed up and walking down the street to the bar. I had a great time and so much fun!! Way to go Jimmy!!!
