Club Trini Live (1999)

    I know I should be finishing Episode 105, but instead I’ve dug into the archives to reassemble a new edit of Club Trini performing in the Pine Knob parking lot, June 8 1999.  The edits might be a little abrupt, but this is pretty much everything I shot that day.

    This video has also been uploaded to our Vimeo and Viddler pages, YouTube, our Facebook group and fan pages, and added to our Tape Library section.

Cheeseburger in Caseville 2009

    During tonight’s visit to Key West Coffee & Café (as discussed in Episode 104), we got to wondering whether we should try going back to the Cheeseburger Festival in Caseville MI.  It runs this year from August 7 to August 16, which means it’s possible we could go there immediately following our Pine Knob concert and make it one helluva Buffetty weekend!
    Once we saw the new logo for this year’s festival, their 11^th annual, we knew we had to go.
    ...For Greg’s sake….

Monkeys!

Guinea Pigging

    The Boston Globe interviewed Jimmy, in advance of his two Mansfield shows (Thursday and Saturday).  The interview is available at Boston.com, and midway through he mentions us northcoasters.

Q. How has the recession affected your tour?  Is this the year the bubble bursts and some people will not come to see you?

A. No, we’re doing great.  Thank God there are people out there who like what we’re doing.  They haven’t put us on a list of things they’re not going to do because of the economy.  This is their vacation and they’re not going to give it up.  They may not go to Florida or buy a new car, but they won’t miss our show.  I wanted to find out right away, so we went on sale early with a Detroit show—they’ve been as hard hit as anywhere—and it sold out in 20 minutes.  I’m very grateful.

    Happy to be your test kitchen, Jimmy.

    We’re used to seeing Buffett references in “Arlo & Janis”, but we never expected him to show up in, of all things, “Blondie”!
    This is the strip from Friday, June 12.

    Also, Buffett World calls attention to an iPhone app designed for Jimmy Buffett fans and concertgoers.  It’s called iEncore and is available in the iTunes App Store [link opens iTunes].

    We’ve tried to keep tabs on other Buffett-inspired and -related apps, check out the ever-growing list here.
    Update: here’s another multimedia mention, from one podcast to another.  The guys of the 24 Cast are now doing a podcast called The Complete Guide to Everything*.  Their latest episode is about “Hamburgers” which leads to an extended segment on Jimmy Buffett.  The clip is too long to include in one of our shows, so we’ll just link to the episode.  The Buffett segment is 7:10 in and runs over four minutes (with a callback at 13:15).  [Added 6/16]
