We’ve been wondering what Comerica Park has planned for Jimmy’s big stadium show this Saturday, and it looks like today’s Detroit Free Press might have answered all of Schmoe’s questions.

“More planning for Comerica Park, a brief look at the new Blu-ray, and highlights from the second leg of the summer tour. (Cameo by Tori. The Roger Clyne podcast starts at 29:56.)”
I’ll admit it, this episode’s title is probably our lamest and least inspired.

05:03 – I had mistyped the link in emailing it to the panelists. There should’ve been an underscore in the link but there was also a space – which was hard to see since, being a link, it was already, automatically underscored.
05:50 – when was the name change? Back in late 2006, I guess (while we were away at Zodiac).

I’ve been recording WCSX since Saturday, but I got the new commercial off WYCD after only an hour! From 99.5 WYCD Detroit’s Country, at 6:10 EDT this morning…
Update: a slightly improved version of this commercial, recorded at around 11:40 AM EDT (also off WYCD), was added to the podcast feed, at around 4:10 PM.
Here’s the ad from the Detroit Free Press Sunday edition, Entertainment section, page 5E.

Tailgating starts at 8 AM?!?!? Could there be such a thing as too much partying? Those poor parking lot attendants don’t know what they’re in for.
Update: from the concert page at the Olympia Entertainment website, here’s the website splash page ad and the webpage banner ad.
The rumor at Buffett World has come true.
It was announced today that Jimmy Buffett will be playing Comerica Park on Saturday, July 28. And for any naysayers who were afraid there would not be any tailgating, the promoters are promising “[a] daylong ‘Buffett’s Beach Party’ will be held on the grounds outside Comerica Park, where a lounge, margarita tastings, midway games and other frills will be in place for the legion of partying Parrothead fans.”
Here’s the Detroit News‘s write-up. Here’s the Detroit Free Press‘s.
And this banner was on the Freep’s front page.
