Buffett Tailgating thoughts…

I took a bunch of photos at the Buffett concert and have yet to post them. I will certainly be putting up a post about those photos very soon. I did want to talk about the experience of going to Gillette. The tailgating there was exceptional. I think it had a great vibe to it. There could have been many more porta-potties but although there was a huge police presence it did not deter us from having a beer or two out in the open. And I’m sorry but I love having a beer in a glass bottle because it keeps things so much colder and cold beer tastes much better. Putting the drinking in plastic cups is silly. While the Tweeter center is a more fun venue for the show itself the tailgating was much better at Gillette. It may be blasphemous saying that but it is what I believe.

There must have been a falling out with Tweeter Center and Jimmy because on Labor Day weekend the Tweeter parking lot is full of golf enthusiasts, in other words the TPC golf tournament takes over for the weekend. Can you believe that Tweeter makes more money using the facility as a giant parking lot than it does as a venue for a concert. Gillette solves that problem by charging each carload to park, it stinks but they make their money.

I think that next year we have to build a bar and take a bus. This year we had so many people with us that using a bus would have been perfect. And making a bar gets more visitors to the party space. And Tailgating is one of my most favorite parts of the whole Buffett experience.

New England Photowalking…

I have created a new Flickr Group, I am now managing 3 Flickr groups, it is crazy. I have one for the GiSTEQ PhotoTrackr. One for members of FuelMyBlog and now the New England Photowalking one. The FuelMyBlog group has the most members right now but I hope to start building up the New England Photowalking one. the only other member so far for that group is Meeyauw and she is an awesome addition to the group. She just took a photowalk with her daughter’s dogs and made a video out of it, there are some very good photos in her collection. The country up where she lives is very beautiful and is only about 2 hours away from my sister’s place in Walpole, NH. I think we need to pull together a photowalking event together in the future.

If you are interested in joining any of the groups that I administer on Flickr please check out the rules for the group and let me know.

For the GiSTEQ PhotoTrackr group you need to have a GiSTEQ PhotoTrackr and tag your GPS data to your images with the device. So I encourage you photowalkers to get this device because it is pretty awesome.

For the FuelMyBlog you simply need to be a member of FuelMyBlog. That is pretty easy.

And for the New England Photowalking you need to live in ME, VT, NH, MA, RI or CT. Check out each of the groups to learn more.
