Searching for my lost shaker of salt. . .

A group of my friends and I packed up a few cars over the weekend to leave for Alpine Valley to see Jimmy Buffett. We left at 11 a.m. for an 8 o’clock concert. Which left a lot of time for drinking and tailgating. Being a Jimmy Buffett concert virgin I was told to expect the unexpected. And needless to say these Buffett fans are out of control. I had an absolute fun day with a great group of people, accompanied by care-free music, which led for the perfect sunny day. What I learned at our own little Margaritaville:

1. Margaritas at noon are OK-because it’s five o’clock somewhere.
2. The more beads/leis you wear, the more you fit in.
3. Scratch that, the more beads/leis and the more drunk you are, the more you fit in.
4. Missouri boys love Wisconsin girl’s aviators. At least mine:)
5. Upside-down margaritas got er done. At least got me done.
6. I found out what the meaning of the shark fin on top of many cars was.
7. Palm tree beer bongs DO exist.
8. Cherries soaked in Jack Daniels are potent. 10+cherries later...
9. It’s impossible to go to the bathroom in a porta-potty with a grass skirt on.
10. You learn a lot about people by simply waiting in line for the porta-potty with them.
11. Anything goes in Margaritaville.
12. Even if you don’t have ALL the necessary tailgating tools you learn to improvise.
13. Teaching previous generations how to play flip cup in the wind is an experience.
14. Old men drink straight up gin. Don’t drink out of their mugs.
15. Even if you don’t know all of Jimmy Buffett songs you can still sing along.
