Jimmy Buffett for Change
[ Comments Off ] Posted on 10.31.08 under Uncategorized
Jimmy Buffett will be playing a concert this weekend in Florida to encourage Floridians to go out and vote for Barack Obama for president next Tuesday. It’s not that Buffett’s support comes as a surprise, he has been supporting Obama for months now. But anyway, his concert is a way of rallying supporters before the big day. There are tickets available, two per person, free, on a first come-first serve basis. It’s Jimmy Buffett, so of course it will be a good concert. People can get tickets at any of the Early-Voting Information tables the Obama campaign has set up in Florida.
Can you win a ticket to this?

There will be a private party to celebrate the opening of Margaritaville Mohegan Sun on November 8th. The party will include a concert by a certain musician that is the topic of this blog. This is a private event, according to the website, but there will be passes made available through local radio stations (in the Northeast) as well as Radio Margaritaville. Any big fan will want to go see this show, since it isn’t a public performance, but rather a much smaller private one. If you have Sirius Radio, you can tune in to Channel 31 for the chance to win passes for this event. If you do, enjoy the show!
