[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2113281, member: 26737"] Back in '95, I attended some IT-related training led by an instructor knew some folks on the planning committee for the Olympic Festival in '89. He said they'd originally been interested in having Buffett perform at the opening ceremonies, but he didn't make a great impression on the members who went to talk to him (IIRC, he was two hours late because he'd been up all night after a concert, and might not have been completely sober). I thought that was a crying shame--I was working on campus during the opening ceremonies, so I could've gone out on the patio in front of DAHT and listened to [I]Margaritaville[/I] live. :cry11: Instead, I had to settle for going out there and feeling the concussion of the fireworks...which were apparently fused wrong, and were going off too low, so it turned out to be quite the experience. Well, that, and the rain of cardboard, partially burned propellants/explosives, and other fireworks debris... [/QUOTE]
