Today's shirt is another one from Margaritaville Glendale. When they opened that store they offered all kinds of great shirts that were never available before! This is another tagless (bonus!) and it also has a front pocket (double bonus!). It's a retro/vintage/throw-back, whatever you want to call it, of a 1979 Boat Drinks Tour shirt. Now, I did a little research and it turns out that Jimmy's 1979 tour wasn't actually called the "Boat Drinks Tour". It was called the "Volcano Tour", or sometimes the "You Had To Be There Tour". So I guess that makes this shirt completely fictional... which is fine, its still a really cool shirt.
The back is really cool. It's distressed screen-pint mentions all kinds of Buffett innuendos like "Come fly to St. Somewhere, stranded on a sandbar, the weather is here". It continues: "Free and easy, warm and breezy". It lists the dates as Aug. 17th - 20th (1979) but according to BuffettNews.com, he didn't even play any shows on those days. He did however play at our own nearby Merriweather Post Pavilion two days earlier (August 15, 1979)... coincidence?
Anyway, this light blue shirt is an all-around great shirt (despite my ripping it factually) and my second favorite one.
Tomorrow is one more day, one more album, one more shirt!
