Article on Parrot Heads in Virginia Getting Tickets

March 16th, 2006

The Belvoir Eagle has an article on Parrot Heads in Virginia vying for tickets to the Bristow, Virginia show:

Parrotheads who gathered at Sosa spent time talking to each other and exchanging stories of other Buffett concerts they had attended. While waiting for the clock to strike 10, they also watched the facility’s big screen television, and made runs for coffee and breakfast.

“He’s got great melodies about everyday life,” Pete McGraw, an Army contractor who works at Fort Myer, said of Buffett.

Mike Martin has seen Buffett in concert every year since 1988. To make sure he had tickets this year, the first sergeant got up at 4 a.m. to make the drive from Virginia Beach, Va., to Fort Belvoir.
