Lucy Buffett Orders Second Printing For Cookbook

March 3rd, 2008


Lucy Buffett, sister of Jimmy Buffett and owner of Lulu’s at Homeport in Gulf Shores, Alabama, has ordered another 10,000 copies of her new cookbook after the first 2,000 went quickly. WKRG TV has an interview with Lucy about “Crazy Sista Cookin”:

“I always wanted to write the book.” she told News 5’s Bill Riales. “I started with that little place on Week’s Bay and I genuinely thought that I’d sell a lot of beer, I’d cook a few cheeseburgers and a pot of gumbo and I would sit on the porch and write my cookbook.. I really thought that, and it was not to be.”

It turned out the restaurant proved so popular, especially after the move to Gulf Shores, that Lucy thought she might have to give up her dream of writing it. But seeing the heart of the eatery, the kitchen, and the rest of it could run without her there all the time–the book started to take shape once again.

She says, “Iniitially I just thought if I sell it at LuLu’s it would be fine–that’s what it started as. I’ve been wanting to write this book for a long time and it follows the dishes we serve here at LuLu’s and those dishes come from my personal experience or they’ve been borrowed or adapted from either friends of mine or family.”

Buffett says she’s gotten word the book has reached readers in Minnesota, and Michigan, New York and California–and lots of points in between. Only two months after its release, she’s already ordered another ten thousand copies–and expects to order more. And just in case you’ve already devoured the stories and recipes in this one–Lucy says she’s still got plenty of tales left to tell and is already planning a second book.

A portion of the proceeds from ‘Crazy Sista Cookin’ will benefit one of Lucy’s pet projects, art education in Baldwin County Schools.

Article And Video On Ticket Frenzy In Indy

March 3rd, 2008


TheIndyChannel.com has an article on the frenzy this morning to purchase tickets to the July 29th concert at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Indianapolis.

The majority of tickets to a concert in the Indianapolis area this summer sold out in about 10 minutes Monday morning, 6News’ Julie Pursley reported.

Some fans were not too upset by the ticket situation, but others were livid.

“It’s business. That’s the way the world goes round,” said Brian Hand. “You can complain about it or do your best to get them.”

“I hate it. It’s horrible. It’s not fair,” said Jennifer Wallace.
