USA Today’s Lifeline Live caught up with Jimmy after Thursday night’s show in Bristow, Virginia:

After a concert for 400 earlier this month in Paris – his first there, Jimmy Buffett says he’s looking to do more unusual, smaller venues just like it. “I’m going to be more adventurous,” he said. With the usual twinkle in his eye, Buffett, 60, mentioned he’s trying to line up a gig on Easter Island in the South Pacific near the big statues there.

In the wake of Hoot, his last movie which didn’t do well at the box office, Buffett says he’ll stay out of filmmaking for awhile. “It’s done too much by committee.” Instead, look for a new Buffett novel come November. The title: Swine Not, about a pig in Manhattan. In the meantime, he’ll be heading to his next “board meeting” – surfboard, that is. And don’t worry, he added, he’ll still keep his “summer job” – doing the big barefoot concerts his Parrothead fans love. “I’m not retiring.”

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives has designated June 23rd as “Jimmy Buffett Day.”

Bloggernews.net reports that the resolution passed yesterday, citing Buffett as “a world-class entertainer known for his support of charitable and environmental causes throughout the region,” and that “more than 1,500 active Pennsylvania Parrot Heads (as some of his supports are known) join all citizens of this Commonwealth in Welcoming Jimmy Buffett …”

Buffett performs at the Post-Gazette Pavilion in Pittsburgh on the 23rd.

Attention Pittsburgh concert attendees: Radio Margaritaville DJ Miles Hampton will be roaming the parking lot all day recording interviews with fans for replay later on. Be sure to look for him!

Jimmy Buffett will give the keynote address at the commencement ceremony for the American School in Morocco on Friday, despite the death on Sunday of Buffett’s longtime friend Joseph A. McPhillips III, headmaster of the school.

Rolling Stone has an interview with several different acts. They ask Jimmy three questions:

Do you ever get sick of the hits?
Anything new this year?
Any chance the new material could displace any of the “Big Eight”?

In the last question, Jimmy explains why “Why Don’t We Get Drunk” hasn’t been played this year:

It was an accident, because I plugged some stuff in, and when I finished the show, I went, “Oh, my God, we didn’t do ‘Get Drunk and Screw,’ ” which you figure in Texas is a must. Well, nobody yelled or threw anything, so we didn’t do it the whole tour.
