The Margaritaville Biloxi held its second job fair yesterday, bringing the two-day total of job seekers to 4,000. The casino, scheduled to open the week of May 20, is looking to fill about 1,000 positions.

News 5 has a video report:

Couldn’t make one of the job fairs? You can apply for several positions online here.

Our forum moderator Jollymon345 (Dean) was listening to Radio Margaritaville this morning and reports that DJ Steve revealed some details on Jimmy’s summer tour. Rest assured, there WILL be a summer tour this year.

Here’s a rundown of what Steve said:

1. The Welcome to Fin Land Tour is running until April in the midwest.

2. The new tour will be starting in May.

3. Tickets and date announcements will be end of March beginning of April.

4. Jimmy will be doing a lot of songs that he hasn’t done in a long time. Since Peter Mayer said earlier during an interview that Jimmy may do more albums like Volcano Live 2011 and he brought up A1A maybe he will be dipping back to some older stuff.

5. Steve commented about how people have been emailing RM and asking about the new tour and thought that Jimmy was retiring. He said it was not true.

Sorry Calgary… a Margaritaville Cafe is no longer planned for the Calgary Stampede development in Calgary, AB Canada. First announced in 2009, the deal was revealed to be in jeopardy a year ago.

Connell confirmed the Jimmy Buffett-inspired Margaritaville restaurant/entertainment centre is no longer planned as an anchor tenant in the mainstreet development. A separate venture, to be announced at a later date, has taken over that role and location.

The website is still live but has never contained any content: www.margaritavillecalgary.ca

The Niagara Falls location remains the only Margaritaville in Canada.

San Diego parrotheads will have a place to tailgate on Saturday after all.

After initially declining to allow Jimmy Buffett fans to use the Qualcomm Stadium parking lot for a tailgate party prior to Saturday night’s Buffett concert at SDSU’s Viejas Arena, stadium officials have done an about face.

“We’ve kind of reversed course. We’ve decided to open it up for tailgaters,” Mike McSweeney, the manager of Qualcomm Stadium, said Thursday afternoon. “We’ve had such an overwhelming number of requests from people wanting to tailgate (Saturday).”

Why the initial reluctance?

McSweeney said stadium officials were concerned about costs Qualcomm would have had to absorb to pay for cleaning up the parking lot after the tailgate party and for providing Porta-Potties and security.

“Because we’re charging for parking, well use those revenues to pay for the Porta-Potties and the dumpsters,” he said. “We have a lot of space and we’ll open it up as needed.”

Tailgating at Qualcomm won’t be cheap. Officials will open the gates at noon and charge $20 per car and $60 per RV.

The ticket broker site Razorgator is showing a date for Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, Virginia:

Saturday, September 1st

This happens from time to time where a ticket broker site will list a show before it appears anywhere else. More often than not it turns out to be correct, but sometimes they’re not. So keep in mind that this is not confirmed. Bristow is usually played on Labor Day weekend though, so it would keep with tradition.
