THE WEB'S LARGEST JIMMY BUFFETT RESOURCE

Photos from Alex Sink Fundraiser

October 12th, 2010


On Sunday, Jimmy Buffett performed at a fundraiser for Florida governor candidate Alex Sink. The event raised $500,000 for Sink.

The set was short — just a few songs, including “Margaritaville” and “Volcano.” But the cash haul was big — about $500,000, according to Morgan.

“The best night ever,” Morgan said, adding that the highlight was when Buffett agreed to play his and his wife’s special song: “Come Monday.”

Check out some photos from the event:

Buffett to Play Fundraiser for Florida Gubernatorial Candidate

October 6th, 2010


Jimmy Buffett will perform at a fundraiser for Florida gubernatorial candidate Alex Sink this Sunday, according to St. Petersburg Times political reporter Alex Leary. Sink, a Democrat, is facing Republican Rick Scott in the general election.

Margaritaville 25th Anniversary Specials

October 1st, 2010


The first Margaritaville Cafe opened 25 years ago in Key West, and to celebrate they are offering not-so-secret specials that aren’t on the menu.

The “Not Too Particular, Not Too Precise” cheeseburger, a “1985” Margarita and 25% off the 25th Anniversary Tee are all available by request only at select locations. You won’t see these on the menu, so the only way to get these specials is to ask for them by name!

Not too Particular Not too Precise Cheeseburger
A special Cheeseburger in Paradise for sure. A handmade patty of 100% fresh ground chuck, cooked to order with Margaritaville Seasoning Salt topped with American cheese, red onion, lettuce and tomato (Heinz 57 available on the side) on a toasted bun. Served with French fried potatoes and big kosher pickle. A cold draft LandShark beer is optional, if you’re old enough!

1985 Margarita
A timeless classic! 12 oz. margarita made with Margaritaville Gold and Silver Tequila, Gran Gala, Cointreau, simple syrup, and fresh lime juice. Served with salted rim, and a lime.

You can also get a 25th anniversary t-shirt. Mention the 25th Anniversary Tee secret sale to get 25% off the 25th Anniversary Tee at participating venues.
