A big Jimmy Buffett fan, but...last week there was a "supposed" scheduled surprise visit by Jimmy at his Margartiville restaurant in Orlando's Universal City Walk. Turned out they charged a few hundred people either $15.00 (general admission) or $50.00 all-you-can-drink admission, however, Jimmy didn't show up at all. They cleared the restaurant and the worker's made you believe he was going to appear on stage, although they did admit that the plans changed hourly. This was a huge hoax. The Coral Reefer band did play on stage, however, it was absolutely horrendous in my opinion. You couldn't even hear them and the sets were very sloppily put together. I've lost a lot of respect for a performer I have been extremely supportive of in the past. I would have been very ok with them advertising that it was only the Coral Reefer band but the hype and the employees believed Jimmy was going to show even though they were "out of the loop" and not able to provide much information. This will certainly weigh on my mind (and that of the 5 other members in my party) when he comes to town again. What a terrible PR move (in my opinion!).
