I just got off the phone with the Buffett people and no joy...

Not mad just disappointed...
Bummer. But I can tell you that I get 2-3 emails a week from people that want to see if Buffett would do something special for their friend or family member that has got cancer, or is becoming an Eagle Scout, etc. So I'm sure he gets those requests a lot.
and I understand that but when I go to a concert and see his PH club guys on stage and in the first three rows at every show I just wonder if his people insulate him a bit too much from these kind of requests and just give out goodies...
I'm over it and going to have a good time anyway...
In defense of the Parrothead Club's... we were the host club for the Raleigh show and our seats were nowhere near the front. Well maybe the front of the last section before the lawn...Also the club's are not allowed to get any perks from JB or his management. Hell we can't even get autographed stuff to raffle off at events through him, have to use EBay! The clubs can't even contact JB, it's in the PHiP By-Laws...
I think that due to his popularity he has to insulate himself or he'd be overwhelmed with requests legitimate and otherwise.
After all, it's all about having a good time!
Just my two cents...

Thanks Doc, I can only go by what I see at the concerts mainly in California...
Maybe these guys just pop big money to the brokers for the good seats. I have nothing but respect for the clubs. They are fun and philanthropic I went to a couple of local events but I'm not a joiner...
Like I said I'm over it and J and I will have a great time in Vegas...
