We had a borrowed camera, so the pictures mostly sucked. But we were in the front row and managed to get a few Ozzfest Flyers and Mosaic Flyers onto the stage. Jimmy and the one guitarist and 2 dancers/singers looked down at them quite a few times. The blonde girl picked one up when they stopped for a break.

And we had Ron Paul beach balls ALL over the place - including on stage. Jimmy Buffet picked one up and then kicked it back into the crowd at one point, and he and the other band members kicked quite a few back throughout the show. Around the intermission, I noticed a few people deflating them and stuffing them in pockets and purses to take home.

We had plenty of them with us though. We had a group of 10 people in the show, spread out in 3 different sections. And we all had at least 20 balls on us. There were a few official JB landshark balls floating around, and a few random ones that people brought in, but when you turned around and looked at the crowd, all you saw were the Ron Paul balls EVERYWHERE. It was awesome.


And for bonus points, security brought 3 young Navy boys (in full uniform) up to the front row near the end of the show. They were super excited and the staff deserves some serious kudos for doing that. But anyway, my ex and her aunt were right next to them and gave them each a lei and an RP beach ball and Mosaic Flyer. As they were leaving, I saw one of them grab another ball from the floor, and we snapped some pics.


We handed out Ozzfest flyers and Mosaic flyers for about 20 mins outside beforehand as well. (Planned on an hour, but we got lost somewhere in Jersey and ended up being really late.) We didn't have a chance to get pics outside.. and the ones inside were with a crappy camera. But you get the point:

(Hindsight. Should have had the logos printed on both sides!)

^This camera dude LOVED us. Our RP shirts were on the big screen at least a dozen times throughout the show. He got an awesome shot of my ex blowing up a beach ball too. Haha.
