Jimmy is a nice guy. I had the chance to meet him down in Key West about 4 years ago.
Really pissed us Birminghamians off when the ampitheatre screwed him out of some cash so he never will play there again. Sooooo, we just road trip over to Atlanta and do the parrot head thing. Best advice I can give you is to rent a Uhaul truck with a bunch of your buds. With the electrical plug in in the back you can set up a power strip and plug the lava lamps and cd player in. Add several couches and several kegs and about as many cutie pies as one drunk can handle. The hard part is attaching that 3/4" thick plywood cutout of a shark fin on the tops and sides. Don't forget bobbing parrot head for the dash and a DD for the trip there and another one for the way back. You could draw straws, but arm wrestling will suffice.
That was back in 95, or 96, that we roadtripped to Atlanta in Buffett Style with our custom uhaul drunk tank on wheels. Of course now that I think about it, it probably wasn't too safe, but it was mostly interstate driving. Driving doing a keg stand at 70mph and then have the driver hit a pothole or roadkill was also memorable. Don't forget cell phones or walkie talkies so you can communicate and cuss the driver.
Go to Key West, or hell, most of the Gulf and Caribbean's beaches and see what it's all about. I suggest the Bahamas as the water and women are amazing.
