SAY CHEESEburger in Paradise

The parrot heads were out in force on August 6 to continue a true summer tradition in Cincinnati: Jimmy Buffett. This boozy, perennial party crowd has been determined for the last 22 years to turn the Ohio Riverbank into a makeshift Key West beach and Interstate 275 into US 1. And though the weather was not exactly “tropical” by August standards, the sky was blue, the Landshark was flowing, and people were grilling their favorite cheeseburger in paradise. Of all the concerts Say Cheese is part of at Riverbend, this is perhaps the most enjoyable. Aside from the fact that people try to outdo one another with the most outrageous and conspicuous outfit to pay tribute to Buffett’s legacy, the photo booth candidly captures tipsy smiles, sun-burnt faces needing SPF 50, and some creative sunglasses. It’s a night full of good people watching and music that makes me wish I had a vacation home in Nassau or St. Thomas. Here are some booth highlights for your viewing pleasure. Fins up Cincinnati!
