October brings us the Party Bus to Fast Eddies and Grafton Winery featuring PHINS Movin’ On Tour! This will be one of the last events where the entire PHINS Band will perform! It’s the ending of a ten year run for PHINS and the St. Louis Parrot Head Club, a huge supporter of the original PHINS, was influential in the production of their first CD, “Fools, Drunks & Children” which is still available for purchase. Also, Flipperstock was derived at our Club’s Christmas Party in 2006 when Paul Roush invited retired PHINS band members back to perform, along with a host of other trop-rock performers. The event was dubbed Flipperstock making it the fist “unofficial” Flipperstock! Also, October brings us our first Pirate’s Party at the request of members to have a Halloween event. In years prior this event was known as the Meeting of the Minds Kick-Off Party but not everyone gets to go to Key West Key West and we wanted something from everyone including a kick-off party for those leaving for Key West, thus a Pirate’s Party. We are very excited to be bringing in the pirate of all pirates, John Reno, to perform at this event. So me maties, get ye pirate gear out t’ trunk and let’s seize upon Soulard with ye favorite grog in hand fer a night of merriment….Arrr! This year is going out with a big bang with our annual Christmas/Buffett Birthday Party on December 3rd! I personally checked out the new venue, The Maryland Heights Center, and it is a fantastic venue and one heck of a place to throw a parrot head party! For the first time Jim Morris and the entire Big Bamboo Band will be performing in St. Louis! Jim Morris has eighteen CDs under his belt, including his new CD, “On the Road Too Long”! There was also mention of a Christmas CD coming out just in time for this event! So come on out and bring your friends and family for some great trop-rock music and PHun!! I get a ton of emails everyday and try to respond to each and every one of them so never hesitate to contact me via email regarding any of our parrot head events or questions regarding the St. Louis Parrot Head Club.

It’s a Halloween costume party in Soulard, the biggest costume party place in STL! Check out John Reno and his music at: http://johnreno.com/? section=music www.strayrescue.org Stray Rescue's sole purpose is to rescue stray animals in need of medical attention, restore them to health, and place them in loving adoptive homes. Virtually all of the pets we save have been abused and neglected. They've been dumped on highways, or remote country roads. Abandoned in public parks, empty houses and dark alleys. We've even saved dogs left chained behind buildings after their owners had moved away. Rescued animals often make the best pets. As a no-kill organization, pets from Stray Rescue seem to understand that they have a second lease on life. In return for a little affection and attention, these remarkable animals reward their new owners with a love and loyalty unmatched anywhere.

Lenny Frisch was fabulous bringing us "back to the islands" and Tall Paul and Crawdaddy were incredible and how about that Kristy? Wow what a treat! Many have been asking how we're going to top this one....not sure we can! Maybe a little cooler weather could be added to the mix! We would like to thank all the members that helped out with this event, especially the cooks, because it was HOT! Big thanks to Dave Taylor, Ken Harris, Ron Wunsch, Cliff Ramage, Eddie and BJ for frying up the Volcano Shrimp sent to us from Margaritaville Foods! Thanks also to Brenda Clark who kept us supplied with concoctions from her Tiki Bar which brought in $40 dollars in tips for Stray Rescue...AND a "big team drink to Tom Heap who won the 50/50 drawing and donated his winnings back to the club! Finally a big thanks to everyone that donated booze for our cooler raffle, brought a dish to share and all that helped out with setting up pavilion! Congratulations to Jim Cormier, big winner of the Tommy Bahama Cooler! We would also like to thank all the Board Members that put in so much time and energy into making these great social events happen. Finally a big "team drink" to everyone that came out and supported Project Backpack.........Amazing job Parrot Heads! We collected more than 4000 items to donate to this great organization! Many thanks go out to our membership for your generosity! St. Louis Parrot Head Dispatch Page 4 October-November 2011 St. Louis Parrot Head Dispatch Page 5 October-November 2011 A hoy, me mates! A big Thank You to the Captain and Crew of the Gypsy Rose Pirate Ship for a memorable afternoon adventure on the high seas! And also to The Grafton Winery and Triple Play for a fun-tastic after party! And lastly to the band of scalawag Parrot Heads who spent an unforgettable afternoon plundering the sea and shores of Grafton with us! St. Louis Parrot Head Dispatch Page 6 October-November 2011 O ur club is in its prime and we’re having fun and still growing! Yes, this club is “growing older but not up”! We are proud of what we have accomplished and amazed at the growth of our club with 300 members, after a long run of less than a hundred. The best recipe for a successful event, “one part charity, one part trop-rock, shake it up and you’ve got a party with a purpose”! With a little “change in attitude” we decided to make the most out of the phrase “party with a purpose”. This year we took on a new primary charity, Komen Race for the Cure! We put together our “Save The Coconuts” team and had an amazing turnout with 30 members participating and more than $2,200 raised for Komen Race for the Cure! Our club also hosted a “Meet and Greet with the Coral Reefers” and put together a Buffett Concert Tailgate Party with more than one purpose! Grilled cheeseburgers were served and sold along with shots from our “ice luge” which overloaded our tip bucket for “Booze for Boobies” - Komen Race for the Cure. Local musicians donated time for some acoustic trop-rock entertainment and local Parrot Head Clubs came together for our “Parrot Head Super Bowl”, the Jimmy Buffett Concert! The event also gave us the opportunity to snag quite a few new members. To add to our previous effort, $1,500 was raised in the parking lot of a concert venue giving us a total upward of $3,700 for Komen Race for the Cure! Our largest event by far is our Annual Christmas/Buffett Birthday Party. Last year Buffett’s Birthday Party brought in hundreds of toys for our Toys for Tots campaign valued at $3000. For many years our club has supported a local program for abused children. The sole mission of this program is to help children in our area who are forgotten and silent victims of domestic violence. The organization provides backpacks to area police departments, social service agencies, domestic violence shelters and family services. The backpacks are St. Louis Parrot Head Dispatch filled with necessities and comfort items and are delivered to children on-the-scene and at the moment they are needed. The backpacks make a huge difference for children who are removed from their homes, usually with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Throughout the year our “sweat equity” consists of meeting on a Saturday morning, turning up the Buffett music, and filling these backpacks with necessary items such as sleep tees; socks; toiletries; school supplies; games; books; and toys donated by various entities. Our silent auction last year brought in $1154 and of that amount $654 was donated to this program for supplies to fill these backpacks. This year our annual “Where’s the Beach Party” also supported the local program for abused children. Since school supplies are on sale during the late summer months, instead of bringing baskets for auction, we asked everyone attending to fill a backpack full of school supplies to be donated to this program. We sent out a shopping list and in return, 51 backpacks filled with 4354 items were loaded up for delivery. We all enjoyed a pot-luck style barbeque in a local park and great entertainment by both local and out-of-town trop-rock musicians. Along with these annual events we throw parties throughout the year to help other special charities. In May we invited club members out for a Night at the Races which included a Derby Hat Contest, Tropical Style! We collected hundreds of personal items that filled the back of an SUV which were contributed to our troops in honor of Armed Forces Day. We also get together for a summertime phlocking at a minor league baseball game. In coordination with the minor league team, we have a tailgate wiener roast, a local trop-rock band, and watch the game from a pavilion with a hot tub (or “portable beach”)! The minor league team wear tropical baseball shirts that are auctioned “right off their backs” for charity. We Page 7 (Continued on page 8) October-November 2011 (Continued from page 7) collected hundreds of canned goods at this event which were contributed to our local food pantry during a time of year when food pantries are running low and supplies are much needed. Each year we’ve supplied enough nonperishable items to over-stock the food pantry. Another long-time favorite charity with our club is a no-kill animal shelter whose sole purpose is to rescue stray animals in need of medical attention, restore them to health, and place them in loving adoptive homes. Virtually all of the pets saved have been abused and neglected. For members that are animal lovers, there is the opportunity to help out at the shelter by spending a Saturday morning caring for the dogs and giving them a little love and affection! A portion of our Christmas Party silent auction proceeds were contributed to support this shelter. Early this year, members from our club were also invited to appear as special guests in the shelter’s “tropical” play, produced and presented to benefit the shelter! Costumes consisted of tropical apparel in a scene which included a tiki bar! It was too much fun to be considered “sweat equity”! Unfortunately this year has been a year of many natural disasters and it was automatic for us to get busy helping those in need. Proceeds from a 50/50 Raffle went to Red Cross and we met the challenge to match the $100 donation from other clubs for Japan Tsunami relief. Our main goal was to do what we could to help those areas devastated by tornados and then…… the destruction hit home. Within a day after tornados hit our area, we had a semi donated from a local trucking company and held a one- day charity drive with more than 50 man hours spent on the project and filled the 1300 cubic foot truck! A total of $554 in cash and gift cards was also received. There were many heavy hearts felt throughout the club that day and there was no need to be fulfilled with a party. It was definitely an achievement that warmed our Caribbean souls! There is a little bit of something for everyone in our club! Whether you’re an animal lover, have a love for children or a cause that’s close to your heart because you or someone dear to you has been affected. We believe in the importance of supporting our community as well as bringing our local Parrot Head Clubs together for events with local and out-of-town trop-rock musicians. We get our news and events out to everyone with a newly developed website that details all club events along with other local events where “you might run into Parrot Heads”! We also keep our members informed with weekly e-mails and “island time” reminders. Our board members take the time to acknowledge new members and encourage them to stop by Happy Hour before each meeting and Meet & Greet the Board Members! We are breaking records for member participation at our events and we are still growing because “just because we have a lot of fun and throw a great party”! Amazingly you wake up the next day after an event, way past noon, wishing you were on a beach with a Bloody Mary in hand, dazed at the amount raised for a charity when most of what you can remember was the fun! This club is a great group of people wearing grass skirts, tropical shirts, and crazy hats! We are fun-loving, trop-rockin, generous fruitcakes, who can throw one heck of a party……… with a purpose! We are Parrot Heads! St. Louis Parrot Head Dispatch Page 8 October-November 2011 The M.P.A. is an agreement between the St. Louis Parrot Head Club, Clinton County Parrot Head Club and the newly formed Parrot Heads of the Riverbend Parrot Head Club in Brighton, Illionois. Any member of one of these clubs can join each of the other two clubs for $15 each. Many of the Clinton County activities are around Carlyle and Breese, while the Riverbend activities are near Grafton and Brighton. So keep up with all the Parrot Head activities around St. Louis and Beyond and meet new and exciting phriends to boot by taking advantage of the Midwest Phlocking Alliance.

How long have you been a member of the STLPHC? K- I joined shortly after moving to St. Louis in 1995. I did not know a soul here, and attended a Margarita fest at the old Keys in Westport, saw the STLPHC flyer on the table and joined. My fellow STLPHC members were my first group of friends here. J- I joined in 2003 after I met Karen. Our first function together was the STL-PHC Beach Party. 2. Do you belong to any other clubs? K-Have not joined any other clubs. J-No other club memberships 3. What is your Favorite Jimmy Buffett Song? K- I have two: Come Monday and Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season J-Come Monday is one of the top songs, also like Creola, In the Shelter, Barefoot Children in the Rain and Conky Tonkin 4. What concert venues have you attended? K-I became a Buffett fan later in life. A good friend suggested that attending a Buffett concert was the best medicine to cope with an ugly divorce. Kerry instructed me to purchase the cassette tape, "Songs You Know By Heart", and learn the words which I dutifully did. My first concert experience began with a house party complete with cheesburgers, shrimp and of course, margaritas and Coronas and then the crazy ride to Poplar Creek, an outdoor venue in Elgin, IL (no longer there). Since that first concert in 1992 - I was hooked, and have seen Jimmy perform 26 times in Chicago, Indianapolis, Hartford CT, Alpine Valley, St. Louis, MOTM and Sag Harbor, NY. J-First Buffett concert was in 2004 (Chicago), since then have done Chicago, St. Louis (3 times) and Alpine Valley 5. What is your favorite concert memory? K-Jimmy's concert to benefit the Sag Harbor Montessori School in 1999. The venue was a small theater that held a couple of hundred people. It was just Jimmy and his guitar. I imagine that's what his performances were like in the early days... Two other concerts were memorable in different ways. Jimmy's concert in Indianapolis in September 2001 that was rescheduled because of 9/11 was a very moving evening of American spirit. And, Jim's and my second date (the first being the STLPHC Beach Party) was to attend Jimmy's concert in Tinley Park in 2003 where he also met my family and "northern" friends. J-Best memory is when Buffett showed up at Meeting of the Minds and gave a 2-hour free concert at the Casa. 6. What STL-PHC/PHIP events have you attended? K-The Annual Beach Party was an event that I began in Lake Saint Louis (~ 1996 or 1997) and has continued since. The band Phins found its beginning at a Beach Party when Paul Rousch, Charlie Tuna Donnell and Flipper jammed together for the first time. I've attended only 7 MOTM meetings in Key West - would love to go every year. I served as Treasurer of the STLPHC from 1999 - 2002. J- Attend Beach Party and Christmas Party regularly. Have done Mardi Gras 7. What is your favorite “purpose”? K-Alzheimer's Association - I like participating in the annual walk. J-Haven't focused on one charity. I like supporting special causes and the lesser known charities who really appreciate any help that comes their way. St. Louis Parrot Head Dispatch Page 19 October-November 2011 (Continued from page 19) 8. What is your favorite vacation spot? K-Key West - including the 7 MOTM event weekends I attended there, I've gone to Key West 14 times since my first visit there in 1998. To attend the 2009 MOTM, Jim and I drove our convertible there and back - took three weeks, and literally drove the entire coast of Florida in that trip! J- Maui with Key West as a close second. Maui was Karen's and my first vacation together in 2004(sealed the deal!)- I've been there 4 times and can't wait to get back someday. Conky Tonkin' the Keys and relaxing in Key West is our favorite continental destination. 9. What other Trop Rock events/artist/etc. would you like to share? K-Jim and I are going to our first Stars in 2012 and we can't wait! Since being introduced to the trop rock world of music and other artists tied to Jimmy, my favorites include: Peter Mayer, Sauce Boss, Jim Hoehn, Sunny Jim, Jimmy and the Parrots. J-Meeting of the Minds and Flipperstock. Especially like the Songwriter's Fest at Blue Heaven at MOTM. Headed to our first Stars in 2012. On the Artist side, Peter Mayer, Jack Mosely, Sunny Jim, and Sauce Boss top the list. Jim and Karen have served as the STL-PHC Election Officers since 2006. Thanks for sharing Jim and Karen!!
