pirateparrot · Post by **pirateparrot** » June 15, 2003 1:35 pm

OK All, I was at a Bar last night in Folsom,Ca. called the PowderHouse Pub. Garrett and the ParrotHeads were playing. The place was packed and what a great time. Jim,Guy, and Garth, I told Garrett you were waiting for him in a couple of weeks and they were laughing about the fun times we have. Garrett says HI and they are in good form. Man I danced my a$$ off, what a blast.

Actually, I think Honeydo is being kind when describing the Key Largo as "cheesy' it really is an old apartment building converted to a overflow hotel that only awakens when Buffett is in town. It may be a Springtime phenomona that is given life by the LA Parrot head club. We don't regret staying there in April but the MGM or San Remo may be in the cards for us in September. Hey Pirate Parrot is John and Cowboy coming to vegas?

Pirateparrot, I met John and Terry (Cowboy?) at the last party, but didn't get to meet you. I saw you dancing and having a good time and John asked me to guess your age. Gotta say, I was surprised with the answer because I guessed about 12 years younger than you actually are (unless John was lying about your age). They were really nice and I'm looking forward to meeting you too this time!

My agent was able to get me a room at MGM (emeral tower) for a $300 total (Fri, Sat and Sun night). So, if you have the time or know of a travel agent, it may be worth it to check it out.....Good Luck all.....

Lisa your too kind. The Cowboy is coming but I haven't been able to get a hold of John yet. We've got plane tickets and rooms at the Key Largo. We always stay at the MGM but with all the diferent trips this summer we opted for the cheaper rooms. I look forward to meeting you to.

I found no great deals but I'm still partial to the Flamingo. The pool chair guy is a friend of mine and always saves me lounges in prime location. Another thing noone ever mentions is Carnival Court outside Harrah's. Its the closest thing you'll prolly find to a tiki bar. The place rocks every night of the week and they have the best ranked flair bartender in the world. I watched one bartender stack 5 layers of full drinks and 5 layers of liquor bottles, balance them on his forehead, walk around the whole circular bar, then proceed to buy everyone there a shot. Now that's good free entertainment!!

Well, I have not yet made reservations any place, but will do so soon - before prices get any higher. Poolboy Bob you are too funny...........but absolutely right! There are plenty of hotels in the vicinity of MGM if it's too pricey there. We'll see what happens.

Scoman - I think I said something about too bad you won't make it to vegas this time, (maybe under one of the other threads - not sure) then I heard a rumor that you were the guy dissing Tommy Rocker's and the LVPHC, so I take that back.

If it wasn't you or you'd like to give it another shot, then nevermind!

Have not heard anything around town on when the tix for here go on sale but will let you all know when I hear something!

Happy Fathers Day to any dad's!

nice PP so did the band sound great and did they still have the cute gal playing the steel drums? cant wait to party with them..2 days in a row and i think the first day starts with us drinking at jimmys house..and that can only lead to one thing"TROUBLE"

Pirateparrott · Post by **Pirateparrott** » June 16, 2003 5:49 pm

Hey Spooner, no girl on the steel drums but they still were great. Garrett says Hi to all of you and is looking forward to seeing you'll. I talked to him and I'm going to try and set it up so they can play the Art and Wine festival I sponsor a beer booth at every year. They would fit in perfect with the rest of the music. VEGAS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honey Do · Post by **Honey Do** » June 16, 2003 6:33 pm

Atlanta PH - where did you get the $179 at MGM? That's not bad cause when I called it was $250!

I think these guys like cheesy!

But that's okay - go where the partying is.

PP - get enough people and the cost is not that much at the other hotels! If I geg a cheap/free room at the NY NY, maybe I'll invite ya over!

spooner the dog · Post by **spooner the dog** » June 16, 2003 7:23 pm

PP forget the wine festival get yer tatooed *#@@ up to boise and party with us and garrett

Pirateparrott · Post by **Pirateparrott** » June 16, 2003 7:32 pm

HD, if you get a room at the end of one of the MGM's halls, you can get a taxi a be at the Key Largo by the time you walk to your room. Last year when we stayed there, I still had my bad knees, our room was at the very end of the hall. It felt like a Alice in Wonderland dream, we didn't think we would ever get to the room. This year, with good knees, we got a room right by the elevator. Murph's Law! I already have the rooms at the Key Largo. Can't wait, hey weren't we talking like this in February and March!

Pirateparrott · Post by **Pirateparrott** » June 16, 2003 7:35 pm

Hey Garth, Man I would love to but I just can't make it happen this time.

I'll be partying with you guys in thought ( might be cheaper that way

Honey Do · Post by **Honey Do** » June 16, 2003 7:47 pm

Okay Pirate sweetie

- I have to tell ya, while visiting the pool area at the Key Largo, which was fun, I went to a friends room to visit and I was NOT impressed. Maybe that's why I was looking into the MGM - the rooms are way nicer. And yes I know you only spend a few hours sleeping there. But if you are too scared to fall asleep for fear that something may crawl in your bed - and I mean something with more than two legs cause the two legged things are generally wecome - then it's a scary thing!

But I am a trooper and will go where the party is. If that's where it will be, then I may head that way. I'll just bring along my fly swatter and raid - or maybe get some big hunky guy to take care of those things for me!

We shall see. If I have enough cocktails than ALMOST anything goes!

As far as tips; don't take the cheapest red-eye flights! It is worth the extra cash to be able to sleep in and do some recovery time with everyone the day after the show. Oh, and if you're gonna be drinking Corona don't forget your bottle opener.

I got my ticket by going on-line and crossing my fingers. Then left my ticket at home (with my bottle opener) and crossed my fingers again that someone would have an extra ticket. Phin power was with me that day!
