Parrothead River Boat Cruise

Just got back from the weekly Parrothead Cruise down the CT river. It is sponsored by the River 105.9 and runs every Wednesday. The DJ plays Buffett music and has a Buffett trivia contest to give some local concert tickets away. There were 4 trivia questions............I had 3 of 4, and nobody new the second question. Here are the questions:

1. For tickets to see Melissa Ethridge..........Where was the term "Parrothead" originated?

2. For tickets to see Meatloaf and Cyndi Lauper..........What is the name of Jimmy Buffett's first boat?

3. Second try for above tickets.........What is the name of Jimmy Buffett's newsletter? (I was quick enough to win this one!)

4. For Dave Matthews tickets..........What is the name of Jimmy Buffett's favorite charity?

The 90-minute cruise was a lot a fun and a good warmup to this weekend's Greatwoods event.

Looking forward to meeting some BNers at the RV on Saturday!! :D :D

Cigar:

Did they mention if those cruises run much past Labor Day? I've been meaning to check it out, but have been busy practically every wed. this summer. I know they run lunch, dinner, and foliage cruises into the fall (either from Hartford or Haddam), but would like to catch one of the final PH ones - Arggggh! :pirate:
