Portland Oregon Pre-Concert Party

[PapaParrot]

Here are the details of the Key NorthWest Parrot Head Pre-Concert Party before the Jimmy Buffett show on Thursday, October 27 at the Rose Garden. We are raising money for hurricane relief and it's open to everyone, so we hope that you can join us as we welcome Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefers back to our particular harbour!

Who: You and any and all of your friends and/or acquaintances! No cover charge, so come on down! All Ages Welcome!

What: Key NorthWest Pre-Concert Party for the Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band "Salty Piece of Land" show at the Rose Garden Arena, Portland, Oregon on Thursday, October 27, 2005.

When: 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm, Thursday, October 27, 2005

Where: Doubletree Hotel Lloyd Center, 1000 NE Multnomah, Portland, OR, right across from the Lloyd Center. NOTE! NEW PARTY LOCATION! We will be in the Exhibit Hall (holds 1,000 people!) which is right across the driveway from the main entrance to the hotel. It is weatherproof and everything (drinks, food and, of course, music!) will be in one place! We are renaming the hotel the "Twin Palms" for the day! The hotel will let you park in the garage for $5.00 for the evening, and it's a free MAX light rail train ride from there to the show!

Entertainment: Tom Varley and the Sun Dogs (http://www.tomvarley.com)! Tom is an Oregon singer-songwriter with several CD's of his own tropically inspired songs out that can also play Jimmy Buffett tunes very well. He and his band will entertain us and should provide a great way to get ourselves in a tropical mood!

Beverages: Multiple beverage service stations throughout the area, serving Coronas, margaritas, mixed and well drinks.

Food: Several all-you-can eat buffet(t) lines ($6.00 all-you-can-eat!). We'll also be selling jello shots and have a raffle to raise money for hurricane relief.

Book Signing: We will also have a Northwest author (Kathleen Shaputis) who will be there signing her novel that features a Parrot Head, with half of the proceeds going to hurricane relief.

Rooms: If you need a place to stay, the Doubletree (aka "Twin Palms") has rooms available for the evening. You can call them at (503) 281-6111 and ask for the "Parrot Head" rooms.

Phins Up!
