Yes. I wanted to give him a souvenir Virginia Parrot Head Plate to say thanks for letting us do it. Here's what I posted back in July 2004 describing the meeting: It happened at Nissan. Backstage passes were left at Will Call for us. We went back and relaxed a bit with the munchies and drinks. Turns...

He dedicated License to Chill to the VA Parrothead Clubs this year at Nissan for getting him the VA Parrothead License Plates. Here a clip of the intro: http://www.parrothead.org/clips/chillintro.mp3. This was a shortly after I got to give him a souvenir plate.

OK, they're finally ready. The Virginia Parrot Head Motorcycle plates are now available from the DMV website or from any DMV customer service center. You can see it and order it here: http://www.dmvnow.com/exec/vehicle/splates/info.asp?idnm=PRTMC . I'd like to thank everyone for their patience in ge...

Sorry about the delay in responding. I was waiting for the answer from my contact at DMV. Here's what she had to say: As of August 31, there are 3,004 Parrothead plates active. The motorcycle plate is available for order through the Customer Service Centers, the bulletin notifying the staff of the C...

We had both frames and vanity tags but we removed the frames so that the VA plates are fully displayed. Mine is 1001JB (the first plate issued) and my wife's is 1 HRBR.

I also know for a fact that Jimmy has BUBBA on his VA plate.

Go over to Church of Buffett and look in their Vault. Lot's of stuff to download. http://www.cobo.org/modules.php?op=modl ... file=index

I'm just surprised that JB didn't seem to be aware of your efforts. He definitely knew of the effort since he had to personally approve the design. I think he was surprised that they were actually being issued. I also think he was wondering how we could've gotten this approved by the General Assemb...

It happened at Nissan. Backstage passes were left at Will Call for us. We went back and relaxed a bit with the munchies and drinks. Turns out one of the security ladies knew my wife, her mother and my mother. We watched as several groups were led back to meet Jimmy. We also watched as the clock kept...

I heard from the DMV today and as of July 1, 2004 the number of active Parrot Head plates in Virginia is 1646. The number of souvenir plates sold is 137. That is pre-Nissan so those numbers are probably higher now. :D They will also let me know when they are accepting applications for motorcycle pla...

Gotta say I like, in no particular order:

Boats to Build
Coast of Carolina
Trip Around the Sun
Sea of Heartbreak
Window On The World

Those are the highest highlights but the whole album is much better than I anticipated.

I took my daughter when she was 4 and she needed a ticket. She's 7 now and going to her 4th show tomorrow.

Parrotheads of the Old Dominion are very excited to share the latest news. We are pleased to announce that a few special guests will be attending our little soiree this weekend here in Manassas, Virginia. On Friday evening, Amy Lee, saxophone player extraordinaire from the Coral Reefer Band will be ...

Do you really think they'd change the part that says "Virginia" to say "Beaches"? Maybe then it wouldn't be an "official" state tag and we could put it on the front of our cars (like any novelty plate)? I'm sure our Club members would order several if that were the cas...

I've seen quite few but mostly on friends' cars or at Parrot Head events. I have seen a couple on cars I didn't recognize though. A smaller white car on Linton Hall Road in Gainesville and I passed a white pickup truck on Rt. 7 in Sterling last Thursday. It's always a thrill for me. I'm looking forw...

I've heard from several people who have just received their plates. It looks like DMV is producing them again. If you haven't received yours then hopefully they'll show up soon.

I'm also still waiting for the sample motorcycle plate. I'll be sure to let everyone know when I get it.

Call Shirley Wells at 804-367-9711 to check on the status of any orders that were placed but not received. I haven't heard if they received anymore materials but I know it took several weeks when they initially ordered it. Hopefully it won't take that long this time. Also, the artwork for the motorc...

Got this from a person who says she knows the people in the plate area of DMV: In case you haven't heard and people ask you about the delay, our plate making "shop" in the Powhatan Correctional facility has run out of 'sheet metal' used to make the new Parrot Head plates. It is on order, b...

Chris is a she, as in Chris Huntington. Think Steve and Chris Huntington.

1. If you have a problem with your plates it would be better for you to call Shirley Wells @ 804-367-9711 than the basic customer service. I have heard from people that regular customer service has been really easy to work with. 2. If you requested messages, and they are all taken, you will get a ge...
