NEW BRAUNFELS - The debauchery of Bourbon Street, the plastered Parrotheads of Key West and the frat-style spectacle of 6th Street are only slightly racier than the party going on in Ken Valentine's backyard.


This article has our PH president going ballistic.
What does everyone else think???

She has written a letter to the editor about all the good things PH clubs have done. Can't wait to see if it is printed in the paper.

Honestly? I think she might be over reacting some. The article is not even about Parrotheads. I'm guessing the author was going for a certain amount of alliteration in his title, but saying "partying parrotheads" would have been just easy. I think your PHC president's time would be better spent jousting at a bigger windmill.

I concur, not really a biggie.

That's just bad journalism. The writer was trying to play on a stereotype.

There are other, more realistic comparisons (actually the Bourbon Street one was effective) he could have used in place of it, but it's really nothing to get over-excited about.

Be the duck, and just let it roll off your back. :D

I don't see any reason to have a problem with the article.

I'm thinking that your PHC President has WAY too much free time on her hands.

sounded like a good party,Parrottheads do alot of good for their communities!! People all over need to liten up a bit,we live in a time of constant turmoil in the world,a bit of loud music,some exposed skin,and a few drinks should be welcomed.
