ALOOOOOOHA... TAMPA BAY PARROT HEADS!!!

FLORIDAZE...FLORIDAZE...JUST AMAZING!!!
What day is it?  Where am I??  WHO am I??? What a FABULOUS time we had!!!!  FloriDaze was an absolutely awesome event, with great music, great friends and great weather. I'd like to thank everyone who attended and assisted.  We'll put out a full-coverage report including the total dollar amount raised in a few more days, but immediately I absolutely must thank the steering committee and hope all of you will too: McGill, Dorothy, Rachel, Val, BackRowBob, Biker Steve, Diana D, St.PetePete, and Joanie. They made it happen, and many more kudos will be coming in the report we'll share.  This thing turned out to be PHENOMENAL and Parrot Heads all over the country are talking about how great it was and ready to sign up for next year!

But the party is never over for Tampa Bay Parrot Heads. And to continue with the trend of live music after the weekend we just had, Flip Flop Dave has volunteered to come out and play for our regularly scheduled meeting this WEDNESDAY, May 21st.. it's WEDNESDAY...AT Kahuna's on Gandy Blvd !!!
