Welcome! Thanks for dropping anchor in our harbor! "Where is the Upstate Parrot Head Club?"
you might ask. It's just leeward of Margaritaville! "Where is
Margaritaville?" It's in the tropics somewhere between the Port of
Indecision and Southwest of Disorder, but no parallels of latitude or
longitude mark the spot exactly. You don't have to be a navigator to get
here. Palm trees provide the camouflage. Ocean breezes bring the
seaplanes and sailboats, tourists and travelers. Passports are not
required. Island music rules. No waiting lines for anything. There is a
beach and a thatched roof bar perched on the edge of the turquoise sea
where you can always find a bar stool. There are lots of lies and loads
of stories. It's a comical concoction that blends together like tequila,
salt and limes. Webster's DictionaryParrothead - (par-it-hed) n. Unique creature found in colonies worldwide. Not particularly dangerous, they do occasionally engage in "Feeding Frenzies" that can be somewhat disconcerting to other, less social creatures. While they frequently wear very colorful and unorthodox clothing, Parrotheads have the innate ability to blend in with their environment when required and are sometimes hard to detect. The trained spotter should look for subtle clues like a coconut bra, a license plate that reads PARIT-HD, or an email address like PARROTHEAD@MARGARITAVILLE.ORG Florida Times-Union"They live and work among us. Sure
they look normal and they appear to lead normal lives. They have regular
jobs, like teachers and accountants, and drive SUV's and they wear
professional clothes to work. But watch their ears perk up at the sound
of a blender, or make the sign of a shark fin when greeting each other,
and watch their weekday pinstripe suits be replaced by the bright
plumage of their weekend Hawaiian shirts. These people aren't normal -
they're Parrotheads. ...and they don't have to wait for the carnival -
that the Buffett concerts are - to come to town. They have their
Parrothead Clubs."
