CMT Presents Jimmy
Buffett & Friends Live From the Gulf Coast
Today’s “COAST IS CLEAR” July
2010
Out on our Gulf Waters
A different kind of Storm
People run for cover
As opinions like clouds form
The Trawler nets are empty
They can see abounds
Nothing like it used to be
Before the circus came to town
It was bound to happen
It happened to be here
We're gonna have to work to see
That the Coast is Clear
The Gulf is in my body
The Gulf is in my soul
I wish like you that I could stick a wine cork in that hole
Anger makes us doubtful
While fear can cloud the view
I for one don't think we've done the best that we can do
It was bound to happen
Where greed and crude appear
I hope that I'm around to see
When the Coast is Clear (I'll Be Around)
It’s the place that we all love
Wish it hadn't happen
But we'll still all be here
Living to the day appears
And our Coast is Clear
So Clear
So Clear
So Clear
Save The Gulf

Hey Folks,
I'm back from my site visit to Key West. My best Southern
smile along with some "Southern Hospitality" and
a little sugar on top must have worked last year! All the
restaurants, bars, shops, scooter rentals, and cab drivers
had only POSITIVE things to say about the Parrot Heads.
As I listened to all the positive feedback, all I could
think of was how proud I am to be part of our wonderful
Parrot Head Nation...you all are awesome!!!!!
The Margaritaville Key West Contest will be coming your
way soon. All I can tell you right now, it's going to be
way to much fun. Start looking at all the words to the song
of "Gypsies In The Palace".
Still working on a few new things happening at the Casa.
Will let you all know soon. Here are the things that will
be going on at the Casa this year.
1) On Thursday and Saturday all day. There will be a satellite
full bar setup featuring all the "special drinks".
Along with a frozen drink machine and the whole nine
yards. You will still be able to purchase the "special
drinks" at the Sun Sun Bar. This satellite bar is to
help the flow at the Sun Sun Bar.
2) The Casa will be putting out their signs all over the
property telling everyone how much the drink specials will
be plus what they will have on Happy Hourat the Sun Sun
Bar. I'm sticking to my guns about the special drink prices!
3) Everyone will be able to bring a folding beach chair
to the Casa. You will only be able to sit on the beach area
that is located on the left side of the big stage. You will
NOT be able to sit in these chairs in thearea in front of
the big stage.
4) The Breakfast Buffet from Monday to Sunday will
be $15.00....not $22.00
Hope to have more updates later.
Rules...know we don't like stinking rules...we got to have
them. Booking your room at the Casa. You have to be registered
for MOTM to get the Parrot Head rate. If you have guest
staying in your room they also have to be registered for
MOTM. There will not be any wristbands given out to anyone
that is not registered for MOTM. FYI...there are not any
rooms blocked off at the Reach for the Parrot Head Rate.
Have you registered for MOTM 2010??? Hmmmmm...you must be
still sittin'on the fence. You better watch out...your going
to fall off!!!! Then it's going to be to late. Registrations
are steady coming in.
I'm so ready to get back to Key West and sure hope that
you all will be there too.

"Gypsies In The Palace"
USM alum Jimmy Buffett
will donate boats
OCEAN SPRINGS — One of USM’s most famous alums
is trying to help the university and the Gulf Coast with
the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Jimmy Buffett met with
Martha Saunders, University of Southern Mississippi president,
over the weekend and toured the Gulf Coast Research Lab.
The singer, songwriter and
1969 graduate met with Saunders and the university’s
oil-response team to talk about rescuing wildlife and marine
life in the wake of the collapse of the Deepwater Horizon
oil rig. Buffett told the group he is interested in strategies
for creating a “voice for the Gulf of Mexico.”
Buffett has teamed with
Dragonfly Boatworks of Vero Beach, Fla., to create and donate
special watercraft, which the boat maker calls Shallow Water
Attention Terminal boats, for the lab. Designer Mark Castlow
said these 17-foot boats are capable of navigating in as
little as 8 to 10 inches of water through the estuaries
of Mississippi.
“We’re not pointing
fingers at anybody,” Castlow said. “We’re
just trying to lend a helping hand and get this tool into
the hands of the people who have dedicated their lives to
working with marine life.”
The SWAT boats will have
laptop computers and Web cams, so anyone with an Internet
connection will be able to watch live as oiled animals are
rescued.
“It’s always
a great day when a distinguished alum comes to visit, but
this was especially rewarding,” Saunders said. “Jimmy
Buffett is a person who cares about the Gulf and the people
who make their living on it. He puts his money where his
mouth is.”
Within 10 days of the oil
rig’s collapse, Saunders had formed a team of USM
scientists, faculty and students from GCRL, Stennis Space
Center, and the Gulf Park and Hattiesburg campuses to work
with federal, state and private agencies to monitor the
spill and minimize the impact on the Coast.
