President's Message
Greetings Phlock,
Just wanted to update you on some things...some good...some
not.
Phirst the not.. it appears that Jimmy has canceled the
Vegas shows in October as the dates are off the Margaritaville.com
site:
http://www.margaritaville.com/index.php?page=tour
There are a lot of upset pholks out there. Now we have not
had any confirmation or direction on this ...which is upsetting
so me....so caution..if you are one of the pholks going...you
may want to reconsider ...or at least do not book flights
yet. The apparent canceled shows and lack of direction has
definitely made me "pissy pants".
The speculation on the apparent cancellations are all over
the board but Jimmy has come in to some sort of agreements
with the Miami Dolphins. The Stadium is going to be called
Landshark Stadium for one year. Jimmy has agreed to 2 free
concerts at the stadium to offset the costs. He has also
written a song for the team and "Fins" will also
be a chant this year...info is all over the net.. Some think
the cancellation of the shows are due to this new arrangement.
As soon as I hear something solid I will pass it on.
Alpine is still a solid go....
Not sure if any of you are familiar with Howard Livingston
and Mile Marker 24 but he is playing at The Barefoot Bar
in Okoboji on June 13th. I love this guys music. He has
a 9 piece band, but last year only 4 members were at the
Barefoot. He is so worth the road trip. Plus there is no
cost and he is very approachable. He starts at 7pm....
Road trip for sure ....

year.
A message from one of our neighbors.....
Pirate Rick,
I am Sarah
Rathbun the president of the newly formed Corn Republic
in Lincoln, NE. We just wanted to pass along an invite to
you and your phlock for July 11, 2009. Your Sioux Falls
Canaries will be playing baseball against our Lincoln Saltdogs
that evening and the theme is Sluggeritaville. We have gotten
Too Drunk to Fish to agree to play at the ball park before
and after the game. We will be having a bar crawl in the
afternoon and a tailgate with food and drinks and games
all before as well. Hope you and your phlock can make it
down!
Sarah Rathbun
Corn Republic
PHC Prez
More to come such as directions
but the club has arranged rooms at the Holiday Inn downtown
under "Sluggeritaville" for $89/night. I bet these
pholks are phun...
We have out own summer baseball
night planned as well.
Parrot Heads and Pirates
Night is scheduled for August 6th at the Canaries Stadium
here in balmy Sioux Falls. We will be on the Party Deck
...for $25 it's all the food and beverages you can handle....
Too Drunk to Fish will be playing before and after the game
as well.
You have seen elderly folks
on the cruise ship buffet line...wait till you see Parrot
Heads in a "all the beer you can drink" line.
We will have reserved tables on the third base line so Mutt
can yell at the right fielder and the ladies can scope out
the players behinds.
We had to work real hard
to keep several of the ladies off the team bus last year.....
Not sure if you have been
to our website lately but we have pics!!!... and our Web
Master Marr has requested pictures on a disc if you have
them. Just bring it to the Phlocking next Wednesday. We
do not place embarrassing pictures on the website...only
if you're naked...or kissing someone else's spouse....currently
we have 45 pictures of "Bandit".
Also Lynne has done an outstanding
job of getting us embroidered hats and shirts at an unbelievable
cost....
Orders will be taken at
the Phlocking. I will also be emailing out an order form
for those of you who cannot make it.
Not to late to make plans
to harvest ditch weed in Sioux City ...or clean up the highway....The
team is meeting at the Applebee's this Saturday at the Hamilton
exit off I29 at 11am. All you have to bring is gloves....the
Sioux City Pholks are supplying everything else....
See you all next Wednesday
at the Phlocking. Meanwhile enjoy the view of that backyard...it
belongs to you...
Pirate Rick
