They have told us the capacity restrictions have been lifted and they are looking forward to having us back!

I hope you all had a wonderful St Patrick’s Day.  Let’s keep the “party” rolling by wearing our Parrothead St Patrick’s Day gear to the meeting!!!

Red Rocks shows:  So far, a couple of shows in April have been cancelled and a few others have been rescheduled.  There has been mo mention of any cancellations or reschedules past April.  All JB shows are still showing on the schedule.  As of right now, we do not know anything about the Red Rocks shows. I will let everyone know as soon as I hear something.  

Please don’t send me emails with questions on if the shows are still on or not.  I get dozens of emails each week asking if the shows are still going to happen, and if you still have your tickets.  If you didn’t contact me and ask for your money back, you still have your tickets on the same night(s) you originally asked for.  As of right now, all I can say is the shows are still on for Red Rocks, in September.  


 *******************************************************************

Summer Concert Series…  As some of you might remember, we were to have the Landsharks play at the “Arvada Smokin’ Tuna” (Pete’s house) this past July.  Unfortunately, that show was cancelled because of the Pandemic.  We’ve been working with Gary Roland and the Landsharks band on new dates for a rescheduled show. It’s looking like we will have a Landsharks concert between the Buffett shows at Red Rocks!  Jimmy is playing at Red Rocks on Tuesday, September 7 and Thursday, September 9, 2021.  The Landsharks will play on Wednesday, September 8, 2021!  Many Parrotheads from other clubs will be in town for the Buffett Red Rocks shows, so we will extend an invitation to members of other clubs to join the Colorado Parrotheads at Pete’s house for the “Concert in Between.”  It’ll be a great time to meet fellow Parrotheads from all over!  

Stay tuned for details!

MOTM Registration is OPEN!! 

Even as we as a community and a country navigate our way through loss and tragedy amidst the most challenging time in our memories, we look ahead to a day of renewal and rebirth and recovery when we Parrot Heads are Back on our Phins Again! And that day is coming soon. Registration for Meeting of the Minds 2021 – “Party at the End of the World”- is open!

MOTM event begins 11-3-21 and runs through 11-7-21, MOTM 21 is, numerologically speaking, the safest bet you’ll ever make! And with music programs added for Wednesday and Sunday of MOTM week, it’s a Key West Jackpot- five days of music and friends and partying with a purpose in paradise.

We will be rolling out more of the details of the entertainment program in the coming days, but you can bet your bottom dollar the lineup will include some staples – Howard Livingston and The Mile Marker 24 Band, some exciting debuts – Opening Night with “Girls Just Wanna Have Rum!,” Steel City’s Corned Beef and Curry making their first MOTM trip, and the addition of Kelly McGuire’s Lighthouse Songwriter Showcase – and some traditional charity cases – Jim Hoehn breaks his own record by appearing at MOTM for the 76th straight year, a remarkable career achievement for a man who knows just three chords on the guitar, and of course you won’t be able to tip a shot ski without spilling tequila on a Coral Reefer!

Some changes to know about: With just a slight uptick in the registration cost to lucky $97.77, MOTM is a remarkable bargain, especially with two additional days of music added to the program! We’ve made a couple of changes to make sure our charity beneficiaries do not take a hit during these challenging times. With sponsors tightening their belts, especially those in the hard hit hospitality industry, we are counting on Parrot Heads to come through with support for these great causes, as we always do, because it’s what we do. We’ve made two adjustments to help make it happen.

Event tee shirts are an optional purchase. Event surveys demonstrate that some people are passionate about their event shirts while others report having entire guest houses filled with Parrot Head souvenir tees. By making the tees an optional additional purchase, we will be able to save tens of thousands for our charities without having to increase registration costs for folks who have closets full of coral and magenta tops.

VIP Registration: For $200 (per individual or couple in addition to registration cost), you can be an MOTM VIP/Sponsor. This earns you a program shoutout, a welcome gift and other goodies, but most importantly, for the FIRST FIFTY VIP REGISTRANTS only, the option to purchase a guaranteed premium beachfront room at the Casa Marina. If you are among the first fifty VIP registrants, you need not reserve your room at the Casa. We become your “Concierge,” and we will do it for you! (Please note this is not a guarantee of any particular room or suite.) Yes, it’s an extra expense for those who choose it, and yes, the best rooms are no longer first-come-first-serve, but at least you don’t have to repeatedly call the Casa’s reservations line like a teenager trying to win a radio station prize just to get your room!

Go to www.PHIP.com to register, beginning 11:07 am Thursday, 1-21-21. As always, you must be a member of an approved PHC to attend. Memberships will be verified.

You must register for MOTM to reserve a room at Casa Marina. Beginning at 11:07 am on 1-21-21, book a room at http://group.waldorfastoria.com/sdumf, or call 1-888-303-5717 with code ZZPHIP for the PHIP Discount.

Misc. Housekeeping: Now is a great time to update your mailing address, email addresses and phone numbers with the club, if you have moved within the past few years, please send me your current information, so I can update the roster.  The CDs that came out with the Red Rocks Concert tickets showed we have a lot of old and incorrect information. 

*******************************************************************

Club T-shirts!!


We are running low on club t-shirts for our 25th Anniversary.  We have a few left in each size, but not a big assortment of colors any more.   (Possible color options are: Pink, as shown below, Black, Butter Yellow, Caribbean Blue, Steel Gray, Periwinkle, Salmon and Sea Foam Green).

Jeff Dunham is coming to the 1ST BANK Center 
(Broomfield Events Center). 

The SHOW HAS MOVED AGAIN… TO August 2021!!

Several in our group are interested in going, so we checked into group tickets. They don’t really have a group ticket sales up there, and we were not able to get a large group of tickets, but we did manage to get a few.  We have a very limited number, so we will sell them on a first come first serve basis. The cost is $75 each.  Sorry we can’t accommodate everyone, but there are still tickets for sale, so if you’d like to go, and can’t fit into our limited number, please buy some tickets online.  It will be a very fun night. “Jeffafa” is a SUPER funny!

Fins up!
