Andrew Talbert By Andrew Talbert, PHiP Director of Conventions Hello Everyone! Here is the latest update for the 26th Annual Meeting of the Minds 2017 “We’re Still Here!” The 2017 Meeting of the Minds Schedule! The Meeting of the Minds entertainment schedule will be published in April. There are a few con- tracts and details being finalized as this update is going to press. Stand by for more information but get registered for the awesome ticket drawing!! There are less than two weeks until we announce the winners for 2017! The Casa Marina Remains Sold Out! We are still sold out at the Casa Marina but we are collecting names for the wait list as some level of cancellations will always happen and we need to keep the hotel sold out! If you want to be on the wait list just follow the steps below: The 2017 MOTM Wait List for the Casa Marina - Here are the 3 steps below: 1. Register for Meeting of the Minds 2017. REMEMBER YOU MUST BE REGISTERED FOR MEETING OF THE MINDS 2017 TO STAY AT THE CASA MARINA OR BE ON THE WAIT LIST FOR THE CASA. 2. Book your room at the Reach Resort. While our awesome Parrot Head rate is only valid at the Casa Marina the Reach is offering a discount to our group this year. This Reach Resort rate will not be as low as the Casa rate but it is a booking discount. There are some Casa Marina cancellations every year so booking early will put you up the list as we do go in order to move people over as va- cancy happens through the year. This can happen right up to the event so give the hotel your cell number not your home number for contact! 3. Email our MOTM Director of Registration Rick Fyffe at [email protected] Put in the title of your email "MOTM Casa Marina Wait List." Tell Rick you are booked at the Reach and registered for MOTM. Rick will add you to the Casa Marina wait list in the order in which you contact him. We have to fill the Casa Marina so we will work very hard to move everyone we can as cancellations occur. We will be working down the order in which you reply to Rick Fyffe. Sorry for any confusion but it is best to manage this list through Rick vs. contacting the hotel. 4 Here is the special link to the Reach Resort for our group discount – Again this is NOT the same rate as the Casa Marina.

They plan every year in delivering the best band line-up and bringing something new that will bring excitement and add to the carnival-like feel of the music fest. As Parrot Heads, our heart and soul is “Party with a Purpose” and anticipate this weekend to be Phenomenal. This year Parrot Heads and Trop Rock fans arrived from 39 States and Canada to gather for the four day fund- raising music fest held at Whiskey Joe’s Barefoot Beach Bar. Since attendees come in from all over the United States, Tampa Bay Parrot Heads opened their general meeting to enjoy tacos and music by Jeff & The Camaros. In an effort to have the bar lines run smoother, MOTB introduced the specialty drinks to be served during this year’s event. Thursday night is getting bigger and bigger every year. James Lich, the newly elected head Shrine Potentate, along with Bill Connolly and Dorothy Bedlin welcomed everyone to the opening night. Sunny Jim, John Frinzi and Howie Golub (The Boat Drunks) kicked off the opening act and was followed by The Bamboozlers to close the evening out with a huge successful sound. The crowd danced and sang along to some of their favorite songs. One of the best times that attendees remember are the “out of the ordinary” and different incidents. This year they offered to the first 50 registered MOTB guests along with other special guests en- trance to “You Should Have Been There”, Thursday late night, hosted by Rich “Schooner” McGuire and his band members Jimi Camastro, Bill Cockrell, and Rudy Cox.
