It had been more than five years since Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band played on the stage where the parking lot party’s started, Irvine Meadows. On Saturday, October 24th the Volcanos, Land Sharks and Tiki Bars rolled in around 3pm and it was like the party had never left. Our club was the PHIP host for the event and everyone stepped up to make this an event to remember. Vikki Swanson and Debi Stephens led the charge for the club, organizing an RV home base complete with a drop down stage in the back. That was the perfect platform for our old phriend Jerry Gontang, who played from the time the parking lot opened until just before show time. The OCPHC area was jam packed with Parrot Heads young and old looking for a good time. Our PHIP phriends joined us from as far away as South Carolina. Jimmy Groovy even stopped by to spend some time with the club and sing with Jerry. Jimmy Groovy donated an autograph guitar to be raffled at the November Phlocking. Proceeds will benefit Alzheimer’s Research. Speaking of charities, our club raised $1,556.00 for The Wounded Warrior Project by taking donations for “I survived the parking lot party” In This Issue lanyards, club wristbands and Cheeseburgers in Paradise prepared by our founder A.J. It was great to see Jimmy in the OC once again. Page 1: Workin’ n’ Playin’ He sounded better than ever as he delivered his 25 song set with ease.
