The East Valley Tribune has a comprehensive guide to attending a Jimmy Buffett concert:

They sound like something out of a Roger Corman horror flick from the ’50s. They are known as “Heads,” those ardent fans of bands like the Grateful Dead (Deadheads), Phish (Phishheads) and Dave Matthews Band (Daveheads).

Here is Get Out’s guide for everything you need to hit Jimmy Buffett’s show Tuesday.

The 3rd annual Key West Phest will be held in Erie, Pa on July 21st and 22nd. Confirmed so far for Friday are Sunny Jim White, Key West Express and the Peter Mayer Group. Saturday will include Uncle Jim Mayer, Key West Express and Club Trini. After the shock of Buffett ticket prices this year, we are keeping our cost the same as last year, absolutely FREE. Plenty of food, spirits, and fun for the entire family with the expanded Parakeet Island area.

South Carolina Parrot Head license plates are getting closer and closer to reality, according to the Augusta Chronicle.

The Senate Transportation Committee on Wednesday voted to authorize a special “Parrot Head” license plate in honor of the nickname singer Jimmy Buffett gave his fans, with proceeds benefiting Alzheimer’s groups in the state.

Rep. Skipper Perry’s bill has already passed the House, but needs approval from the Senate and Gov. Mark Sanford to become law.

If the bill becomes law, South Carolina will join Virginia as the second state with an official Parrot Head license plate.

TransWorldNews has conducted an interview with “Tempting the Tempest” author Nikki Wood.

It was only a matter of time before someone wrote a novel starring the colorful Parrotheads. Within a short time span, not just one, but two novels hit the stores with Parrotheads as main characters. TWN had the chance to catch up with one of the writers, Nikki Wood, over the weekend by phone.

The Belvoir Eagle has an article on Parrot Heads in Virginia vying for tickets to the Bristow, Virginia show:

Parrotheads who gathered at Sosa spent time talking to each other and exchanging stories of other Buffett concerts they had attended. While waiting for the clock to strike 10, they also watched the facility’s big screen television, and made runs for coffee and breakfast.

Mike Martin has seen Buffett in concert every year since 1988. To make sure he had tickets this year, the first sergeant got up at 4 a.m. to make the drive from Virginia Beach, Va., to Fort Belvoir.
