         Steven Youngblood - Brent Burns - Jimmy Parrish & the Ocean Waves Band

         Today is the start of Rendezvous 09.  It’s the 4^th annual Parrothead Party hosted by the Panama City Parrothead Club (pcphc).  They are expecting around 400 parrotheads.  What a party this will be!!  We got over to Jim and Di’s around noon.  Then we checked into Rendezvous at the Legacy condos to get our badges and goody bags.  The first band Steven Youngblood started at 2pm.  We found ourselves a place in the sand where we set up our chairs, towels, and cooler.  We had a great view of both the patio stage and beach stage.  Steven Youngblood started on the patio stage and at 430pm, Brent Burns came on the beach stage.  There were ongoing activities.  A limbo and hula hoop that Sharky and I did.  At around 711pm, there was the nightly sundown celebration.  This was the poem to the day and the sun and then the conch blowing with a toast.  Also the cannons were blown off.  At 8pm Jimmy Parrish & the Ocean Waves Band came on the beach stage.  We stayed until around 930pm.

           Rendezvous starts early at 8am today but we won’t make it then.  We got there around 1030am.  Jerry Diaz & Hanna's Reef was playing on the beach stage.  At 230pm Sunny Jim & John Frinzi came on.  There is a full day line up and activities.  Once again we got there and we set up in the sand by the beach stage.  Our chairs, cooler and towels for Mr. Parrot and Sharky.  There was constantly something going on, in addition to the bands on stage.  There was a toilet paper and plunger game.  We missed that but I can imagine its fun.  We taught people the Butt Drop game.  We learned it in Marana Arizona from the Hot Air Ballooners.  Lunch was included.  Cheeseburgers of course!  There was also a Cheeseburger Cake.  Then there was the Carmen Miranda game.  John and Jim participated as judges in the Boat Drink contest.  Diane and I participated in the parrothead hat parade and conga lines.  We had the nightly sunset ritual with the cannons, conch blowing, poem and toast.  At 8pm Howard Livingston and Mile Marker 24 came on and as always, he brought his Johnson boat motor blender and made margaritas for the crowd.  We stayed until around 1045pm.

            Howard Livingston & Dave Hertzog - Gene Mitchell - Capt Josh

            This is the last day for Rendezvous.  We met a lot of great parrotheads and had a great time.  The bands end around 5pm.  The activities are scheduled on the beach and patio stage today, but some strong storms are expected and the wind is up.  Howard Livingston started inside Barefoot Beach Club at 830am.  We got there around 930am.  We found a table and set up shop there.  We started with coffee, and then soon after, we had buckets of beer and buckets of rum punches.  Gene Mitchell came on around 11am.  We saw him at Calypso a couple times before today.  We stayed until around 130pm then headed over to get Jim and Diane checked out.  After getting back to the cow and reorganized, we headed to Dustys Oyster House for dinner.
