History was made on 05/31/03

Post by Captain Tony »

The first ever UK phlocking took place last Saturday and myself and Captains Wench were proud to have hosted this memorable event.
We had Elizabeth Kommersmith and her Husband Mike from "Towns Around Biloxi" PHC.What nice people. There were 9 of us,which don't sound like many to you,but for me to have that many people in my house that appreciate Jimmy's music was something i thought i would never see :D We may try to start a club,and if we do it will be called P.H.U.K
What do you think of the name? We all like it :lol:

Here's what Elizabeth said in an e-mail

I can't begin to express to you how greatful we are that we had the chance
to meet all of you. I think it is a beautiful thing the way a group of
people who have never met can come together and have such a wonderful time.
The memories we have made with our new phriends will last a lifetime. Thank
you, Thank you, Thank you all for your hospitality and for making us feel at
home. I am very excited to get the pictures developed!! I think there will
be some gems there!!!!!!!!!



I think she said it all.
Looking forward to next year so if you're over here at that time , take part in the biggest event in the UK 8)

Congratulations! I wonder how many more British Parrot Heads are wishing they had someone to share their Buffett passion with. And I love the name!

I think it's kind of funny!

And yeah - get in touch with the folks at www.phip.com - they're pretty easy to work with. Pretty easy to get sanctioned as an official club.

Sorry tiki but when we all went into the street,what people were out ran in and locked their doors........Can't think why :lol:

The only places i've seen Corona over here G.M,jr are in the bars, but if we had some it would have been ice cold. :o

Hey, I was there too - great night and cool people Was very happy to be included with such a bunch of good guys. :D , however, on my way home, in bus depot (station to us), some low-life ripped off my purse (handbag to us) :pirate: in there was a brand new Jimmy album purchased that day in London - hope we have a new fan! :wench: who is now only half a pirate, hoping he / she lives long enough to get to 40!!!
If I get to lay hands on, they won't be the healing kind!!!!
