The Trop Rock artists I talk to and all the Coral Reefers are looking forward to another awesome Meeting of the Minds 2014!!! All we need is YOU!! 

Here is a Casa Marina update for you. The Casa Marina has many classes of rooms sold out. There are rooms left but the longer you wait the less chance you will be able to get the type of room you want. The Parrot Head rate is significantly less than the standard Waldorf Astoria Casa Marina rate as we book the entire hotel each year to get the best deal for the folks attending MOTM. Be sure you help us sell this hotel out! We want every room booked with zero vacancy! You all continue to sell out the Casa and let’s get it done again in record time! 

HURRY THERE ARE ONLY 42 DAYS LEFT ‘TILL THE CASA MARINA ROOM CONTEST ENDS!!!

What a FREE STAY AT Meeting of the Minds? REMEMBER If you register for MOTM and BOOK YOUR ROOM at the Casa Marina Resort prior to midnight EST on June 30th 2014 you will be put into a drawing for FOUR FREE NIGHTS in a Casa Marina OCEAN FRONT 2 BEDROOM SUITE!! 

Here is the online link to book your room at the Casa Marina:
