A new chapter begins for thousands of Jimmy Buffett fans, affectionately known as Parrot Heads. This also signifies a fresh event for the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach region. Meeting of the Minds (MOTM), the annual Parrot Heads In Paradise (PHiP) convention, traditionally takes place at the end of October and beginning of November. While it was previously hosted in New Orleans and Key West, the new home of MOTM is now Gulf Shores, Alabama.
