PiratePalooza.com Rum. Cleavage. Pubcrawls. YARRRR!

This weekend Captain Drew authorized his web crew to begin accepting pre-orders for the shirts for the 9th Annual PiratePalooza™ Pubcrawl & Pubsing! Pre-orders proved so successful last year that the Captain has decreed that very few additional shirts will be ordered for walk-up sales, so if you want one be sure to pre-order this week. You have until the end of the month of August to order your shirts 2013 PiratePaloozaGear™ [http://www.piratepalooza.com/gear] – don’t miss out! Just like last year, your pre-orders will be available for pickup at the final stop of PiratePalooza™. If you require shipping please use the contact link and we’ll create a special order for you based on quantity and destination.  Please be sure to tell your pirate friends and please share this link on  your favorite social media site!

In yet another hastily-convened press conference, this morning Captain Drew unveiled to an astonished group of Japanese tourists the design for the 9th Annual PiratePalooza™ Pubcrawl & Pubsing: “The Curse of the Rumbullion” – a throwback to the classic pirate movies from the Golden Age of Hollywood. After a confusing exchange over the correct pronunciation (and meaning of) the word “Rumbullion” the Captain clambered atop a nearby Continue Reading

It’s that time once again lads and wenches! Time to argue over the color of the fabric for this year’s T-shirts. Weigh in with your opinion on our Facebook, Google+, Tumblr, and LiveJournal pages. You can even Tweet us with your suggestions!! We will of course probably wander off down the beach, drink some rum, pass out, wake up, pass out, wake up and then select a colour on our own, entirely ignoring your input. We’re fun like that.

It be that time again me hearties – when you sly scurvy lot pull your longboats up high along the shores of the inland city of Decatarrrr and invade her when she last suspects it! This year we has a brand new web site with a special dedicated section devoted to The PiratePalooza™ Pubcrawl & Pubsing and we nearly always be available via Twitter too, so there be no reason not to come and join us on Septembarrrr the 15th.

Pay special mind to this year’s T-shirts, which features a pirate skeleton that will GLOW IN THE DARK!!! That’s right, the darned thing uses a special ink that glows in the dark, like a radioactive pirate!!! From September 5th to September 6th at Noon EST you can pre-order your shirts – just go to the PiratePaloozaGear™ Page and pre-order your 2012 shirts, to ensure that your size doesn’t run out on Septembarrrr the 15th. If you’d like your shirt shipped you’ll need to contact me from that page!

We like to think that the Official PiratePalooza PubCrawl & PubSing experience is incomplete without the purchase of one of our commemorative T-shirts, and that’s not just because we hate stumbling over piles of those cursed unsold shirts for the 364 days leading up to the next Palooza. This year it should come as no surprise that the artwork on the reverse side of the shirts features Captain Drew’s newest invention, the rPlank™. Best of all (for you scurvy dogs) we’ve held the price of the T-shirts down to $15 (even though they have a crazy lot of ink on them) and for the first time in the 7 years of PiratePalooza history, Captain Drew is dropping the cost of shirts from previous Paloozas down to $10 – get them while they last. See you on Saturday?!!

The limited edition 2010 “MMX Skull” PiratePalooza shirts are on their way here in chestnut and pretty pink and once they’re gone they are GONE matey, so be sure to buy yours this coming Saturday night at the Official PiratePalooza 6 Pubsing at the scurvylicious James Joyce Pub in Avondale Estates!!! For those who have been asking, last year’s Fifth Anniversary adult-style T-shirt was a total sell-out the night of PiratePalooza though we do have limited supplies of the ladies style “Talk to the Hand” shirt remaining. We also have limited supplies of shirts from the last two Paloozas available, all shirts (new and old) priced at $15. Be seeing you! (with our good eye)

(For those unfamiliar with our tale, the 5th Anniversary PiratePalooza™ T-shirts celebrate the Legend of PiratePalooza, a portion of which has been republished below. These shirts will come in Ocean Depth Black adult T’s and Heart of Darkness Coal for the ladies. All shirts are $15. Limited supplies. Available at the James Joyce during the Pub Sing. Cash only.)

As stormclouds drew tight their net over the port of Decatur, old folks shuttered their doors and withdrew to the relative safety of their cottages. Outside, new mothers scooped up their children and scurried them along the old Church street in anticipation of the gathering tempest. When one young lad wrestled free of his mother’s grip she shouted for her husband’s help. Wasting no time the man snatched the child up short and growled “Listen to your Ma now, get along home!”.

“But Pa,” whined the lad, “why do they all bolt their doors? Why are they a-feared of the storm?”

“It ain’t the weather they be feared of, boy. It be the Palooza. It’s coming for us now son, just as sure as the Devil does come for your soul.”

This year we’ll be treatin’ ourselves to a fyne chocolate brown shirt to commemorate the glory that is PiratePalooza™. Prices will be announced just as soon as we know how much the shirts will cost us, and the shirts will be available on the day of the Palooza and also via PayPal, with UPS shipping. If you’ve missed a shirt from a previous year drop a line and we’ll check to see if there are any left (note: the very popular 2006 shirt with glow-in-the-dark ink is SOLD OUT in men’s XL size… heck, I only got ONE of them!!).™

All too quickly the months have thundered past us like great wallowing herds of Sylvanian Sea Sharpies and here we are with but a week to go until the legendary PiratePalooza™ pubcrawl. The music! The rum! The wenches! The rum in the wenches! The permutations are thrilling! So, are you excited yet? Well just in case you need a gentle shove toward the Lido Deck, allow me to introduce the artwork for the limited-edition, screen-printed, 2007 PiratePalooza™ T-shirts… wait, is that the???

That’s no mirage you young scalawags… per popular worldwide demand, this year’s PiratePalooza™ PubSing Tour is a part of the rPhone™ Concert Series!! The same steampunk technology that once made the Fake Steve Jobs chuckle in our general direction can now be hoisted across your backside like a proper flag that will tell everyone in your WOWLARP that “I’m such an enormous pratt that you just have to love me!” [What the hell’s a WOWLARP? -editor]

But wait, you say that you want another photo of the shirt?

You want to know what’s on the front of it?

Well shiver me timbers lads, looky here…. it’s our freakin’ brand new cooler-than-cool, “two letter P’s shoved up against each other to make a skull” official PiratePalooza™ emblem!! Horky snap!!!

The shirts will go on sale the day of the Palooza itself (beginning at the kick-off site). Note that this is a limited first-edition printing, so hold back $15 to make sure that you’ll get one. They’ll come in one color: black. There’ll be two styles: premium cotton Adult T’s and stretchy ladies babydolls for those lasses out there who like to show off their cannons, full and round. There are only a very few shirts in larger sizes and all of these will be first-come-first-serve. A limited number of the Palooza ’05 and ’06 shirts will be available for $10/each for those completionists among you!
