Rum. Cleavage. Pubcrawls. YARRRR!
15Sep2015
This past weekend I decided that I needed to relax in anticipation of the upcoming 11th Annual PiratePalooza™ Pubcrawl & Pubsing, so I called around to my friends hoping one of them was foolish enough to answer their phone and reveal their location to me. In retrospect I rather wish that I stayed on the ship and watched an… Continue reading Nightmare’s Gate 2015

The first two attempts to interview this singing group did not go as planned, and the third interview was an absolute disaster. The fourth interview was cancelled due to a lack of rum, and the fifth interview resulted in a fire that threatened to engulf half of Brest. The sixth interview attempt should never be mentioned in polite… Continue reading Curvy, Scurvy, and Purvy at PiratePalooza!

In 2004 Julia McPeek Campbell & Ian O’Donnell met at the North Georgia Celtic Festival where Ian had been performing solo for a couple of years. Julia was with the Border Collies at the time and the two musicians hit it off immediately and began playing together soon thereafter. Julia’s driving fiddle paired well with… Continue reading Toucan Dubh at PiratePalooza!

The Tenpenny Travelers first met around the turn of the century at Live Action Role-Playing (LARP) meets, where they provided live music for dances. By 2005 their group had gone legit and could be found performing at the King’s Gate at the Georgia Renaissance Festival. This brief period as “classy instrumentalists” for the quality would… Continue reading Tenpenny Travelers at PiratePalooza!

It was a dark and stormy night in 1712… make that 2012… when the band known as Linen Brocade first assembled in response to a plea from their fanboy, Captain Drew, to make an appearance at the PiratePalooza™ Pub Sing…

This evening I met several of my pirate kin to observe the official public opening of a new Avondale experience called “My Parents Basement”, which has been constructed upon the remains of the dear departed James Joyce Pub – a wonderful establishment that I understand to have been eaten by a giant star goat, or… Continue reading My Parents Basement is Full of Nerds

Even though it is a few months past our 10th anniversary I wanted to thank all of my nerd friends for a tremendous decade together. It’s been quite a madcap voyage and I couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you, even if I can’t remember your individual names. I refer to… Continue reading Raising a Pint to Our First Decade (Let’s Kill DragonCon)

Last week my Internet crew announced the first event in the lead-up to our 10th Annual PiratePalooza™ Pubcrawl & Pubsing, which has come to be regarded as the “Start of Pirate Season” in the southeastern United States. Last night they brought the submissions to my cabin and we reviewed the many wonderful submissions. I would particularly like to thank Hilda… Continue reading Winners of Space Gun Contest Announced

To anyone who was at this year’s PiratePalooza and found a sack full of strange equipment, I would like it back. It contains my medicinal rum, a large block of cheese, a bottle of port wine, a television remote control, and my rPhone™. Unfortunately for me, the rPhone™ is the only thing besides my rPlank™… Continue reading Help: Lost Treasure in Siberia

This past Saturday we celebrated the 9th edition of the PiratePalooza™ Pubcrawl and Pubsing by invading the City of Decatarrrr and challenging the ghost of Commodore Stephen Decatur yet again (it’s a pirate tradition). As the clock ticked out the final 24 hours leading to the invasion I had to accept the hard truth that… Continue reading It Was A PiratePalooza™ Miracle

Most people are convinced that my success as a space pirate is due to my keen knowledge of the tides, my shrewd instinct for naval battle strategies, and a certain fearlessness for leading my crew into adventures they’d never attempt on their own. But this is of course a load of dingoes kidneys. The real… Continue reading Lucky Pirate Underwear

Included below is a restaurant review I contributed to Yelp.com back in 2010. This den of vegetarian confoundery provided Yours Truly with one of the most disappointing dining experiences this side of the Magellanic Cloud, which was, frankly, FANTASTIC (if you’re a fan of bad reviews). Not since the Great Hairy Bread Expedition of 1873… Continue reading A Pirate’s Review of an Indian Restaurant

Last year I found out that me old pirate pal Joseph “Foe” Davis were nipping down to Mister Walter Disney’s Swamp of Folly so I begged him to fetch me back a souvenir from that rat-infested land of happiness. However, to keep him on his toes I challenged Foe to avoid ye olde gift shoppe.… Continue reading Holy Water from the Pirates of the Caribbean Ride

Guess what? We have a brand new website!!! It’s hard to believe but the old PiratePalooza has been chugging along for 8 years now!!! For quite a long time we was using my own personal Captain’s bLog here to host the news about my annual invasion of Decatur, which many people like to tag along… Continue reading Major Website Upgrade!

I have recently (5 minutes ago) been made aware of something called “SOPA” which is meant to stop piracy. What a very silly thing. How would giving us pirates a bath stop us? Look man, we LIVE on the wet, wet ocean* so what good would that do? Would a clean pirate be any less… Continue reading Captain Drew Regarding SOPA
