PiratePalooza TV can now confidently report that the Georgia Renaissance Festival (GARF) will replace its wildly popular joust with the world’s largest Renaissance wave pool.
At more than 1.5 acres, this new venue will be named the Dragoon Lagoon – easily stealing the crown from the Great Golly Wash at the Upper Mid-Kansas Enlightenment Faire.
Classic European Construction
The design and manufacture of this beach resort was awarded to the firm of Erlatz Fink, the same group responsible for the Georgia faire’s controversial roller coaster, The Consort Express.
According to our sources, the signature red Georgia clay comprising the current jousting grounds is already being covered with fine beach sand imported from lower Alabama, like many of the festival’s patrons.

The Artists
PiratePalooza TV wouldn’t have been nearly amazing this year without the fantastic contributions by the following artists. We appreciate their talents, their time, and the fun they brought to this very hasty production. We hope that you will be able to join us at next year’s PiratePalooza in person, and that you will attend to these performers with your good patronage.

Captain Drew was furious when he found out that his organizing committee had cancelled the 2020 edition of the PiratePalooza PubCrawl & PubSing due to the Curse of the Commodore, so he screamed “PiratePalooza 2020 is Happening!” and then fired them all.
“I did not know that any man could suffer such pain!”cried the Commodore as he lay dying from wounds Bainbridge had delivered in their duel that fine March morning. It would become the second most famous duel in American history, and Commodore Steven Decatur. It would also become the origin of the Curse of the Commodore…
Posted in: Captain's Log. Comments Off on Pirate Plots Trifecta
Rumors are swirling that a pirate is planning a travel trifecta on September 19th – he plans to go to 3 locations: GARF, PiratePalooza, and then to Tybee – ALL ON THE SAME DAY!!!
We recently caught up with Karol Bartoszynski, one of the original founders of Wasteland Weekend, to discuss an incredible pirate coat designed and fabricated by his friend Scott Johnson. The coat is so imaginatively conceived, so well crafted, and so immaculately distressed that it could have stepped right off the screen of the most recent installment of the Mad Max series. They’ve been kind enough to let us share some photos of the coat and to provide some back story on how it came to be. Note: while this coat may be “one-of-a-kind”, Scott has plenty more ideas where this one came from! You can reach him through his Facebook page Squirrel Wurx.
