History of the Pubcrawl
Dreamed of by Captain Drew, greatly and fabulously abetted, planned and engineered by Fiona Leonard, Geoffrey Brown and Tracy Wilson, the very first PiratePalooza™ Pubcrawl debuted in 2005 where it netted round about 100 patrons, both pirate and lubbers. It featured music by a great gaggle of extremely popular Renaissance Festival music groups and much ale, wine, grog and port were consumed by the attendees. Many grand hangovers were born that night and the event became legend in short order.
