Seven years ago PiratePalooza was first conceived as an end of summer concert for mariners of the borrowing sort and that founding idea remains as dear to our thieving hearts as it ever was! This year we be proud to announce four fantastic bands of minstrels what have agreed to bring their songs to you scurvy lot at the Official PiratePalooza™ Pubsing at the Continue Reading

THUNDER!!! but that were a terrible storm we just encountered…. the entire Palooza has been blown into a strange new sea we’ve never traversed afore…. and we’ve just learned where it is that we’ll finally come ashore… why, it’s The James Joyce Irish Pub in Avondale Estates!!!
HUZZZZAHHH!!!!
If you’ve never been to the James Joyce before yoy be in for quite a treat, Jim m’lad!!
Be sure to order the largest plate of tater tots that your pocketbook can afford. You won’t be sorry, that much I’ll give you. And besides!!!… it’ll give your old pirate pal Captain Drew an excuse to come sit with you and stare at your best girl’s treasure chest. Tater tots, do there be anything that they cannot accomplish?
But of course, that’s not all they have on their fantastic menu, so dig in m’hearties and fill your bellies well!!
The folks at the Joyce know how to a pour a great Guinness, and of course they have rum you farty old salt…. you know that I’d never get you far from a full-service bar!
Best of all is their spacious outdoor garden patio, where you’ll sing along to some of your favorite sea chanteys beginning at 6pm and lasting until 10pm.
If you be a pirate what wants to talk and roar, more than sway and sing, I’d ask you to take a gander at their indoor bar… it’s big and ready for thirsty cuthroats like yourselves!!
We’ll have an area for merchandise set up outside, for those of you discerning enough to recognize the need to own a fyne album of pirate music, or the limited-edition Official 2008 PiratePalooza™Â T-shirts… which recognize the fact that we were blown off course this year, with a slightly tropical Tiki island theme. Note that we have limited supplies of shirts from the past three years, try to collect them all!!
And PLEASE don’t miss out on the PiratePalooza™ Pubcrawl earlier in the day!!

Every pirate knows that PiratePalooza™ is about music and the salty musicians what brings it to us. Whether it be long-hauls, sheet-drags, capstan shanties, stamp-n-go’s, pumpin’ or fo’c's’le shanties, you’ll find us singin’ about sailing, drinking and wenching. Now, without further adieu allow me to announce our line-up for the 2008 Pubcrawl!!
Wine, Woman, and Song – the very group of amazing singers what first introduced the Captain to these shanties. (Trivia: Naughty Nellie Peachbottom, the “woman” of WW&S, was one of the early co-conspirators of the Palooza itself!)
Tenpenny Travelers – the Travelers first climbed aboard the Palooza last year and were a genuine hit with our crew, with many demands that they return to us again!
Joni Minstrel – keep an eye on this clever little trouble-maker (and admittedly awesome entertainer), she’ll be sure to be plotting mutiny at some point in our voyage.
Ian O’Donnell – with us since the 2nd Palooza, this feller will have you tappin’ your toes and singin’ along in no time flat!
We’ll of course greatly miss The Lost Boys and Three Quarter Ale this year, but are buoyed by the fact that they’ve all become massively popular and cannot escape the (lucrative) bonds which will bind them during this year’s Palooza. We do hope they’ll speed back to us next year, itching for rum and rummy-tum-tums…. whatever the heck those are.
More announcements about the Pubcrawl and Concert soon!™
