PiratePalooza Pirate updates, pirate news and pirate stories from the world of PiratePalooza.

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

Our strange little collector friend Arthur has posted one of the few surviving video records of the infamous monsoon-like PiratePalooza 2009. Shot by Rusty Anchor in Yarr-a-Vision, this video captures the splendor of the pirates as they dance their pirate reel under Decatarrr’s shrine to Commodore Stephen Decatur.

For the third year in a row Captain Drew has gotten the “Look at My Bouncy Corset Virus” on his personal computational device, and for the umpteenth time in the history of computers upon the face of this planet Onyx Consulting has ridded him of that pesky problem ( a problem which salves and ointments could never sooth). But that’s not the only endorsement the Captain will give for Onyx Consulting (which has two Continue Reading

Do you see that map up there, Jim m’lad? That be a map to the Holiday Inn Conference Center in the heaaaaarrrrrrt of Decatarrrrr, and that be where YOU should be planning on spending the night if you have had more than three nipperkins of ale, rum or grog during the course of the Palooza. The last thing anyone needs is to hear that you’ve stolen a haywagon and had a romp off through the countryside, endangering man and beast, wench and Continue Reading

View PiratePalooza 2009 Pubcrawl Route in a larger map

We be swamped with emails and comments asking for information on the pubcrawl route for this year so we’re going to go ahead and publish our planned course now to give you enough time to find sitters for your knee-biters. (Please be aware that we only approached Bob and Eddie of Eddie’s Attic LAST NIGHT about adding them to our pubcrawl route, so they’re in the middle of checking to see if they can make it happen… for the time being we are showing them as a “tentative” on our map. If it turns out they’re unable to take us in that night please don’t blame Mister Eddie’s Attic, just turn back around and dance your way back to the Brick Store! )

Check out the full pubcrawl schedule after the cut! Continue Reading

We’ve kept it secret for as long as we could, but with less than a week before the Palooza, it’s time to announce the entertainment line-up for the 5th Annual PiratePalooza Pub Sing, scheduled to begin at 6:30pm, Saturday, September 19th, at the James Joyce Pub in Avondale Estates, Georgia.

The Brigadoon Bombshells – the evening’s entertainment will begin with this harmonious group of wenches with dangerous curves and hoppin’ harmonies!

Tenpenny Traveler – a stockpot full of sea chanties and authentic sailing songs will have your toes a-tapping!

Joni Minstrel – a legendary protest singer who’s always causing problems wherever she goes. No doubt she’ll be plotting a mutiny of this year’s Palooza if we’re not careful!

Syrens of the South – a wiggly, jiggly bunch of burlesque wenches to tempt you sea dogs what have been sailing too long.

The Lost Boys – these kilted lads in teal do make the women squeal, and it’s rumored that they invented Rock music.

Three Quarter Ale – straight from the Georgia Renaissance Festival, we are likely to experience this popular trio as a duo this year, as it’s rumored that Wicked Pete Speakeasy is afraid that Captain Drew will challenge him to another game of Salt Slug Foot.

Wine, Woman & Song – this group, led by your Pub Mistress Naughty Nellie Peachbottom, performs some great traditionals and will lead you into the final Pub Sing at the end of the night. Don’t miss it!
