Whitehaven, Cumbria, North England 14th-15th June. Avast there ye Bilge Rats! This'ere will be P.U.C.A.T.'s second event, so hopefully we should get it right by then. You swabs in the Colonies should know of Whitehaven, as it is the only part of England that has ever been invaded by America, (even if they were led by a Scotsman), I'll give'ee a tip, if ye come's again bring a box of matches. This is usually quite a big show, three or four tall ships, displays by the Royal navy and US navy, (although they may be busy elsewhere this year), and various re-enactment groups, Pirates, Vikings, Napolionic naval etc: Well worth a visit if ye be on this side of the Ocean.

Can ask anyone...we specialize in "virgins" Home to the Virgin Sacrifice as well as the mischevious, dangerous and sometimes psychotic Dead Imps. Not for the tame at heart we be, but if'n yer lookin' for a good time and nights that you'll remember fo…

This be the... ahem.. censored version of the notice posted up on a friend's livejournal: This be next saturday, btw which is.... uhhh... the 25th of June! At Noon in front of the Main Entrance, the usual pack of nightcrawling oddities and sinister-looking cartoon characters will expose themselves to the rays of the Hated Orb™ long enough for brief photographic evidence, discount passes and a quick encounter with Park Security. You may also want to slap on some SPF-1000 to maintain your unwholesome barroom pallor. At 5PM, survivors are invited to congregate in the region of the bumper cars for grisly group photos followed by mass domination of the Blood-Soaked Abatt…

I am currently in the process of putting together a GLBT (Gay Lesbian Bi Trans) pirate gathering weekend. Being a gay man myself, I always drool when I see a man in pirate garb, but can never get a chance to really compliment verbally the way I want to. Recently a GLBT only campground opened about an hour from Dallas, and I've been talking to them about holding a Pirate Gathering weekend there. My pirate themed social group (mainly gay, but we welcome straight people as well) has debated in the past whether to hold a camping event somewhere, but have never had the location to do it, and now we have a place to do it. A date has yet to be determined, but will be once I have…

It was taken as a sign of St. Elmo's protection from danger. Raise a glass and rub yer feet on the carpet to the Patron Saint of Sea Dogs! The Martyrdom of St. Erasmus...
