Treasure Island in San Francisco 9/24/05

[Guest Dan Doherty]

I am writing on behalf of California Pacific Medical Center, San Francisco, to find a small crew of pirates to perform at our annual company picnic. Unfortuantely the date is the same as the Ojai Pirate Faire, so I seem to be having a lot of trouble finding any available pirates in the California area.

About our event:

We are a not-for-profit hospital group with around 5000 employees. Our event is a company picnic which is scheduled to take place at the great lawn picnic grounds at Treasure Island in San Francisco on Saturday, September 24th, 2005.We are expecting a total of about 3500 participants to come during the event between the hours of Noon and 5PM. Another vendor will be setting up pirate themed food and beverage booths, midway games and activities, etc. as well as an organized pirate treasure hunt.

What we are looking for:

We would be interested in having a small group of an assorted band of roving pirate characters that might interact with each other and/or the public and children in a sort of comedy/improv fashion to add some pirating atmosphere to the event. This may include a rousing chorus of pirate songs, reciting of old sea tales, sword dances, or some light general shenanigans. The content can be left up to you but should remain within the PG, family and kids, rating.

Also, there is a marina on Treasure Island, so if you have a ship, we might be able to work that into the event, but would need to check with the regulations of the Treasure Island Park Services.

If this sounds like something your group might be interested in doing, please reply back with a brief description of your crew, your proposed performance material and your rates.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Daniel Doherty
