Trying to start a local pirate gatherin' o sorts

[Eureka Tom]

So as I ahve mentioned on my maiden thread, I am tryin to put together a once-a-month pirate gatherin here in Eureka Springs at a local tavern.

It's an Irish pub, but I figure, drunken irish, drunken pirates... it's all good !

I was thinkin about having pirate music of some kind palyin in the background while we have short 10 minute "seminars" on how to talk like a pirate... how to dress like a pirate (findin stuff on ebay and the like) ... learnin a few pirate songs perhaps... oh... and of course DRINKIN SOME RUM !

I want this to be fun for everyone, but not too boring or too childish ifin ye know what I mean.

What kind of ADULT entertainment can we have .... short of gettin thrown in the local brig?

If this goes over well, then I plan on organizin' a once-a-year BIG PIRATE BASH/CONVENTION here in town !

(hide the kids Margie, them pirates is havin a PARADE...)

We already have teh conventions center to host it in if enough folks show up, and the town is used tohavin a parade of SOME kind every flippin weekend, so what's one more?

I was thinkin the weekend after halloween, aint much goin on at that point to be conflictin with anyone elses party, everyone should have their costumes already dusted off and still laid out from the weekend previous and since most piratacla outfits are so bulky and hot, November would be a good time to wear em ! (You can also hide your long-handles under em if need be like I did ... no one notices under the big fluffly britches)

What say ye???
