Captain's Entry: September 24, 2006



Alas, mateys, it was a day that will live in infamy!

Our "Talk Like A Pirate Day" party on September 19th was a rousing success. The event started around noon, when people were already lining the sidewalk waiting for their $25 pirate tattoos. By the end of the day, we had over 120 people in the chairs signing their souls over to Davey Jones' crew... and also sporting new tattoos, of course.

We also had live music and entertainment, along with special guest appearances by the pirate re-enactment troupe Pirates For Hire. Captain Jack Sparrow, Captain Hook, Smedes, and the whole scurvy-riddled crew were on hand for some salty banter, fire breathing, and sword slinging fun.

Check out our two photo galleries (click on the octopus below) featuring photos from the day, along with a photo record of the 120+ poor souls who added their names to the crew roster of Davey Jones' infamous Flying Dutchman.
