America is still a colony of Great Britain, tea is the drink of choice for all colonists, gin, bowler hats, pipes and pith helmets. Art galleries and steampunk attire are likely, and uppitty colonists may declare war on you the next day. Pip pip, cheerio and see you there!

Hey! This crap costs money! Well, not for participating in the event, that's free, but the website hosting and name registration costs us money, the cards and maps we print, the mailings to bar owners, bail. . . . point is, send us a couple bucks if you have the inclination. We will very likely apply your donation to website expenses or event expenses and NOT blow it on booze. Ok, somewhat likely.

I's a paypal link, and you can donate as little as a penny.

 
Plunderathon!

Little known pirate facts:

In 1889, three Pirates stole the Portland Police Chief's horse and went joyriding. It was returned three days later with Powered by BioDeisel painted on the side.

For three months in 1905, Pirates actually ran the city council while the elected people went on a drunken bender in Salem. Few events happened during this time, but the City of Portland did declare war on Gresham. To this day, the declaration is theoretically in force because no city council member has been able to find it in order to vote it out (the original documents are in the secret Pirate vault).

Pirates laid the first MAX line tracks in the 1930s, way ahead of their time, but they only went from one treasure cave to another, and fares were only payable in Gold Dubloons. There was still a Fareless Square, but it referenced monkeys only.

The real reason the Star Wars episodes hit the theaters out of order was because Pirates had made off with the original scripts. Attempting to ransom them, Pirates negotiated with George Lucas for years, before Lucas gave up and threw together some crap for Episodes I-III.

There has been more than one band of Pirates in the waters off Portland. Smaller groups were established in 1889, 1896, 1909 and 1985, but were all swiftlyconquered and given wedgies.

Washington Park is not named after George Washington, as you might believe, but Samuel P. Red Testicle Hair Washington, a first mate of the Pirate crew in the early 1920s.

Knowledge is Power!
