Title: 2009 Buccaneer Bash!
Post by: CapnJack on August 12, 2009, 04:59:06 PM
Ahoy to ye landlocked pirates out there! We, the Sunken Bones Society, are throwing our third annual Buccaneer Bash on Saturday, September 19th (International Talk Like a Pirate Day) here in Denver, CO.

Once again, the Bash will be held at Red and Jerry's off Santa Fe in Denver, and will start at 6 PM, continuing until they throw us out! This is by far the biggest and best Talk Like a Pirate Day party in Colorado, and possibly even in the surrounding landlocked states, as well!

We've got a hell of a party planned for you lot this year, an' ye'll not be wantin' t'miss it. Here's a preview of the excitement:

* The Port Royale Costume Contest will be back once again, to crown the greatest garbed pirates o' the night. Categories include Original, Reproduction, and possibly even a Group award!

* The Shanghai Crew will be back in port, so be ready with yer dubloons t'have yer mates thrown in the slammer, an' keep a weather eye out for Shanghai McGee!

* Yes, the Table Decoration Contest will be back as well, and with bigger and better prizes to be given! So start plannin' yer displays now!

*The Tortuga Tavern Tournament will be a new addition this year! Come and try your luck at Liar's Dice for great prizes, all to benefit a worthy cause! Sign up at the door! More info on this event forthcoming!

Thar be lots more to come, so keep a weather eye on the horizon! Check out www.???sunkenbones.???com/???bash for more details, to volunteer, or to pre-register for the bash! Admittance is $15 at the door, and $10 if you pre-register. There will also be group rates available for crews of 10 or more! If you want to register for a group rate, please contact Captain Simon Drake at info@???sunkenbones.???com .

We're lookin' forward to puttin' on the best Bash ever, so be sure t'be there!


By the code,
Captain Jack McCool and the Sunken Bones Crew

I believe she lives on the OTHER side of the Moutains and more north i a place called Steamboat Springs. I never knew they had Steamboats up there but I hear they have springs.

We have lots of springs and a playground that looks like a steamboat

It is a Buccaneer bash- bring yer boat (leave the steam at home)!

p.s. since the dice have been lost, a "kiss the gunner's daughter" contest may be a suitable replacement...

What, you don't want to participate in the "Kiss the gunner's daughter" contest?

p.s. I'd say I've "seen them," but that wouldn't be true...   :-[

Avast me hearties!  It surely was a good time yesterday!  If you can make it to the Bash, I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time... and we'll have live music, live wenches, once live food, and lots of live entertainment, as well as lively folk.

Live music, live entertainment and live food is great but live wenches are are so much better than dead wenches.

(This so going to get me in trouble)

But the dead ones can't say No.

Hey- I think I saw you go by...

This is no small party- we had a blast last year- so tell your friends!

Where else can you have your friends/family locked up in a cage for a pittance, listen to Celtic music, chat with piratical company, gnash, flirt and be all out dastardly all at the same time?  OK maybe at a faire, but there soooooo far away.  This is close by and for one night only.  Rum, rum, rum, rum, rum! (sing the rum part)  ;)

First few hours are child friendly.... morality does digress with time and age.  :o

Well another mall crawl came and went!  We had a ball wandering around promoting the bash, commandeering a train, invading the Taste of Colorado (in the most tasteful way) and just being all out silly.  After party was fun as well.  See what you are missing out on?!  Sign up early for the Bash and save money.

The Buccaneer Bash was great fun- I won a liars dice game! The Shanghai group was a blast- many thanks to Sir Garath for photos and carrying victims to the brig. A nice addition this year- getting to hear live music with Capn Jack.

Oh also for those that missed the fairies at the botanic garden also that day.
