Yaarrrgh!

[morsla]

Thirty-odd pirates headed into the Botannic Gardens last night for the Pirates of the Caribbean screening, gaining many strange looks from the more mundane audience members. 'twas a sight to warm the cockles of me 'eart, and I do be thinking we'll return next year. More pirates are called for (we were sorely outnumbered, but Yaaarrggh-ed bravely in the face of overwhelmingly lame NOVA-FM pre-film commentary), more RUM be needed, but a good night was had by all.

Plans for next year:
- Multiple beanbag/blanket fleets, so we can stage boarding actions.
- RUM
- A plank. If the NOVA-folk won't walk it, I'll beat them with it.
- RUM

I probably won't be doing the group-booking thing again. From 24 tickets, ten people cancelled on the day of the film... luckily, we found new homes for those tickets. All the same, a little more organisation would be nice.

Who wants to make Pirates into a tradition? It'll be back in the gardens next summer, and we'll be waiting for it...
