Decatur Square, Decatur GA (pic submitted by Christine)

“Pirates lining up to do the Virginia Reel in front of the statue of their sworn enemy Stephen Decatur. (It was Piratepalooza [last] weekend).“

Beware you landlubbers…Irishlass reminds me of something that InDecatur posted a couple days ago.

The dreaded Captain Drew has again gathered his crew of pirate miscreants for a 1:30p landing at Twain’s tomorrow for their annual pub crawl/pillaging of poor, defenseless Decatur.

From the PiratePalooza website (who knew pirate ships had internet access?)…

The Pubcrawl

The pubcrawl features four locations this year: Twain’s (1:30pm-2:30pm), The Brick Store (2:45pm-4:00pm), the Commodore Stephen Decatur Plaza (above the MARTA station)(4:05pm-4:30pm) and Eddie’s Attic (4:35pm-6:00pm).

The PubSing (a pirate concert)

The PubSing will take place at the James Joyce Irish Pub in Avondale Estates and will begin around 6:30pm, thirty minutes after the pubcrawl has been completed. The PubSing will feature bands who play traditional sea chanteys, traditional Irish music, and a few fun extras tossed in for good measure. The Joyce has good parking, but as the crowd grows you may need to park on side streets and other nearby locations.

I have to assume he meant “good docking” and not “good parking.”

A cunning spy (a.k.a. Carl) points us to the secret details for 2008’s PiratePalooza, which has been invading Decatur for the past four years…arrgh. Original plans called for this year’s pillaging to begin at the Grange on Saturday, Sept. 20th at 4:30p, and for Captain Drew to lead all scoundrels, dogs, wenches and landlubbers to Eddie’s Attic, the Brick Store and then back to the Grange.

However, now it sounds like plans for using the Grange as their secret lair may be up in the air. (Arrrr…I’m eh poet and don’t even know it)

Stay tuned mates…

UPDATE: Perhaps my quickest update ever! A check of InDecatur provides this link, which makes it sound like the Palooza might be canceled altogether. Arrgh?!
