TEXAS PIRATE FESTIVAL 2014

The Bilge Pumps took on Hillsboro and the Texas Pirate Festival and sailed away unscathed. OK, so the bottom of the dinghy is coated in 6 inches of mud, but we consider that to be insulation.

We set up our Pirate Goods and Bait Shop and performed to our largest crowds ever at the festival on Saturday, even though we were missing Splice.

On Sunday, Splice returned just in time to get rained on and watch the festival get "officially" closed to a lack of vendors. Unofficially, however, we took over the Jack Tar Tavern and performed a 2 hour set to any and all participants and patrons who came out once the rains cleared out.

What can we say? The worse, the situation, the more we play!
