Y’arr: You Going to the Pirate Festival?

NEXT WEEKEND / JUNE 19th & 20th (IT’S FREE!!!)
If you are anywhere near the San Francisco Yay Area do not miss the Northern California Pirate Festival. We’ve gone all three years and have always had a blast. They turn the Vallejo waterfront into a whole pirate village with plenty of eye candy (see above), games for kids, bands, Lagunitas beer, and food. So awesome. More info.

GET IN THE PIRATE-Y MOOD
Go drink some Pirate Beer and crank this up:

MP3: O’Bligatory St. Paddy’s McMix Redüx

If I’m going to hit you over the head with the same (awesome) St. Patrick’s Day McMix two years running, the least I could do is add this Spike/Droopy soundbite to kick things off. Be sure to try my spin on green beer, Guinness Black & Green.
