Hammond, LA     November 2 - December 8, 2002

Creole-country is where The Bilge Pumps tend to spend their Thanksgivings and the cajun-fried turkeys were good to us this year (maybe too good). Your favorite pirates rolled back to Louisiana to give and recieve some holiday treats and were voted the Most Entertaining Stage Act by the festival participants.

Aloysius Smeesy the Carpenter casts a Louisiana voodoo spell on Squeegy the Cabin Boy.

Harvey the Corpsman came out for a couple of weekends to show the kiddies how to do the Harvey Dance.

After checking the water level on the lovely lake on the grounds, The Bilge Pumps decide it's a little low.

Maroon the Shantyman and Squeegy do a little sychronized drumming.

Aloysius had to do a bit of double duty at the festival, singing and dancing with The Bilge Pumps...

.... and with Smee and Blogg. Surely that's not the same guy, is it?

Squeegy, Maroon, and Phil McGroin play a marathon game of the world's largest Jenga puzzle.

Wannawhackya the Tiki God frowns upon The Bilge Pumps' antics in the King's Head Tavern.

Harvey and Phil get naughty lyrics made up about them by Kailyn Dammit and Squeegy on "Pay Me".

Phil gets some pirate peer pressure to rhyme with a city on "Donkey Riding".

Danika the Quartermaster, Dave from The Duelists, Squeegy, and Maroon share a drink after hours. (Wait, isn't Squeegy underage?)

Kailyn does his "Squeegy the night before" impression by puking in the nearest receptacle.

Uncle Maroon's story time really brings the pirates closer together.

Kailyn Dammit the Gunner reminds Aloysius to swab out the Cabin Boy after he's finished with him.

Harvey and Kailyn instruct the young rascals in the audience how to sing and dance along with "Johnny Jump Up".

Maroon buries his head in the drum to get away from the insanity on the stage.

Cardinal Sinnius Vice converts Squeegy from Cabin Boy to Altar Boy...

...but then Dave from the Duelists converts him right back to Cabin Boy.
(p.s. This is what happens when you leave your camera unattended)

Harvey, Kailyn, and Phil get down and funky. So funky, in fact, the front row had to pull plastic over themselves.

Either Squeegy and Maroon are getting into the groove of the song or someone in the audience cut a nasty one.

Squeegy looks for help as Aloysius goes on the prowl, singin' for some lovin'.




Our thanks go to Laurel Bryant, Sarah Ruffin, and Mary Younger for the picture donations.
