Norman, OK     April 5 - 7, 2002

The rain was out, trying it's best to wash out the festival (and it succeeded on Sunday!), but it couldn't wash out the fun and fans. The true hearts were out in force despite the weather and we made sure they had a some really wet pirates to listen to and dance with. It was the most fun you could have with squishy trousers.

The rain came down in buckets on Saturday of the faire, enough to wash out Sunday, but not enough to stop the Bilge Pumps from performing!

The true die hards in the festival would not go home and dry out without watching The Bilge Pumps play.

Maroon clutches Galleon tight when the lady in the front row gave him a scary look.

The rain would get so bad on Saturday that a makshift tent was created to keep Squeegy's guitar dry.

Then, being the incredible suckers we are, we do the same for our friends Tullamore, earning the new nickname, "The Bilge Poles".

E and Galleon do their best Shakespearean... um... acting?

Harvey the Corpman is either doing that damned "Cape Cod Girls" dance again, or is about to get all Godzilla on the crowd.

Maroon's corpse just keeps getting soggier on "The Night Pat Murphy Died".

Galleon, Harvey, and Kailyn blast each other with water on "Congo River" while Maroon seeks drier ground.

As the Bilge Pumps debut "Excursion Around the Bay", Harvey and Kailyn try to find a way to dance without killing themselves on the slick stage.

It's best not to talk too much about what's going on here.



Our thanks go to Donna Fagans and Laurel Bryant for their picture donations.
