Houston, TX     July 15, 2006

The power of them there Disney pirates continued as we headed down to Houston to perform at the "2 Months Before the Houston Hot Sauce Festival Pirate Party" at the First Tee Pub. We cut loose with a four hour long show on the unsuspecting pub dwellers who were all decked out in full pirate regalia. We also got exposed to "Black Mamba", which is rapidly on it's way to becoming the official hot sauce of the band. Let me say, just cut your tongue off before trying it... it will hurt less.

John Crow the Cook contemplates the meaning of life before the show begins. He figured it out, but forgot it in the middle of the first set.

The stage at First Tee was a bit small, so the Bilge Pumps were forced to go with a 2 level performance... bad and worse.

When Harvey the Corpsman goes all Bob Marley, the pirate dancers come out to play.

Phil McGroin the First Mate gets a pleasant surprise when he tries to limbo in from the opposite direction.

Afterwards, you get the feeling he could use a cigarette.

Speaking of getting lucky, can you believe Harvey still is surprised when Galleon O'Galleon the Pilot starts humping him onstage?

Harvey is forced to get up and act like a drummer while Maroon the Shantyman sings on "The Dark Lady".

An unsuspecting birthday victim was pointed out to us so we can make fun of her on her festive day.

Of course, the person who targeted her had to be pulled up onstage for "Whiskey Johnny". Just think, she hired us. That means no one's safe!

When it's time to do the Harvey dance on "Cape Cod Girls", the people come and line up for mass pride removal. Wait... is someone picking Phil's nose?

Then, the whole bar come forward to dance around dead Maroon's body during "The Night Pat Muprhy Died".

Our thanks go to Mary Dossey for the pictures.
