There might not have been much seating, but that doesn't stop us from packing them in for the afternoon shows.
|
Harvey has something long, black, and vibrating between his legs. If only it was his.
|
Is it just me or does Galleon look like he cut one onstage?

The Bilge Pumps head over to the Leek and Daffodil Pub to join in on the unscripted, unrehearsed Pub Sing

Luckily for the baby girl, the pumpettes came from Louisiana to save her from mean ole daddy.

|
Kids Day or not, there's no escaping dancing with Harvey on "Cape Cod Girls".

Those that don't dance with Harvey, end up getting spit on. That's better than going to school, right?

It's a cold, Sunday morning and the Bilge Pumps fire off one of their infamous "No Request Shows" where we do songs no one ever requests.
