In Search of,
A place to set up a permanent Pirate Photo Studio. I be scouring the SouthEastern Seaboard fer a place to call home, from Key West, St Augustine, Savannah, Tybee Island, Charleston, Tampa, Bonita Springs, Orlando. The location must have lots of tourist traffic year around and some pirate history.
In my search I came across a treasure of pyrateness, Queen Anne's Revenge Restaurant, Bar n' Museum. In the hundreds of pirate establishment i've visited, most of them are stores, golf courses, bar, restaurants, boats that are pirate in name only. Employees are not in garb n' know no how to speak pirate. Products are all mass produced plastic from overseas. This place is so refreshing in that it is done right. 
The weapons and artifacts on display are all authentic, instead of replicates. It's collection of booty is as good as the Pirate Soul Musuem in Key West, but you don't have to pay to see it. The decor is first rate in its creativity n' construction. The food is quiet eatable, in fact it is great! It's been around for 8 years, which says you can have a quality product n' still make money. This is a must visit for any pyrate visiting Charleston, SC.

Eye Poppin Treasured Chest,
This be me kick off event fer my one month voyage to Florida, where real pirates sailed thar oceans. Fantasy Fest be a 10 day event of debauchery held on Key West, an island that be closer to Cuba than Miami. 
I arrive on Thursday n' visited the Pirate Soul Museum n' saw many a real pirate artifacts. I set up me booth at the Fantasy Fest Street Fair on Friday n' sold many a Molly Roger shirts. Then I be a special judge at the Rum Barrel Pirate Bash - Costume Contest, where I be holding a Hot Pirate Babe search.
The highlight of this week long is the body paint of women. Hundreds of women proudly display their uncovered treasure chest in public, what a sight to see for all ye salty sea dogs. Captain Morgan puts on a huge parade of floats. I started out takin' photo from the side, but it boring, so I crashed the parade n' joined one of the many pirate groups in the parade. I didn't have any beads to give out, so I took photos of painted women n' gave them a flogging instead, yarrr!
