Avast ye scurvy Guerrillas!

Shiver me timbers! September be the month fer Pirates! And unless ye want to spend eternity in Davey Jones' Locker, we urge ya to channel yer inner Pirate and get yer self aboard.

On September 1st, the month o' Pirates kicked off with a very special BaconStrip, then on Wednesday, September 19th, it be 'International Talk Like a Pirate Day' - http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html and http://www.talklikeapirateday.com/.

And then we Guerrillas be roundin' out the month at 9pm on Saturday, September 29th by pillaging new territory - crashing on the beaches of little island known as Beacon Hill - for PIRATES OF THE CARIBEACON!

We be meetin' up at the lone stronghold of grog on the hill: THE BEACON PUB. They have treasure galore to plunder, including rums, ciders, and ales. And there should be plenty o' parking fer yer designated helmsmen to anchor yer ships... or ye can grab a #36 bus from Downtown or a #60 from Capitol Hill - both of which will drop ya off in front of the pub.

The Beacon Pub is located at 3057 Beacon Ave S, Seattle, WA 98144, on Beacon Hill, between S Hanford and S Stevens Streets.

The Dread Ship GMP will be needin' a hearty crew of Old Salty Dogs, Peg-legged Pirates and Lusty Wenches, as well as plenty of Sharp Witted Parrots, of course. And it wouldn't hurt to have some extra Pirate Ships around. Be sure to bring your treasure chests full of booty, in case ye be needin' more grog or rum. And if you don't have yer own treasure, bring along a treasure map and we'll find some adventure.

Perhaps during our journey will run across Mermaids or Sea Monsters, Sharks or Sea Hags. Or we could just see plenty of fish, dolphins and whales swimming amongst the seaweed in the deep blue waves of the briney deep.

So get yer crew ready and meet us at the Beacon Pub, Saturday Sept. 29th at 9pm for a night of pillaging, plundering, drinking, singin' pirate songs and tellin' pirate tales! And if ye don't have a crew, we'll just slip some mickey finns into the drinks of the locals, drag 'em aboard our ships, and set sail before they know what hit 'em!

Until then get yer pirate gear gathered and practice yer 'Arrrrrr!'s. If ye be needin' some inspiration, check out the movies 'Ice Pirates', 'Pirates of Penzance', 'Peter Pan', 'Swiss Family Robinson', 'Treasure Island', 'Muppet Treasure Island', or those 'Pirates of the Carribean' flicks. Or check out photos from the GMP Pirate party, "Guerrillas at Sea!", way back in 2003.
