Saved By The Knife

Purim Goyem Style 2014

We had a blast entertaining Throwdini and friends.  Throwdini is a many times over world record knife thrower.  We also tried having Chippy Chessse, our Bilge Rat, escorting patrons from the courtyard to the Captain's Quarters.

Purim Goyem Style

Celebrating Purim with the Pirate Fiesta has never been better. 2014 will be no holds barred.

We’re making the vittles. We ask each person bring a bottle of wine or the equivalent, 

and one to share.

This Saturday we are capping the total guests and Krewe at 10.

Pirate Fiesta Assembly

The Pirate Fiesta is held together by gravity, all pieces slot together.  There are only 4 bolts in the construction.  No piece on the ship is longer than 48".  The trusses seen in the picture above slot together and the forks for the wheels slot up into steel housings.  The poles rising up from the deck of the ship simply slot down into their individual fittings.

The Pirate Fiesta has rolled in dozens of parades and events.
