Merry Christmas to all!
Having just inhaled quite a large Thanksgiving dinner, we are reminded of how much we have to be thankful for in the great United States. As much time as we spend sailing from port to port to entertain the fine people we have come to know, and the comradeship of the crew, has made this a great year for your favorite Pirates!
And now, as we enter this season of celebration for the birth of the Savior of mankind, it is important to put aside those things that hamper our fellowship and make a serious effort towards "Peace on Earth," at least inasmuch as we can control our own behavior! Personally, I have secured my cannons, and pledge not to blast anyone amidships, if it can be at all avoided!
Wishing for you scalawags to control yourselves aside, the band has been very busy of late, and will be for the remainder of the year. The ship made port at a frigid Pearland Town Center. The wet, cool weather kept many a land-lubber indoors, but a few brave souls did venture out, and several actually watched from the porches of their apartments facing the pavilion. No matter, though... Pearland Town Center is a great place to go and we always look forward to visiting! And then, continuing the cold pattern, 31 degree temperatures and snow did in a private (and outdoor) pool party in Lake Jackson, but the very next night found the boys spending time with many fine folk in Freeport, supporting the Boys and Girls Club annual gala. We had a great time, wonderfully maintained in food and drink by On The River/River Point catering. The event drew much support, with many generous patrons taking home auction items, providing even more funding for this worthy cause.
We have several Christmas parties coming up, and then will open 2010 at the Brimmage Ranch in Jones Creek. We spent last New Years Eve with Troy, family, and friends and anticipate this will be another great time!
Keep up with us here, on the www.intercoastalpirates.com site, or www.myspace.com/intercoastalpirates and come on out wherever you see us turning the ole' pirate ship to shore. We look forward to seeing you!
