John Levique Pirate Days
By Captain Roberts - Marooned
On June 9th through 11th, half of Marooned packed up our gear and headed up to the John Levique Pirate Days in Madeira Beach, Florida. What a grand time was had. The event kicked off on Friday with a live radio broadcast and was followed in the evening with the Pirates Ball at the local VFW Hall.

Another of the great groups we got to see in action was the phenomenal “ARRR, Ink.” This group, focused solely on interacting with the patrons puts to shame may groups that have been around far longer than they. With a wide variety of prop gags ranging from groan inducing all the way to ale-out-the-nose uproariously funny, these folks were at it without rest. They delighted in taking time for the children in the crowd, swearing in groups of them as new pirates and giving out beads and the highly coveted pirate stickers. Highly original, highly funny, and with the best rendition of the “walking the plank” gag that I’ve seen in a long time, “ARRR, Ink.” was a real treat to watch.
