Friday night, the official pirate party was held at the Schooner Wharf Bar - an open air, two-story affair right on the docks. The place was awash with pirates of every type. 

The Corsairs soon took the stage, and I got my first viewing of the guys in person. I had loved their a-capella singing style from listening to their CD’s, but now I was also treated to their synchronized moves, dance steps, visual puns, & overall studly manliness. If you can ever catch them at their home port of the Scarborough Ren. Faire, or their local Dallas pub appearances, or be lucky enough that they travel to an event near you, be sure not to miss the opportunity. In the meantime, buy their CD’s.

After the Corsairs, other musical groups took the stage, until it was soon a group sing-along.
