FEAST ON THE BEAST! After-Work Get Wet Pirate Birthday Party.
Monday July 25th:
6:30 pm sharp.
Circle Line Cruises, 42nd St and the West Side Highway.
$free, BYO feasties and drinks.
RSVP: 718. 930. 4768, events@actiondirection.org

Yarrr mateys. Come dressed in your pirate best and storm The Beast! - a high velocity jet boat speed ride that normally only sees its share of landlubbing families from out of town. We will be storming the beast and telling pirate jokes while we whisk up and down the Hudson, terrifying tourists and chanting along to classic rock music on the high seas. We will feast on jelly worms, oranges (to prevent scurvy), pirate birthday cake for the Captain of the Pirate Brigade and anything else your pirate heart desires. The boast ride is guaranteed to be the funnest, stupidest half-hour you will spend all week. YOU MUST RSVP FOR A TICKET! We only have 14 tickets left (from 25) to hand out, and only those in Pirate garb get a ticket, one per person. (Tickets normally cost $17.) Hi ho, hi ho, its off to sea we go!
