Magic, Dreams & Good Madness

…and next, it’s Mardi Gras!

Pyrates Alley c.1930

We wish ye all the best mates – and look forward to seeing many o’ ye again this year at NOLA Pyrate Week. Our wee gathering continues to promote real Pyrate history (and the places much o’ it took place), assist communities where we’re able, promote Louisiana culture/history/etc. and generally have a grand time with our mates during these adventures!

Probably the best New Year wish comes from the very affable, Neil Gaiman – it’s such a good one even HE reposted it this year (and it’s 16 years old)!

[su_quote cite=”Neil Gaiman” url=”http://j.mp/1TtSGXr”] May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.[/su_quote]
