Bruce Ellis aka Captain Curry and his partner Mike Moran aka Captain Squishee are the motor behind the Pirates of the Pacific Festival in Brookings, OR.

Bruce is on the show today to tell us all about the festival and how it came to be. Plus his adventures around the US, his experience running Ren Faires, and his newspaper and radio show. Dude is a busy dude!

Under The Crossbones is a podcast all about pirate culture. Your host Phil Johnson (comedian, musician, and pirate geek) interviews the most interesting people in the pirate subculture: Actors, Authors, Historians, Musicians, Artists, Festival Founders, Clothing and Prop Designers, Treasure Hunters, Archaeologists, and more.
