This is my town’s annual day of debauchery. For decades we have had a pirate invasion from sea, then they parade our corniche in floats and shower beads and other gifts. A good time is had by all – many of them tourists to our fair city.
Last year, I helped my son’s sailing team run a charitable beer stand and I got to see the parade from a whole new set of eyes. Plenty of technology – refrigeration for the drinks (the charity netted $ 16,000 from a days worth of beer cans. Do the math how many gallons we sold, and we were one of 10-12 such stands), technology in the massive security, technology in the fancy floats, even LED in the beads.
Hey, forget the tech. Let’s join Johnny Depp and go
We're devils and black sheep, really bad eggs,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
