Seamen's Ball

The Seaman's Ball is not a formal ball but a "Let's have a BALL!" dance. Show up in Nautical attire (Requested, but not required). Pirates, Steampunk airship captains, wenches, sailors, yacht owners... all are welcomed. The bar will have a list of special themed drinks for the evening's event. Of course our mascots, Morgan and Jack, will be in attendance. So come and have a BALL with us on Saturday night!

Nerd Rage Corner

In Cuba, the Communist government very strictly limits what you can and cannot do, but they know better than to stop Cuban baseball fans from gathering in a corner of a public park and loudly arguing about the finer points of diamond bags. If there's anyone angrier than cuban ball-aficionados, it's NERDS. All weekend, a public corner of the common area will be stocked with tiny cards with topics nerds love to RAGE about. Stop by, meet some new friends, and promptly alienate them in an unmoderated explosion of expletive-peppered vitriol. Finally, a chance to determine who was the best Doctor, whether Star Trek could beat Star Wars in a fight, or whether Subs really are better than Dubs. (The answers are Tom Baker, no, and hell yes.)

Nauticon Pirate Cruise Upon The Viking Princess

SOLD OUT! - as of May 15th

Let it not be said that Nauticon ignores the exciting world of maritime archaeology! The waters around Cape Cod were thick with pirates back in the 18th century, but none were more feared than the dreaded Butcher of Barnstable, the Foulmouth of Falmouth, the Tripod of Truro (don't ask): Twelve-Step-Ted Lashliver. Twelve-Step-Ted was the horror of the Atlantic coast, wanted by Colonial authorities for high treason, piracy, murder and several counts of failure to pay parking tickets. Try as they might, though, no man ever caught him, and his fearsome Bermuda sloop The Suffering Bastard ran contraband and waylaid merchantmen from Cape Ann to the Caribbean for the better part of ten years, until he abruptly disappeared. The Bastard put in to Provincetown, but Ted wasn't aboard. His crew reported that something of great import to the Captain went overboard in choppy seas just offshore, and Twelve-Step-Ted went right over the rail after it. What was so important that Captain Lashliver would dive into an angry sea, never to be seen again, rather than lose it? None of his crew elaborated, and most of them were hanged before the end of the day, but the ship's bosun, Delirious Dickie Rackham, was shot trying to escape-- tucked into his trousers was a sea-chart. That chard mouldered behind the bar at generations of kitchy area family seafood restaurants until "Freebooter" Ferraro traded for it with a fistful of POGS and a coupon for a free entree with the purchase of an equal or more expensive entree. He recognized what it was, and knew that somewhere, beneath the waves of the slate-blue Atlantic, was whatever treasure Twelve-Step-Ted Lashliver died trying to retrieve. How better to proceed then to rent a boat, fill it with totally untrained convention attendees, and set off into the sunset on a booze-fueled quest for mysterious pirate swag?

Join him, as the crew of Nauticon leads you on a pirate singalong down the street to the pier (don't worry; it's probably not the weirdest thing residents have seen today), where we will board the Viking Princess, a noble vessel hired to help us locate Twelve-Step-Ted's treasure. After taking on suitable provisions and making ready, we will set out for the high seas, try to decipher Delirious Dickie's chart and see if we can't all come back to shore millionaires! Carousing to follow.

Pirate Outfits or their like is STRONGLY encouraged. Space on the Viking Princess is extremely limited and there are only 35 slots available and signups will be on a first come first served basis.

There will be a $25.00 charge per person to cover the cost of the boat charter.
