Pirate Invasion, Long Beach, CA – 3 JUL 2011

I heard there was gong to be a Pirate Invasion & Faire on the Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier…since I was meeting Eve for lunch in Long Beach, we decided to check out the Faire.
There were a few people in costume, a few food vendors and several vendors selling a number of pirate items and trinkets that are irresistible to children.
Not sure what Buddha was doing at a Pirate Faire.
 
Tinky Winky got into the spirit of the day.
Not a single parrot (fake or real) but there was a live pirate rat.
Only in Los Angeles, do the pirates look like models:
It was time to leave when TW had his life threaten.
