It has been over a year since we last posted an update to this list,  
so here is a quick one... Nothing new to report at the Pirate Comedy  
Show. The old CD is selling better than it ever has via iTunes and CD  
Baby, but we still have plans to eventually bring out the sequel  
album.  Many songs that were planned for the first one will finally  
appear on the new one.  If and when it comes out.

Much has changed online since the Pirate Comedy Show first took the  
stage in 2003. For instance, YouTube.com now exists, and you can find  
various video clips of us there. For some reason, I've never bothered  
to mention this here, or link them from the website.  So, here's a  
few old Pirate Comedy Show clips (no stage shows, just some old stuff  
from a promotional DVD we put together five years ago).

Speaking of five years, this is our fifth season doing the same old  
show. That's alot of milage from something that was supposed to only  
have been done once.  We haven't contacted events to book new shows  
in the past few years, though we still managed to show up and perform  
a few times per season at the request of various local festivals.   
It's been alot of fun so far.

The Pirate Comedy Show podcast also returned brielfy this year, but  
hasn't posted a new episode in a month due to busy schedules.  We  
have four episodes recorded that just need to be edited and mixed, so  
at least we're ahead of the game there.  You can learn more about the  
podcast at the website.

As to performances... Will we ever have a new show?  I don't know. We  
planned to write a new one after the 2nd pirates movie came out, and  
now would like to do something based on the 3rd, but there's just no  
time. I've been busy as editor of the Regional Renaissance Reporter  
magazine, and also doing tons of video work -- video journals of  
festivals (including a 40-part series on the building of the Des  
Moines Ren Faire), TV commercials for events, etc.  And that daily  
"real job" stuff.

So we'll see.  Happy 2007 everyone!
