In other words, display that it’s pirate season. Effectively signal “game on!” by unfurling your pirate flag and publicly making your flag visible on a flagpole, balcony or street-facing window. Or you can go digital and put your peeps on notice by posting to your socials.
My early versions of pirate season consisted of little more than throwing up the flag and using a naming convention that riffed off the fashion-week schedule — in February and March, I’d mark Pirate Season F/W , and in September and October, I’d set sail as Pirate Season S/S . But as my friends and family learned of these twice-yearly voyages and clambered aboard, more detailed rules of engagement began to take shape.
It’s this rule that makes each pirate season a delicious distraction. Over the years, I’ve been invited out for countless dinners, had all manner of visitors in to drink , walked the grounds of the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine and even been squired away toin Buena Park by my sister-in-law and a cadre of co-workers. Remote roguery happens, too, in the form of SpaceTime conversations and late-night shot calls .
