Just got word that the Whydah traveling exhibit "Real Pirates" has had it's opening at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia PA moved back a week, to May 31, 2008. The exhibit will be there through Nov. 2, 2008. (The old start date was May 24, so it is not too much of a change, but lest someone planned to go that first week, they would have been disappointed)

The date for the benefit concert has been moved from Feb. 22 to Feb. 21 (problem with the venue on the original date). I have edited the original posts to reflect the new date, but wanted to give a heads up to those of you who might have already written it on your calendar. --Jamaica Rose

February, 2010 | Pilgrimage to Execution Dock London, ENGLAND UNITED KINGDOM The Pilgrimage to Execution Dock is an annual social gathering for pirate re-enactors in and around London. We gather in costume and visit some site of Pirate, or Maritime interest, before making our way to The Prospect Of Whitby Pub at Wapping, the site of Execution Dock, where, amongst others, Captain Kidd was hanged. There we drink a toast to those who have danced the Hempen Jig. This year we have arranged to put on a fund raising display for the Cutty Sark. The Cutty Sark, built in 1869 is the last surviving 19th Century Tea Clipper. In May 2007, whilst undergoing a major renovation…

I just got back from the Winter Market put on by Dave Mantz. I had a good time. Not too many people came out this year but it was still fun. I got a chance to touch base with the lovely people from Reconstructing History and a few fellow sword makers. That was fun. There were plenty of beautiful fire arms. I love the engraved muskets. I didn’t have much time to browse but I did get a chance to catch up with a lot of people. This is the last year that they will be having the event in that location and maybe ever. It all depends on if another place is available during that part of the year. I talked to Dave quite a bit about another he wants to put on in august and is look…

This year's Cedarburg Winter Festival will be a pirate themed event. They have contacted us here at the Port Washington Pirate Festival and asked for help in securing some pirates for the weekend. While we have enough volunteers at this point, this is an invitation for those of you interested to come in your garb and see some old friends. The festival is free to enter. The event takes place February 9-10 in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. It is about 12 miles north of Milwaukee, and just south of Port Washington for those of you who have been to our event. We're not running the event in any form, just working with them as it helps to promote our event in June. I thought I woul…

Here is his write up! Piratecore: Sea Chanties in the 21st Century with Gerard Heidgerken As a musical genre, the sea chantey has gone largely unchanged since the age of sail. But where most maritime artists have chosen to embrace and preserve the rich heritage of this music, others have opted to take their fascination with the sea into surprising new directions. This session will explore the development and current state of Piratecore, a relatively yo…

For those flying into Chicago for RF 7 (I think it's 7) Feb 4-7 2010, Southwest Airlines has announced a 72 hour sale, going thru sometime this Friday (10/30/09), with fares as low as $25 one way. I can fly round trip from Minneapolis to Chicago for $50, so I am SO THERE! A Caveat - Southwest flies into Midway airport, which is a hell of a long ways from the Westin Chicago North Shore, where the convention will be held, so there will be some transportation costs involved. Maybe if enough of us arrived at Midway at around the same time, we could rent a van and car pool to the hotel?
