While this is NOT a pirate event, this is an event that pertains to the period, and I believe some of the participants planning to participate usually portray pirates and are just playing the role of "militia" for this event. But anyways, in Media PA on the weekend of April 4th and 5th, there will be a "what if" battle between the units of Maryland and the militia of Pennsylvania. I believe any military or militia (or civilian at arms) portrayal from 1680 to 1720 will be welcome. Forum where the event is being discussed I plan to attend in my Red Coat digs, as the Independant Company of Foote from Albany New York with anyone I can drag along with me. Anyone interested s…

grab a bottle. this might be fun. ok- lets say a maritime museum, on a body of water suitable for long boats, doreys, etc... (no big boats) offers you 3000 feet of real estate for a GAOP careening camp- to ultimately become a permanent town- with 200 feet frontage on the water. use of the facilities to include bathrooms, a kitchen, pavilion, and oh yeah an additional 10 acres to do events on offers you free use, just support yourself. only catch- little to no budget, small town with closest transportation (air, bus, rail) an hour away and must be GAOP period. I'm thinking a small port royal. any thoughts?

Heads up me hearties… Who say’s that Pirates have hard hearts? One of our own from PRP that works tirelessly for the charities our group supports, has gone under the needles for CHOC, "Children’s Hospital of Orange County" and made the events part of his life forever. Two years ago, after the passing of a 5 year old for which we had done a Make A Wish event, our PRP “Jack” made it a yearly venture to gather up Actors from POTC and PRP Pirates alike and head back to CHOC for an Annual fundraiser in the memory of little Jonnie, our smallest "Capt'n Jack" and a memory we all cherish . The Event has grown bigger every year. Below be the Tattoo he’s been emblazoned w…
